What To Look For In An Arrow

Posted by archeryandbow on January 29, 2008

First of all, before thinking of buying archery equipment such as an arrow, you have to know first which stores to visit in order for you to get a wide array of different kinds of arrow. There are many things to consider like the arrow spine, draw length, wheels and cams, and your bow.

Arrow spine is very important since their stiffness and weakness determine the kind of shot that you would make and the best is to choose an arrow spine which is both strong yet flexible. Also, when considering the draw length, it is important to know first that this is the main ingredient that determines the minimal arrow length the archer could shoot safely. And the best draw length for beginners is one inch past the point where the arrow rest supports the arrow. Remember that because of technology advancement, there are now many developed wheels and cams for bows and changing them often may change the whole set up of the bow. And lastly, when buying an arrow, bring your bow with you so that you could even ask a professional advice from the people who are greatly experienced with this kind of sport and also, for you to have a look at what would really best suit your bow.

Archery Arrow – Shaft And Its Spine

Posted by archeryandbow on January 21, 2008

The construction of it means having a shaft to which is attached an arrowhead on the front of it while at the other side there is fletchings as well as a nock. Even the size of individual arrows varies which begins at about a foot and a half and can go all the way up and touch five feet in length. The modern day arrow is not more than a few feet in length and closely resembles those that were used during the English war and are shot from within a guide that may be fixed to the bow, or to the wrist of the archer.

The main part of the arrow is of course the shaft and they were made by tradition from bamboo, light woods and even reeds though today you will find those made from aluminum as well as artificial plastics. There is special attention paid to how stiff be the shaft, which is referred to as its spine and to get more accuracy you need to use those with the same type of spine. At the front of the shaft are the arrowhead and the type of arrowhead that is used will determine the purpose of the arrow? There are different types of arrowheads such as Bodkin points, blunts, judo points, broadheads, field tips and target points and a few more.

You will also find fletchings to the rear end of the arrow whose main purpose is to give the arrow drag and thus keep it pointed in the desired direction by not allowing it to pitch or to yaw. The fletchings generally are made from feathers, though modern day ones are made from plastic.

Another part of the arrow is known as the nock whose main use is to keep it correctly in place when drawing on the string. It is usual to have the nock being a cut in the rear end of the arrow, or sometimes a few pieces of wood or plastic may be fixed to the rear of the arrow. The modern nock as well as the Turkish nock can be made such that they curve or pinch the string to ensure that the arrow cannot slip.

The Arrow Is Today Primarily Used In Target Shooting

Posted by archeryandbow on January 14, 2008

Shooting an arrow from a bow has been an ancient practice for armies engaged in war and was also the method used by hunters to get them their next meal. That was until man invented gunpowder which then relegated archery to becoming a sport in which to shoot at targets. This means that it is now merely shooting it at a selected target that could be placed from eighteen to ninety meters away with seventy meters being the distance commonly used in Olympic Games.

Basic Archery Techniques

Posted by archeryandbow on January 10, 2008

One of the tricky aspects in archery is learning how to stand and one great tip when it comes to making your stance is to stand relaxed, make sure that your feet are parallel to the target and slightly keep them apart. Also, remember to keep a relaxed grip on the bow handle when taking an aim for your shot while keeping the right positioning of your fingers.

When preparing for the shot, raise your outstretched bow arm level with the target while keeping in mind that you have to maintain some flex in your elbow for your bow arm to not completely extend. This archery technique will help give clearance to the string on release and also, remember that a consistent arrow point is the key to accuracy. Keep the outstretched string near your eye and not at an angle for you to still have a look directly at the arrow shaft.
