Do arrows go up or down?
Archery is aptly named as all arrows fly in an “arch.” In nearly all cases (unless shooting at a target downhill) the arrow will begin its flight at an upward angle, peak at some point, then arch downwards until it hits the target. However, the archer is looking in a straight line at the intended target.
Why are my arrows curving?
The wind, alignment issues in the bow, torquing the bow, and canting the bow can all cause the arrow to drift. It is important to remember that a drifting arrow will not be as noticeable when you’re shooting close up. The further you back away from the target, the more the arrow will drift.
Which way do arrows point?
A common approach is for the arrow to point right when the content is closed and down when the content is open. The right-pointing arrow indicates there is something else to progress to; the downwards arrow leads the eye towards the newly revealed content.

What happens when one cam reaches the draw stop?

What should the line be on a cam lean bow?
Holding the arrow against the cam, it should cast a line down the centre of the limbs and riser. Do not compare your arrow to the string, as the string will be slightly off due to its fitting position on the bottom cam.
What happens when you move the cam on a bow?
By moving the angle of the cam, you will automatically cause a slight adjustment to the position of the string in relation to the riser. There is a common myth that your top cam or wheel must be straight up vertically in order for it to be set correctly.

How does a CaM affect a bow’s performance?
Some cams are more efficient than others and will transfer more energy to the arrow, changing the spine. The material and number of strands your bow’s string and cables are made out of will also greatly affect the bow’s performance, which is a direct correlation to the bow’s affect on the spine of your arrow.
