Table of Contents

IntroductionArchery is a sport that requires patience, self-worth, self-reliance, safety and skill. It is a sport

that provides people of all ages with a challenge that is fun. Therefore, archery has been

included in the year 10 Physical Education Curriculum, as it introduces the students to an

enjoyable activity outside of ‘typical’ Australian sports. The unit aims to provide an inclusive

four lesson approach to discovering different ways to lifelong physical fitness and personal

wellness. As outlined on page two, the archery unit will expand on student learning in the

Health and Physical Education, Design, Creativity and Technology, and Personal Learning

domains. As a sport that is uncommonly practiced by students within the school, the archery

unit will provide ample opportunity for students to peer teach/coach and peer assess each

other, as students will all be on an even playing ground with experience. Additionally, the

archery unit will educate students about the importance of safety and sport etiquette. Finally,

the archery unit will provide students will the practical experience of developing persistence,

positive self-talk, concentration and self-confidence that can be used in their studies and

everyday life.

History/Background

Archery dates back to as early as 20,000 years ago. Developed initially as a hunting tool, the

bow and arrow allowed the hunting to occur from a safe distance. It became a survival tool,

providing food, bone to make tools and fur to create clothing and shelter for warmth. The

early bows were crafted from pliant wood and string made from animal gut. The arrow was

designed from tree resources that could develop a straight shaft, with stone or bone carved

into a pointed tip with feathers placed on its end. (Haywood & Lewis, 2006).

As war began in 3500 b.c. the bow and arrow became a primary weapon for the Egyptians.

Bow designs became as tall as the soldiers, and the arrow heads were made of flint and

bronze (Haywood & Lewis, 2006). This design changed again in 1800 b.c. when the

Assyrians made a composite bow with a recurve shape made from horn, wood and leather.

This design made the arrow shoot powerfully, and made the bow an easy weapon to carry.

(Haywood & Lewis, 2006).

In a.d. 1066, the Normans battled against the English (Anglo-saxons), where archers avoided

carrying many arrows and reused their enemy’s arrows throughout battle. Following the

battle, the Normans and English integrated, with the English taking ownership of the bow as

their primary weapon. Over the years the English continued to alter the weapon and improve

its design. However, by the 16th century, fire weapons were developed and the need for the

bow and arrow as a weapon quickly diminished but the challenge and entertainment that

shooting an arrow provided promised its existence in the future as a sport. (Haywood &

Lewis, 2006).

By the 1600’s, archery became a competitive sport, taking on three different forms that were

similar to today’s Target Archer, Clout Archer and Field Archery. Then in 1900, Archery was

first introduced as an Olympic sport at the Paris Olympics, continuing in the games until

1920. Archery then became absent in the Olympics for 52 years, returning in 1972. Its

absence resulted from a lack of and international governing body and universal rules. In

1931, the Fédération Internationale de Tir à l’Arc (FITA) was founded and universal rules

were developed, guaranteeing its existence as a competitive and Olympic sport (Haywood &

Lewis, 2006; Olympic.org, 2013).

Today, archery continues to be a popular sport worldwide. Interest has increased over time as

technical advances in materials and design have improved the bows flexibility, arrows weight

and shooting accuracy. As a sport, archery has continued to evolve, developing popular

interest by people of all ages through its variations to competition and opportunities, mental

skills and challenges it provides (Haywood & Lewis, 2006).

Major Rules, Court/Field Dimensions and Game Etiquite

Field Dimensions and Major Rules (Including a description of the different Archery dimensions)

Target Faces

Target faces range in their style and size. Commonly, coloured targets are used that are either

122cm or 80cm in diameter. The face is divided into five colours: gold, red, blue, black and

white. Each colour is divided into half, providing ten scoring zones in total (Archery

Australia; Government of Western Australia Department of Sport and Recreation

[GWADSR], 2014).

