		Outside of the Olympics, competition is divided into various disciplines, which are split further into Classic (or Recurve) and Compound divisions depending on the type of bow used.
		Outdoor target archery, of which the Olympic competition is a part, involves shooting at a variety of fixed distances on an open, flat field.
		Clout archery is long distance shooting in which competitors shoot to a ‘clout’, a flat surface on the ground, at a distance of between 125 m/410 ft and 185 m/607 ft. Flight archery is an exercise in achieving the greatest distance for an arrow.
