Err, I don't think it works like that (sayeth the Arts graduate).
For every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction. The action is drawing the bow (pulling the limbs back) and the reaction is what happens on release (the limbs go forward).
That seems logical to me anyway. I shall wait to be blown out of the water by a clever scientist
