Glossary of Traditioanl Archery Terms?
« on: November 10, 2007, 05:52:00 AM »
I am sure I am not the first to ask, but has anyone come up with a thread for glossary of terms?
Maybe something everyone can just add to as they think of it.

gravity swells - reasons your arrows hit high or low.                                                
 "which broadhead is best?" : a question asked mostly after bowseason; to create long discussion threads.                                
                                                  "Sweet" : does NOT refer to the taste of a bow; but instead- the way it shoots.                                          
 "trophy" : ANY animal taken with a traditional bow.

 "creepy" : when your draw length decreases by inches just before a shot.
                                                   
" You shoot first" : a term used when you want to shoot the others guys arrow.

*quiver*- what your whole body does when a big buck starts to walk within range.
*brace*- what you'll be in eventually if you hunt from treestands without a safety harness.
*aiming*- have intentions to do something. As in, "I am aiming on going hunting this weekend."
*snort wheeze*- the noise your hunting buddy makes after taking a snort of the Moonshine that southern guide offered him.
*grunt tube*- the handle of your deer drag.
*rut*- a prolonged period of inexplicable bad shooting or hunting.

"Archer's Paradox" --- Ground blind or treestand?

"Playing the wind" --- You had a bean & chee burrito before you got in your stand.

"Spine" --- The part of your body, guarenteed to give out as a trophy buck wanders past at 3 yds

"Trophy Buck" --- The inflated size of any deer from a button buck upwards, that you didn't shoot/missed when no-one else was there to see.

"3-under" --- The distance in feet, below the belly, that you missed your 'Trophy Buck'

"Let it walk" --- Missed.

"Passed up the shot" --- Missed by a mile.

"Ground hunter" --- Scared of heights.

"Still hunting" --- A walk in the woods.

"Spot and stalk" --- Seen it a mile away, had a walk over & it was gone.

"Winded" --- Bean & chee revenge, as a deer's walking past

"Chip shot" --- Missed at under 10 yards

"Got Mojo" --- Really old, dirty & probably broken

"Buck fever" --- Cramp/asleep when a deer comes into view

Rob,
According to your terms, I hope your knife that is on its way doesn't "got Mojo"  :bigsmyl:  

I thought I was the only one that ate burritos before hunting.   :D

@#$!! means a miss

"Mojo"  is a term commonly encountered in the African-American folk belief called hoodoo. A mojo is a type of magic charm, often of red flannel cloth and tied with a drawstring, containing botanical, zoological, and/or mineral curios, petition papers, and the like. It is typically worn under clothing.

I couldn't find the glossary. ks_stickbow didn't open for me.  How is brace measured? From string to the back or the belly of the handle?

"Gross Score": What I estimate the deer's PY score to be and I'm not about to put a tape on the deer to lower my estimate.

15-16': 10-12'

"Effective Range": 5 yards plus how far I shoot in the basement when there's no wind (in the basement).

"Shoots where I look": Some folks scan the target.

"LH Bow":  RH bow on the big auction site.
