The Daviess County archery program is Scholastic 3D Archery, and the athletes shoot a variety of bows ranging from traditional, Olympic recurve or basic compound bow (hunting bow).

High school archers shoot at a 20—yard distance and elementary shoot at a 10—yard distance.  During indoor, they shoot at paper targets that will either be a one spot with scoring rings or a five spot with scoring rings.

Once they turn to outdoor season, archers then shoot 3D archery, which is shooting in a realistic hunting scenario with life—like 3D animal targets that contain a scoring ring to simulate an ethical shot on an animal.
