    10 metre Archery on club ranges?

    I have noticed some 10 meter archery targets for sale and just happen to have a new archery butt that I have taken down to our RMTC club where we have an unused "lane" on the end of our shooting bench where we could have an occasional "arch"

    It turns out that target archery is not exactly unknown to many target airgun shooters and I was wondering if any other target airgun clubs have facility to include 10 meter archery?

    10 metres hardly seems worth it to me?

    Maybe Dave,

    ....but the regular archery targets are huge and the 10 meter targets are smaller, so if they are "scaled" (like the NSRA 6 yard to 10 meter targets etc) it could be a worthwhile challenge?

    I would guess that the chances of splitting an arrow are increased with such a small bull area, so it could be an expensive option for a top shot

    We have not tried it yet so maybe your suspicions are right and it is just too easy - we will have to "give it a try" and see if it is worth bothering with.

    Ive got a spare packet of Polo mints if you run short of targets.

    Have you tried 10m spear throwing?

    Seems quite apt.



    Cant see 'the point' myself.
