An Archery Glossary
And speaking of releasing the arrow, don't forget your leather finger tab for protecting your string fingers. Always pay attention to the condition of the fletching on your arrows so that you don't start releasing mis-flights. When you are in competition, you'll want to keep close track of how well you're doing in each FITA Round, that set of 144 arrows shot at a target from four different distances. This is the most common round in archery contests. That set of 144 arrows won't all belong to the same group, though, as this is either a trio of arrows that you have shot at a target or the pattern in which your arrows landed on the target.
Before either practicing or entering into a competition, make sure you have checked the condition of your bow's limbs on either side of the riser, as this is very important for the how well your string is held. Oh, and speaking of the arrows' fletching, you also want to check your arrows' nocks to be sure that they don't have any cracks or fissures and are not clinging too tightly to the string. Your arrows should all be nicely stored inside your quiver and awaiting the time for you to draw one out and nock it upon the string. Most compound bow shooters, how are more experienced archers in most cases, instead of relying on their fingertips choose to use a release aid. This holds the string directly instead of the fingers and permits more fluidity of release. You want to always be sure that you have a firm but relaxed grip upon the riser of your bow with your bow hand. The "back" of the riser faces the target. The "belly" of the riser is the side nearest to the string and the archer.
Once you get pretty advanced into archery you will probably want to start using a sight so that your aim and vision are enhanced. Upon release your bow string can cause some very much unwanted torques in your bow, thereby throwing off your follow-through form. In order to minimize this negative effect, you can get an extending weight placed upon your bow; this weight is called a vertical stabilizer after the way it extends out from the riser. Now... once you get very advanced as an archer, you might just be able to split open the shaft of one arrow already in the target with a precisely placed release of a second arrow. You'll then have had a real Robin Hood moment, and you like others will want to display your achievement on your wall in your home or office.
