>/r/archery is a place to share and discuss content relating to one of mankind's earliest pastimes. Hunting, recreational, and competition archery are all welcome!

|**Rules**
-
Violation may result in post removal. Repeat offenders are subject to banning at mod's discretion. In the end, these rules are guidelines; moderator discretion is the final determining factor as to what is and is not allowed. Just because it's not explicitly noted below, doesn't mean it can't be removed and/or disallowed. |


1.
[Reddit rules](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy) and [Reddiquette](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette) apply.

2.
Every discipline is welcome!

Please refrain from discriminating based on another user's style of shooting or choice of bow. PVC bows are archery as much as FITA compound.

3.
Posts must be archery related.

Posts must be archery related. Effort and content policies are left to the voters. This includes jokes, reposts, and memes - if you don't like it, downvote it; please refrain from reporting them unless they violate the other rules!

4.
Mark content containing hunting trophies as NSFW.

Hunting content related to archery is permitted. However, not all of our community members are hunters, and many people who follow multiple unrelated subreddits find suddenly seeing a dead animal jarring or unpleasant. 

If you do post hunting content, please be respectful, and mark your post NSFW.

5.
Buy/Sell and Valuation Posts will be removed.

This is not the appropriate forum for those posts.

6.
Affiliate links will be marked as spam.

7.
Studies may not be posted here.

Since the intent and source of studies cannot conclusively be verified, they are not permitted on this sub.

**Please note that people who abuse the report button will themselves be reported to Reddit's admins.**

I've tried shooting at blank target, from four meters. I had a target panic while shooting the third on a point, because of a Robin possibilty.
