Simple physics. You have the same target using your x axis (which would be your aim from left to right) Though in three dimensions with constant gravity your arrow will reach the ground eventually. If your target is far enough away you will need to point your arrow up to counter the effects of gravity.

How is archery scored?

To win in archer you have to accumalate the most points. the points are determined with colord rings on the target. the middle is usually worth 5 points then going away from the middle it is 1 point less each ring. Archers shoot arrows in rounds, and each round they get a certain number of points. each round the archer usually use 5-7 arrows. after about three rounds the scorers add up the scores and determine a winner.


When your target is downhill and your shooting an arrow do you stand farther or closer to your target?

well, it depends. if it is downhill, you need to be careful of where you are at. using physics, the farther you are away from the target, the higher you need to aim, unless you are at a very high slope and it is hard to hit the target anyways. the closer you get, the more able you are to aim for the center and possibly make it. the wind speed is another thing you need to look out for though.

What does ''follow-through mean in archery and why is it important?

The follow-through is what comes immediately after the release and is a combination of actions that you, the archer, do until the arrow hits the target. After your hand has come back from the release, as only one example, your bow arm should stay up and pointing at the target until the arrow has hit. It is important, because if you just drop your bow arm before the arrow has cleared -- gotten past -- the bow, it will cause the arrow to hit low on the target.

When shooting an arrow at a target why is it advisable to aim above the bull's -eye rather than directly at it?

The arrow does not travel straight, it travels in a parabolic curve from the bow string to the target. The action of gravity pulls the travelling arrow down, so that by the time it gets to the target it is lower than what you initially aimed for. If you aimed for the bullseye, then your arrow may hit lower than the bullseye. Aim above the bulls eye--but not too high--you will hit the bullseye.
