Much of a flight archery shoot will be familiar to most of you used to competing in the UK: the line, the details, the hunting for arrows, the tents, and even the drizzle. But the rest of it really is nothing like anything else; a monomaniacal quest to go higher and further than someone has gone before you. Assuming this is the case, you can now move the string to the right and the pin to the left... and the movement will be the same (as pictured by the archer): A round of arrows shot during an archery event, usually 3 to 6 arrows. Six arrows shot one after the other is an end. English Longbow Some of them had an ’archer’s lodge’ (Okçular Tekkesi) attached to it, complete with libraries, dormitories, museum, and offices. Ottoman archers practiced target archery, usually at long distances of 90 to 265 m. Archers and competition referees can use this vocabulary of archery terminology. The titles and common match rulings will also help spectators and sports fans.

The field today is marked out to 900 yards, with stakes and reference markers for distance. “There’s a runway after that, then we’ve got the option after the runway of another 500 metres on top. Tony Osborn here is the only person in the UK to have shot beyond the runway. That was with a specialist compound flight bow, and he did 1050 metres. Extraordinary. Nowadays the fastest compounds can regularly exceed the seven, eight, or nine hundred yard mark. When I started shooting flight in 1976 anything over about 800 yards was considered exceptional. Now even target recurve bows can push things close to 600 yards or so.” marker flags; 3D printed fletchings Today, with a headwind, it is not a day for records, although many world marks have been set in the UK. The ‘Superbowl of flight’ is the yearly shoot on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA, and Mike has been there many times and set records. “The difference in weather, and in elevation, is huge. In September in Utah it can be between 80 and 100 degrees and very dry. I find I can shoot 10% further out there than here and that’s the humidity. They’re also set up with a following wind – the salt flats are so massive so they can just go anywhere. We’re not much above sea level. You’re 5000 feet up there. The air is thinner and easier to shoot through. And yet a lot of the records are held here in Britain.” An unsharpened arrowhead used for targets and small game. Designed not to let the arrow penetrate a target, but rather bounce off. Made from steel, aluminum, rubber, or brass. Bobtailed Arrow
