True Accuracy for Compound and Recurve Bows

In the field of archery, the density (dispersion) of arrow impact points is the only standard for measuring accuracy. If the dispersion is smaller than the target, it is a prerequisite for you to guarantee that you can hit the target. If the dispersion is larger than the target, you can also hit it, but there is a probability problem.

Accuracy of compound bows

The current international field competition system is 50 meters and 80 targets! 80 targets means that the diameter of the bull's eye (10 rings) is 8CM, and the yellow area within 9 rings is 16CM. As long as the arrow shaft presses the ring line, it is considered a high ring value.
If someone claims that a 50-meter apple is easy to shoot, this is shameless. Because the diameter of an apple is also about 8CM, then being able to shoot an apple with confidence is equivalent to being able to win a world championship and create a world record of full rings! So no matter how good the technology is, for a target as big as a 50-meter apple, no one in the world dares to pat his chest and say that he can guarantee that he can hit it 100 times.
The real results are like this. Generally, accurate bow players believe that if you reach a score of 300 rings with 36 arrows, then it can be considered that this person has entered the threshold of playing accurate shooting. If you can reach 320 rings, then you have found the way in the field of shooting. If you can reach 340 rings, then you must be a master in China, and you can basically get a good ranking in the national competition, at least the level of the top eight in the national competition. This is derived from the results of previous national competitions.
In field competitions, compound bows will also have indoor 18-meter competitions. The target is a 40 triple target. Scoring starts from the 6th ring. Anything beyond the 6th ring is considered off target. The yellow circle is 9 rings and the diameter is 8CM. The difference here is that the 10-ring 4CM circle is also counted as 9 rings, and the inner 10 rings are counted as 10 rings (counted as X). The diameter of the inner 10 rings is only 2CM, and it is also counted as hitting the line. If you follow the 60-arrow competition: Generally speaking, if you shoot 540 rings, you have found the way. The concept of 540 rings is that 60 arrows basically do not go out of the yellow area with a diameter of 8CM. Occasionally, you can get an 8 ring. Then an arrow X in the yellow is equal to 2 arrows 9! In this way, an average of 9 rings per arrow is 540 rings. Then generally speaking, if you can shoot 560 rings, you are considered an expert in China. That is to say, if every arrow does not hit the yellow area, on average, one arrow out of every three arrows will hit the 2CM area of ​​X. Generally speaking, if you can shoot 560 rings in national-level competitions, you are basically in the top 16. When everyone's performance is average, it is not uncommon to get the top eight with 560 rings.Shooting 570 rings is the performance of an expert, which means that if 60 arrows do not hit the yellow area, at least 30 arrows will hit the X circle. Basically, if you can shoot this number of rings in national-level competitions, you have a certain hope of being in the top three. The above is the current real accuracy level of compound bows, and you can practice as your own stage goal. It is not surprising to shoot a few arrows to a very accurate degree. It is necessary to practice multiple arrows in accordance with the standard to reflect the real level.

Accuracy of recurve bows

Because this project has Olympic-level competitions, the actual level is much higher than that of compound bows. Because the current world record has been shot 72 arrows 699 rings (70 meters 122CM target paper). In this project, there is a huge difference between the level of amateurs and professional athletes. So it is meaningless for us to compare with professional players now.Roughly compare the difficulty with compound bows. Generally speaking, when shooting 40 triple targets at 18 meters! 10 rings count as 10 rings, unlike compound bows, which count X as 10 rings, a 4CM circle of recurve bows counts as 10 rings. 540 rings of 60 arrows and 570 rings of compound bows are about the same difficulty. Other levels can be deduced by analogy. However, the difficulty mentioned here is the difficulty of training, and it cannot be equated with how many places can be won in the competition. Because the gap between professional recurve bow players and players is much greater than that of compound bows, compound bows are much easier to use, so they narrow the gap between players and professional players.
