3 - Light-Weight Bow Strings<br />
The lower the mass of a bowstring, the faster the arrow will be. Too<br />
thick, heavy and tightly twisted strings slow down the arrow speed and<br />
it is more difficult to hit at greater distance.<br />
Does your bow have severe handshock when using thin strings? It<br />
shows you that the tips are too heavy or the main bend of the limbs is<br />
too close to the handle; the outer limb areas do not participate enough<br />
in the overall bend and must be accelerated as dead weight. The energy<br />
required for this is no longer available to the arrow.<br />
The tips, which have too much mass and<br />
the bowstring, which is too tightly twisted<br />
and heavy, slow down the arrow speed<br />
and worsen the shooting comfort.
