Bow shooting competitions of Club ARC MONTJUIC

To minimize the mistakes in the calculation of distances, the bow musts be set for the maximum power afordable by the archer. The arrows must fly the more straigh, the better; the ideal would be what is known as tense shot, but this physically is impossible.
