With bow types everything is rather flat, except for Barebow which has seen a big jump since 2018. It's seen this internationally as well with events like Lancaster and also the Australian Open high-lighting Barebow.
As you can see from the table, while barebow has grown massively the other divisions have fallen off.
It's easy to assume form this that "Oh people are switching to Barebow" and if that was the full case that would be fine. It's not important WHICH bow has the most people, as long as the sport is growing.
However, this is a net minus 64 person loss, which is around 7.34% decrease in potential numbers.
