Archery and a List of Archery Terms

Archery and a List of Archery Terms:

When we think about all Archery has to offer we don't always look at terms. So today we will take a look at some of the terms used in Archery and see where they themselves correspond. Whether your talking Shortbow, Longbow or any other type of thing that has to do with Archery. It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the terms used.

A:

A/C/C
Aluminium/Carbon/Competition arrow shafts made by 'Easton'.
Made of multiple layers of carbon graphite fibres in a epoxy resin wrapped over a high strength aluminium shaft (0.2mm thick).
The code numbers printed on the shaft indicate its size:
eg. 3-71/300 where 3 is the number of carbon layers, 71 is the last two digits of the core aluminium shafts thickness in thousandths of an inch (0.271") and 300 is the spine of the arrow in thousandths of an inch.
There are specific types of points and nocks for this arrow shaft.
These shafts are lighter than the 'Ultra-Lite' Aluminium shafts.

A/C/E
Aluminium/Carbon/Extreme arrow shafts made by 'Easton'.
Made much the same as the A/C/C arrows, except the shafts are 'barrel-shaped', being thicker in the centre of the shaft and tapered at each end. This creates a much lighter and stiffer arrow.
The code numbers printed on the shaft indicates its size:
eg. 1206G/370 where 12 is the diameter of the aluminium core shaft measured in 64ths of an inch, 06 is the aluminium shafts thickness measured in thousandths of an inch, G indicates the model series and 370 is the spine of the arrow in thousandths of an inch.
There are specific types of points and nocks for this arrow shaft.
These shafts are lighter than the A/C/C shafts.

Actual Draw Weight
The measured or calculated draw weight of an Archer.
eg. a marked bow of 30 lbs. at 28" draw when used by a person having a 27" draw length will have an actual draw weight of 28lbs.
(a 1" difference in draw length will make approx. 2 lbs. difference in draw weight.)
