Box 271104, Salt Lake City, UT 84127-1104. At Archery Focus, we are “Focus”ed on your archery interests. Kris Facer Editor, Archery Focus Magazine SPECIAL FEATURE Archery, the Internet, and You by George Tekmitchov The Internet has long been a great source for hard-to-find information on various topics. Today, archers have literally thousands of information sources on their sport accessible with a few mouse clicks. It’s great to be able to download a picture of Justin Huish or get the IBO rules from your keyboard. But as we will see, there can be such a thing as too much information, and not all of the information available is accurate or timely. So let’s look at some ways to make the search a little easier. Archery on the Internet “lives” in two distinct areas - the World Wide Web (WWW) and the Usenet, also known as Newsgroups. While these are both part of the Internet they are vastly different in both content and presentation. Usenet, spam and you There are currently two archery related Usenet “discussion groups” on the Internet. Unlike IRC Chat or other real time chat channels on the internet, Usenet involves a participant leaving a message, often a question about something, then waiting for a few days as other readers add their input to the discussion. The two groups are in the alternative and recreational hierarchies, alt.archery and rec.sport.archery. Of the two, rec.sport.archery is the ‘official’ usenet group in the sense that it is available on many more services than the alt.archery group. The two groups largely duplicate each other, though, with rec.sport.archery items frequently cross posted to the alt.archery group and vice- versa. These groups are frequented by the full spectrum of the archery community from beginner to Olympic champions, and longbow to compound shooter. Because of this, there’s often some conflict and strong opinion expressed on these groups. Unfortunately both groups, especially alt.archery, are filled with “spam”, unsolicited advertising that has become the bane of the Net. Even worse, should you post to the groups your e-mail box is likely to become filled with “spam” within a few days. While some good information can often be found on the Usenet archery groups, they should be looked at as more entertainment than a way to get good information. The exception to this is in what is known as FAQ’s. These compilations of “Frequently Asked Questions” and answers are usually well put together and very informative for beginners. FAQ’s on subjects ranging from Kyudo to Olympic shooting appear about once a month on each group and are well worth looking at. Caught in the Web The World Wide Web’s greatest strength, and greatest weakness, is the sheer volume of available information out there. It’s easy to get lost in all that information, and hard to find specific things unless you know what you are looking for and how to look for it. That’s where search services come in handy. There is no “best” search service. For example, Alta Vista, run by Digital Equipment Corporation, is one of the most powerful search services, but input “archery” and you’ll get thousands of hits, too many to actually look at. Alta Vista becomes much more useful when you use a few tricks such as using a hyphen between key words to force the search to hit ONLY the words juxtaposed by the hyphen, e.g. Olympic-Archery will only return hits on Olympic Archery, while Olympic Archery separated by a space will return hits for Olympic and Archery separately. A highly recommended search service besides Alta Vista is Excite, which uses ‘fuzzy logic’ to find what you’re looking for. Just plug in a string of search terms, such as “Longbow Shooting in Africa” and this service will return hits along with a percent probability that the hit is what you are looking for. The key to using any search service is to learn how it works and how to frame inquiries to “separate the wheat from the chaff”. And there is LOTS of chaff out there. Fortunately, you are not limited to having to search on your own for good information on the Internet. Several archery related sites have compiled lists of good pages on archery, all connected with hyperlinks. One of my favorites is Sagittarius, run by the Sagittarius Archery Club in the Netherlands. This page contains loads of interesting information and lots of pointers to other places. Even better, the Sagittarius web site reviews these other places for content and interest level. The URL for the links page at Sagittarius is: http://snt.student.utwente.nl/~sagi/ Besides the club and individual web sites, major archery firms and organizations are getting “on the net”. Hoyt, PSE, Martin, Bear/Jennings and other manufacturers all have sites with lots of information about their products. The National Archery Association of the United States and the NFAA both have web sites, and FITA has plans for one in the future. The Internet can be a medium for archers around the world to get together and “see” what is going on, share tournament results, equipment opinions, technique, or just simply be social. With explosive growth, more and more people getting connected, and cheaper access, the Internet is here to stay, and more and more about archery will be on the Internet. But, as you surf, remember once in a while to pick up your bow, go outside, and shoot! SPECIAL FEATURE Did you Know?... by Jennifer Furrow ... the longbow only lasted as a weapon of war until 1610? The popular firearm was rising quickly so as to fade out the archery artillery. And what archer in those times didn’t want to try the newly popular weapons, have the desire to be in fashion, and going with the crowd is part of human nature.

