The company of Albigeois archers located in Bellegarde where it practices its indoor training is organizing over two days, Saturday April 20 and Sunday April 21, an international competition in the town of Paulinet. At the Baraque exactly a well-named and privileged place of welcome. “It is the Pyrenees trophy which had already been organized previously and which the Covid pandemic associated with a tragic fate of a member within the Spanish organizers had temporarily put on hold” summarizes local organizer Arnaud Bonafous. But this year the Iberian participation which brings together Aragon, Catalonia and the French South-West, is complete with the presence over the two days of around twenty extra-Pyrenean elements. This competition, referenced within the French Federation, is aimed at all licensees who, outdoors on uneven terrain or in the undergrowth, will be able to indulge their passion on a course made up of 24 targets.
Binoculars and indexes:
The participants move to each shooting range and adjust their target, the size of the face (4 per target) indicates the shooting distance. So 20 cm is equivalent to a 20 m shot, if the target face is 40 cm, the distance will be 40 m, the same for 60 or 80 cm. Concepts familiar to competitors who refine their preparation by using binoculars to assess the distance or calculate the presence or absence of wind using the wet finger technique. For safety, which the referees ensure, the shots are always downward. Reinforced security, moreover with participants who move in groups of 4 and record their own points as well as those of their opponents. Little time left to review the bow and quiver equipment, including the bracelet, the breastplate and the arrows of course to indulge in this skillful sporting practice which requires flexibility, balance of reflexes but also coordination and conviviality.
