Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Integrated Bow Press and Draw Board System on Compoud Bow Precision

Abstract

Introduction: archery, particularly in the compound division, requires precise tuning of bowstring systems to achieve consistent shot accuracy. improper adjustment of string tension and cam synchronization often reduces performance even in skilled archers. Objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the bow press and draw board all-in-one system in improving the precision of compound bow string alignment and shooting accuracy. Methodology: the research adopted an experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach involving six trained university-level archers. participants practiced for four weeks using the integrated tuning system, and data on string precision were collected before and after the intervention. paired sample t-test analysis was used to determine the significance of improvements. Results: results indicated a significant increase in mean string precision scores (p < 0.05) after training, with an average improvement of 20.1 %. qualitative observations confirmed better postural stability, smoother release, and more consistent arrow grouping. Discussion: findings align with previous biomechanical studies that emphasize the influence of equipment tuning and postural control on archery performance. the integration of mechanical and digital feedback in the all-in-one system reduces alignment errors and enhances training efficiency. Conclusions: the bow press and draw board all-in-one system proved to be an effective, safe, and accessible tool to improve compound bow precision, supporting both athletic performance and coaching practice.
