  • 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.

  • CHOOSING ARROWS for YOUR NEW LONGBOW Joe Vardon
    CHOOSING ARROWS FOR YOUR NEW LONGBOW Joe Vardon WHAT LONGBOW? I am confining the following remarks to “American flatbows”, (referred to in Australia as “longbows”). This is a composite timber/fibreglass bow whose limbs are wider than they are thick and which is widest at the riser. They have an arrow shelf cut into the riser which must not exceed 3/8” deep. This means that the arrow needs to curve around the riser on release and therefore the spine (stiffness) of the arrow is important in getting sufficient clearance and a good flight. ARROW MATERIALS Aluminium or wooden arrows are first choice for longbows. Carbon and carbon/aluminium are generally too stiff and are designed for bows cut to centre-shot or very close to it, as well as being rather expensive for the mortality rate of arrows shot from a longbow! Archery Australia rules currently allow aluminium arrows for all events (target, field, clout and indoor), however FITA or ABA (Australian Bowhunting Association) rules require wooden arrows. Wooden arrows need to match in weight and spine (stiffness) and, although you only need three arrows, keeping a matched set with some reliable spares can be difficult. Some purists insist on shooting wooden arrows from a longbow at all times. Good luck to them, I can see their point of view but I find life is a bit short. Aluminium arrows are branded with a 4-digit code and an alloy identification • Size: 4 digit code – the first two are the outside diameter (OD) in sixty-fourths of an inch.

    ?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.

    **SEE NEXT PAGE FOR SPINE CHARTS** **SEE NEXT PAGE FOR SPINE CHARTS** ASK THE EXPERTS 260.587.9501 NEED HELP? START HERE HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT SPINE FOR YOU Our Spine Selection Charts are a great starting point, BUT it is only a reference point, not guaranteed to be an EXACT match for your bow. Test kits are highly recommended. • STEP 1: Find your Arrow Length and Draw Length. The Correct Arrow Length is best determined by drawing back an extra-long arrow (draw check arrow below) to full draw and having someone mark the arrow right in front of the handle. Measure the arrow from the mark to the valley (deepest part) of the nock groove. This is your DRAW Length. For ARROW length we recommend adding 1 or 2 inches to this measurement so your broadhead will not bump the bow shelf. For target archery this is not as important, but be sure to leave enough arrow so it does not come off the inside of the bow shelf. • STEP 2: Determining Actual Peak Bow Weight This is measured at your draw length, not by what the bow has written on it. The reason is a bow will be roughly 2-3# different for every inch +/- the rated draw length. Even if you draw at your bow's rated draw (normally 28") the industry standard allows a bow manufacturer to be ±2# from rated bow weight and still mark/sell at the rated weight. So your marked 45# @ 28" bow could actually be 47# @ 28". Using an accurate scale, see page 52, draw the string until you hit your draw length and hold.

  • English Longbow Testing Against Various Armor Circa 1400
    English Longbow Testing against various armor circa 1400 By Matheus Bane January 2006 2/28 Thesis Throughout all my research on archery and armour, one detail seems to vary from expert to ex- pert. This detail is the effectiveness of armour against archery. From one source to another, the conclusions (almost always stated as fact) are wildly different. For example, a website by the BBC states that: “In tests against a steel breastplate, a bodkin-tipped arrow would dent the armour at 260ft, puncture it at 98ft, and penetrate right through plate and underlying dou- blet coat to the flesh at 65ft.” (Channel 4) Although a seemingly trustworthy source, there is no detail given about the elements used. An- other source states; “an arrowhead, on the other hand, would only need to deliver 120 Joules to pierce the mail and padding underneath. An archer would find this difficult” (Williams) Dr Williams very clearly details all his methods and elements but fails to consider that mail is flexible and could still kill a person without penetration. This mass weapon effect has never been considered in any testing that I have come across. These type of inconsistencies have been the fuel for debate for as long as I have been in the re- search communities for archery and armour. During these debates, I have always had my own opinion but never felt qualified to interject since I could not back it up. Unfortunately, most people in these debates are stating opinion or quoting some statement by some expert that was stating an opinion.

    www.TwinCoastArchers.com Archery Help TRADITIONAL BOW GUIDE Once upon a time, traditional archery was just called archery. Through years of innovation and development, bow technology has evolved, not just into a more advanced form, but into a whole new species.

As such, traditional shooting has grown tremendously over the last decade and continues to become more popular year after year. Are you ready for the challenge? The first decision you need to make is simply, "What kind of bow do I wish to shoot?". There are two primary classes of traditional bow: • The Longbow • The Recurve Bow The longbow is where the history of archery begins. Originally, archery wasn't only a sport, it was a way of life and a means by which to provide for one's family. Though today's designs have many improvements to provide better arrow speed, durability, and comfort, the design basics of the longbow are pretty much the same as they were 11,000 years ago: the stick and the string. Historically, a fine bow was among a person's most treasured possessions. Many kings were entombed with their bows. The Martin "Savannah” Longbow is an excellent example of a simple yet functional longbow design. The modern longbow comes in three basic variations: • The basic "Stick Bow" made of a single piece of wood with round or triangular cross- section limbs, which are thick and fairly narrow. • The rectangular cross-section laminate bow, composed of many layers of different materials each chosen and positioned based the material's specific properties.

  • A History of Archery, from the National Archery Association: Archery Is One of the Oldest Arts of Ancient Times Which Is Still Practiced Today
    A History Of Archery, From The National Archery Association: 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 probably 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. Their arrowheads, originally constructed of flint, were later made of bronze.
