One for the scientifically minded amongst us.
Whilst shooting indoors tonight I shared a target with a barebow archer who was string walking, first time I have shot with someone doing this. I was particularly drawn to to sound of his bow on release and how it subtly changed as his finger placement changed.
As a guitarist I am well acquainted with string vibration, harmonics and nodes and with this in mind I wondered that if the release fingers fall off the node for a natural harmonic then will the associated string vibration on release have an adverse effect on arrow impact point at the target face
I.E. Assuming the nocking point falls on a node with a 'one over, two under' release then is any vibration created at the same nocking point with an alternative release hand placement causing the node points to shift translated into the arrow affecting its flight and ultimate impact point ?
I could of course be massively over thinking this
