Arrow riding” refers to a situation where the arrow does not leave the arrow rest or bow window cleanly during release, but instead “rides” along it or slides.

Causes:

  • Incorrect nocking point
  • Improper spine
  • Faulty center-shot alignment
  • Poor fletching setup
  • Technical errors in release

Consequences:

  • Unstable arrow flight
  • Increased grouping spread
  • Lateral or vertical deviations

Detection:

  • Observed in a bare-shaft or paper test
  • Wear marks on the rest or bow window