The diagram below indicates the scoring value for each zone. If the arrow hits the target on a

line between two rings, the higher score is awarded to the archer. Gold has an additional zone

known as the X Ring, which is also worth ten points. This is marked as ‘X’ on the score card

and used to break ties within the event. If the arrow misses the target zones, an ‘M’ is marked

on the scorecard to indicate a miss. The target face is attached a wooden stand known as the

butt. The target butt is angled back ten degrees off vertical, with the centre of the face

positioned 130cms above the ground (Archery Australia; GWADSR, 2014).

(GWADSR, 2014

Archery is a sport that can be classified under many disciplines. These include:

Outdoor Target Archery

Outdoor Target Archery is

shot on an open flat field.

Each event is called a round

which consists of a number

of ends at varying distances.

An example of a range

layout is shown in the

diagram on the right and

below.

3

As shown in the second diagram above, the field is divided into shooting lanes. Five meters

behind the shooting line is a waiting line where the archer’s equipment can be stored. Barriers

surround the entire field and no one is allowed to enter the field unless they have

authorisation to do so. All of the barriers must be a minimum of 20 meters away from the

first and last targets, at least 10 meters behind the waiting line and a minimum of 50 meters

beyond the 90 meter target line (GWADSR, 2014).

Indoor Target Archery

Indoor Target Archery is shot over 18 or 25 meters. In Australia, there are four different

rounds, which can be shot as a single or double round (Archery Australia, 2014):

1. The Australian Indoor 18 meter: 30 arrows are shot over 18 meters on a 40

centimeter target face.

2. The Australian Indoor 25 meter: 30 arrows are shot over 25 meters on a 60

centimeter target face.

3. The FITA 18 meter: 60 arrows are shot over 18 meters on a 40 centimeter target

face.

4. The FITA 25 meter: 60 arrows are shot over 25 meters on a 60 centimeter target

face.

Indoor Target Archery is set up similarly to Outdoor Field Archery, with the venue

usually being either concrete or polished wooden floored

(GWADSR, 2014).

The diagram on the right shows the layout and dimensions for

an Indoor Target Archery event. Barriers surround the event,

with spectators erected a minimum of 10 meters from the

target line, and a minimum of five meters behind the waiting

line (GWADSR, 2014).

Three different target face styles can be selected for indoor

archery; single face, triple (triangle) face and triple (vertical)

face. The single faces are scored from ten points to one,

whereas the triple faces score from ten points to six points.

4

Field Archery

Field archery is made up of two different disciplines, marked (shooting at marked

distances) and unmarked (shooting at unmarked distances). Distances can vary between

five meters and 60 meters. The targets in marked field archery faces have coloured pegs

on them to indicate the division and category of the target. The peg will also state the

target number, distance and how many arrows can be shot. Unmarked archery faces also

have the coloured pegs on them to indicate the division and category, however the

distance will not be marked (Archery Australia, 2014). The targets come in four different

sizes, 20 centimeter, 40 centimeter, 60 centimeter and 80 centimeter. These target faces

are set up as shown in the diagrams below (Archery Australia, 2014):

There are six scoring zones on the Field Archery faces, with the inner zone scoring six

points, counting back to the outer zone which scores one point (Archery Australia, 2014).

Field Archery is set up similarly to golf in that targets are set up around the course

providing challenges such as shooting up or down hill, across slopes and throughout

different weather conditions (Archery Australia, 2014). The walking distance from the

assembly point (central point) to the furthest target is no more than one kilometre away.

Signs are visible place around the field, providing directions from target to target

(GWADSR, 2014).

Para-archery

5

Para-archery is a sport available to athletes with physical disability, including spinal cord

injury, cerebral palsy, amputee, etc. There are three classes: open standing and wheelchair

(Archery Australia, 2014; GWADSR, 2014). The sport tests the athlete’s accuracy,

strength and concentration. Competitors shoot the same distances and rounds as non-

disabled athletes (GWADSR, 2014). However, modifications to equipment and rules can

apply depending on the pap-classified athlete’s disability (Archery Australia, 2014).

Run archery

Run archery is a sport that combines cross-country running with archery. The course

length can vary and include sprint, long distance competitions and relay competitions.

