FIELD ARCHERY ASSOCIATION OF INDIA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Asia Region consists of Hong Kong and India with the possibility of a third member in the region. The region is considering hosting a regional indoor tournament soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field Archery Association of India (FAAI) successfully hosted their 10th Invitational and FAAI National Field-Indoor Archery Championship at Amritsar in Punjab State from the 26th to 28th of February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this COVID-19 Pandemic period, the Association wanted the archers to get back into practice and form whilst boosting the moral of the archers having to isolate and not having practiced since February 2020. More than 350 archers from 13 states across India attended the event which is remarkable considering India has started with a 2nd wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government of Punjab State demanded strict rules for the event to proceed and FAAI is grateful that the championships was
permitted to be hosted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Championships focused on six age categories, namely Boys & Girls under 10 (Invitational), Boys & Girls Under 14, Boys & Girls Under 17, Boys & Girls Under 19, Senior Men & Women, and Veteran Men & Women with four Bow styles, namely Indian Round, Recurve Round, Compound Round, and Barebow Round.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Altogether it was great experience for the Association to have a competition with so many restrictions due to the Pandemic.  However, the success of the event can be measured by the great achievement of the archers, the support of the parents, the coaches, managers, officials, and the organisers.   To see more photos of the tournament, visit the FAAI’s Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAAI is planning to host a Field Archery Championships in the month of May in the Thane District in Maharashtra approximately 150 km from Mumbai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
