What is the meaning of DEX for archers

[Bill26]

But I bet thier not shooting 3-4 times in six seconds with someone shooting back.

Originally posted by Butterfingers: Also, I am guessing that most folks here have never practiced archery, excepting perhaps those plastic fantastic bows they use for high school PE. Your own physical grace means very little when using a bow. I have known folks who are stupidly clumbsy, trip over their own feet sort of folks, who are lethal crack shots with a bow.

Actually, I have extensively practised archery, and it kinda depends on what type of archery you're doing. If you are doing static target archery, then all you need is the ability to assume a position and hold it rock-steady for a period of time, and to be able to do this repeatedly.

However, if you're hunting (chasing a moving target), or doing rapid-fire, then grace and dexterity comes into the fray very very heavily. Fluid, accurate motions lead to higher success rates [img]smile.gif[/img]
