What is the function of recurve bow side pad?

First of all, the arrow must bend at the moment of deployment, because the force on the bow is transferred to the arrow, and the arrow will have a serpentine trajectory, which can be corrected to some extent by pressing the button. According to the hardness of the arrow used, the hardness of the arrow side pad will be adjusted relatively, and the bending of the arrow at the moment of deployment will be eliminated as much as possible. Arrows also have their own correction methods after going out. The longer the distance, the more common the repaired arrow feathers are. Three main feathers (different colors) point to themselves. This is to ensure that the arrow keeps an aerodynamic structure as much as possible during the flight, flying in a straight line instead of flying around. As you can imagine, something at the tail of the rocket has a similar effect. There is also a kind of arrow feather called rotor, which, as the name implies, means that the arrow feather is rotating, which is more in line with fluid mechanics, so as to ensure that the arrow stays straight during flight and is additionally corrected.

There is also the most important issue, that is, archers. If you can't spread out neatly when you start work, then no equipment can help you.

There is another suggestion that I wrote for beginners in recurve bow before. I can read it when I have time.
