Welcome

On this blog my students will be introduced to ways of using math and other skills taught in the classroom that show them how you are able to apply them in everyday life. Everyday life for me is archery a sport that I have educated myself about and have had great passion to try and introduce it to students. Archery is not something new by any means but is something that is being reintroduced to newcomers now more than ever. This blog will also discuss the NASP program and its benefits in the schools. And hopefully by the throughout this blog you will grow to have love for archery and see the impact that is has still today.

Helpful Tips Before You Blog

When blogging there are a few reminders that you should remember before you hit that post button. Those that will be allowed to view this blog are only Sparta High School students in my class. I want you to remember that those you will be responding to are your peers and with that being said I want you to respond how you feel but in a way that is respectful to others and their opinions. The other main thing to remember is that you need to use your own work and thoughts and not copy and paste or in essence steal. You also want to remember not to use items that are copyrighted. In simple terms I want my students to use the golden rule treat others as you would want to be treated.

The Importance Of The Right Draw Length

When getting a bow a major part is getting a bow that has the correct draw length. Draw length is the length of the bow from the riser to the knocking point when the bow is at full draw. Bows such as a re curve will not have a draw length but with compound bows they will. Adult bows have a draw length of 24 inches to 32 inches on some models. Determining this is vital to how well you will preform once the bow is set up because if you have a brace height that is too long for you it will cause you to be stretched out too far and if it is too short it will not allow you to relax because you can not get to that point. With this being said I want you to find out what is your draw length.This can be done by going to an archery shop and asking to find out your draw length and they will also allow you to shoot different bows with different draw lengths so you can see how much an inch can make with the comfort of the bow. Once all the students have got their draw length we will use the information to find the average draw length.
