Archery for Writers
Basic Terminology
Archer/Bowman: a person who shoots with a bow and arrows
Stringer: a device used to bend the limbs of the bow to allow the string to be attached
Bowyer: one who makes bows
Torque Flight Compensator (TFC): a device used to absorb vibration
Toxophilite: a student or lover of archery
Tab: protector for string-fingers to prevent chafing
Peak Draw-weight: maximum weight held by an archer while drawing the bow
Grip: where the hand is placed on the riser
Quiver: pouch, usually worn around the waist, on the back, or placed on the ground, used to hold arrows
Fletching: the feathers (or “wings) attached at the back of an arrow
Draw-weight: weight held by an archer at full draw
Bracer/Arm-guard: protective arm covering for bow-arm
Recurve, Longbow, Compound, and Crossbow
1. Recurve Bows
The recurve bow is as close to a survivalist, self-reliant hunting bow as you can get without completely losing all technology. They’re relatives to the longbow and date back over thousands of years. Mastering a recurve bow takes more practice than a compound bow because they rely entirely on the user’s strength. They may be lighter and easier to carry, but they require more force to draw. Recurve bows also require the user to be closer to their target, which involves more technique and talent than just the shooting of the bow such as stealth and concealment tactics.
2. Compound Bows
Compared to the recurve and the longbow, compound bows require less practice because they rely less on physical strength. They also allow more accuracy and power from a greater distance making related skills such as stealth and concealment less important. Compound bows also allow much more customization and are made to accommodate tools such as scopes and stabilizers. Because of how many mechanisms there are, stringing, tuning, and maintaining the bow requires more gadgetry and skill. They’re also heavier and bigger than a traditional bow like the recurve, but used more frequently in hunting.
3. Longbows
The longbow is similar to the recurve bow and is differentiated from it mainly by its shape. It has a straight grip and is commonly thought of as a half-moon shape. It has a greater depth than the recurve but is thinner and wider. Because of the thicker depth, it’s harder to shoot a straight arrow and requires more practice.
4. Crossbows
Crossbows are known to have superior accuracy. Once they’re cocked, you can fully concentrate on aiming rather than keeping tension on the string while aiming like you’d do with a traditional or compound bow. They’re also very quiet and don’t make loud noises when shot, giving you the opportunity to take a second shot if you miss the first one. It also requires much less upper body strength to operate the weapon and is easier to aim. Crossbows date back to 600BC in Ancient China and could be used by an untrained soldier to injure or kill a knight in a plate of armor.
