I thought my knowledge of composite and recurve bows would come in handy here. Or the Bhutanese obsession with archery. Who knew there is so much to know about archery’s history.

I feel with you - only ~ 5 questions are about archery itself, the rest is movies, legends and history.

When I used to do archery, it was a big no-no to call the centre of the target a bullseye - it was always referred to as the gold (I note that gold is accepted though). Is this a usage difference from country to country?
