More Great Information on Archery Bow:
Archery At Its Best by Bobby Buys
Archery, or the art of shooting with a bow and arrow, has a history stretching back almost 12,000 years, with the oldest recorded bow being found in the Holmegård swamp in Denmark.
Bows and arrows were an integral part of the classical armies. The English longbow, made from traditional yew, played a major part in the Battle of Agincourt, but the invention of the musket in 1520 saw the rapid decline of the bow and arrow as a fighting element. In 1595 muskets were ordered to replace bows in the English army and the last battle involving English archers was in 1644, at Tipper Muir in Scotland.
But even though archery disappeared from the battlefield, bows and arrows remained popular for hunting and sport and enjoyed a revival in England during the eighteenth century, particularly among the upper classes.
The arrow has three main components, the shaft, the arrowhead and the fletching, or feathers. Traditionally the shaft was made from wood, but more modern materials, such as aluminium and glass fibre have enabled lighter, hollow-shaft arrows to be made. Nowadays competitive archers tend to favour carbon fibre or composite shafts.
The arrowhead was originally a sharpened tip to the shaft, but has been replaced by a separate head, usually of metal, attached to the shaft. The fletching is used to give the arrow directional stability and was traditionally made from bird feathers.
A modern bow requires protective equipment for the archer to avoid injury. A guard is usually placed on the inside of the arm holding the bow, to give protection from the string as it is released, while a finger guard is used on the hand used to draw and release the bowstring.
Apart from protective accessories, other aids are used in modern archery to improve performance. These can include release aids, to make sure the bowstring is released evenly and consistently and stabilisers, or weights, added to the bow to reduce shaking at the moment of bowstring release.
The key to being a successful archer is consistency and it is important to ensure that you follow a standard shooting technique. Your body should be perpendicular to the target, with your legs slightly apart. Hold the bow in the hand opposite to your dominant eye and use the other hand to draw the bowstring.
To load, point the bow towards the ground and insert the notched, feathered end of the arrow in the string. Support the arrow with the index finger above the arrow shaft and the remaining fingers below the shaft. When ready to shoot, raise the bow to the shooting position, at the same time drawing the bowstring back. Aim at the target and then release the arrow by relaxing the fingers supporting the arrow.

Is it okay to leave your (archery) bow strung up?
I'm pretty new to archery and I was just wondering if it's okay to leave my bow strung up or if it would be better to unstring the bow whenever I'm not using it?
I have a Recurve Bow, 60" about 35lbs pull weight.
If you are not going to use the bow for more than a few days, unstring it. If you leave it strung, it could develop what is known as "string follow" - when the bow takes on an appearance of being strung and does not return to the "unstrung position" when the string is removed. This is especially true of bows made only of wood. If you leave your bow strung for too long a time without using it (and this amount of time is different for each bow), even a thoroughly modern recurve, it will be robbed of its efficiency and power.
Besides, by unstringing your bow each time you are done with it for the day, you are strengthening those muscles used to string/unstring it and (hopefully) getting better at doing it each time.
The ONLY type of modern-style bow which can be strored for lengthy periods of time is the compound bow - since you need some rather specialized equipment to do it and the materials used (and the bow itself) are designed to withstand the stresses.
And NEVER hang your bow by the string on a single peg for any period of time more than a few hours (and this, only if you have to), unless you want to risk breaking your bow. The stress placed on the string by hanging a strung-up bow on a nail or peg can weaken it the string, causing it to break - and broken strings most always result in broken bows. Storing an unstrung bow in a corner is just as bad; the bow can become warped; a warped bow is not only useless, it is dangerous.
Lay the bow "flat" (unstrung), either on pegs or on a horizontal surface such as a shelf (the shelf supports are good) or table (or even the floor, if you have room) - never hang it by the string. Last, remember the advice for nearly everything else...
Store in a cool, dry (but not so dry that leather becomes petrified) place. Heat is a bow's enemy, as is dampness (and so-arid-your-nose-bleeds lack of humidity).
