In the bygone ages a military weapon and also a hunting method before the invention of the gunpowder is the skill of shooting an arrow using a bow. It is mainly confined now as a competitive sport used for target shooting.
The bow refers to a weapon that shoots arrows using the elasticity of the bow. Also, the bow is made of a strip of flexible material with a cord linking the two ends of the strip to provide tension from which is propelled the arrow which is a straight shaft with a sharp point on one end or have flints and usually with feathers attached to the other end.
The modern day 'Target Archery' involves shooting arrows at a target from a pre-set distance. The only type of bow that is allowed to be used is a recurve bow. Held either outdoors or indoors are archery competitions. Indoor distances are 18 m and 25 m. Outdoor distances range from 30 m to 90m depending on the seniority and 70 m is being used in the Olympic Games. Depending on the type of round, the competition is divided into ends where an archer shoots either 3 or 6 arrows per end. While outdoor rounds generally involve more arrows per round, there are 20 ends of 3 arrows in a round for indoor competition. The competitors, at the end, walk up to the target to score and retrieve their arrows.
The scores have values from 1 through 10 assigned to them and the targets are painted with 10 evenly spaced concentric rings. As for the targets, they are colored as follows
1. The outermost 1 ring and 2 ring. The color is white 3 ring & 4 ring. black is the color 5 ring & 6 ring. the color is blue For 7 ring and 8 ring. red is the color 5. Innermost 9 ring and 10 ring. gold As for the innermost ring, it is sometimes called the 10X ring or the Bull's-eye.
When it comes to the score for each arrow, it would depend upon where it hits on the target. Awarded by shooting an arrow into the two inner most circles is the highest score, which is a ten. Typically, the bull's-eye ring is a tiebreaker with most X's winning. As for the missing rings on the target, it results in a zero score and in case of Line breaker where an arrow just touches a boundary line will be awarded the higher score. Scores are tallied at the end of each round or volley of arrows by summing the scores for their arrows which are recorded on a score sheet.
What archers have is a set time limit in which to shoot their arrows. There is 2 minutes for 3 arrows for indoor competition. Prompting the archers that it is time to shoot are signaling devices such as lights and flags.
