  2. Archer's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer's_paradox

    An arrow with too much dynamic spine for the bow will not flex and as the string comes closer to the bow stave, the arrow will be forced off to the side. Too little dynamic spine will result in the arrow deforming too much and being propelled off to the other side of the target. In extreme cases, the arrow may break before it can accelerate ...

  5. Boat anchor (metaphor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat_anchor_(metaphor)

    The term boat anchor has been extended to software code [6] that is left in a system's codebase, typically in case it is needed later. This is an example of an anti-pattern and therefore can cause many problems for people attempting to maintain the program that contains the obsolete code. The key problem comes from the fact that programmers ...

  6. Bowstring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowstring

    A bowstring joins the two ends of the bow stave and launches the arrow. Desirable properties include light weight, strength, resistance to abrasion, and resistance to water. Mass has most effect at the center of the string; one gram (0.035 oz) of extra mass in the middle of the string slows the arrow about as much as 3.5 grams (0.12 oz) at the ...

  7. Compound bow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_bow

    Modern compound bows are typically equipped with substantially stiffer arrows than an equivalent draw-length and draw-weight recurve bow would be. Another advantage of the center-shot riser is that the arrow need not bend around the riser (nearly as much or at all) during the shot. Fine-tuning may be accomplished by adjustment of the arrow rest ...

  9. Archery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archery

    Typical arrows with three vanes should be oriented such that a single vane, the "cock feather", is pointing away from the bow, to improve the clearance of the arrow as it passes the arrow rest. A compound bow is fitted with a special type of arrow rest, known as a launcher, and the arrow is usually loaded with the cock feather/vane pointed ...
