Book excerpt: Developing proper archery form is as critical as having a well tuned bow and the correct arrows. Even the best bow on the market will not perform with any great accuracy without proper form. There are many elements involved with archery form and as a beginner it can be quite frustrating at first but when practiced good archery form will become second nature to you. As a beginner, you may find yourself saying 'I did that shot the same as the last but the arrows are way off'. This is quite common and is it worth remembering that archery is unforgiving and even the slightest of error can cause your arrows to wander off target. This book will guide you through the key parts of archery form; stance, grip, finger position, preparing the shot, drawing the bow, anchoring, aiming, loosing and follow through. The book also contains common problems with form and consistent shooting, and how to resolve these issues. This is the best place to start for beginners and for those wishing to improve their form and find consistency in finding the center of the target.

Download or read book The Book of Archery written by George Agar Hansard and published by London : H.G. Bohn. This book was released on 1841 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Paleolithic era, over 250,000 years ago, archery was invented. With bows and arrows made from wood (mostly pine), archery was presumably used only for hunting. As technology advanced, stone arrowheads were fashioned on the ends of arrows, making them more effective. Archery arrived in the Americas around 2,500 BC. While archery was mostly used for hunting, the tribes of the Southern United States created a game that involved shooting arrows into a moving hoop. The Indian tribes of the Great Plains were the first to become adept at archery on horseback. During the Iron Age, Babylonians and Assyrians used archery in warfare. Just as Native American tribes learned to perfect archery on horses, these peoples became skilled in archery on moving war chariots. Into the Middle Ages, European warfare relied heavily on both skilled and unskilled archers. Implementing mass archery tactics during the Crusades, the English invented their own bow, the English long bow, one of the most popular styles to this day. Today, archery is an Olympic sporting event, a skill used in recreational hunting, and somewhat of a lost art. Recently, archery has become a bit of a fad in America and the United Kingdom because of the rise in popular culture of archers like Robin Hood, Green Arrow and The Hunger Games'Katniss Everdeen.
