Is it hard to pull a bow and arrow?
Depends on what the bow and arrows were made out of. For killing/wounding people, the bow has to be made of a strong wooden or metal material, the 'string' can either be thick thread/string or copper wire (wear gloves), the arrow's material can again be wooden or metal. The tip should be made of metal. Does more damage in my opinion; strong rock can work, too, but metal is stronger.
How do you adjust draw weight on a golden eagle bow?
Mathews SoloCam bows have 10 pound weight reduction range from your Bow's peak weight (example : if your bow has peak weight of 70 pounds, you can adjust it as low as 60 pounds).Draw weight adjustments are made using either a 3/16" or 7/32" Allen wrench. Turn the limb bolt clockwise to increase the draw weight and counterclockwise to decrease the weight. Each rotation is equivalent to 2 to 4 pounds of draw weight. It is very important to adjust the limb bolts equally but do not exceed 5 full turns out from maximum draw weight.
What was medieval archery and what was it used for?
Medieval archery was pretty simple, there was a target, made of wood or sometimes it was just a mark o a tree. The bow was carved from wood and the string was generally made from twine. the arrows were carved from wood or a extremely straight stick, the end generally had some sort of birds feathers.

Why does your arrow kick sideways when you shoot your recurve bow?
You could be plucking the bow string, make sure to shoot with your finger tips only, remain still (arms, body and head)and release the string off the tips. Your arrow rest could be protruding to much, causing the arrow to richochet off it. Your arrow could be to thin for the poundage of the bow, causing it to warp on release. Make sure that you 'nock' the arrow properly. Your arrow might not be the right spline weight for your bow.
Where did the bow and arrow originate from and who created it?
Many different cultures and peoples, widely separated and isolated, one from another, seem to have developed bows and arrows on their own, at various periods throughout history.
Nobody knows exactly where or when archery originated, but some estimates are that bows and arrows were first developed around 10,000-15,000 years ago. The oldest surviving bows and arrows have been found in Europe, but that in no way means that archery originated there. It simply means that the conditions in those particular areas are conducive to the preservation of the materials used to make the ancient weapons..
Who was the first person to win the archery gold?
Archery debuted at the 1900 Games in Paris. The International Olympic Committee recognizes official six events at those games. Unfortunately, I could not find the dates that these events were competed so I can not tell you who won the first gold medal. Gold medalists in archery at the 1900 Games are listed below. One of the five gentleman Listed was the first man to win a gold medal in archery: 1) 50 meter Au Cordon Doré - Henri Herouin, France
2) 33 meter Au Cordon Doré - Hubert van Innis, Belgium
3) 50 meter Au Chapelet - Eugene Mougin, France
4) 33 meter Au Chapelet - Hubert van Innis, Belgium
5) Sur la Perche à la Herse - Emmanuel Foulon, Belgium
6) Sur la Perche à la Pyramide - Emile Grumiaux, France

When did archery become an Olympic sport?
Archery was a sport all the way back in medieval times, and perhaps all the back in ancient times.
People trained in various ways and especially in Medieval England, laws were passed to make archery practice mandatory, so people made sports and competitive events to turn the frustrating law into something fun, there are many examples of sport types that involved archery such as:
- Standard archery rounds such as Portsmouth rounds (like you'd see on a Robin Hood movie or something similar)
- Clout shooting (shoot as close as possible to a flag off in the distance)
- Coconut shy equivalent (shooting at various small objects which simulate French heads!)
- William Tell challenge (one unfortunate soul has an apple shot off of his head!)
- Splitting the wand (a broomstick size pole in the ground has to be shot at and split, this is harder than it sounds)
- Flight shooting (shoot as far as possible, simple as that)
- Hunting challenges (this one is more of a guess, but it is quite easy to imagine happening)
... And a few more I cannot remember.
The point is, archery has been a sport for a very long time, and I didn't even mention before that the Greeks probably had archery as an Olympic event, since they invented it, and archery usage was common practice back then as well.
(NOTE: I am a real archer and I am an expert on the subject)

