How can Archery benefit from Data Analysis?

All results on the target are subject to statistical dispersion. No archer in the world is able to hit exactly and repeatedly the same point. Question: If we only can get dispersed results on the target, how can we draw valid conclusions regarding the tuning of the material or regarding our shooting technique?

This is exactly what data analysis does. Also we as humans undertake data analysis when we perceive several arrows as forming a group and find that the group is 'too high'. Or, we calculate simple key figures such as number of points per arrow. Insofar, data analysis is a well-known concept, but not always called that way and not yet used to its full potential.

Really interesting would be to analyze many arrows belonging to many ends or to a whole week. However, we can not do this ourselves because we cannot memorize all the arrow positions and then 'see' them as a single group. The solution is: measure and record all arrow positions and later do the analysis using advanced data analysis algorithms. This is what RyngDyng does for you.
