So any motion causes drag that impedes this motion. The forces involved are small, so they need time to become effective. | |

Because I don't know what forces and how they act on my arrow are to be taken into account, otherwise that the upcoping wind. Can you explain more deeply how friction works to dampen the yaw instability of my arrow ? Because friction is already what is making my arrow oscillate. | |
