Clout Archery
Clout archery is a type of competitive archery which is rather like target archery. However, with clout archery the archers attempt to fire for both distance and height. The goal is to release high into the air in such a way that your arrow drops down into the target like a hawk coming down on a mouse (except the targets are not moving). The ranges are very long. For men the targets are in ranges that measure 165 meters and for women the targets are in ranges that measure 128 meters. Clout archery tournaments are also held for youth archers and these have shorter ranges depending on the age-group.
 Archery Then and Now
There now are numerous styles of archery which have emerged from traditional archery. Classical archery was prominent among the Greeks and Macedonians, Indians, and Persians. The archers' ranks routinely made up a significant part of their armies. When effectively commanded, masses of soldiers could be downed with precision by the coordinated and synchronized releases of the archers. Advanced armies placed archery on horseback, thereby permitting a swift implementation of war room objectives.
The Ten Basic Steps in Archery Shooting
