When the bowstring is pulled back fully, it is referred to as "full draw." This position is crucial for achieving optimal power and accuracy when shooting an arrow. At full draw, the archer aims and prepares to release the arrow, ensuring proper alignment and stability.
Anchoring
To draw back the bowstring.
The idea is that you are supposed to draw back to the same point on your face every time you shoot, this part of your face is called the "anchor point", having an anchor point drastically improves shooting consistency.
When a slingshot is pulled back all the way, it is often referred to as being "fully drawn" or "fully cocked." At this point, the elastic potential energy is maximized, allowing for maximum force when the projectile is released. The tension in the elastic material provides the necessary energy to propel the projectile forward when the slingshot is released.
A nock (with no K) is the groove at the back of an arrow. The bowstring fits into that groove. I could not shoot the arrow, since the nock had broken, and the bowstring would slip.
Placing an arrow against the bow string is notching the arrow, and pulling the bow string back ready to release the arrow is drawing the bow.
I don't know the exact time, but I would comfortable say about 2-3 days for it to fully grow back. -Brett
Time seemed to stop as I was drawing back the bowstring. I'll never forget the looks on their faces as they were drawing back in horror.
IF you are referring to firing in the single action mode, the phrase "pulling back the hammer" is used.
The bowstring is drawn back, and caught by a mechanism that holds it in the drawn position. A crossbow bolt (arrow) is placed in the groove in the center, ahead of the string. Pulling the trigger releases the string, and fires the bolt. Some crossbows require a lever or winding mechanism to draw back the bowstring.
The archer is imparting potential energy to the bowstring by drawing it back. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when the bowstring is released, propelling the arrow forward.
Yes, because in drawing the string back you put potential energy into it.
