Fourteen archers Group I: The Recurve Archery RA : n=5, Group II: Compound Archery CA : n=4, Group III: Traditional Archery TA : n=5 participated voluntary in the study. An 9281EA BioKistler Force Plate system was used to obtain objective measurements in medio-lateral Ay and anterio-posterior Ax directions of the sway of COP during the trials.The RA group displayed a slower COP sway range when compared to the CA and TA groups. The findings of this research suggest that archer drawing weight may affect shooting performance, especially during the releasing phase due to a shift in body weight COP}, number={2}, publisher={Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Üniversitesi}
