Explicar las ventajas que se encuentran en el blanco del arquero al hacer uso de los siguientes equipos:

2a

Flechas de aluminio para tiro al blanco

2b

Nivel del arco

2c

Visor del arco

This is a mechanical device that allows you to aim. It has the ability to adjust for windage (left and right) or elevation (up and down). It is only effective if the archer is shooting the same way every single time. Otherwise, it is useless.

2d

Arnés para el arco/dragonera

The purpose of a bow sling is to keep you from dropping your bow. There are two types of bow slings: the wrist sling and the finger sling.

2e

Sujetadores cuadrados de la flecha en la cuerda

This is a tool that clips onto the string and aligns with the arrow rest to allow you to place the nocking point on the correct spot on the sting.

2f

Estabilizador del arco

This is a rod or combination of rods that extend out from the bow to be used for the elimination of torque. They vary in length and weight. While most stabilizers all do the same thing, each archer has their preference based on the stability of the shot.

2g

Disparador

A mechanical device, usually metal, mounted on the window of the bow used to tell the archer that they are at a full draw by making a "click" sound.

2h

Arco de lámina flexible

This is an arrow rest which can be adjusted further or closer to the bow, further or closer to the archer and moves out of the way as the arrow passes through the bow allowing for a cleaner shot.

2i

Botón de boca-nariz (Kisser button)

Kisser button visible in front of the archer's lip

A string kisser is a small protrusion placed on the bowstring as an additional reference point. It touches the archers lips, teeth or nose at full draw.

2j

Estabilizadores de plástico en la flecha

Although nothing flies like the feather God created, plastic feathers or "vanes" can be made exactly the same because they are made from a mold. Getting feathers to match by weight and size is difficult on one arrow and even harder to match a dozen. Vanes are more durable and not susceptible to weather conditions.

2k

Mirilla

An aperture in a small round piece of plastic or metal which is set between the strands of a string above the nocking point to sight through and in line with the bow sight.

3

Explicar qué se entiende por la columna de la flecha.

The arrow spine should be matched to the weight of the bow. Spines that are too heavy come out of the bow sluggishly when shot by a light weight bow. Spines that are too weak come out flexing and tweaking as they leave a bow that is too strong.

Leer los siguientes capítulos en The National Archery Association Instructor’s Manual [Manual del Instructor de la Asociación Nacional de Tiro con Arco] o en otro libro semejante:

4a

Corrección de problemas

This chapter covers problems such as hitting your arm, incorrect stress on the release fingers, etc.

4b

Tiro avanzado

This chapter provides tips on how to achieve absolute stillness from the point of release to arrow clearance and the effect body alignment has on this process.

4c

Afinación del arco

This chapter shows how to adjust the arrow rest, pressure button, string height and nocking point height to achieve good arrow flight out of the bow.

It also describes how the arrow clears the bow, eliminating "nock high", "nock low", left or right clearance problems.

Reading these chapters is lengthy but worthwhile to perfect your shooting. The book was published in 1974, but you may be able to find a used copy at Amazon.com or other online booksellers.

Usando un arco estándar (arco olímpico), anotar uno de los siguientes:

a. Adentro

30 flechas (5 rondas) a 18 metros (60 pies), anotar 140 puntos en un blanco de 60 cm (23.62 pulgadas)

b. Al aire libre

30 flechas (5 rondas) a 30 metros (98.42 pies), anotar 170 puntos en un blanco de 122 cm (48.03 pulgadas)

A standard "Olympic Bow" is a recurve (not compound) bow with no more than 3 stabilizer extensions, a sight, and a clicker. An archer must use fingers and not a mechanical release and may not have a string peep sight or magnified aiming device.

• Be aware of who is around you at all times.
• Don't "hide" behind the target.
• Don't walk in front of another archer.
