Arrowsmith: Automatic Archery Scorer

We present a method for automatically determining the score of a round of arrows lodged in an archery target face. That is, given an image consisting of a complete target face, and given a set of arrows that have struck within the target face, we generate a score for each arrow with regard to which two circles it’s between. To do this, we present a multi-step process to determine the location a...

Applications of Physics to Archery

Archery lends itself to scientific analysis. In this paper we discuss physics laws that relate to the mechanics of bow and arrow, to the shooting process and to the flight of the arrow. In parallel, we describe experiments that address these laws. The detailed results of these measurements, performed with a specific bow and arrow, provide insight into many aspects of archery and illustrate the ...

Bow-arrow interaction in archery.

A mathematical model of the flight of the arrow during its discharge from a bow was proposed by Pekalski (1990). His description of the model was incomplete. In this paper, I give a full description of the model. Furthermore, I propose some improvements that make his model more consistent with reality. One achievement is the modelling of contact of the arrow and grip; the pressure button is mod...

Training and Competition Analysis in Olympic Archery

In order to analyze the interaction between training and performance in Olympic archery an antagonistic model (PerPot) and neural networks were used to model individual performances of seven archers on the basis of training and competition documentations. The modeling resulted in moderate model fits for the PerPotmodel, suggesting the use of the model for the rough planning of overall training ...
