Archery Equipment – A Few Basic Terms

Archery has become a very popular sport, and with a little understanding of a few basic terms, you should be able to get started in this great sport. Here are a few basic terms to help you get started in archery.

Adjusting draw weight – Draw weight is the peak amount that you pull back when you draw the bow. Draw weights on bows are adjustable on average 15 pounds down from the maximum weight on the bow. To adjust the draw weight you simply turn the two bolts on the limbs exactly the same clockwise for more weight and counter-clockwise for less weight (never turn the limb bolts out further then described in the bows manual). Here are some references to help determine how much weight you might pull and how to pick a weight if this is the first bow that you are buying.

Draw Length – Draw length is the most important part of the bow setup. Without correct draw length the shooter will be inconsistent or uncomfortable with his or her bow. Here is how to determine correct draw length. Stand naturally (don’t stretch) with your arms out and palms facing forward. Then simply measure from the tip of one middle finger to the tip of the other across your back (its easier to have someone help). Once you have that number , divide it by 2.5. If you shoot a release off the string, this is your draw length. For shooters that wish to shoot a string loop, add 1/2″ to that number. If you want to  shoot wih fingers, add 1.5″. If you come up with a number that is not an even number for length then round down. This will make it more comfortable and easier to shoot.

Measuring Arrow Length – Correct arrow length is measured from the bottom of the nock groove to the end of the shaft This distance includes a portion of the nock, the nock insert or outsert if any, and the shaft length. The point is not included. This is the length used for shaft selection.

Archery – Bowhunting Turkeys

For many of us, opening day of Spring turkey season finds our birds still “bunched up” and just starting to break out of their Winter flocks. There are a couple of good things about this: 1 – if you can find one of these big flocks, you are going to be treated to quite a show! It’s not uncommon to see multiple mature Toms strutting, gobbling, and even fighting as they start to establish dominance around dozens of hens. And, 2 – multiple gobblers means multiple opportunities.

 Obviously, the bad thing about hunting big flocks of turkeys is, well… you’re hunting a big flock of turkeys! It doesn’t matter how good your call sounds, chances are you are not going to call a Gobbler away from 40 or 50 hens. I like to hunt these early season birds with the same mentality that I use for deer season. Scout, scout, and scout some more. Once I’ve found a flock of birds, I try to be there at fly-down time every single morning for at least 2 weeks before season opens. If you have the opportunity to watch some turkeys day-in and day-out like this, I think you’ll find that often, they are fairly easy to pattern. Even though they may roost in different spots and rarely travel the exact same path 2 days in a row, they normally will end up in the same general area every morning. So like the saying goes, “don’t hunt ‘em where they are, hunt ‘em where they’re going to be”. For this type of hunt, I almost always use a portable blind.

In my opinion there is no better way to kill a turkey with archery gear than using a pop-up blind. Once I’ve patterned my birds, I like to set a blind up a day or two before season. I really only do this out of convenience, there is no need let the birds “get used to the blind” or “brush it in”. More often than not, I’ll set my turkey blind in the middle of an open field, with no cover around what so ever. It’s funny how a turkey will walk right past a blind that was not there the day before, without ever even giving it a second look – very different from deer! Once you’ve got your blind set, it’s really just a waiting game. Again, think of it more like deer hunting – sit back, call a little, and let the birds come to you. If your patient and you have done your homework, I think you’ll find this to be a fun and successful way of hunting early season gobblers!

History of the Olympic’s archery disipline?

What is the history of this discipline? What are the rules? what are the records? which countries participated this year?

Intorduced back in 1900, it was in the Olympics until the 1920 Olympiad. But then it was deemed to be not suited for the Olympics, because of a lack of governing body. Back then each country in the world use their own format for archery. There is no single format and set of rules used for archery. FITA was then formed and the FITA format adopted by all nations. 52 years later archery came back to the Olympics, 1972 Munich games.

It used the double FITA format, 288 arrows shot at 4 distances. They were shot in 2 sets of 144 arrows (single FITA), consisting of 4 rounds of 36 arrows. The distances were 90m, 70m, 50m and 30m for men and 70m, 60m, 50m, and 30m for women. The two longer distances use the larger 122cm target face and the two short distances use 80cm target face.

Rule is rather simple, people shoot based on horn blasts. You will hear these when you watch the archery matches at the Olympics. 2 blasts of the horn, the archer can approach the shooting line and nock their arrow. They will then have to wait for the next horn, they may not raise their bow arm.

1 blast of the horn, means you can begin your shot sequence.

3 blasts of the horn, means the line is clear or the time has run out. Archers shooting an arrow after the 3 blasts, will have their highest scoring arrow of that end removed and counted as a miss.

4 or more blasts means cease fire, there’s an emergency on the line.

During the long distance portion, you get 4 minutes to shoot 6 arrows, and short distances you have 2 minutes for 3 arrows.

Since the Barcelona games, this has changed. The Barcelona games adopted a new format, the Olympic Round. Everything at the Olympics since then had been shot at 70m only at the 122cm target face.

There are many records, there’s the single FITA, double FITA, 90m, 70, 60m, 50m, 30m, double 70m, 18arrow 70m, 12 arrow 70m etc. For these head on to http://www.archery.org, the website for FITA and click on records.

Some countries I know of at the 2008 Olympics, are USA, South Korea, North Korea, India, China, Indonesia, Ukraine, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia, Russia, France, Canada, Cuba, I’m sure there are many more. Iraq qualified an archer but he missed the deadline due to that fiasco with the IOC.
