Archery Physics - Developing The Right Skills

By Frank MacMillan


When you're practicing your archery and you shoot an arrow towards the prospective target, the arrow seems to be progressing straight. However, that is certainly untrue. There's much more to it than that.

As the arrow is released from the bow, there's an extremely substantial amount of kinetic energy created. Consequently, this provokes the arrow to bend from side to side, until it then finally gets to the target. Nevertheless, this flexing process occurs inside a mere fraction of a second.

The spine, or rigidity of the arrow has a significant part in establishing how much it is going to flex. If the spine is weak, it is going to cause the arrow to flex excessively. That significantly reduces arrow speed and additionally penetration, and your shot will not as powerful as it might have been. In the event the spine is just too strong, the arrow will not likely flex (vibrate) correctly, which will cut down on precision. The release force of your bow represents a major function in pinpointing what spine strength you need to use.

The Fletchings or Feathers Accuracy is likewise determined by the fletchings - or the feathers on the arrow. The fletchings will have to be in good condition.

How to Shoot

There is lots of dialogue on the proper way to shoot a bow and the way to aim. In order to be precise, you must sight down the arrow shaft and not the center of the bow. You can use mechanical things like peep sights, distance measuring devices, etc., yet this is all designed to make it easier to sight down the arrow shaft and figure out the gravitational trajectory of your shot. Specialist archers rarely make use of mechanical equipment. | You will recognize that expert together with seasoned archers rarely ever use archery accessories. If you're a right-handed shooter, after you sight along the arrow shaft, the median center of the bow will automatically end up being offset a specific distance to the right of targets center. The contrary is valid if you're a lefty. The reason being, your arrow is skewed, (angled) from bow center, where the arrow is nocked on the string, to where it butts up against the side of the bow or arrow shelf. Regardless of the skew, and all of the arrow bending occurring, it will move down a route as based on sighting from the rear to the front of the arrow shaft directly in line along with the intended target.
