  • Shooting the Longbow
    Shooting the Longbow Some coaching tips Steve Purkiss (Fox Archers) Equipment Bows Longbows, being made from wood, need to be protected from the elements. Even a “varnished” bow can let in moisture due to marks and scratches from regular use. Polish the bows with a wax polish, Danish Oil or even a smear of vaseline to help keep out the wet which can ruin your bow. Pay special attention to the area where the arrow “passes” the bow as obvious wear will take it down to exposed wood. Also keep the string waxed, most modern strings are fairly waterproof but as the string is twisted and the strands rub against each other under tension waxing helps cut down wear. Apply wax to the string and then rub with a small piece of leather this warms the wax and string and helps the wax to move between the strands. If you are used to shooting a recurve bow then you will find that the draw weight of a longbow feels different to a recurve simply due to the nature of the beast and therefore if you are used to a 30lb recurve you might find a 35lb longbow comfortable. The bracing height of the bow is the distance from the string to the belly of the bow (the part of the bow facing you when you hold it to shoot). This is often written on the bow (normally 5.5” to 6.5”) set your bow up to this height for optimum performance. Always “warm up” your bow before you shoot, this is done by rubbing the bow with a cloth and then repeatedly drawing the bow to half draw and gradually increasing to full draw either in the normal manner of by putting your foot against the grip and holding the string then you can use you foot and hand to extend the bow.

The shooting side can be selected either according to dominant eye or by dominant (preferred) hand. However the shooting side is selected, be sure that the novice can aim with the eye on that side. This means that either the eye dominance matches the shooting side, or the archer can close the non-aiming eye without interfering with the shot. In a pinch, an eye patch can be used to cover the non-aiming eye.

  • 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.
