ARCHERYBy Clayton Richards

Couple of things about Archery

Archery is a sport of pull, hold, focus, and aim.You have a big target about 10 metres in front of you with 2 sets of 5 colours.

The TargetOn the target, there are 2 sets of each colour (5)The white represents 1 and 2, the black represents 3 and 4, the blue represents 5 and 6, the red represents 7 and 8 and the yellow represents 9 and 10. Whoever has highest score at the end of 3 rounds is the winner.

Types of BowsThere are a total of 7 different types of bows.Recurve Bow: Often used in the Olympics, this bow has a curve at the tips of the bow and is a great beginners bow.Reflex Bow: Sometimes confused with the recurve, the reflex bow curves completely away from the archer when unstrung.Self bow: This bow is just made from wood and is straight.Straight Bow: Nearly completely straight, made of laminated fiberglass or carbon.Longbow: Very similar to its medieval ancestors, they are made from wood and have a sight/aim and is of course, long.Composite Bow: This bow is made out of more than one material, usually a wooden core, molded fiberglass or carbon, then laminatedCompound Bow: Not unlike the recurve, except for pullys that aid in efficiency and adjustable limbs.
