ARROWS: DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR
Arrows do rather a lot in the few moments they spend in the air. They flex vertically and laterally, rotate about their centre of mass in both planes (pitch and yaw) and about their longitudinal axis (roll). Ideally, we would like very little pitch and yaw – we would like to see our arrows fly straight. They will inevitably flex due to the high forces on them during the bow’s power stroke, and we need them to do so in order to have them clear the bow. We would also like them to roll in order to average out small inconsistencies in
