In the following example, some technical parameters of a bow (modelled on a recurve bow) are roughly determined and visualized on the basis of various simplified parameters. These include the maximum arrow speed, the maximum range, the draw weight, the peak draw weight, and the specific arrow weight (in grain per pound / gpp) based on the draw length and the arrow weight.

The weight of the arrow can be varied using the corresponding slider.
