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 is meaning of Save the best for last?

As a military term. There use to be people known ar archers - those who shot arrows at the opposing army. Archers kept a supply of arrows, some of these were the finest iron tipped shafts made by a real fletcher with real feathers to provide angular torque to keep them straight in flight (these were the best). Most of the arrows in an archers quiver however were the mass produced, low quality shafts, some just twigs broken off of near-by trees. When the archers started shooting they would use the low quality arrows first as the opposing army was still far away and the possibility of actually hitting anyone was low. As the opposing army got nearer however (as in a charge) the archer got a little more concerned about their own safety and began using the better arrows to ensure better accuracy and kill power. Therefore master archers were in the habit of instructing their students 'save the best for last.'

How do you point your arrow up and still hit the target?

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.
