Key FormulaFormula
Compound let-off reduces holding weight 65–80%.
Practice StandardStandard
3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.
Draw Weight Rule
Start at 60–70% of your maximum draw weight — overbowing destroys form.
Arrow Spine Match
Use a spine calculator to match arrow stiffness to bow weight and draw length.
Professional Setup
Have your first bow set up by a pro shop — improper setup causes injury and inaccuracy.
Safety Notes
- Never point a drawn bow at a person.
- Always check the range is clear before shooting and wait for the all-clear signal.
