Clout Archery at the Bowmen Of Lyme.

Clout Shooting is very different from target archery because the target is actually situated on the ground. A flag is placed at a specified distance (180 yards for Gents and 140 yards for Ladies) and the idea is to get as close to the flag as possible.

This discipline is much more ackin to how archers were used in medieval battles. Archers would rain down a volley of arrows at a set distance to hit any knights caught in their range.

Any club that wants to shoot clout must have a very large ground with a minimum length of approx 250 yards.

Clout archery is predominately practiced on a Saturday Afternoon.
