Entertainment section
Not convinced about the new "entertainment" section of the article, with its focus on impalement arts. Is this really archery? Mr Barndoor 10:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
primitive archery
Do not merge . Include a short summary in the relevant section, but this article is long enough as it is. ⇔ ChristTrekker 15:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Merge as potential and available information on traditional archery - as this should be known instead - is relatively low and will leave the article underdeveloped, until we can expand the section-to-be into a more elaborate article. Ariedartin JECJY Talk 10:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Comment Please note that user 65.29.27.250 has taken it upon themselves to do this merge without discussion. Edits are being reverted.
Merge and delete as the information fits neatly into a history of archery (indeed, most of it seems to be on the archery page already) but is more difficult to identify as a subject on its own. Richard Keatinge 14:02, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Roving Mark Scoring
The current Finsbury Mark scoring is 20 points for hitting the mark, then 12, 7 and 3 for being within 3, 6 and 9 yards respectively. Note that this differs from the text stated on the main page, which indicates the distance boundaries are cumulative rather than inclusive. This means that as written the main page is incorrect; what I don't know is whether the modern scoring system is the same as the original (although I do know it used to be for pennies, rather than for points). I'll check with the Captain of the Marks when I shoot with members of the Finsbury Mark next week, but a clarification would be useful.
Vandalism
The last part is clear vandalism of this page. It needs to be fixed. Page has been reverted for now.
I observed that the vandalism was small and thus instead of reverting to the previous version of the page, I only edited out the vandalism on this page. Limaye (talk) 03:11, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
history - too long
For a section that has a main article, it's overly long. I believe this article would be improved if it were tightened and shortened significantly. ⇔ ChristTrekker 15:33, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Amazonian tribe photos
I've put the reference back; it seems that the pictures were perfectly real but it wasn't "first contact". "The story is not a hoax, and none of those involved in working to protect these Indians’ rights have ever claimed they were ‘undiscovered’.
In response to the allegations, Survival International’s director Stephen Corry today issued the following statement:
‘The Observer article claims to ‘reveal’ that the tribe photographed was neither ‘lost’ nor ‘unknown’. The reality is that neither Survival nor the Brazilian government claimed they were:
• When Survival published the photos, we quoted José Carlos dos Reis Meirelles, the Brazilian official who released them, saying, ‘We did the overflight to show their houses, to show they are there…’ As Mr Meirelles said when the Brazilian government released the photos, the Indians’ territory has been monitored for twenty years.
• These Indians are in a reserve expressly set aside for the protection of uncontacted tribes: they were hardly ‘unknown’!" Richard Keatinge (talk) 10:31, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
References
I was able to place the Fred Bear reference that had been removed from the article using this diff.
..but the Becker reference may need consideration since the article appears to have been revised a good deal since it was added. The original addition of that ref was here.
If someone would like to work it back in...
<ref>Becker, Lou. "The Roots of Primitive Archery", ''Primitive Archer'', Vol. 15, Issue 1, Feb./Mar. 2007. pp. 42-48.</ref>

Structure criterion not met?
I notice in the Military history WikiProject box at the top of this page that it has "Structure: criterion not met". What does the article need to meet that criteria?
Would it be beneficial to get have this article reviewed? Looks like it's close to making B-class. ⋙–Ber ean–Hun ter—► ( (⊕) ) 16:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Small error
In one of the sections it has the poundage of the bow written in kilograms, kilograms being a measurement of weight not force. the poundage or pound force, of the bow are there as it's a measurement of the force the string is physically holding from the limbs, just a small correction.
Aiming Methods
The definition of Instinctive Aiming is "aiming without the use of sight pins."
