The present study is intended to show the potential influence which shooting intervals may have on the record of archery players. For this purpose, six players were chosen and the means and standard deviation of their shooting intervals were measured in the games for selecting the representative players for the 24th Olympic Games. The means and standard deviation were correlated with the records in 30m, 50m, 60m, 70m, and 90m shooting, which are the regular events in the Olympiad.
The most ideal pattern of the three intervals, as was show by player LHS, was somewhere near 16.25", 19.08", and 21.75", their standard deviations boing measured as 4.81", 9.08", and 7.92", respectively. In general, the player whose first interval was shorter than the second, which in turn was shorter than third, smarked comparatively good records. Sinilarly, the record appeared worse in the player whose last interval was shorter than the second.
In sum, since there has been investigated through this survey a high correlation between the interval and the record, it seems necessary for the betterment of the record to establish an appropriate shooting interval pattern for each player according to his/ner various inner and outer factors.
