Archery Mechanics

Archery mechanics involve the transfer of energy from the archer to the arrow through the bow. When an archer pulls back the bowstring, they store potential energy. Releasing the string converts this into kinetic energy, propelling the arrow forward. Factors like draw weight (force needed to pull the string), the draw length (how far back the string is pulled), and the stiffness of the bow influence arrow speed and accuracy. Proper form, consistent anchoring, and aim help ensure the arrow travels along a predictable path, maximizing precision and distance.
