What is the scoring in archery?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer is 10

The answer depends upon the type of target being used.

Some targets will score the bullseye as 10 (Vegas 5-Dot), others as 5 (5-Spot).

It has become common place for clubs to count the inner most ring of the Vegas target as an "X" which is counted separately to break ties among archers with identical scores. So it is not unusual to hear archers call an "X-Ring" shot an 11.

Who made cross bows?

Asked by Wiki User

No one really knows when the bow was invented, or where, but it's use goes back at least 30,000 years, and probably much longer.

The "Iceman" a body found frozen in the Alps, which dates back to the late Stone Age, had a bow and quiver full of arrows which were virtually identical to basic "Self" (one-piece) bows made today, so the weapon was fully developed even then. X-ray examination of the body found a flint arrowhead embedded in his shoulder, so he was shot with an arrow shortly before his death!

Is archery a part of muscular strength?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The strength required for archery depends entirely on the bow you use. Anyone can use a kid's bow with a fifteen pound pull, but it takes a fair amount of muscle to draw a 65 pound hunting bow. Most common bows these days are "compound bows" that have a heavy initial draw, but using a collection of cams and cables, the draw lightens as you reach full pull--the advantage of that is that you can keep the pull, even with a heavy bow, long enough to get a good aim without having your muscles start to shake.

Heavy bows, by the way, provide flatter trajectories for arrows, making it easier to aim them at varying distances--use the heaviest bow you can comfortably draw. There are adjustable bows that allow you to increase the draw weight as you get stronger.

What is the name of an arrow maker?

Asked by Wiki User

i think its Fletching, though that could just be the part of adding feathers to stabilise the arrow, like in darts...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletching

There is not really a specific term for creating arrows. Arrow building is the most specific I have heard. Fletching as a noun means the section of the arrow that stabilizes it. Fletching as a verb it the act of putting either feathers or vanes on the arrow.

Do you leave a compound bow unstrung when done shooting?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I keep my bows strung if I'm shooting them regularly, but I un-string them if it's going to be more than a few days idle. Just remember to check your brace height when you restring and shoot a few times.I would not advise using oil of any kind on your bow. A good rub down with a clean terry cloth towel is all I ever do. But I would defer to the maufacturers recommendations on that topic. Use bees wax on your string. Martins make nice traditional bows good luck and have fun!

How do you adjust the draw weight for a jennings forked lightining compound bow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The draw weight should be marked on the bow. You cannot go any higher than the marked draw weight unless your bow has removable limbs, then you could buy limbs with a higher draw weight. You will ruin the bow if you use it with a higher draw rate.

Who is the richest sports man of all time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As of my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021, the richest sportsman in the world was Conor McGregor, an Irish mixed martial artist and boxer. According to Forbes, McGregor earned a total of $180 million in the previous year, primarily due to his highly publicized boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017, as well as his various business ventures including his whiskey brand Proper No. Twelve. However, it's possible that this has changed since my knowledge cutoff, as athlete's earnings can fluctuate due to various factors such as performance, endorsements, and business ventures.
