ARCHERY
Take aim and shoot your arrow!

Aim and hit a bullseye

Archery is a physical activity, seen both as a hobby and as a sport, requiring above all concentration and self-control.

Everything happens in a matter of seconds: the action of shooting an arrow does not just mean hitting the centre of the target, it means training the body and the mind to work together. The fun and beauty of archery is in the arrow's flight, the idea of reaching the target first with your mind and only then with the arrow, experiencing in those few seconds that seemingly endless suspension of the senses and of time.

If you have a good aim then try your hand on the archery fields in the Altopiano della Paganella. In Località Belfort in Spormaggiore, near the castle ruins there is a permanent archery field with targets at various distances (50 m max).
