Uncertainty

At the moment it’s all a learning curve for me and quite a steep on at that. Years of shooting recurve has helped me in lots of aspects of shooting my compound but I now have to think like a compound archer. So thinking like a compound archer I started thinking about draw force curves.

And this has brought a degree of uncertainty, over the past couple of weeks my main goal has been to increase my draw weight to what I will be shooting outside, and to concentrate on what I call the Ba Ba black sheep method and not to trigger the release aid.

So now looking at a draw force curve something has come into my mind, at the start the weight increase then it levels of and then decrease as I go over the Peak, into the valley and then it increases as I pull into and beyond the stops.

So looking at the draw force curve in reverse and taking into effect the results on the arrow by pulling into and against the stops is the arrow doing the following:-
From release a rapid increase in speed, then it [B]Slows down ??[/B] and then an increase in speed again, so should I be shooting somewhere in the middle of the valley or is what I am currently doing ok and what effect will it have on my arrow groups.

I really don’t know?
