Understanding Arrow Speed
Key Factors
- • Draw weight affects power transfer
- • Draw length influences power stroke
- • Arrow weight impacts speed and energy
- • Bow efficiency determines energy transfer
- • Arrow spine affects flight stability
Speed vs. Energy
- • Faster isn't always better
- • Consider intended use
- • Balance with accuracy
- • Match to shooting style
- • Account for conditions
