The Longbow
 

Longbows have been around for a long, long time and are one of the simplest bows that are available today. These bow were used mainly for hunting and in military campaigns. Usually the length of a longbow will be about as tall as the person using it. The do not give a large recurve like the recurve bow and from the side they look like the letter "D" in the alphabet.

Most often longbows are made from a single piece of yew wood, which is a soft wood that can easily be damaged or marked. What you will find when looking for a longbow is that each one has a distinct feel and although two models may look quite similar, they will shoot differently. Look for a longbow that is lightweight and don't let it's nimble look fool you as these bows are powerful.

A longbow for men should have a draw weight of about 30 to 50 pounds, while women will want to look for a 20 to 35 pound draw weight.

You can purchase Longbows from many different sport and hunting stores but if you really want the ideal longbow that's going to be perfect for you, consider having one custom made. If you're a serious archer, you shouldn't mind paying the extra money to get a longbow bow from quality materials and by a professional.

Archery And Bows

Filed under: Archery — Tags: , , , , , , — admin4 @ 11:00 am November 19, 2011

Archery Compound BowArchery LongbowArchery Crossbow
Archery is a sport you can take up at any age, and it is great fun, as long as you can hold a bow, you can fire an arrow. It’s a sport for all and you can join a club from the age of 8 – 80 years, yes there are still archers shooting in their 80s.

Archery is one of the oldest sports known to the human race and was regarded by many cultures as an art. You may have noticed that it figures repeatedly in Roman and Greek mythology.

It’s a great activity for developing self confidence and is fast becoming a popular team building activity that anyone can have a go at.

It’s a very active sport both in competition and as a hobby but it really is a sport of skill, not strength.

Why- because it relies heavily on good technique rather than brute force, or sheer speed and therefore is equally suited to both sexes.

I have always considered archery as an individual sport, by that I mean you are always competing against yourself, to improve your own performance.

Field archery is the closest we get to hunting with a bow and arrow. This is a challenging outdoor discipline in which the archer takes on the terrain as well as the target.  It involves shooting at targets of varying (and often unmarked) distance, often in woodland and rough terrain.

Have A Look At This Longbow Ace Archer Shooting Awesome Aerial Targets On Video

In contrast to this, archery competitions are shot indoors at World level and it is one of the few sports that allow disabled sportsmen and women the opportunity to compete on equal terms with able-bodied shooters.

Archery kits are a great way to introduce the sport without a big expense.  It’s a sport that suits everybody, young and old, males and females.

You will probably be aware that there are several different types of bows that can be used in archery such as the recurve bow, longbow and crossbow, I will go into more detail on these bows in my following article and give you all the information you’ll need on each bow.

Archery is a fun sport and I thoroughly recommend it.

The Compound Bow was invented in 1966 in the USA and was made with two categories of shooters in mind, hunters and target shooters. 

It’s a modern development of the bow which uses a lever system of cables, wheels and cams to draw the limbs back.

They are certainly much more efficient than other bows at transforming stored energy into arrow speed in fact these bows are designed for high arrow velocity, excellent accuracy and ease of use.

One of the biggest advantages to the compound bow is that the shooter does not have to hold the "pull weight" when the bow is fully drawn.

The bow gives you the option to adjust the draw strength within certain limits simply by changing the pulleys and cams on the bow; they often have a peak weight of up to 60lbs, but may only need 15-20lbs to hold the arrow before firing it.

Modern compound bows are significantly shorter than the equivalent recurve allowing them to be taken more easily around forests on field archery rounds etc. Lengths can vary from 840mm to 1220mm (33 to 48 inches) measured from axle to axle.

In tournaments, compound shooters are allowed to use a certain amount of magnification in the bow sight and they can also use a rear sight (known as a peep sight) and can use a mechanical release aid rather than fingers. This is not allowed in other bow classes.

The arrows used with compound bows differ very little from arrows shot by recurve archers but the big difference is that arrows leave a compound bow at an incredible average speed of 275-290 feet per second, which makes them the fastest by far.

Conclusion

Buying a compound bow is certainly a good investment for any archer; it is the most dominant type of bow.

Compound bows are also shot at world level in standard target competitions and will probably become fully allowed at the Olympics (at the moment only 'recurve' or Olympic style bows are shot). So get practicing now.

How do you choose the Bow Release that you need from all the products on offer and from all the various brands available? I think you just have to take your time, do your research and you will find the one that best suits your needs.

An Archery Release is attached to the bowstring and they let you release the string easily by pushing or pulling the trigger. There are actually 4 types of Archery Releases.

a) One of these is the wrist type release aid. Because of its simple design and the power of the release, this is a popular option among bow hunters. You attach it to your wrist with a strap and it is held there using either a rod or a rope and you use your index finger to aid the release mechanism.

b) Another type that is commonly used by target archers is the Hand Held Release. Some archers use calipers to attach to the bowstring and others make use of a rope loop. Hand-held archery release aids are triggered by using back-tension from the thumb or the small finger.

c) The Automatic Archery Release makes use of a hydraulic valve or an electronic timer for the release string to be triggered. It’s activated once you pull your bow. It then discharges the string automatically after reaching the time you have chosen. Some of the new designs come with a safety button that you can push to keep the release from firing.

d) Then there is the Back Tension Release aid. It doesn't have a trigger, it is used by rotating the aid in your hand or relaxing your drawing hand after pulling back. The back tension release isn’t recommended because they tend to have a fairly steep learning curve. You may need to practice using other aids before you purchase a back-tension release.

Here is a listing to the right of the more popular Archery Releases for sale. Have a look and see if you can find the Archery Release to suit you.
