Does a “dry release” actually hurt your bow? If so, why?
In: Physics
For the same reason you’re more likely to injure yourself if you full-power throw a light ball versus a heavy one. If the balls is heavy all that stored kinetic energy in your arm has somewhere to go – the ball. If its light then most of the energy remains in your arm and has to dissipate through the joints and ligaments which can cause pain and injury.
Same thing with the bow.
