"Hi, what is archery? Archery involves a bow and an arrow. And when most people think of bow and arrow they think of the Native American Indian. However, archery's been around for hundreds of years before that. Man's been hunting with a bow and arrow since back in the primitive days. It could have started in Hungary or Japan or Mongolia who knows. Either way it's been around for years and years and now it's become a pretty popular sport and it's gotten a lot more technical. Let me introduce you to some the of the different archery disciplines and some of the equipment involved. This is the compound bow; short aluminum riser, short thick stocky limbs, very powerful. Wheels and three strings; very hard to pull at the beginning, but very easy to hold when the string gets back in what they call the valley. That way you've got plenty of time to aim. Real popular bow with the hunters. This is what you call the traditional bow. Just a plain bow and a string. No stabilizers, sites or anything like that. It's also a take down-bow, because you can unscrew the limbs and take them apart. This is more of a beginner's type bow. This is what we teach the students on. Very easy to pull back, although you can get them with real heavy limbs. Some people even hunt with them. This is your basic bow right here. This is the child's version of that bow. The same thing, short riser, limbs that come apart and a string."
