writing a blog entry 2 (Archery)

 Hello, today I am going to explain you: what is archery?, What components is the arch made of?, what types of rope are flexible and resistant?, and his history.

Wat is Archery? = Archery is a sport of precision and strength so in principle its practice requires a great capacity for concentration, but also a correct physical preparation. It consists of hitting the closest to the center of the target to obtain the maximum number of points. So far there are seven modalities in archery, which are: 1. Archery on an outdoor target

                  2. Indoor archery

                  3. Field shooting

                  4. Long-distance archery

                  5. Bow running

                  6. Bow skiing

                  7. Forest tour

The basic elements of an arch are: a pair of curved flexible members, the string stores the energy that is later released when the arrow is released and the arrow.

A very elastic rope would facilitate the tension to be exerted on it, but it would lose too much energy when executing the release. The rope must be not very elastic so as not to waste the energy accumulated during its tension and to ensure maximum performance.

The weight of the rope is another factor to consider. A very heavy rope will make us gain in smoothness and efficiency but it will lose in speed and grazing. A lightweight rope will do just the opposite in addition to adding to the risk of breakage.

The rope must be strong enough to withstand the stress placed on it, withstand a number of shots, and continuous wear and tear over time. Depending on the arch, it will have to be made of one material or another, if you want to get the most out of the arch.

the best materials to make a good archery rope are as follows: 

DACRÓN: it is the slowest, this is due to its high elasticity since it absorbs part of the accumulated power in its tension. This elasticity is beneficial for the bow blades. This material is ideal for initiation bows

FAST FLIGHT: This is the material that replaced the dacron. It is a faster rope because it has less elasticity. arc, is more resistant, and withstands a higher number of shots.

DYNA FLIGHT: The strings, faster, less elastic, and more abrupt than the fast flight

And now I am going to explain a little of history about archery:

the Egyptians were the first to use the bow and arrows. They say that they adopted the weapon at least 5,000 years ago to hunt and fight the ancient Persians, who were equipped only with spears and slings. Soon after, its use became widespread throughout the ancient world.

The Romans used this artifact to make their military activity superior and to make their armies one of the most fearsome archers in history. Los arqueros más notables fueron los ingleses.

Archery as an amateur sport has long been popular, particularly in England. The oldest, non-stop and still existing archery tournament, known as the Ancient Scorton Arrow.

And last but not least you can not have an arc in Spain, you need to do a training curse for get your license (called T2).

the next entry I will going to explain:what is a crossbow, a little of his history and the different types.

And that's all for today I hope you liked my entry about archery.
