The Role of Arrow Cushion Plunger

When we watch the slow-motion replays of the Olympic Games, we can see the arrow swinging in the air. When the arrow is off the string, the side pad will absorb the swinging force of the arrow, better repair the flight of the arrow shaft in the air, and reduce the amplitude of the swing.

The function of the arrow side pad is to absorb the twisting of the arrow shaft bending and reduce and stabilize the frequency of the twisting. This depends on the pressure adjustment bolt to increase or decrease the pressure of the arrow side pad, that is, to make the elastic piston soft or hard. The hardness of the arrow side pad is based on the deflection of the arrow shaft.

When shooting and releasing the arrow, the arrow will swing. The swing amplitude is related to the release and the hardness of the arrow. The arrow side pad is also a fulcrum. If the arrow is hard, the side pad is adjusted to be soft, and if the arrow is soft, the side pad is adjusted to be hard. In addition, the tail of the arrow swings greatly due to the release action. Therefore, the side pad of our recurve bow is very important under its function, so it can also be said that the side pad mainly determines the shooting accuracy of our bow and arrow

1. The arrow side pad has an elastic piston installed in a threaded metal shell. There are two threaded rods on the metal shell, one main screw is used to fix the arrow side pad on the bow handle, and the other is at the back to adjust the pressure. Adjusting the pressure adjustment bolt can increase or decrease the pressure of the arrow side pad.

The arrow side pad is used with the arrow rest. The arrow rest must be adjusted to make the center of the arrow and the center line of the arrow side pad in line. .

2. To adjust the left and right positions of the arrow side pad, you can stand the bow upright after the arrow is put on, stand behind the bow to look at the position of the string shadow, and when aligning the center line of the bow body, look at the arrow position.
