The Competitive Archer by Simon Needham, Paperback | Barnes & Noble® Modern competitive archery involves shooting arrows at a target for accuracy and precision from a set distance or distances. This is the most popular form of competitive archery worldwide and is called target archery. The Competitive Archer form particularly popular in Europe and America is field archeryshot at targets generally set at various distances in a wooded setting. There are also several other lesser-known and historical forms, as well as archery novelty games. Various other large organizations exist with different rules. Olympic rules are derived from WA rules. Target archery competitions may be held indoors or outdoors. Competition is divided into ends of 3 or 6 arrows. After each end, the competitors walk to the target to score and retrieve their arrows. Archers have a set time limit in which to shoot their arrows. Targets are marked with 10 evenly spaced concentric rings, which have score values from 1 through 10 assigned The Competitive Archer them. In addition, there is an inner 10 ring, sometimes called the X ring. This becomes the 10 ring at indoor compound competitions. Outdoors, it serves as a tiebreaker with the archer scoring the most X's winning. Archers score each The Competitive Archer by summing the scores for their arrows. Line breakers, an arrow just touching a scoring boundary line, will be awarded the higher score. In the past, most targets in competitive archery use The Competitive Archer kind of stalks of grain or grass and may be constructed of marsh grass woven into a rope then wrapped around into a target. However, in modern times, most archery targets are made of synthetic foam, or woven plastic bags stuffed with cloth. Different rounds and distances use different size target faces. Field archery involves shooting at targets of varying and sometimes unmarked distance, often in rough terrain. Three common types of rounds in the NFAA are the field, hunter, and animal. A round consists of 28 targets in two The Competitive Archer of 14 until the early 60's two rounds of 28 were The Competitive Archer for 56 targets. Animal rounds use life-size 2D animal targets with 'uneven' distances reminiscent of the hunter round. The rules and scoring are also significantly different. The archer begins at the first station of the target and shoot their first arrow. If it hits, they do not have to shoot again. If it misses, they advance to station two and shoots a second arrow, then to station three for a third if needed. Scoring The Competitive Archer are vital 20, 16, or 12 and nonvital 18, 14, or 10 with points awarded depending on which arrow scored first. Again, children and youth shoot from reduced range. One goal of field archery is to improve the technique required The Competitive Archer bowhunting in a more realistic outdoor setting, but without introducing the complication and guesswork of unknown distances. As with golffatigue can be an issue as the athlete walks the The Competitive Archer between targets across sometimes rough terrain. The following are listed on the WA website. These competitions are not as popular as the two listed above, but they are competed internationally. It is most common to see unmarked distances in 3D archery, as the goal is to accurately recreate a hunting environment for competition. Though the goal is hunting practice, hunting broadheads are not used, as they would tear up the foam targets too much. Normal target or field tips, of the same weight as the intended broadhead, are used instead. In the past 10 years 3D archery has taken new light with a competitive edge. There is a whole new group of competitions that are no longer considered hunting practice. Competitions are held in many U. Some competitors will travel thousands of miles kilometers a year to compete to try and claim the world title in 3D archery. This competitive style has been growing in many other countries and should continue with strong support for many years to come. They each have The Competitive Archer rules and scoring methods. They host a number of competitive shoots across the Eastern United States. There are several The Competitive Archer in each organization that range from hunter all the way up to professional classes. Each class shoots at maximum yardages that vary by class. Similar to target archery, except that the archer attempts to drop arrows at long range yards or metres for the men and yards or metres for women; there are shorter distances for juniors depending on age into a group of concentric circular scoring zones on the ground surrounding a marker flag. The flag should be as near to the ground The Competitive Archer is practicable. Archers shoot 'ends' of six arrows then, when given the signal to do so, archers proceed to the target area. A Clout round usually consists of 36 arrows. Clout tournaments are usually a 'Double Clout' round The Competitive Archer arrows shot twice. They can be shot in one direction one way or both directions two way. All bow types may compete longbows, recurve, barebow The Competitive Archer compound. Since then the sport has become the most popular, in terms of worldwide activity, of the IAU's three target crossbow disciplines. A feature of this sport The Competitive Archer that many crossbow archers make their own equipment. By following the detailed guidelines issued by the IAU's Technical Committee it is possible to construct a field crossbow from locally available archery materials and target shooting accessories. The IAU's Field regulations call for the wearing of light-weight sports clothing, thereby eliminating the need for specialized and costly shooting clothing. Shooting takes place on open sports fields or in sports halls using portable archery target buttresses, once again avoiding the need for the The Competitive Archer of permanent shooting ranges subject to IAU and local safety regulations being met.

  • ARCHERY 101 FUNDAMENTALS of ARCHERY During the Course the Instructor Will Review, Archery Safety, Shooting Form, and Types of Equipment
    2012 ARCHERY 101 FUNDAMENTALS OF ARCHERY During the course the Instructor will review, archery safety, shooting form, and types of equipment. Archery 101 Page 1 Texas Archery Academy www.texasarcheryacademy.org Archery 101 Course Curriculum This Archery 101 course consists of four sessions, each being one hour. Archery 101 introduces archery safety, shooting form, archery styles, equipment and scoring rules. Each session offers “show and tell” discussion for fundamental archery education. The majority of each class is just a lot of FUN shooting, but with structured drills and practice, along with skills. Students learn a neutral style of archery that builds the basics of a solid shooting form. Easy to use equipment allows skill progress, without emphasis on strength or gender. The program curriculum uses the JOAD/AAA training and awards system, a nationally recognized archery program developed by USA Archery and the international FITA “Feathers and Arrows” archery education program. This combination is the first step in a “black belt” style, self-paced, achievement program in target archery. Regular group classes combine fundamental archery education curriculum and shooting skill development. Along the way to completion, the archer will achieve three award pin levels: Green, Purple and Gray. Each has a shooting proficiency test and education curriculum. Page 1 Texas Archery Academy www.texasarcheryacademy.org Archery 101 Introduction Welcome to Archery! Through the ages, this primitive weapon has fed families, conquered civilizations, and provided a wonderful source of recreation. As a martial art, archery helps build self-confidence and control. As a sport, it ranks with golf as a challenge to building individual skill.
