Barebow archery means without sights, stabilizer or other supplementary aids.
A field archery tournament contains 24 targets in open territory in different distances.
The course normally runs over several kilometers in woods, over open fields, up and down (topography permitting).
Within four minutes three arrows have to be shot at the target.
The distance to the targets vary between 5 and 50 meters.(only Barebow!)
Each year there are tournaments all over Germany and all over the globe. Every second year world championships are to be held.

The last world championship took part in Göteborg (Sweden) from August 27th to 2th September 2006.

The world championship 2008 will be held in Liwynypia, Wales, GB, from 1.-6. September. Monika Jentges has won the Broncemedaille Team Women!

Since 1979, I have been devoted to the pursuit of Archery. I am no longer active in the sport myself but I still work with and keep in touch with many of my archery students. Monika Jentges, one of them just won the gold medal 2004 in the Ladies Blank Archery competition, and the Goldmedal 2005 at the Worldgames in Duisburg/Mülheim, Germany!

am especially proud of this accomplishment as it marks the culmination of our many years of working together.

Monika Jentges is at the present time Germany's most successful woman archer in the Ladies Blank division.