The competition begins with athletes running, and then alternating between shooting three

arrows at a target (GWADSR, 2014; Werderaner Bogenschutzen, n.d.). One significant

difference about Run archery is that the sport does not award points for accuracy of the

shot on the target. Only when an athlete misses the target all together will a penalty loop

apply (Werderaner Bogenschutzen, n.d.). The course length and target size may vary

depending on the age of the competition. The bow must be held in the hand while

running, with the arrows either carried in a back quiver or left at the shooting range. The

fastest athlete of the

competition wins the Run

archery (Werderaner

Bogenschutzen, n.d.).

6

(World Archery, 2013)

Clout archery

Clout archery is a sport that was inspired by medieval times where archers would lob

their arrows towards advancing armies. Using the concept of shooting over long ranges,

clout archery is short over distances of up to 180 meters (Archery Australia, 2014). A

target is laid out on the ground with the clout centrally positioned. The archers aim to

land their arrows into the clout which is generally a triangular shape (Archery Australia,

2014). Archers are required to shoot in one direction towards the target, with distances

staggered so that shooting over another archers head does not occur. The field is set up

with a shooting line marked on the ground, followed by a waiting and equipment line five

meters behind. A further 10 meters behind the equipment line is the spectator line. The

entire field is roped off for safety precautions, and only archers competing in the sport

and authorised staff are allowed to enter this area (GWADSR, 2014).

(Whiteman Park Archers, 2014)

Flight archery

Flight archery occurs on a flat, open field providing a landing are of at least 200 meters

wide and up to one kilometre long. The field needs to be free of any hazards or

7

obstructions such as trees, fences, buildings, etc. The shooting line is marked 20 meters

long with the foul line one meter in front. A central line is marked on the ground from the

‘minimum shooting distance’ to 100 meters beyond the ‘maximum expected shooting

distance’. Labelled stakes are placed at 100 meter intervals along this central line to

measure distances shot. A five meter wide and 20 meter long equipment area is marked

behind the shooting line (Archery Australia, 2014).

The objective of flight archery is to shoot the arrow as far as possible. This is traditionally

completed using a recurve flight bow. Each archer can shoot 6 arrows in a flight event.

The furthest arrow shot by an archer wins the event (Archery Australia, 2014).

3D Archery

3D Archery is a modified form of Target Archery. It can be set in a variety of locations,

including field, the woods or indoors (GWADSR, 2014). The aim of 3D Archery is to

imitate real life hunting. The archer shoots at various 3-Dimensional life-like objects,

such as various animal shaped targets. These targets will be placed at varying distances

within the location. 3D Archery tests the shooters skill and ability of estimating the

approximate distance of the target. Each 3D target will have a set of scoring rings on it.

For Example, the heart may score 10 points, the lungs may be 8 points and other body

parts may be 5 points (3DShoots, 2014; GWADSR, 2014).

(Everything-Archery, 2009)

Archery Etiquette Out of politeness and respect for other archers, it is important to:

1. Be considerate of noise levels while others are shooting. This includes talking quietly,

not creating any distracting noises and phones being put on silent or off.

2. Not shout on the shooting line for themselves or for others, in happiness or disgust.

3. Offer assistance with setting up and putting away the equipment.

4. Not walk off or approach the shooting line while an archer adjacent to you is at full

draw, this could distract their peripheral vision.

5. Not leave any rubbish on the archery field.

6. Not smoke near the shooting or waiting line.

7. Never touch another archer’s equipment unless permission is provided.

8. Not talk to another archer who obviously prefers to be silent.

9. Not walk up and down the shooting line to compare scores with other archers.

10. Replace another archer’s arrow in cash if you break their arrow out of carelessness.

11. Not complete your own scores on the score sheet, ask another archer to do this for

you.

12. Give your scores in groups of three and in descending order. For example, “10-8-7”

pause “9,7,7”.

13. Take into consideration other archers who are shooting at the same target as you when

you position your foot markers. Allow enough space for other archers.

14. Do not retrieve any arrows from the target face until arrow values have been checked

and recorded. Ask permission to retrieve your arrows.

