Bhutanese archery is deeply rooted in tradition and is often a mix of competition, camaraderie, and humor.
There is a playful and sometimes provocative element where women from the opposing team engage in distractions (known as "kayyey") to throw off the archerās aim. These distractions can include taunting, dancing, teasing, and even humorous or suggestive gestures. In some anecdotes cases, women do using physical distractions, including grabbing or tugging at a man's private parts, during traditional Bhutanese archery competitions.

While this may seem unusual to outsiders, in Bhutanese culture, these distractions are often taken in good humor and are an accepted part of the game. However, such practices can vary by region and event, and not all competitions involve this level of interaction.
