Want this question answered?
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 wish i knew but i dont so go suck it
There is no energy there until the bow string is stretched. The human arm pulling back on the bow string is the source of the energy which is stored mechanically in the flexure of the bow and converted into the kinetic energy of the arrows flight when the archer releases the arrow.
The sport with the bow and arrow is called archery, just to let you know. First, you grab a arrow and grab the string of the bow, which is the curved rod with the string. Then put the arrow in a sideways position right attached to the string of the bow. Pull the arrow back, allowing the string to move over to your position. Then, aim carefully. Next, you release the arrow with the string. The arrow will move faster depending how far you pull the string towards you. The objective is to hit the target. There are different spots that are worth different points on the target. If you hit the middle of the target with your arrow, you will receive the maximum amount of points possible. Keep repeating this process until you are a pro at archery.:).

The principle works off the leverage worked up when pulling back on the bow string, all the force of the leverage is concentrated into one point - the end of the arrow, when the bow string is released all the compressed energy sends the arrow flying through the air.
a bow string
it's actually very simple and easy to use a bow and arrow all you have to do is put the end of the arrow on the string (the arrow will have a little slit where you can put the string in) you aim at your target and pull the string straight back and you will get a perfect shot :)
it is the stick and the string that shoots the arrow
I'm no hunter, but there is something that come around the butt of the arrow and releases it causing it to shoot. This means that the potential energy is stored in the elastic/rubber/string thing that launches the arrow Actually the energy is stored in the bow, all the string provides is tension. as you pull the string back, the distance between the bow tips gets pulled in, spreading the potential evenly around the entire bow. Upon pulling the trigger, the bow is allowed to relax back into shape, pulling the string taught, and forcing the arrow forward. If you were to try and use the string as a store (IE. a rubberised string), there would be much less area to hold potential, and as a result you would have to pull the string considerably further back than the tip spacing of a crossbow (think slingshot).
No, a crossbow and a bow and arrow are not the same thing.a crossbow fires bolts not arrows, the string is drawn back using a winch, and is fired by pulling a trigger to release the stringa bow fires arrows, the string is drawn back by hand, and is fired simply by releasing the string from your fingersCrossbow bolts will penetrate plate metal armor while arrows fired from bows cannot.
The arrow rest for a recurve bow should be on the left side to you while you are holding the grip of a right handed bow (pulling the string with your right hand while holding your bow with your left).
