Compound bow

A slightly heavier draw length bow will make the arrow go through the air faster. Arrows are made of low density material. Carbon is less flexible and lighter than aluminium, which means that an arrow's diameter can be thinner making it more aerodynamic. Less mass= More speed The less the arrow weighs the faster the energy can make the arrow accelerate. A bow puts energy to a heavier arrow better than a light arrow. Every time you decrease 1” in draw length, you lose up to 10fps of arrow…

greatly in shape, size, tuning, playing techniques, and number of strings. Most of these issues were not agreed upon until early in the 20th century and some still persist today.

training for weeks on how to throw an atlatl, what angle to throw it, and where to hit the animal. I also learned where to hit certain animals, and how hard to throw it, I also learned how to shoot a bow and arrow. Yesterday, had been my last day to practice and I knew I was ready, I packed food, water, my bow, my atlatl, and my will to succeed. When I was little, I had always dreamed of going on one of these trips, going out and throwing that atlatl, hitting an animal right in the head. It had…

As I am crawling through the cornfield stubble on a cold December evening, with my bow clenched tightly in my right fist, I become more aware of the hard dirt stabbing into my knees as I inch my way towards the grove. My hands are white from the numbing wind; the gusts pricking my face that sends a cold chill down my spine. As I lose the feeling of my face and my eyes begin to water, I only have one thing in mind, venison. I arrive to the grove, and make shelter behind a large oak. I scan the…

just simple weapon, up close. One reason that the crossbow seemed simple was because of the way which it looked. The crossbow had a long wooden stock, which was about two to three feet in length. The “bow” part of the crossbow was attached to the front part of the stock. Right in back of the “bow” was the bolt, or medieval arrow of the crossbow section. Below the stock was a lever-type trigger. Also, a second reason that the crossbow seemed simple was that the crossbow was made of many…

He anchored the bottom of the bow in the soft soil and after a few seconds of rest began to string the arrow. Carefully sliding the arrow into place, and making sure that it was taught, he relaxed and waited. Seemingly hours had passed and he stood waiting, His horse becoming upset…

and tell you about the tricks and techniques they have up their sleeve. Well, there was something called a dart point; they would either put the dart point on a long stick and make it a spear or put them on an arrow so they could shoot it with a bow. There are different sizes of dart points used depending upon which animal they were hunting. If they were hunting a rabbit, they would put a small dart point on. If they were hunting for a wooly mammoth, they would use larger dart points. Another…

Many people do not see what I do when they walk upon the archery shooting range. Why would anyone stand there for hours in the blazing hot sun shooting bows?

The archery shooting range is an open field full of bright green grass and lots of heavy…

Based on Otzi’s belongings I think he was a hunter. IF he was a farmer I believe he would have brought some of his own food with him. Even though he had arthritis he seems to be too skilled with a bow and arrow to just be a farmer since 1 arrow had 2 different people’s blood on it. I also think he lives with a group of people since he was whipworm. Whipworm is spread by human poop which makes me think he can’t get sick of his own poop. I don’t believe he died from this illness since he does not…
