What are the Similarities Of Golf And Archery

The Scottish Shepherds started playing golf back in Scotland, by hitting a leather ball stuffed with feathers. So many people played the game of golf in Scotland, that the government eventually stopped the game. The government wanted the people to practice archery, so they could be good enough to defend their country. Was stopping the game of golf altogether a mistake?

Judging by the enthusiasm of how golf is moving forward today. They might have been better off stopping the use of the mashie and niblick golf club, and made it mandatory to use the bow and arrow instead. It would have accomplished two things. The people would have improved their archery skills, and for the people who continued using golf clubs, it would have speeded up golf play at the same time. All they had to do to make it safe was lengthen the tee time intervals. The wind may have been the only other dangerous factor. The biggest problem would have been getting an audience or a crowd to watch along the sidelines.

Now taking a look at the similarities of golf and archery, one would think they went hand in hand. Both sports require a shaft, target, distance and accuracy. The two sports are played with a curvilinear motion. Players from both sports have to use a straight arm and a bent arm. The two sports have rounds to play. Both the arrow and golf ball are capable of going 400 yards or better in a single shot. The tournaments included junior tournaments. Carrying either equipment is typically swung over the shoulder. The circle in a target is the approximate size in width as the tin cup. Equipment for both sports is made with grooves in them. The one difference between the two sports that stands out the most, one requires a nock and the other requires a niblick to play with?

I am knew to archery?

I have been wanting for years to learn archery, and I am finally getting the chance to. But I am not sure what kind of arm guards I should get (leather, etc. etc.) or what a 'field tipped arrow' is or what kind of arrow to get.
If someone could answer these questions with a clear, concise response then I would be greatly pleased.

a leather arm guard would do but its really ur opinion on wht u want and u need to know wht poundage bow u have to know wht arrow spine weight u need so ex. i shoot a 51# longbow and a 53# recurve and i use both a 2016 arrow which is 10.1 grains per in. and a feild tipped arrow is a point tht will stick into and stay in the target without falling out of it untill u pull it out of the target but go to eastonarchery.com i think they have a online arrow chart
