A—Arrow, B—Arrow Rest. string. Most class A archers square the string with the arrowrest and mark the position; then two wrappings are made onthe string, one just above the marked position and the otherjust below it. The space between these wrappings is just wideenough for the arrow nock to fit snugly. With both ends of thearrow assured of constant positions, a lot of guess work istaken out of shooting. See Fig. 31. When shooting at the target some provision must be madeto carry the extra arrows. Some put them in the pants' pocket,some wear a belt quiver and some use a ground quiver. Aground quiver is a simple gadget made from a piece of 3/16 or1/4 inch diameter wire which is first bent to form a 3 or 4 inchcircle on one end then the main wire is bent to form a 90 °angle. The lower end is cut off to a length of 24 inches andsharpened. This is pushed into the ground at the archer'sright side. This will hold the extra arrows at a convenientposition; it will also act as a stand on which to place the bowwhile the archer goes to the target to score and retrieve hisarrows. (Fig. 25D) |
