The relationship between the aiming trajectory within the one-second aiming time interval counted before the releasing instance and the corresponding target location has been studied in this paper. In this study, twelve specialists from the archery team of National College of Physical Education and Sports attended this research. Four rounds with three arrows for each round are conducted in the range of 70m distance, so each archer shot twelve arrows. To record the aiming trajectory, a laser pen is mounted on the bow. Meanwhile two JVC digital video cameras are located in front of the archer and the target for capturing the archer’s aiming trajectory and the target coordinates, respectively. Based on the captured data, the APAS (Ariel Performance Analysis System) motion analysis system is used to obtain the vertical and horizontal target coordinates, and this information are thus used to analyze the correlations between the aiming trajectory and the target location along the horizontal (x), vertical (y), and radial (r) directions, respectively. Results of this research are as follows. (i)For the eighth archer in the aiming interval 0.6~0.7 second before the releasing, the deviation of the aiming trajectory along the radial direction has an obviously negative correlation (p<0.05) with that of the target coordinates along the same direction. (ii)Among the twelve archers under test, three archers have obvious negative correlations (p<0.05) between the deviations of the aiming trajectory within the one-second aiming time interval and the target location along the horizontal direction. A further analysis based on 0.1 second sub-time interval shows that for seven archers, the above negative correlation becomes more and more seriously as the aiming sub-time interval approaches the releasing instance. (iii)For the recorded one-second aiming time interval, there are four archers who have obvious positive correlations (p<0.05) between the deviations of the aiming trajectory and the target location along the vertical direction. This indicates that for these archers, the target coordinate is heavily influenced by the fluctuation of the aiming trajectory along the vertical direction.