15. Thank the scorer at the end of each round for their work.

16. Be aware of waiting archers. Do not dawdle while retrieving arrows, or returning back

from the target. If you cannot find lost arrows, return looking after the next shot is

made.

Cost Analysis of Conducting the UnitCost – Due to having an oval, there will be no extra costs e.g. hiring external venues due to

the space on the oval.

When having the one off field trip, the school will be covering the bus to and from the

archery shooting range. It will be a total of $50. The cost of hiring the archery facility for the

hour and a half will be $100. The school will be covering half of these expenses, then

students will be asked to bring $2 each to cover the final charge.

Experts – The teacher will have to have a proficient level of knowledge of Archery as it is

viewed as a dangerous so all aspects need to be covered, in particular the safety measures

required.

Venue – Prior to conducting the archery unit, the teacher will need to book the oval foe each

of the lessons required. Having the oval means there will be no costs required and it is a lot

easier in terms of time management.

10

Equipment and FacilitiesArea/venue – The area we will be using for this activity will be the football oval. It will need

to be hired several weeks prior to the unit starting.

Having 5 archery targets and a distance of 15m from the shooting point will mean it’s a safe

distance that students are trying to wind up and shoot the archery further than necessary.

The targets will be 15m out from the top of the goal square, where the arrows and holders

will be placed.

Equipment – The equipment that will need to be is the following:

Archery boards

Arrows

Holders for the arrows

Different targets on the archery boards e.g, pictured

Grip holders for when shooting the arrow

Plan –

Students collectively bring equipment from sports shed to oval

Set up targets and brief students on safety and requirements

10 minutes of briefing at the start of each lesson.

11

Have different pictures on the board each lesson for students to shoot so there is no

repetition.

10 minutes the end of the lesson to talk about what improvements you saw and what

is planned for the next lesson.

ARCHEY EQUIPMENT

Ground Quiver Accessory to hold arrows and the bow – keeping the arrow tips contained. Set up in the ground, place arrows within circular frame, arrow heads facing down. Rest bow on lever hooks.

Armguard and Finger Tabs Optional Equipment. Armguard is worn to protect the forearm from the bowstring. Finger tabs are worn over first three fingers of drawing hand to protect fingers from rubbing on

the string.

17

Arrow Arrows can be made from wood, fibreglass, aluminium, carbon and aluminium carbon. The fletching are plastic vanes (replacing traditional feathers) – The cock fletching will be a

different colour, and remains up when you nock the arrow.

Recurve Bow The bow tips are bent back in the relaxed position.

18

ARCHERY TERMINOLOGY

Actual draw length: The arrow length needed by an archer; measured from the bottom of the slit in the

arrow nock to the back of the bow.

Actual draw weight: The energy (expressed in pounds) required to draw the bow to the actual draw

length.

Aim: To place the arrow tip over a particular point

Alignment: In shooting form – the relationship between the trunk and the arms.

Anchor: To draw the bowstring to the anchor point

Anchor Point: A fixed position against the body to which the draw hand is brought

Arm Guard: A piece of leather or plastic placed on the inside forearm of the bow arm to protect it from

a slap of the bowstring upon release

Arrow Rest: A projection from the bow window, above the arrow shelf, on which the arrow lies when

drawn.

Arrow Shelf: A horizontal projection at the bottom of the bow window on which the arrow can lie in the

absence of an arrow rest

19

Bowstring: The string on the bow, usually made of Dacron or Kevlar.

Crest: A decoration painted on arrows, often a coloured band, to help archers identify their set of

matched arrows.

Dominant Eye: The eye preferred by an archer for sighting or visually fixating on an object

Draw: To pull the drawstring.

Draw Length: The distance between the nocking point and the grip of the bow at full draw.

End: A specified number of arrows shot (usually 3-6) before archers go to the target to score and

retrieve their arrows.

Face: The paper of cardboard with a target printed on it.

Finger tab: A piece of leather or plastic worn over the draw fingers to protect them and to ensure a

smooth release of the bowstring.

