On October 26th , the 6th Field Archery Tournament was held at Shilin Global Geopark. This tournament attracted about 200 participants who are skilled in shooting arrows.
The competitive terrain was arranged in the Lizi Yuanqing stone forest where contains a wide range of stone shapes. We set stationary circular targets of different sizes at varying distances, heights and angles around a course of natural terrain. The participants can appreciate the spectacular landscape and experience the exciting atmosphere of archery competition. They held bows and arrows, concentrated on their targets and shot the arrows. The whole contest was breathtaking and thrilling.
All the participants praised this tournament for the beautiful scenery and the professional arrangement. Although the unique karst landform created more challenges for archers, the new venues and flexible targets made this competition more interesting and exciting. They all enjoyed this tournament and the spectacular landscape.
This Field Archery Tournament is the only top-tier archery event held in China. We organized this competition to improve its ornamental value and competitive level, promote the unparalleled beauty and ethnic culture of Shilin as well as foster the development of sports and tourism integration.
Since 2016 when we first organized Field Archery Tournament, we have accumulated abundant experience in organizing this kind of professional competitions. This tournament in Shilin has become the most famous field archery competition in China. We hope we can achieve more recognition in the world, which encourages us to improve our management skills, comprehensive capabilities and social responsibilities.
