Multi-function bow tuning, Archery, Sports performanceAbstract
Introduction: Precision and accuracy of the bow are very important for athletes, but there is still a lack of tools to improve the consistency of compound bows.
Objective: The aim of this research is to develop a tool to facilitate the arc adjustment process.
Methodology: The development model used in this research uses five phases in one cycle, namely ADDIE.
Results: The effectiveness test was conducted on 30 compound archery athletes aged 19-22 years. The treatment was given for 16 meetings.
Discussion: The conclusion of this study is that the electric bow press and manual draw board all-in-one system to improve precision, consistency, and accuracy in compound archery athletes is feasible to be implemented. The electric bow press and manual draw board all-in-one system are effective for improving precision, consistency, and accuracy in compound archery athletes. The form of the tool consists of 1 tool that summarizes 3 uses.
Conclusions: For coaches, the all-in-one system press tool can be used to improve precision, consistency, and accuracy of archery. The suggestion for further researchers is that this all-in-one system press tool needs to be further developed to be better.
