Val delle Cannucce Hosts Tuscan 3D Archery Championship

The event serves as both the official Tuscan Regional 3D Archery Championship and a qualifying tournament for the 2027 FIARC Italian Championship.

Competition Details and Course Requirements

Organized by the 09COVO – Gli Arcieri del Tiburzi club with backing from the municipal administration, the tournament puts participant precision, concentration, and outdoor survival skills to the test in a natural woodland setting. The 3D archery format requires competitors to shoot at foam animal targets placed at unmeasured distances across uneven terrain, demanding accurate distance estimation and instinctive shooting techniques.

Manifestazioni come questa rappresentano un’importante occasione per valorizzare lo sport all’aria aperta e promuovere il nostro territorio Nappi stated, noting that disciplines like archery foster a conscious connection to the landscape and promote environmental respect.
