The Defferent Point of Japanese Archery and Archery

In abroad, archery is more popular than Japanese archery, and so many people think that archery and Japanese archery is almost the same sports. But there are some difference between them.

First, bow is different. Japanese bow is made of wood and about 2m long. While bow of archery now made of chemical material, and not so big.

Second, archery regard the hitting to the center of the target as the most important thing. But to Japanese archery, hitting to target is all same, for example, hitting to the center of the target and to the edge of the target is same 'hit'.

Third, the most important difference that I think, is the thinking way that you must get to do in doing Japanese archery