    Sun Devil Archery at Arizona State University Risk Assessment / Safety Report Sun Devil Archery at ASU Page 1 of 42 Risk Assessment/Safety Report September 12, 2005 History of ARCHERY Archery is one of the oldest arts of ancient times which is still practiced today. From its first development until the 1500s, the bow was man's constant companion and has been the most widely used of all weapons in recorded history. The bow allowed the prehistoric human to become the most efficient hunter on earth, providing him safety, food and raw materials such as bone, sinew and hide. From that time on, archery has played an important role in many of the world's civilizations. Starting with the reign of William the Conqueror, the bow was England's principal weapon of national defense for several centuries. Around the year 1200, Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes conquered much of the known world employing short, powerful bows. For Native Americans, archery was the means of subsistence and existence during the days of English and later American colonization. Finally, after the bow's replacement by firearms as a weapon of war, archery became a favored sport, thus securing its continuous practice throughout history. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, archery's importance as a cultural advance ranks with the development of speed and the art of making fire. The use of the bow appears in folklore from over 3000 years ago, although its invention predates that era. The development of archery followed a course of key innovations by many historical cultures. About 3500 BC., Egyptians were using bows as tall as themselves.

    Traditional Archers of Oregon User Group Growth

    02 December, 2016 ODFW Commission meeting December 02, 2016 RE: Public Testimony, 2017 Big Game Regulations User group growth, Traditional Archery Chair Finley, Members of the Commission, Director Melcher, for the record, my name is Carson Brown, Secretary, TRADITIONAL ARCHERS OF OREGON (TAO). TAO continues to invest in activities where we promote and instruct traditional equipment usage for people having strong interest in shooting the long bow and recurve bow. As illustrated through TAO’s sponsorship of the OREGON ARCHERY HERITAGE MUSEUM, Oregon’s incredibly rich bowhunting heritage rivals that of any state in the United States. One of the original purposes for forming TAO was to ensure traditional equipment was not forgotten with the proliferation of modern archery - that was 1984. Over the years, you have graciously listened to our previous testimonies where TAO has related how continued adoption of mechanical and technological improvements have greatly increased advantage to the hunter and the overriding concern of our membership being continued loss of opportunity in the field. Today I am providing testimony on behalf of a TAO committee charged with the objective to further the role of Traditional Archery as a management tool that would provide opportunity while minimizing resource impact. The committee members are experienced archery hunters, with knowledge of big game regulations and Oregon archery history. The major objectives outlined by the committee: 1) Recognize and grow traditional archers as a user group and that our choice in equipment provides more opportunity with less resource impact. 2) To support that notion, add archery tackle details to the MANDATORY HUNTER REPORTING SYSTEM (DO YOU USE: ☐ COMPOUND BOW or ☐RECURVE/LONG BOW?).

    Intro to Archery

    INTRODUCTION TO ARCHERY TARGET ARCHERY This the most commonly practiced form of archery worldwide and is practiced within most Archery Australia clubs. Target tournaments are conducted regularly and held both indoors and outdoors. Shooting distances vary from 18 metres (indoor) to 90 metres (outdoor), with target sizes being 40 or 60 centimetres for indoors and either 80 or 122 centimetres for outdoors. Targets have five colours with each colour being divided into 2 to provide 10 scoring zones. The innermost ring is given a value of 10 points, down to the outermost ring with a value of 1 point. Target rounds involve shooting a set number of arrows over one or several distances. Indoor events involve shooting a total of either 30 or 60 arrows; with outdoor events shooting 72, 90, 120 or 144 arrows are shot. FIELD ARCHERY Field archery is a challenging outdoor discipline in which the archer takes on the terrain as well as the target. Field archery is a combination of archery, golf, and bush walking. A course is set up in a bush land setting taking advantage of hills, slopes, angles and light and shade. A field course is made up of either 24 or 28 targets depending on the round being shot. The archer is required to shoot either three or four arrows at each target. Distances range from 10 to 60 metres and target face sizes vary from 20 to 80 centimetres. CLOUT ARCHERY Clout archery is another popular discipline in Australia because due to its fun aspect. Clout archery is derived from medieval warfare where archers would lob arrows onto the advancing army.

    The Arrow Shafts Is Pseudosasa Japonica Or Commonly Called Japanese Arrow Bamboo

    The Japanese Arrow By Godai Katsunaga Intorduction The Ya, or arrow of Japan and was between 34 and 38 inches in length, made of fire hardened bamboo shafts and had a steel arrow head., During this period and earlier arrows used in combat were often marked to identify who owned them, this allowed samurai to get the proper credit for killing an opponent. Period Construction The bamboo used for the arrow shafts is Pseudosasa japonica or commonly called Japanese arrow bamboo. This bamboo grows in slender culms that are packed tightly together, forming a dense hedge, with large, dark green foliage. It is a tough and versatile bamboo that will thrive in shade and in sun while growing to about 15 foot tall and was common throughout Japan. Farmers and other workers harvested the bamboo in the early winter when the plants saps were down. To get the required diameter need to make arrows the plants that were between two and three years in age were preferred. After harvesting, the best bamboo was hand selected and ideally stored for about a year for drying, allowing most of the moisture in the plant material to evaporate. Preparation of each shaft included having the nodes shaved off and then softening the shaft by placing it in hot sand prior to straightening it by hand. After the shafts were straightened, they were exposed to high heat to remove any remaining moisture and harden the natural sugars, creating a stronger bond of the natural fibers; this was known as fire hardening. Fletching was done with hawk, eagle, crane or pheasant tail feathers and could be either three or four flights depending on the arrow head that would be mounted.
