Outline of Final Research Achievements

Movement of the shooting form in archery can have a big influence on a score. This sport requires continue reproducing the same shooting form to achieve high scores. Stabilization of the shooting form is usually accomplished by repeating practice under the instruction of the coach. However, it is unusual to see a special coach in the club activities of the national colleges of technology. Therefore, we suggested the use of an engineering technique to improve archery competence. We devised an electronic sight device which assisted the form construction and confirmed the effectiveness. From this result, we recognized the importance of keeping a fixed angle of the left arm. In this study, we developed the device which visualized the trace of the left arm by using physical computing. By using this device, an archer can recognize the habit of their form visually.
