Introduction To 3D A rcs_. <br /> Introduction <br /> The term 3D archery generally refers shooting at 3 dimensional life-like targets made <br /> from self healing foam in situations which would mimic real life hunting experiences. <br /> Early use of the targets was primarily for bowhunting practice but over time,shooting <br /> clubs began setting up courses to challenge hunters which led to more competitive venues <br /> leading into what we know today as 3D archery. Most early targets where made to <br /> resemble deer but today,manufacturers like Rinehart and Mackenzie make all kinds of <br /> animals in various sizes—from skunks to giraffes and everything in-between including <br /> dinosaurs and aliens! <br /> Whether you want to shoot for practice or plan on competing,3D is a great way to enjoy <br /> the outdoors with friends and family while gaining valuable experience shooting your <br /> bow. Setting up a 3D venue could be as simple as a single target in your yard or as <br /> large as a national level event run by an archery organization such as ASA or IBO. <br /> Equipment Needed <br /> Shoot what you have! There is nothing special needed to get started in 3D archery—just <br /> a desire to have fun! Bring a bow and field point tipped arrows—everything else <br /> including a sight and release are optional. When you attend an event,you may see high <br /> tech target rigs with long stabilizers but they are not needed to do well—many archers do <br /> extremely well with a recurve or longbow. Remember,as you start shooting 3D events, <br /> HAVE FUN! If you just want to practice—Great! If you want to be serious and <br /> compete—Great! No need to even keep score if you don't want to. You will likely be <br /> charged a fee for shooting regardless of whether you want to compete just to cover the <br /> ongoing maintenance of the targets you will be shooting at. If you have never been to <br /> an event like 3D before,be sure to ask about range safety and etiquette. <br />
