Archery Techniques and Equipment

Archery Techniques and Equipment:

 

Archery and the techniques behind it are a passionating device. Theoretically modern archery equipment can be made from accuracy and a safety aspect. From bows and arrows to crossbows, Fingerguards there is no doubt that archery has came along way. From equipment from the past to the modern day archery has something for everyone, Beginner to expert.

 

In todays equipment, We probably see a lot of stuff that would be different to the archer of old.

 

Let us first take a look at the bow as an archers equipment piece. The bow itself cannot be judged by a novice by its appearance alone, It must be looked at from all aspects. It must be looked at from many in dices, A smooth bow, That looks to be conventionally shaped, Highly polished and spiffy, It may have everything wrong with it and still look good. If your not familiar with bows, Your not going to know if its a good bow or not. In this instance you should probably seek out the help of a professional, Someone who knows what archery equipment should handle like. You may be able to liberally judge some archery equipment by simply seeking out some adverts from various archery equipment manufactures. You however should seek the advice of an experienced Archer. They will be able to guide you to the best for your beginning en devours.

 

A little about the Bow itself:

 

1. The Back – Should be flat from in cross-section, But convex from end to end of your bow. It is held in shooting so it will face your target.

2. The Belly – It is either rounded (In case of old style bows) or will be flat (As is usual in newer modern bows), It is held while shooting and it faces the archer.

3. The Handle – is usually about four inches of the mid-section of your bow and should be very rigid. This should show a portion or type of rigid material. Leather is a material that has been used for a long time. Some archers bind this section with fishing line, You may also see that sheet cork has become a popular covering.

4. The Arms and Limbs – these tend to taper from the handle to tip very rapidly at first, Then much more gradual till they get to around ½ inch in diameter where they enter the toward horn tips.

   A. The Upper arm usually forms the upper end of your bow, It can be slightly longer than the lower arm. B. The Lower arm usually forms the lower end of your bow.

5. The Nock – This is a notch which will hold the string at each end of your bow. It could possibly be cut into the wood or it may be cut into cow-horn tips, Which are usually glued to the ends. These cow-horn tips, These are merely just ornamental devices, These add nothing to the efficiency of the bow itself. But if these are large and bulky, They can greatly harm the efficiency of the bow itself. These usually also add to the cost of the bow, Most better bows will have these features. The Nock, Should be smooth, There should not be any sharp corners, These can cut the string from the bow.

6. The Arrow plate – This is a small piece, Usually with a hard substance. Can be horn,fiber,mother-of-pearl, Usually inlaid at the arrow side of the bow right above the handle. This as well is more decorative than would be useful, Since there is not a great deal of wear from the actual arrow. This brings recognition of the upper arm of the bow.

7. The String – is usually made of linen, or today this is usually made of a synthetic medium, such as the Dacron B-50, It may also be made in one of two ways. (a) a loop at each end, or (b) a loop at one end and plain at the other, So it may be tied into a timber-hitch so that it fits into the length of the bow.

ARCHERY FOR BEGINNERS !?

Hi, the name is Don. How are u guys doing ?
First, I just want to make things clear that I’m a newbie in archery. I and my friend really want to try it. There are questions I really need your helps with.

1/ I heard that recurve bow is good for beginners. Also, the seller told me that I don’t need to measure my pull on recurves, that only for compound bows. Is that true ? why ?

2/ What exactly basic equipments must we need ? and the estimate prices ?

3/ We’re living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Are there any archery ranges around except for Hart House at UofT and Ontario Science Centre ?

4/If there are no places else, can we set up our own pratice range ?

5/How big does it need to be ?

6/Do we need permission from the police before we can set up our own practice range ?

I knew there are lots of questions. Thank you very much for your helps. Regards.

I can’t really answer your recurve bow question, as I have a compound bow. I’m also new at it but its not so hard to pick up. I got my left handed compound (I’m right handed and have no problem with it) fully loaded (red dot sights, 3 arrows w/blunt tips, and quiver), brand new, off Ebay for around $115 S&H included.
The equipment you need is minimal right now since you’re just starting out. You’ll need a few arrow shafts and some blunt tips, plus a bale of hay w/ a target painted on it. It only needs to be big enough for you to aim at and hit. You can adjust the distance between you and the target. I live in the states so I’m not too sure about regulations in your area. As long as you make sure there are no kids or pets running through our shooting area you should be fine. It might be best to set up your target in front of a building in case you shoot over the target so the arrow doesn’t go wild.
Maybe someone else will have more answers. Good luck!
