Why is shooting in the air strictly prohibited?

When we go to the archery hall to practice archery, we can always see a big and eye-catching slogan: "It is strictly prohibited to release the string without an arrow!" Why is it strictly prohibited to release the string without an arrow? What about drawing the bow and releasing the string without nocking the arrow)?

There are two specific reasons

1. It is easy to damage the equipment

The structure of the bow and arrow is to pull the bow string to drive the bow blade, and when releasing, the bow blade returns The elastic pulls the arrow on the string to fly out. If there is no arrow on the string, the huge force of the rebound of the bow piece will completely act on the bow piece itself. A durable bow piece can still withstand it, but an unresistant bow piece will break directly. , and no matter how durable the limbs are, there is always the risk of the bow tipping over.

2. Endangering personal safety

For large-pound bows (from 60 pounds), basically there is still a lot of kinetic energy on the bow string that has not been released after the limbs are broken. If there is no structural protection, the bow string icon can directly cut into the wrist. Even with the structural protection of the bow, a large-pound bow will cause hidden dangers to the archer's personal safety if the posture is incorrect when shooting.
