What is a kisser?

By Leave a Comment Filed Under: What does it mean?

Errol Flynn doing… well doing the thing that Errol is second most famous for.

I doubt if even the most dedicated sports trivia freak would know what a kisser is. Yeah. I know. We could make jokes about Pepe Le Pew and his shenanigans. We could also make cracks about Errol Flynn and his favourite pastime though kissing might not be one hundred percent accurate in Errol’s case.

There is a tenuous link between a kisser in the sporting sense and Errol Flynn, however, in that one of Errol’s most famous Hollywood roles was as master archer, Robin Hood. A kisser is, in fact, a very import little tool in the modern archer’s kitbag of technical goodies.

In modern archery a kisser is a tiny little button that fits on the archer’s bow string at precisely the right place to enable the archer to know when the bow is drawn correctly and accurately. When the archer touches the kisser (on his or her bow string) to his or her anchor point, it indicates a consistent vertical distance. The name “kisser” was developed because of the lips often being used as an anchor point.

TIMOTHY EDWARDS

Tim Edwards has had a completely rubbish sporting career so it is odd that he seems so obsessed with sport and adventuring. As a basketball shooting guard he had an okay jump shot but couldn't do anything else. As a rugby hooker he spent more time puking then actually playing. As a runner he won an awful lot of consolation prize chocolates for coming fourth but almost never won a ribbon. Despite his inadequacies he still loves sport and has opinions on almost any sporting subject. Tim has spent large parts of his working life in publishing and writing roles and has even done his share of teaching sport management to Uni students. He has coached more sports teams than he cares to remember. Tim is an awful surfer and skier but his lack of competence does not bother him one little bit!
