The Councilor for Sports, Irene Jódar, has informed the mayor of Tourism, Francisco Morales, and the president of the Archery Club (Arcolorca), Ana Cano of the celebration next Saturday, February 22 of the first day of the National League of Archery in the field discipline.
The mayor of Sports explained that "this sporting event consists of a circuit of 24 targets (it is a tour of the Fortress of the Sun), in which archers must throw 12 targets set at known distances, and another 12 targets at distances unknown, "and noted that" places Lorca on the national sports map as it is the first of the four runs of the Archery League, which are held this season in Spain. In addition, the field discipline is the more complete than there is, because in addition to throwing well and being precise in the targets, it combines the physical strength for the route and a practical knowledge about the calculation of distances.We are very happy for this bet, since in this competition there is a maximum of 104 participants, four archers per target, and the poster has been hung up completely, it is the first time in Spain that happens in a field competition. "
In addition, Jódar Pérez has indicated that this event will feature "the best archers of all modalities, national podiums, two world champions, figures such as Encarna Garrido, with an international record, and of course with the president of ArcoLorca, Ana Cano, who was recently proclaimed runner-up of Spain in the modality of Bare Bow ".
The Councilor for Tourism, Francisco Morales has highlighted "that the organization of such events in the city, places Lorca on the national map and energizes the tourism sector. Let's not forget that it is done in an attractive and spectacular environment such as the Castle from Lorca and I know that already in 2017, when the National Bow Championship was held in Field mode, people were surprised by the place, so we have opted again to do so in this fortress of cultural interest where there will be interior shots, exterior, with a lot of combination of target positions. In short, a totally different circuit, which combines construction and field, and also offers spectacular views. "
For all these reasons, Morales has informed that "on the occasion of the National Archery League, the frequency of special visits to the Synagogue will be extended, which will take place every half from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4.30pm to 6pm at its usual price of € 4, being a good opportunity for visitors and Lorca to know the latest news and findings around this monument. "
For its part, the president of the Archery Club (Arcolorca), Ana Cano, explained that "the discipline of Field is the most complicated of all, because the archer faces multiple possibilities. You can find targets in which you have to pull up, others down, some in shadow others with a lot of light or sun in front, to which is added the ignorance of the distance to which it points in the middle of the targets. The archer's skill should no longer be only in precision, having a refined technique, but it requires physical conditions that are not necessary in the disciplines of Room or Outdoors and a practical knowledge about the calculation of distances.The Field discipline is the only one in which they can participate the 5 arc modalities recognized by the National Federation: Long Bow Arch, Instinctive Recurve Bow, Nude Bow, Olympic Recurve Bow and Compound Bow.The score obtained in this competition will be valid for the assessment.
