Welcome to PNL Testers - Your Archery Data Specialists

At PNL Testers, we focus on physics-driven archery research using real measurements, controlled testing, and transparent data. Our goal is to help archers understand arrow stability, drag, accuracy, penetration physics, and bow efficiency using proven scientific methods, not folklore or personal opinions.

All research includes charts, raw data files, velocity logs, and fully repeatable testing procedures.

Real-World Testing & Field Experience

We combine controlled lab testing with real hunts and 3D shooting. The photos below are from field setups we’ve tested—so the data you see on this site reflects how arrows actually behave in the real world.

What We Test

 

  • Arrow stability & recovery distance

  • Form drag (Fd) & drag coefficient (Cd)

  • Velocity loss over distance & time-of-flight

  • Precision (mean radius) & repeatability

Beyond the Ordinary

At PNL Testers, we move past opinions and folklore by relying on real measurements, controlled testing, and physics-based analysis. Our research is designed to be transparent, repeatable, and useful to everyday archers as well as advanced shooters. We focus on data that matters, stability, drag, accuracy, and performance—so you can make informed decisions backed by science.
