The IFAA (International Field Archery Association) is an international organization of archers with a presence in Spain. Their championships are usually of shooting in the open field, against simulated animals of FOAM in which the archer must shoot the maximum number of arrows in a limited time, avoiding protected species, out of season, etc.
They also have another modality, Field, in which targets are fired. In either of the two modalities, the objectives are at an unknown distance, so the archer adds the difficulty of estimating the distance to the rest of the intrinsic difficulties of archery.
Well, in this championship, the alcalareño shooter Andrés Barroso has obtained the gold medal in the category of Compound Bow (ACO) Senior Male. In the qualifying rounds held on Saturday and Sunday, he passed the first of his modality, taking first place in the final.
