Plots and Visualizations
Components Testing
Visualizes component-test results across vanes, broadheads, and the standard-speed / high-speed protocols.
Components | Standard Speed Vanes
Per-build drag, accuracy, restorative lift, and fly-by noise for every vane configuration shot from the standard-speed rig, plus the vane-vs-broadhead sound subtest.
Components | Standard Speed Broadheads
Per-build drag, accuracy, and noise for each broadhead and point shot from the standard-speed rig.
Components | High Speed Vanes
Restorative lift and grouping for each vane configuration shot from the high-speed rig.
Components | High Speed Broadheads
Per-build accuracy for each broadhead and point shot from the high-speed rig.
Components | Standard Speed vs. High Speed
Parity scatter for every configuration tested under both protocols: standard-speed value on X, high-speed value on Y.
Front-of-Center Testing
Groups the front-of-center plots by what they can safely tell us: isolated regression effects, per-build intervals, exploratory scatters, and slow-motion early-flight behavior.
Statistical Analysis
Front-of-Center Isolated Effects
Regression-based forest plots that show the isolated statistical effects of front-of-center after controlling for related build variables. See the FoC analysis methods for details on the model design.
Front-of-Center Confidence Intervals
Per-build front-of-center metrics with confidence intervals where the underlying measurements support them, including grouping, spacing, lateral drift, and torque-response summaries.
Exploratory Scatters
Front-of-Center Scatters
Two- and color-encoded three-variable scatter plots for the front-of-center matrix. They are useful for exploration, but may be misleading as effect evidence because FoC cannot be moved without also moving weight, spine, speed, or related build variables.
Slow-Motion Video
Front-of-Center Early Flight Yaw
Raw per-frame yaw measurements from the slow-motion video, shown by build with fitted trajectory curves overlaid for each torque state.
