In the cleanest comparison, twelve young Malaysian archers split into two halves by score, the better six have a stronger grip in both hands (medians of 35.2 against 23.8 kg on the left and 33.8 against 29.3 on the right), but they are also twelve centimetres taller, and height and arm span are the variables most closely linked to the score. In a hundred Indian recurve archers the experienced ones have three or four kilos more grip, and are also ten centimetres taller and eight kilos heavier, in a journal with doubtful editorial standards. When the score within a homogeneous group is examined instead of level, the link disappears: in the fifteen control archers of a Turkish study grip is never linked to the score, and in twenty children under thirteen it does not predict it (p=0.925). Today it can be said that higher-level archers have a stronger grip on average, not that grip matters more than stature, nor that it helps anyone shoot better.claim:forza-presa-livello:revision:2026-07-28:2Tue, 28 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/physical-training/grip-strength-and-archer-levelclaim:forza-presa-livello:new_claim:2026-07-04:riportatoSat, 04 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT
