There are two kinds sports that you can choose to take part in if you are interested in archery. The first is target archery. This is the sport you find at various sporting competitions such as the Olympics. Here, the archer stays stationary at a certain distance and the object of the game is to hit the bull's eye that is on the target. The second kind of archery is field archery. Unlike target shooting, field archery involves you hitting a moving target. As such, there are different kinds of shooting equipment sets and accessories that are available for field archery. Nowadays, more and more people are getting interested in the sport of field shooting such as hunting archery and fishing archery, also known as bow fishing. If you are interested in field archery as a hobby, here are a few important pointers that you first need to take into consideration before purchasing your archery supplies for your sport of field archery.

Prior to purchasing all the archery equipment that you need to take part in the sport of field archery, make sure that you first work on getting your fishing and hunting license. Not only would you not be able to use the archery supplies that you have purchase for hunting and fishing but some sports stores require you to present your fishing or hunting license before you are allowed to purchase any archery equipment and or accessories. Local and state government agencies that are tasked to handle the various wildlife parks within the United States are very strict when it comes to shooting equipment used for hunting and fishing. In order to protect the natural ecosystem, the government has specified what particular archery equipment can only be used for hunting and fishing. Some local states have even accredited various stores within certain states where you can get licensed and purchase government standard bow equipment.

You can contact your parks and wildlife agencies for more information to find out more about the regulations in your community or state. Some states require you to complete an archery safety course that is sponsored by the state's wildlife and forestry agency before you are permitted to purchase and use archery supplies for fishing and hunting. This is to ensure your safety as you go and hunt or fish while using your archery equipment. In order to preserve the environment and to avoid excessive hunting and fishing, field archery is only allowed at certain times of the month within the various states of the USA. This is done to give time for fish and other game to spawn and grow sufficiently in volume. Bow shooting specialty stores and sports stores that sell archery supplies would be able to provide you with this information.
