Product Information

Internationally, longbow is only recognised in 3D competitions but can be used in all other types of archery domestically. The Grand National Archery Society runs two systems of classification: the main Classifications (for indoor and outdoor shooting) and Handicaps. To do this, they produce tables of scores for all recognised rounds and an archer's classification and handicap can be worked out from their scores, normally by a club's Record Officer.

It is used when the situation becomes suddenly and unexpectedly dangerous. Longbow archers shoot from a distance of between 10m and 90m depending on the round and category the archer has entered. Target faces are the same size and colour as for other bow types. Archers shoot at distances of between 10 metres and 90 metres outdoors. Archery GB rounds can be slightly further at up to 100 yards.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.For a 1440 round, known until 2014 as 'FITA Round', outdoor distances range from 30 to 90m (33 to 98 yards) for senior Gentlemen archers, and 30 to 70m (33 to 77 yards) for Ladies. The juniors have shorter targets to shoot at. In Olympic archery, 70m (77 yards) is the standard range. Indoor distances are either 18 or 25m (20 or 27 yards). Archers have a set time limit in which to shoot their arrows. For indoor competition, under World Archery Federation rules this is 2 minutes for 3 arrows. Signalling devices such as lights and flags inform the archers when time is up. For a 1440 outdoor round the archer has 4 minutes to shoot 6 arrows at the two longer distances, and 2 minutes to shoot 3 arrows at the remaining two shorter distances. In some archery traditions, the term "gold" is used in preference to "bullseye". In target archery, hitting the center ring of an international target is worth 10 points, or 9 points if it's an Imperial target. In darts, the bullseye is located 5 foot 8 inches (1.73m) above the floor. [6] Before the start of a match players will usually throw closest to the bullseye to decide who has the advantage of throwing first. An inner bullseye (sometimes referred to as a "double bullseye" in amateur play) is a smaller, inner circle and counts for 50 points while an outer bull is worth 25 points. [7] In the World Grand Prix, which has a double start format, an inner bullseye can begin a leg. In the dart golf game, the bullseye is used as part of a three-part tie breaker that also includes the treble twenty. The bullseye or bull's eye has, since 1833, [1] been the name for the center of a target and, by extension, since 1857, [1] has been given to any throw, toss, or shot that hits the center.

If an archer damages another archer's arrows (or other equipment), they must offer to pay for any damages.

centimetres (48in) faces are used in Olympic competition. A variant of the 80-centimetre (31in) face, called a "Spot" may be used when shooting WA rounds. This variant shows only the inner 6 rings of a full 80-centimetre (31in) face. There are also versions of the 40-and-60-centimetre (16 and 24in) targets known as the "3 Spot". The targets contain 3 instances of the inner 5 rings of the 40-and-60-centimetre (16 and 24in) faces arranged in a line or an equilateral triangle. This is to stop competitors from damaging their own arrows by shooting a "robin hood". In Japanese archery, known as Kyūdō, the bullseye is called "zuboshi". [5] The term is also used as idiomatic slang just as it is in English, to note that someone has done or said something that hits "right on the nose." Archery competitions may be held indoors or outdoors. Indoor rounds are normally shot at one distance, whereas outdoor competitions normally consist of several distances. For lists of tournament rounds, see section entitled Tournament Rounds. Go down the first column of the relevant table until you get to the round you require. Go across this row to find out how many arrows you shoot at each distance (yds=yards, m=metres, doz.=dozen). An – means no arrows are shot at this distance. Longbow archers can compete in traditional target archery tournaments alongside other bow types. They can also take part in traditional two-way longbow target shooting with two rows of targets at either end of a range.

The only type of bow allowed to be used at Olympic level is the recurve bow. Since the 1984 Games at Los Angeles, South Korea has dominated the women's event. At the Sydney 2000 games, the Korean women won bronze, silver and gold in the individual competition and won gold in the team event. They also won the gold team medal in the 2004 Athens games, the 2008 Beijing games, and the 2012 London games.

Different rounds and distances use different size target faces. Common sizes (and example rounds they are used in) are: Recurve and barebow matches are decided using the set system - whereby archers shoot the points required to beat their opponents - while compound matches are decided on cumulative score. There are two parts to a target archery competition - the qualification stage and the matchplay stage.

Competition is divided into ends. An archer shoots either 3 or 6 arrows per end, depending on the type of round. After each end, the competitors walk to the target to score and retrieve their arrows. An indoor competition is usually 20 ends of 3 arrows. In a tournament, awards are normally split into categories according to bowstyle, gender and, for juniors, age. All registered AGB archers also have an indoor and an outdoor classification, and classification awards may also be presented - this allows archers to only shoot against those of the same ability.Competition is divided into ends. An archer shoots either 3 arrows per end (indoors) or 6 arrows per end (outdoors). After each end, the competitors walk to the target to score and retrieve their arrows. An indoor Worcester round shoots in ends of 5 arrows.
