Bowyers Bible Arrow Impact Explanation - Is it wrong?
mullet:
aero, yes. That's what I was meaning.
Justin Snyder:
It is pretty obvious they meant right handed since they show the arrow going around the left of the riser. I remember reading that when the book first came out and getting really confused by it. Im with Art, it is backward.
hillbilly61:
Too stiff fly left. To light fly right. (right hand bow) A need for that page in the book, is to have it revised. If you shoot arrows this happens all the time, and right away you know the arrow is over or under spined
Gary Mac:
Hi Mullet
The chapter definately refers to the actual flight impact in relation to the target and not the arrow lean or fletching, but I know where you are coming from though.
I have tracked down the author of that particular chapter in the book: Gabriela Cosgrove at Kustom King Arrows. I sent an email this morning asking about this
part of her article.
If I recieve a response, I will gladly paste her reply in this thread.
Gary Mac:
Reply from the Author:
You are absolutely correct.
If you are right handed, and your arrow is over spined for your bow, the arrow will “hit” to the left.
As my husband and I are both lefties, the description correlates to our shooting practice.
Sorry for the confusion.
That is an error in the chapter.
Sincerely, Gabriela
