I've been playing with the morphsvg bow and arrow demo:

 

 

I was trying to get a wiggle strain when the bow was fully pulled, and using CustomWiggle and rotation with easeInOut produced some cool results, but I was trying to get the Bow and string to relax part of the way back to the relaxed/straight state. 

 

Is there anyway to animate a wiggle ease in and out partway back through an animation?

 

Thanks.

Sorry, I'm not understanding the effect you are going for. 

 

The short answer is yes, you can tween the progress() of any animation and even apply an ease.

//so you can have your source animation be something like:
var t = TweenLite.to(obj, 4, {x:500, ease:Linear.easeNone});

//and then tween the progress() of that tween with another tween with its own ease
TweenLite.to(t, 1, {progress:0, ease:Power4.easeOut});

Here is a more elaborate example: http://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/YwOWmQ

 

 

With CustomWiggle you can apply any ease, even a CustomEase to the amplitudeEase and timingEase properties.

Try changing those values in this demo:

I think if you step away from the complex bow and arrow example and provide a simpler demo with a CustomWiggle close to what you want, we will have a better chance at getting you a clear solution.

Here's sort of what I've been working towards, but I'm not sure how to execute it. I know it must be possible, and i'd much rather do it this way, rather than have to open Illustrator back up and slip in a keyframe to animate back and forth from.

Initially I tried adding a onComplete function into my var archeryTl = new TimelineMax({onComplete:myFunc});

 

and then running myFunc to pass the TweenLite.to(archeryTl, 1, {progress:0.2, delay:2, ease:"Expo.easeOut", repeat:2,yoyo:true});

 

But I seem to be tripping up on how the timeline is handled. 

 

The end goal is to have the shaking fractional tween to repeat until some event fires to finish the animation and shoot the arrow.

 

Thanks so much.

 

Edit: Figured out I need TweenMax.to for the animations to repeat.
