Wow, I knew arrows bent/wobbled in flight, but I had no idea about corrent spline, etc until this video. Apparently when you have the correct spline of your arrow matching your bow's strength, the arrow will bend out of the way of the bow itself so it doesn't rub/smack off of it. That's amazing.
@yononindo Beautiful video! Can you tell me what the target is that you're using? My searches have mostly resulted in foam and plastic animals and cubes.

@IrishBraithreThar15 Yep start light, buy cheap till your sure your into it, but buy something that will not just break, (I got my bow for 50$ and it works) make sure you have plenty of room, I underestimated the power of a 45lbs bow and hit a brick wall arrow strangely did not break but tip was flattened XD, aside from that be safe and have fun ;) not as hard to get in to as some think my starter gear including nice leather quiver and arm guard wooden bow wood arrows glove target 260$ total
@miles305678 do you really have to have gloves?, and if my arrow tip gets flatened how do i sharpen it, i have a knife/sciccor sharpener at home, can i use that,err its a blade charpener
@FuryOfTheSwarm You don't "Need" gloves but I highly suggest them to avoid burns cuts and even getting feathers in your hands o.0, as for arrow heads I flattened one of mine but being at a loss of what to do just put it up, only because I have plenty, but idk you could try searching "How to sharpen an arrowhead" or "How to repair an arrowhead"
The term archer's paradox was coined by Robert P. Elmer in the 1930s. The paradox refers to the phenomenon that in order to strike the center of the target, the arrow must be pointed slightly to the side of the target. Modern use of the term has caused the interpretation of it to be corrupted and the bending of the arrow is often considered incorrectly to be archer's paradox.
yeah, nice peace of work.... but I came to the thought, the "broken arrow"-bit had been more dramatical in the end sequence, instead of this balloon-thingy.. bit of pity though...
Good camera work. Nice idea to show the breaking arrow. Such a break could even split your artery in your wrist if happened by mistake. Follow his good advice people.
@AnnaCool012 it has nothing to do with this video really from what i can tell. I think the archer's paradox is a reference to the arow paradox by the philosopher Zeno. check out the arrow paradox on google
i wonder what would happen if you made an arrow that was so rigid that it didn't flex back and forth when shot. would it affect the accuracy? would it just snap when shot?
The flex is necessary to allow the arrow to shoot around the riser and continue in a straight line toward the target. On a traditional bow, the arrow rest is not perfectly in line with the bow string. If the arrow was unable to flex, it would veer off to the left and miss the target.
@ishouldplayzelda "i wonder what would happen if you made an arrow that was so rigid that it didn't flex back and forth when shot.'"
This happens all the time. It's called making the arrows wrong! Haha!
"... would it affect the accuracy?"
Sure! A too-stiff arrow tends to "fishtail". When it recovers & settles into a path, you can't say where it'll hit. Early learning is often hurt by this. Buy a bow and some random arrows without knowing about all this and you can't hit the target.
exellent vid shows how arrows react beutifully shot awesome music i think julie gerrard sings im watching now as slowmo arrow heads to target and see how fletchings react awesome
Yep - all arrows do but the wood ones more so. The amount of flex is referred to as the "spine". Modern bows have a small spring cushion called a plunger button to counteract this flex and help tune the bow. Search Recurve Archers Paradox to see the modern one with Carbon arrows.
Very nice. I just would like to see this kind of high speed footage from an arrow shot from a bow without a window. Making the paradox even more evident.
@mrkiky The arrow has to pass by the bow itself (the wood part that bends), and it does so by bending around it. If the arrow bends too much, it will veer to one side. If it doesn't bend at all, it will veer to the other side.
Both configuration (too stiff/not enaugh stiff) results in arrow hitting the rest, immagine the wave on the arrow created at starting, if it's perfectly tuned with arrow speed, the arrow will never touch the rest, otherwise the arrow could touch at his head or at his tail.
There is no way to predict perfectly what u need, u can try heaving the tip (it soften the arrow) or u can light it (it harden the arrow). Do some try and find what happens.
@SpacedTime I'm not an expert on every style or form of archery, but I have been shooting longbows for 20 years or so... You push with your bow arm as much as you are pulling with your release hand. Your back muscles are what should be doing all the work, and it should be a pretty symmetrical load....
@t5id72j The paradox is, if an archer were to hit his/her target, due to the flexing of the wood he/she will not have to aim at the target. Instead he/she must aim slightly to the side of the target in order for it to hit.
Yea, I get it now. I was just thinking that the fact that the arrow was too weak for the poundage bow was a fuckup on the archers part and not actually a paradoxical event.
I was not thinking of the scenario when the arrow doesn't snap that it instead flexes all over the place and could head any direction, no matter how well aimed..
@t5id72j The expression is "the Archers Paradox" in that people believe that arrows fly straight. They do not, which contradicts the expression "Straight as an Arrow".

