An arrow with a shaft made of two types of wood. An arrow which has been footed with a piece of hardwood at the head end. Foot Markers
In 2015 Joe Gibbs of the English Warbow Society shot 306 yards (279.8 m) with a livery arrow of 63.5 g, using a 170 lb longbow of Italian yew made by Ian Coote, and a 965 grain standard arrow 311 yards (284.37 m). In the 16th century, prizes were also awarded for distances shot with the lighter flight arrows: Eight pence for 20 score (365.76 m), 12 pence for 22 score (402.34 m), and 20 pence for 24 score yards (438.91 m). Sometimes a shaft will be made of two different types of wood fastened together, resulting in what is known as a footed arrow. Known by some as the finest of wood arrows, [16] footed arrows were used both by early Europeans and Native Americans. Footed arrows will typically consist of a short length of hardwood near the head of the arrow, with the remainder of the shaft consisting of softwood. By reinforcing the area most likely to break, the arrow is more likely to survive impact, while maintaining overall flexibility and lighter weight. Today here in Leeds is a de facto national championships in all but official name; all the associated regional shoots have been cancelled, and most clout shoots as well. A shaft is one of the common archery words relating to the main structural element of an arrow. Can be made of wood, aluminum, carbon or a combination. Shaftment
Record holders also had stone monuments on the archery range erected in their honour, with a poetic inscription detailing the archery’s name, the distance shot, and the date. In traditional archery terminology it is a notch in the riser or the top of the archer’s hand, where the arrow sits. Arrowsmith Most top archers generally prefer a heavy point weight (120 grain). These heavy points require a stiffer (and therefore heavier) arrow shaft. The result is a heavier arrow, and this may cause problems (for men) with 90m/100y sight marks, but there should be little problem with 70m. The Red Arrows are the aerobatic display team of the RAF – officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team. been carbon fibre bonded over aluminium tubing. (This may be changing with the development of Carbon Express and Skylon arrows.)
The show will also mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic by bringing the B-17G “Sally B” and the RAF’s Avro Lancaster together for a “rare formation of the most recognisable allied heavy bombers of the Second World War“. A round of arrows shot during an archery event, usually 3 to 6 arrows. Six arrows shot one after the other is an end. English Longbow Commercially made shafts such as longbow shafts, are made as matched dozens. But on my longbow shafts I shoot anything from a twelve gram point, about 160 grains, up to about fifteen grams, so 25% heavier and again that depends upon the wind conditions on the day. I try and go for a similar spine because it’s the spine out of a bow that dictates whether it’s going to hit the bow or not, of course.” Langston, Gene (1994). "Custom Shafts".

This is a sport for the builders and the engineers, the tweakers and the obsessives. It’s also one of the few spheres of archery where at least a certain amount of brute strength becomes an advantage. A typical longbow flight arrow
