What does ''follow-through mean in archery and why is it important?

The follow-through is what comes immediately after the release and is a combination of actions that you, the archer, do until the arrow hits the target. After your hand has come back from the release, as only one example, your bow arm should stay up and pointing at the target until the arrow has hit. It is important, because if you just drop your bow arm before the arrow has cleared -- gotten past -- the bow, it will cause the arrow to hit low on the target.

What do you do in archery?

This can depend on what kind of shoot you are doing, but there are certain rules that are universal, they are:

1. When someone shouts "FAST", stop shooting immediately until the danger has been removed safely. Please note that alternative words such as "STOP" may be used.

2. If you see a person or animal or any other hazard around the targets that is not intended to be shot, call "FAST" immediately to stop the shooting until the danger is gone.

3. Never step beyond the shooting line (if applies), unless you know everyone has shot and it is safe to collect your arrows.

4. Never run towards a target when collecting your arrows, if you trip, you can impale your eye or your neck with the nock of an arrow.

5. Before pulling an arrow out of a target, always check behind you to see that nobody is checking your/their score, otherwise there is a risk you could impale their eye with an arrow nock.

Remember, some of these rules may seem a little bit over the top sometimes, but there have been many real life incidents where terrible things have happened. However, do not be put off from this, because in every such incident, people were foolish and did not follow the rules, and such happenings are very rare.

What is the best silencer for a bow?

The answer depends on what the archer wants out of a silencer. A "string tamer" is an excellent choice to add because it stops string slap and significantly reduces vibration without any loss in arrow speed. If you add "spiders" or an equivalent thereof, you will experience a decrease in arrow speed...albeit by only a few feet per second. This addition can be nullified with the additional use of speed balls; however, an after market adaptation like the speed ball may increase wear on the string. Another vibration/silencer dampener is a good stabilizer. These are but a few of the things you can do to silence a bow.
