NO.1  Techniques of Lamination

tip: As it shows in the picture, the materials for making Weiyang include epoxy resin, maple and bamboo. Because of bamboo, Weiyang performs well in its ability of storing energy, flexible rebounce and high energy efficiency. It is a little difficult to stick limbs together, so you’d better take bow strings off bows.

NO.2  Hard Bow Tips

tip: Bow tips and the whole body of Weiyang are likely to distort and deform when soft bow tips themselves are pulled. The tensile force of the bow limbs disperses in a balanced way and the vibration is small, which leads to Weiyang’s relatively high efficient kinetic energy. Weiyang’s speed is fast while it may be not so comfortable for people to use.

NO.3  Balance and Equilibrium

tip: Weiyang is suitable for beginners at archery, for we never pursue the extreme in its performance. It is characterized as the balance and equilibrium of every aspect of its performance. It explains the reason why Weiyang is suitable for beginners at archery among laminated bows.

NO.4  Dispersal

tip: We conducted several rounds of tests with shooting 12 arrows as a group irrespective of individual skills and external disturbance to observe the dispersal of arrows on the target. According to the picture, there are 2 arrows in the blue zone, 6 arrows in the red zone and 4 arrows in the yellow zone. The dispersal of arrows is not satisfying, so we can only get 6 scores.
