What is “LOCKTIME” and how it AFFECTS ACCURACY?

Спорт

When it comes to compound bows there’s lots to think about with how your bows cam design can affect your accuracy. The term that I talk about in this video is “locktime” which is fractions of a second when the release or your fingers let go of the string and how long it takes for the arrow to pass through the bow system. For my personal set ups this is relative to only about 18,000 of a second, however that moment which is faster than a blink of an eye gives you a lot of time to make technique mistakes that instantly show up down range. Learning to repeat what you do during that blink of an eye is one of the secrets to being the best on the range.

    I shoot fingers right hand and a release lefty. Both side I have a short lock time unless I’m shooting longer ranges. Great advice as always! Thank you

    You spoke on it a little bit, but I’d love a more in depth video on how let off affects your accuracy. On a both with 3 different let offs how do I figure out which one is right for me? Because apparently the con to a 85% let off is that anything I do after hitting my release will affect the arrow more than if I used 70%.

    I would think lock time would be the time you are staring through your peep and waiting for the releas to fire, I think that would have way more affect on arrow flight then the split second it’s floating next to your face.

    Most people will take away from this the wrong point, and believe “light arrows with high let off is better.”

    Human error is the main cause of missed shots. Removing the allowance for human error is the best way to increase consistency. Yeah there should a priority of improving form but the main idea is correct.

    I’m sure brace height has an issue also since it is on the string longer.

    TL;DR. Brace height does not have a significant effect on lock time. It's critical to accuracy because of geometry and physics, but not because of time on string. For a 30" draw it's actually 28.25" between the string at full draw and the throat of the grip. With a 6" brace height is actually 22.25" of power stroke. 7" brace height is 21.25" brace height. It's 4.5% longer travel, and given acceleration of the string it'll be less than 4% additional time on the string for most bows. The ~14.3% increase in level arm length and further increase of limb/string length ratio at full draw is what accounts for the accuracy. This is measured as length of the limbs that extend beyond the throat of the grip. Let's say that at full draw the limbs bend back an additional half inch, that means that of the 28.25" true draw length the limbs account for 6.5" on a 6" BH bow. The greater the relative length of the limbs to the string (assuming all other harmonics are the same) the less variance in the string upon release. A 7" brace height bow will have ~35% limb length to string length, as opposed to ~29% on a 6" bow. Ignoring the trigonometry, the more the limbs contribute to draw length, the more stable the bow.

    Gee sh! How about you just practice (More than 2 days before season). Ive been bow hunting when cables on a bow were real steal cables and we didn't know any of this stuff and killed hundreds of deer.
