Sports Equipment

Archery is a precision sport. It makes use of a bow and an arrow. The objective is to be able to shoot the arrow as close as possible to the archery target. It takes years of training and practice to be good at the sport.

Aside from having a keen eye, an archer must also have high concentration skills and a steady arm. In competitive archery, the archer must assume a correct stance where the feet are shoulder-width apart and the body is directly facing the target. The bow should be held in the hand opposite the archer’s dominant eye. The arrow is released by relaxing the fingers but keeping the arm steady.