For practical purposes, yes, a crossbow is really a bow. It uses a short arrow, technically called a bolt, by means of the spring action caused by releasing the tension on the crossbow's limbs. The "bow" of the crossbow is called a "prod".
It differs from a traditional bow however, in that it can be drawn before it is needed and kept ready to use for a considerable period of time. Holding a "regular" bow, such as a self-bow, longbow, recurve, or compound bow at full draw for any length of time may not be feasible, depending on draw weight. Traditional bows (recurves, longbows, etc), unlike modern compound bows, often do not have sights while modern crossbows do; this, coupled with the fact that it doesn't cause a lot of strain on the shooter to hold the crossbow at a full draw, makes it easier for an unskilled individual to use the weapon. The crossbow can be cocked either manually by simply pulling the string back, or by mechanical means - which means handicapped persons can use crossbows in those states which allow their use. Most crossbows sold today have about the same arrow speed as compounds: about 330 - 350 ft/sec.
While the crossbow is a bow, it offers a great advantage over Traditional bows. It should also be noted, so does the modern compound bow. In the 1970's there was a debate whether or not compound bows should be allowed for hunting. State-by-State, compound bows were allowed, and today more than 80% of all bow hunters use compound bows; this is an approximation, of course, as the use of Traditional bows (and arrows) has been increasing. Overall, the acceptance of compounds has been good for archery. Now with more and more crossbows being sold, crossbow hunters are asking why they can not also be included in the archery season, because compounds and crossbows have such similar performance.
The answer to that question is that the modern crossbow is so easy to use; some claim that it is more like using a rifle than a bow. Modern crossbows tend to incorporate the camming (the "wheels" at the ends of the bow-limbs) which makes the compound bow easier to use than Traditional bows.
The Chinese developed a repeating crossbow, where a new bolt would drop onto the rails of the crossbow each time the string (called a "cable", due to its thickness) was pulled back to the "ready" position (cocked, ready to use). The real trick would be to keep the bolt-hopper loaded - and have each bolt facing the correct direction in the hopper.
During the Middle Ages, the crossbow was taken to sometimes extreme designs. Weapons such as the Arbalest and the ballista are basically over-sized crossbows. Of course, crossbows were also slightly simpler in design back then; see the weblink ("Torneo della Balestra") under "Related Links" for some photos of (possibly)the oldest-surviving Crossbow Society in the Modern World.
Persons interested in hunting with (modern)crossbows should contact The American Crossbow Federation, Box 251, Glenwood, MN 56334
They were typically made from a wooden stock, which was afixted to one of three different bows. the earliest bows for crossbows were called self-bows and were simply wooden bows attached to the stock. After that, the saracens developed making a crossbow with a composite bow made from a combination of horn and wood. Finally, the bows were made out of steel.

Can you still use archery equipment while on felony probation?
That depends on state law, doesn't it? In Georgia it's not a "crime" for a person on probation to have archery equipment, but it MIGHT BE a violation of the terms and conditions of their probation. Just like an adult over 21 drinking beer or hanging around a bar-- it's not illegal, but it probably is a violation of probation that can get the person in trouble with the probation officer and the judge that imposed the probation as part of the sentence.
If you're on probation and a term of your probation is "no weapons" then I'd say to stay away from bows and arrows too. They are probably considered weapons even if you only intend to use them for the sport of target practice.
Where was the longest arrow shot by a recurve bow?

Cate Archer is a character in 'No-one Lives Forever' 1 and 2. Sshe is a spy in h.a.r.m.s way, if you want to check it out go on you tube and type nolf 1 or 2. Nolf is a small sentence for no one lives forever, so go on youtube and type nolf 1 all cutscenes, then watch all the cut scenes, then type nolf 2 all cutscenes and you will then know what nolf is all about ! now in nolf 1, Cate Archer was 27, in nolf 2 she is 28, so if there was a nolf 3 in 2010 then she would probably have been 36 by now ! So sad though, I wish she was still 27 !
