A common reason for a string popping off a compound bow is improper alignment or installation. This can be caused by a twisted or worn-out string, improper draw weight adjustment, or a damaged cam system. It's important to regularly inspect and maintain your bow to prevent such issues.

a bow lift is when you lift the bow off the violin strings and move to another part of the bow then place it back on the string. for example if you needed to do 2 down strokes in a row, you would start with the bottom of the bow (or the frogue) on the string then pull the bow to the tip. you would then lift the bow off the string and place it back at the frogue and pull the bow again.

This is how one should release the bowstring?

depending on what kind of bow you have, you release different ways. if you have a re curve or long bow, you hold the string with 3 fingers, your index above the knock, and middle and ring below. you pull the string back towards your ear, aim and slowly straighten your fingers, allowing the string to slip off. its important not to jerk the string, because it throws off your shot. if you have a compound bow, chances are you are using a release, which is attached to your wrist and u simply pull a trigger to release the string.

How do I change the draw length on a youth compound bow?

Draw the bow to full draw and hold it. Have your assistant place a nail in the small round hole in the bottom of each pulley wheel and then slowly let the pressure off of the bow string. Unhook the looped bowstring from the metal string connectors and set aside. Slide the connectors up and away from the bow limbs and pull them out of the pulley wheels. Move the connectors to a new hole or position on the wheels (a higher hole if you want the draw length shorter or a lower hole if you want the draw length longer). Reconnect the string to the metal string connectors and draw the bow to full draw again. Have your assistant pull the nails out of the pulley wheels and then let the bow down slowly. This process can also be performed by using a bow press to depress the bow's limbs and then changing the draw length in the same manner.

Why does your arrow kick sideways when you shoot your recurve bow?

You could be plucking the bow string, make sure to shoot with your finger tips only, remain still (arms, body and head)and release the string off the tips. Your arrow rest could be protruding to much, causing the arrow to richochet off it. Your arrow could be to thin for the poundage of the bow, causing it to warp on release. Make sure that you 'nock' the arrow properly. Your arrow might not be the right spline weight for your bow.

How do you shoot arrows using bows?

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.