Unless they choose an arrow that is too weak for the bow they are shooting it from (Like the last 2 shots)

same like sitting in an accelerating car, you go slower than the car for a while so you get pushed back in the seat. its all about mass and acceleration.
Okay everybody listen up, ALL ARROWS BEND WHEN LAUNCHED! even newer metal ones. The reason is: The string pushes the back of the arrow faster than the front for a split second, so it bends. If your arrows have correct spine weight for your bow/drawlength/other factors, they will fly straighter, but still bend when you loose them.
@Rampantmember If it did not bend it would not fly straight, but believe what you wanna believe, these were way under spine weighted to cause extream bend in the video, but all arrows do it.
@Rampantmember All arrows bend, PERIOD. I'm shooting FMJ (aluminum wrapped around carbon core) and they still bend. You could make an arrow out of titanium and it would bend, 25% of the entire arrows weight is at the tip so as you apply force to the rear of the arrow it has no choice but to flex until the tips speed matches that of the shaft.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
THIS IS TRICK PHOTOGRAPHY. I'm amazed how many people have been fooled by this. A bit like UFOs and crop circles and nursery rhymes. Boomerang arrows will be the next thing on show.
Because of the laws of physics, the energy that is imparted to the arrow upon realease makes the arse end of the arrow start to move a fraction of a second before the pile or point. This is why the arrow bends. Klopstig did all the early work on the archers paradox. These examples bend more because the spine has been left intentionaly low to cause an 'over exagerated' paradox.. Nice music by the way... don't reply or post a response.. go down the pub and meet someone new.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Can you not understand that the bow used here is much too strong for the arrow? That is why it is bending and breaking. This is very dangerous and you should learn this before you try to shoot more arrows and hurt yourself.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How can wood bend like spaghetti? Too much water - you must keep your arrows dry if you want to shoot straight. Maybe wet arrows can shoot round corners, like a boomerang.
no one said anything about an original long bow they can get up to almost 200 pounds of pressure release and that shit goes straight through 1/4 in. steel a gun is more deadly then a compound bow but a real long bow has way more release poundage so therefore its just as deadly to me atleast
the force on the fingers of a bow may be 90LB, but that doesn't mean that is the force delivered to the arrow. The english longbows on the mary rose had an average draw weight of 140LB, but the lever action of drawing a longbow creates a force of up to 1680LBS per square inch in the yew wood bow. On top of that you have to consider the weight of a 32 inch long half inch thick, bodkin tipped arrow shaft.
I have never seen the physical, technical, and artistic aspects of archery blended together in such an amazing manner. Your work truly inspires a sense of wonder. Thank you for your contribution.
I usually watch videos and just dont care much to put any comments, but your video, is such an amazing and mesmerizing one, that i just couldnt help, sharing my thoughts of appreciation about the video and the music in it....ITs just makes me speechless and attracts me to watch it over and over again...its amazing
Simply this music and the archery (especially in this video, when arrow is slowly SWIMMING with grace towards target ) - it is simple an art of the highest quality...
Thanks, Yononondo for your wonderful art, great job !!!
The bow is unmatched. Its interesting how arrows "swim" in the air, that is actually what gives it its great killing power. Did you know arrows srike with more kinetic force than bullets? a kevlar vest is no match for an arrow.
The song title is Prologue, by Loreena McKennitt. Interesting choice of music for this mostly educational slow-mo for archers.

And you say this because you are an archer yourself? ... research a bit please!
Very good video! Cheers!

Because of the laws of physics, the energy that is imparted to the arrow upon realease makes the arse end of the arrow start to move a fraction of a second before the pile or point. This is why the arrow bends. Klopstig did all the early work on the archers paradox. These examples bend more because the spine has been left intentionaly low to cause an 'over exagerated' paradox.. Nice music by the way... don't reply or post a response.. go down the pub and meet someone new.

Arrows are supposed to bend, its from the very high velocity from the bow.

Can you not understand that the bow used here is much too strong for the arrow? That is why it is bending and breaking. This is very dangerous and you should learn this before you try to shoot more arrows and hurt yourself.

you're wrong.
it has to bend to go around the handle.

How can wood bend like spaghetti? Too much water - you must keep your arrows dry if you want to shoot straight. Maybe wet arrows can shoot round corners, like a boomerang.

very good video, especially I like the part at 2:02 where you can see the snakelike action of the arrow.
Great.
Thanks also for the music, the book of secrets is my favourite album of Loreena McKennitt

Why is this video called Archer's Paradox? (2)

They're not rubber; the wood flexes like that as it travels through the air.

no one said anything about an original long bow they can get up to almost 200 pounds of pressure release and that shit goes straight through 1/4 in. steel a gun is more deadly then a compound bow but a real long bow has way more release poundage so therefore its just as deadly to me atleast

at best an arrow with a broadhead can have a force of 90LB where as a .22 is around 150LB
bowman580 2 years ago
the force on the fingers of a bow may be 90LB, but that doesn't mean that is the force delivered to the arrow. The english longbows on the mary rose had an average draw weight of 140LB, but the lever action of drawing a longbow creates a force of up to 1680LBS per square inch in the yew wood bow. On top of that you have to consider the weight of a 32 inch long half inch thick, bodkin tipped arrow shaft.

So is the oscillation of the arrow greater using your fingers compared to using a release?

Why did the arrow flex more at 2:02? was it because of low spine weight?

Simply this music and the archery (especially in this video, when arrow is slowly SWIMMING with grace towards target ) - it is simple an art of the highest quality...
Thanks, Yononondo for your wonderful art, great job !!!

The bow is unmatched. Its interesting how arrows "swim" in the air, that is actually what gives it its great killing power. Did you know arrows srike with more kinetic force than bullets? a kevlar vest is no match for an arrow.
