Bare bow-center of gravity problem and weight

When shooting arrows, because the push point of the bow is below the arrow rest, an unweighted bare bow will rotate toward the archer when the bow is opened, which is called flipping.

In order to avoid holding the bow in barebow competitions, for barebows without a balance bar, adding weights to the bottom of the bow handle has become the only way to solve the problem. At present, in domestic barebow competitions, a large number of players add weights to the competitive bow handle to try to solve the problem of the center of gravity of the bow handle. Currently, the weights are front weights and built-in configurations;

After testing and comparison, the front weight shown in the figure above is not ideal: the front weight is too close to the push point and too close to the center of the bow handle, so the effect of suppressing the flip is not obvious and is not very useful; the biggest problem is that the front weight will amplify the vibration of the bow body. If the bow handle generates lateral force to the left and right, the left and right rotation of the bow body will be increased, and the bow handle must be clamped. Even if the weight is removed and a bolt is left on it, the bow vibration will be significantly increased, so the front weight has more disadvantages than advantages.

The aluminum weight set is 270 grams, with a built-in weight of 150 grams. After installation, it can significantly solve the problem of the bow handle flipping up, and will not produce additional vibration. At the same time, a weight plate can be installed at the lower bow position, so that it will not cause obvious bow vibration, and can also enhance the ejection feeling of the bow handle.
