We’ve compiled an extensive, alphabetical glossary of archery terms. This list was made as extensive as possible with special consideration for the beginner archer. Go ahead, compare our list with any other out there on the interwebs. You’ll find ours has more words and phrases and in our opinion, the definitions are more descriptive and entertaining to read. You may use this glossary of archery terms as a reference guide, by looking up the word or phrase you are interested in or read it however you see fit. Either way, you will be sure to enrich your archery knowledge and vocabulary. A device from the Ottoman era that is strapped to the wrist of the archer. The siper has a channel on it that hold the arrow as it is being overdrawn, that is the arrow is drawn inside the bbow. This device is used for flight shooting where very short and small arrows are shot to save weight. An arrow that is too rigid for the bow from which it is being shot. This usually results in extremely inaccurate and inconsistent shots. High altitudes demand a degree of cold adaptation, as well as adaptation for low air pressure and the consequent low oxygen. This adaptation is accomplished by an increase in lung tissue generally. Feather shapes for fletching arrows come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Feathers that have been cut to a specific shape with the use of a ‘cutting die’ are referred to as “die-cut feathers:.

Holding takes place at full draw. Holding is the maintenance of the bow and arrow in a constant position during full draw just before the release. This may require substantial strength and stamina depending on the weight or type of bow. Compound bows were designed specifically to allow for easy holding because the actual weight felt at full draw drops off due to the cams at the bow tips. Applying a force to the bow handle when drawing produces a force on the bow and causes it to behave a certain way when the arrow is released. The katrah or follow-through technique in Turkish archery requires applying a small amount of pre torque to the wrist which causes the upper limb to snap forward upon release. The bow, as we’ve discussed the bow is an energy storage and transfer device. Not all of that energy is transferred however, some of it is reabsorbed by the bow itself. This excess energy can be felt as vibrations in the bow and string after release. String silencers are devices that attach to the bow string and help dissipate some of this energy. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some of the more common ones include the “cat whiskers” variety. The release of the arrow from the bow by releasing the string with the draw hand. The loose or release is an important aspect of archery. All of the tension and pressure culminates at this crucial point, right as the string is let go. When the distance from the grip or handle to the string of a strung bow is more than 7 inches. This usually means the string is too short. A high braced bow or an underbraced bow will not perform as well as a properly braced bow. There is a sweet spot or window of desired brace height which promotes optimal performance.These arrows are formed with two types of wood fitted together. Typically the half or third of the arrow closer to the arrowhead is made of hardwood and the rear of the arrow is made from softwood. Reinforcing the area of the arrow in the location where it is more likely to break helps ensure it will survive the impact. Most archery is an exercise in aiming. Other than instinctive archery, which requires the archer to more or less point at the target with their body, bow, and arrow, most archery relies on an aiming technique of one kind or another. The most primordial and rudimentary aiming method is to look down the shaft of the arrow and line up the point with the target. More modern bows have sights that aid in getting an accurate shot

The Janissaries were the cream of the crop of the Ottoman armies of the late medieval ages. Most were captured as small children and trained as soldiers from childhood. They were professional soldiers who know only loyalty to the sultan and war. They were trained in all types of weaponry including early firearms. However, the Ottoman bow was also highly favored and used. They were expected to be expert marksmen.Also known as a mounted archer because a horse was the most common beast of burden used as a platform for archery in the past. Although elephants and camels were also used. A horse archer is an archer mounted on a horse. A small flat surface is attached to the side of a bow just above the handle. The strike plate takes the wear and tear caused by the friction of passing arrows as they are released from the bow. A competitive archery event where the archer shoots at a plank of wood about two meters high and only about 5 inches wide. Fast flight is used mostly on traditional bows as compounds require materail with even more rigidity. Kevlar and various rigid plastics are used with some compounds.

A type of bow that has limb tips that curve away from the archery when the bow is strung. Because the tip is included to keep traveling forward the string and hence the arrow will have greater acceleration than if the limb tip was no recurved. Not modern. If the components that comprise the bow or the tools used to make the bow, consist of nuts, bolts, washers, or any component which requires modern machining that was only around since the time of the first industrial revolution (18th Century A.D.), it is not traditional. Sorry. Archery was around way before the 18th century A.D. Not my opinion, this is a historical fact. Not like I really care, shoot what you like.A powerful medieval bow; also known as an English longbow. After the English encountered such weapons in Wales they were used by the English ever afterward. They were long self-bows made of elm or yew. Stalls are protective fingertip coverings. Instead of a full glove, these just slip over the intended fingers.

A longbow popularized by the medieval English, particularly during the Hundred Years War fought with France. Once the invading Anglo-Normans suffered heavy casualties during their attempted subjugation of Wales at the hands Welsh longbowman , the potential of this long-range weapon was realized. The longbow was a feature of the English armies ever afterwards. A common material used in the construction of modern bows. Fiberglass is basically plastic, reinforced by strands or fibers of glass. It is relatively new material as the first US. patent was issued in 1880. Fiberglass can behave similar to many types of wood and is very cheap to mass-produce. The process of applying pressure using the heel of the bow hand on the lower end of the handle while drawing and shooting. A form of bow in which the entire length of the handle and arms curve away from the archer. Like a recurve but even more re. A reflex bow has inherent geometry that ensures great acceleration of the bow limbs when the string is released by the archer. The number of arrows shot at a particular target before scores are tallied and the process is repeated. Competitive archery may have several rounds that vary from event to event.A form of archery practice done in the great outdoors. The archer first chooses a target, typically a natural feature such as a mound of dirt or a tree. After the target is selected the archer shoots one or more shots and then moves on to selecting new targets. Safety is important and the practice is usually best performed in open areas with a low population density.
