The recurve bow is one of the main equipment for the Olympic archery competition. It is well-known through the current developed network, digital television and other dissemination. Its structure consists of a bow piece, a bow handle, a bowstring, a long balance rod, a short side rod, a rod counterweight, a clicker, and a sight. When shooting with it, you aim at the bull's eye by looking at the crosshairs with your eyes.
Everyone knows that our eyes cannot focus on two objects at different distances at the same time. The distance between the crosshairs and the target is far apart, and we can only focus on one of them. When the athlete focuses on the crosshairs, the distant target appears a little blurry due to lack of concentration. This aiming method is generally attributed to "the star is real and the target is virtual". But it will cause some problems. This aiming requires the athlete to aim, aim, and aim again, and then shoot the arrow.
However, studies have found that as the athlete's aiming time increases, the quality of the arrow is actually decreasing. When the athlete's attention is highly focused on the crosshairs, the slight shaking of the crosshairs will also cause a larger range of movement on the target surface, which will make the archer's aiming time longer and destroy the archery rhythm. The effect is not very good!
After 2005, the competition rules stipulated that athletes must shoot three arrows within one and a half minutes, that is, shoot one arrow every 30 seconds, and athletes are required to release the arrow within 3 seconds after forming a full bow. If the athletes still use this traditional aiming and archery, it is easy to violate the rules. If the focus is on the ten-ring bull's eye, the crosshairs are relatively blurred, but only the crosshairs are seen shaking within the ten-ring range on the target surface. If the shaking can be controlled within the ten-ring bull's eye, the athletes can find the right time and shoot the arrow decisively. This aiming method is attributed to "the star is virtual and the target is real", which is similar to the area aiming method of the light bow.
This aiming method is very suitable for modern fast archery rules, and will not cause athletes to feel uneasy because of the shaking of the crosshairs, so that they can smoothly complete a series of technical movements.
