Field archery
Field includes an open-field target range, where archers shoot different arrows at different targets or different distances around a course.

As technology has advanced, archers use modern day conveniences to improve their scores. Archers in modern competitions usually use a release aid to hold the string steady. This causes close to the same amount of tension to be used on every shot, so the arrow flight is the same. In addition, archers will often use gummy wax. The gummy wax helped to hold the arrow in place, and it lubricated the trough, giving the shot a smooth glide.
