P1_11 Bullseye!

Abstract

The farthest archery target hit ever was achieved from a distance of 330 m. In this paper we estimated that a shot of this distance would require a force of 100 N (2 s.f) to be achieved. We conclude it is within human capabilities to improve on this record but ensuring the accuracy of the shot so the target is actually hit poses a challenge to any who try to break the record.