Fletching: The turkey feathers or plastic vanes mounted on an arrow to stabilize it in flight.

Follow-through: The archer’s position after release of the arrow; ideally the body, head and bow arm

position are held steady and the string hand recoils over the string shoulder as a result of continuous

back tension.

Gold: An arrow that lands in the centre of the target. The outer portion of the gold is worth 9 points;

inner portion is worth 10.

Index Feather: The feather mounted on an arrow shaft at right angle to the nock lit, often a distinct

colour; the cock feather.

Kisser button: A small disc attached to the bowstring; meant to contact the lips in the anchor position

to ensure proper anchor and head position.

Nock: A removable piece of plastic on the end of the arrow with a slit for the bowstring

Nocking: Placing the arrow on the bowstring in preparation for shooting.

Pinching: Squeezing the arrow nock with the draw fingers during the draw.

Push-Pull Draw: A method of reaching full draw by pushing the bent bow arm away from the body

while the string hand draws the string

Release: Letting go of the bowstring, ideally by opening the string finger hook.

Round: The number of ends shot at designated distances and target sizes to obtain a standard score.

Vane: A plastic fletching that is more waterproof and weather proof than feathers but often is heavier.

FITTING YOUR BOW AND ARROWS

1. Right or Left handed?2. Determine eye dominance?

Place one hand over the other, creating a small hole between your thumb and fingers. Extend your arms towards the target. Centre the bullseye (both eyes should be open). Slowly bring your arms towards your face while continuing to look at the bullseye. Once your hands touch your face, the opening should be over your dominant eye.

21

3. Determine your draw length (Pellerite method) Draw length = the distance between the nocking point of the bowstring and the grip of

the bow handle at full draw. Stand with your back to a wall Extend your arms and hands out to your sides at shoulder level. Partner measures your wingspan in inches, from tips of each middle finger. Draw length = wingspan (inches) 2.5

4. Finding Draw Weight Bow weight is indicated at a standard draw length of 28 inches. Add or subtract 2 pounds for every inch that your draw length is above or below 28

inches. Adult archer of average strength usually begin with a bow that weighs between 20-25

pounds. Stronger archer usually begin with bows that weigh between 25-30 pounds.

5. Choosing Arrows Absolutely critical to determine proper arrow length – dangerous if too short or too

long. Beginner arrow length = draw length + 3 ¾ inches Place the knock on your breastbone and between your outstretched arms and palms.

Make certain there is at least 3 ¾ inches of arrow shaft extending past the finger tips.

6. Fitting the arm guard and finger tab Place arm guard on the forearm of your bow arm (arm holding the bow) Place finger tab on so that it cover the first three fingers of your draw hand.

Appendix #7 Around the world instructions and resource

Equipment: 3 Archery faces. Set of arrows per student. 6 cones representing the line

student stand waiting 6 cones indicating the shooting line.

A4 pictures of places around the world.

Masking tape.

Organization/set up: Students will be in pairs 2 pairs will be shooting at the 1 target. Cones will be set out to indicate the line non-shooting

students stand. The shooting line (cones) will be 5m ahead of the non-

shooting line. The 3 target faces are set up 15m from the shooting

line. A world map is placed on the map and you are to shoot

at this. A point system will be drawn up with larger cities being

more points and smaller being less.

Instructions: Each pair shoots from their arrow holder position. One partner must wait for their turn behind the

waiting line. Students will practice the main component of Archery (accuracy) by aiming at the world map and

the places with more points. The shooter will be judged on accuracy where 2 points will be given for this and then adding on

the points for where the arrow hits. 1 student from the pair will have 3 shots, adding up this total.

33

Scoring System8 points – Russia7 points – USA6 points – Canada5 points – Australia4 points – Brazil3 points – China2 points – India1 point - Rest

34

Being the larger countries these will be more points and enlarged on the map, will be very achievable to aim at. With a lot of smaller countries on the map, it is more than likely the archer will hit one of these because of the room they take up, hence why they are 1 point.
