3 Equipment Changes That Transformed Archery Completely

Evolution is the habit of nature. Whether it's biological, fitness-wise, fashion-related, lifestyle, mindset, or even a sport like archery, nothing can escape change. Archery is an ancient sport. Earlier, there was no fancy and well-designed archery bow stand holder or bow rack available for an archery range. Competitive practitioners who wanted to increase their arrows' speed and reduce travel time had to draw heavy weights and long draw lengths. Due to the heaviness and practice of improper draw lengths, many archers would sacrifice their form, stance, and accuracy. Modern archery has come a long way since its origin. Over time, the developments that took place made it easy for archers and professionals to achieve more efficiency and accuracy in their target practice. This blog will be sharing three monumental design changes that changed archery forever. 

EVOLUTION OF CAM

Evolving from small, concentric wheels to large ones with the capacity to create acute string angles, compound bows have indeed come a long way. Available in various sizes and weights (from 70 lbs to 90 lbs), the modern ones provide a smoother draw cycle with minimal effort. 

EVOLUTION OF BOWSTRING MATERIAL

String tends to pose quite a dilemma for the archers of the past. In general, it would take at least 150-200 arrow shots just to incorporate sufficient stretch in place. Now, archers don't have to worry about tuning in much and losing the stretch to keep their game on point. 

EVOLUTION OF CABLE AND LIMB STOPS

The entire game of archery revolves around accuracy. The modern take on cable and limb stops transformed mushy back walls into a sturdy and solid stop. The stops' robust material and design made it possible for archers to achieve consistency with their targets and prevent the string from creeping in at full draw. 

With more and more people turning to archery (either professionally or mere hobby), the competition to put out the latest advancement and better design keeps going on.
