    60 competitiors is good going by any standards. Congratulations.

    Having never shot a field competition I have some newbie questions for you oscarBravo:

    1. What category covers recurve shooters using a sight and/or stabilisation?
    2. Do they tend to do better or worse at field archery then the instinctive/traditional people?
    3. Why would anyone go high-tech (relatively speaking) by using a compound and then shoot without a sight and without a release aid? Seems to me if you're gonna shoot a compound to make things easier, you go all out and use a sight and release.
    4. Does this youngfella have the worst haircut in Ireland (bottom left)?

    Let's see...
    1. Recurve freestyle, I think.
    2. They tend to score higher, but not necessarily by as big a margin as you might imagine. They are in their own category.
    3. I honestly don't know: I've never been into training wheels. ;) I can only assume that the compound gives the edge in terms of speed and power, but the shooters want to preserve some of the instinctive technique. There are different compound categories: compound bowhunter, and compound unlimited for the bells'n'whistles.
    4. :D

    Nope. Crossbows are pretty much verboten in Ireland.

    They're pretty good at the target stuff all the same. Second in the world in fact. And we have the mens world target champion as well. We had them at our shoot this summer and they shot Irish records for fun!
