The difference between barebow and hunting bow？

To be honest, the American hunting is more developed than that in China, and it is at the father level compared to China. It is just because others play the hunting route. There is no good environment in China. Most people play American hunting for competition, and there is a distance between production and playing methods.
However, barebows are also a new thing in the United States, and they are not much ahead of domestic ones. As for the difference between the two, let's analyze it from three perspectives: arrow rest, counterweight, and bow body.

1. Bow handle counterweight
The barebow handle has front and rear counterweights, and the center of gravity of the bow can be changed by adding counterweights, such as the competitive recurve bow with front counterweights. Remove the sight balance lever clicker, etc. and you can use it as a barebow. Friends who don't know what counterweights are can refer to the "Barebow Center of Gravity Problem and Addition of Counterweights" published before.

American hunting cannot be counterweighted. The bow handle is simple in design and there is no reserved position for counterweights. The slippery bow handle tells its flexibility and convenience, highlighting its hunting nature.

2. Arrow rest difference
Meililie uses the bow window as the arrow rest, which can increase the archery speed, shorten the preparation time, and quickly strike when encountering prey. However, due to the large contact area between the arrow and the arrow rest, it is easy to affect the flight trajectory of the arrow. This is very obvious in low-pound Meilie. This situation can be avoided through experience, and secondly, the poundage of the bow is increased. High-pound bows will avoid this shortcoming because of the kinetic energy.

The arrow rest of the bare bow is to add a patch arrow rest on the bow window. This is a detail treatment for the arrow point, which reduces the contact area between the arrow and the arrow rest, and has better consistency and fault tolerance in shooting. But compared with Meilie, it does not have the flexibility and convenience of Meilie, and has higher requirements on microscopic aspects, such as the problem of arrow dropping caused by the string not being hooked in place, etc.

2. Bow body comparison
If you compare the Meilie bow with the light bow, the Meilie bow handle is much smaller than the light bow. In terms of use, the small feature can make a faster response when hunting in the jungle. In terms of shooting accuracy, the longer the bow body is, the better the error tolerance is, which is conducive to shooting accuracy.
Under the same draw length and poundage, the longer the bow body, the better the stability!

Under the same draw length and poundage, the longer the bow body, the smaller the deformation of the bow piece, and the smaller the vibration caused by the release and rebound, so the stability is very good. Secondly, the process of converting potential energy into kinetic energy is very short, which can avoid the interference caused by the release.

Similarly, under the same draw length and poundage, the shorter the bow body, the greater the deformation of the bow piece, and the greater the vibration caused by the release and rebound. Because the energy conversion distance is too long, it will amplify the interference caused by the release.
It is too difficult to draw a comparison chart of the deformation of the bow limbs. In fact, the bow tips of the two bows are not on the same vertical line.

Field characteristics The purpose of the Meilie determines its bow type, such as lightness, flexibility, simple assembly, etc. If it is a cross-bow type and cross-field competitive PK, it is relatively disadvantaged; in its hunting field, the barebow is very disadvantaged; people often ask what the difference between the Meilie and the barebow is, but in fact the people who ask have never touched the competition-level barebow. The barebow in the archery hall is a competition recurve bow with various accessories removed, leaving a patch arrow rest, which is a barebow. It seems that there is not much difference, it is nothing more than an extra patch arrow rest. In fact, the competition-level barebow has a very rigorous set of data for shock absorption, center of gravity, energy conversion and other issues.
