What is visually impaired Archery?
Visually impaired archery is the same as sighted archery. We all use bows and arrows and shoot at a target. The difference is that because some of us can’t see the target we use a different type of sight called a “tactile sight”.
How do I Aim?
- Foot locators to ensure your feet stay in the same position for each shot.
- Tactile sight on a tripod to help you line up with the centre of the target
- A sighted assistant (known as a spotter) to help you shoot safely and to tell you where the arrows hit the target.
How do I take part in visually impaired Archery?
To participate in VI archery, it’s about teaching you the basic techniques and making sure you can shoot safely.
