Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, Jenks, Oklahoma In this paper we review the history and development of bowfishing, provide a case study of a high-profile bowfishing tournament in Oklahoma, survey and summarize management of the sport in all 50 states, and provide scientifically-based approaches for its management. Bowfishing has a distinct niche in the evolution of the bow and arrow and in fishing, as one of several methods practiced by many and scattered indigenous cultures worldwide. In the past century, advances in technology, including the development of the compound bow, custom boat and lighting systems for night bowfishing, and improved information transfer have opened the sport to many people previously unable to participate in the sport at a satisfying level.

  • Archery Study Guide HISTORY
    Archery Study Guide HISTORY The origin of archery is unknown; however, archery has been an activity with varied objectives for human beings since the beginning of recorded history. The successful use of archery skills by primitive people literally meant survival for them by providing food. Skilled archers through the ages were able to win battles, and that changed the course of history for many nations. In contemporary society, target archery is considered a challenging sport for the competitor who places value on the pursuit of excellence. The oldest tournament on record is the Ancient Scorton Silver Arrow Contest in Yorkshire, held every year since 1673, excluding the 2 World Wars. The National Archery Association (NAA) is the governing body of target archery, founded in 1879. The National Field Archery Association (NFAA) was established in 1936, sets rules and regulations governing field archery competition. Archery first appeared as a sport in the 1900 Olympics Games in Paris and was held at the Games of 1904, 1908 and 1920. However, international rules had not yet been developed and each host country used its own format. As a result, archery events in these early Olympic Games varied widely. Because of the lack of uniform international rules archery was then dropped from the Olympic Games. Target archery was adopted back into the Olympics in 1972 There are four archery events held at the Olympics: Men's Individual, Women's Individual, Men's Team and Women's Team. Archers used to shoot a double FITA round of 288 total arrows, with the championship decided by the highest total score.

  • String Making
    STRING MAKING Introduction Bow strings are probably the easiest thing that can be manufactured or customised for a bow. The most commonly used string is the continuous loop that most people are using for recurve and compound bows. There are other types, one of which is called "Flemish Twist" (usually used on traditional longbows, and for now that's where we will leave it) We will only concentrate on the former. Following are a few things that you will need to get started: 1. String Material The type of bowstring material that you use is entirely up to you. But please make sure that your bow is designed to take the bow string that you are about to use. Most older bows with wood or wood/glass limbs are not designed to take the performance strings such as Fast Flight, BCY 450, etc and Dacron is the preferred choice for these older or lightly constructed recurve bows. Dacron is also used for compound bows where the cables are still made of steel. Kevlar although well known as a bow string material is generally no longer in use and is not now recommended. Fast Flight and it's equivalents are a must for today's high performing recurve bows and for the string and cable systems of nearly all compound bows. Besides getting your preferred bow string material, It is strongly recommend to get some Dacron string material for practice purposes. Dacron strings are relatively cheap compared to other string materials and can be used to make your first practice strings.

    ?WMRK XLI /RKPMWL PSRKFS[ + VGLIVW HY 1IRIZSMW www.toxophilus.org Security when shooting a bow Archery is a potentially dangerous sport which must only be carried out in an appropriate place reserved for such activity with correct supervision. We decline all responsibility for damage and/or accidents which occur as a result of putting any of the activities described in this tutorial into practice. Shooting line When shooting in a group, it is important that all archers remain behind (or astride in the case of a competition) a visible (or imaginary) line while arrows are being shot. Crossing the line towards the targets during shooting is not only dangerous but is sanctioned by immediate disqualification during competitions. Spectators must, under no circumstances, be allowed to stand between the archer and the target even if they are outside the shooting angle. R etrieving arrows from the target The basic rule is to wait for the last archer to shoot his or her last arrow before advancing to collect one’s own arrows from the target. However, if the order “fast” is given, all archers must immediately stop shooting. The signal that indicates that all is clear to cross the shooting line is when a designated person shouts the order: “Arrows” (or a word such as “score” or “pull”). A rm ing a bow Never arm a bow or even place (nock) the arrow onto the bowstring if the bow is not pointed at the target. All archers must be aware that an arrow can be loosed accidentally before it is correctly aimed.
