Slow Motion Arrow

[admacdo2009]

Nice try bobsf150. It's a recurve . All arrows on finger release do this. If they didn't, they'd hit the riser. Beiter have a high speed camera at their manufacturing plant where this was taken. If you go to Germany, you can stop by and ask Mr Werner Beiter all about it. And plenty of people shoot wooden arrows from compounds.

okay so i just love seeing all of you idiots pretend to know what you are talking about... okay first off Arrows are not supposed to do this it only happens when the bow is improperly tuned or the arrow is way too weak for the bow.... Second the bow in the video above is a early model compound bow, probably around a late 70's or early 80's, now third the main reasons for what you are seeing is this guy is shooting a WOOD arrow, a big no for any compound bow, and the bow has not been paper tuned!

@bobsf150 im sorry to say man and burst your bubble but all arrows do this no matter what type, how much you spent on them, or out of which kind of bow you use you dont see it happen cause it happens in under a blink of an eye. it straightens out once it has actually traveled. so unless you have like super hawk 1000fps vision your wrong buddy.

[Halofreak131313]

@bobsf150 your an idiot. If he were to shoot a wood arrow it would have to be the thickness of a broomstick or else it would shatter. secondly the arrows are supposed to bend like that, its called their spine, take a highschool physics class and they will teach you that.

[randoness1234]

dats shits trippy man

[nevikffud]

looked like the arrow was gonna snap

[darklord2626]

@nevikffud all arrows bend like that when shot..its just so fast we dont see it

[huntwithairguns]

@darklord2626 No....all arrows should not bend quite this much during the shot.

[snowyseb]

hmm that arrow suits the bow quite well actualy

[fusionstar916]

looks like 2000+ fps.

and a recurve bow, not a compound.

[fishnkid1923]

i shoot stiff arrows made for 7o lb bows i have 50lb. bow would it still do this/

[dated9119]

Absolutely not, idk what the specs of the arrow and the bow are, but Compound bow arrows being shot should definitely not look like this.

[fishnkid1923]

the arrow is supposed to do that....i know for a fact..this is why some arrow brands make the arrow stiffer in the back

[0rionsHammer]

I'm wondering if this is actually only 1000 frames per second. A 300 feet per second arrow would travel over 4 inches per millisecond; and it looks like the arrow is moving slower than this. I ask because I've actually tried filming arrows at 1000fps on my Casio EX-FC100, and they don't look this cool...

[meyandruz]

What was the spine on this arrow?

[nasanction]

It's typical for an arrow to bend with the force of the string. Even a $950 super duper deer hunter bow will do the same thing. lol... ;)

[movestudios]

Thus.. debunking the phrase 'Straight as an Arrow...'

[kevinlaney]

Wrong everything!

[uknowwho889]

care to explain?

[nasanction]

I will... Using a quick release will allow the string to be released in a much straighter line. Using your fingers, you need to pull just a little in the direction of the back side of your hand. In a sense pulling your fingers out of the way of the string, rather then letting the string roll off your finger curl. Thus allowing the string to keep in the straightest line possible. Of course you can never get it perfect even with a quick release. ;) Cool Video!

[uknowwho889]

This guy has a quick release, i bet if you saw it in real time, it would look great. This is reeeaaally slow, man. Not even YOU could release better than this.

[nasanction]

There is no quick release. It's rolling off his fingers. With a quick release it would be much straighter. Of course it can never be perfectly straight. ;)

Sure shows allot of detail at this speed!

[uknowwho889]

dude, i meant quick as in speed.. not a release aid, it's a recurve bow.

[2000F350powerstroke]

lol i would love to see a ALUMINUM arrow not the carbon express

[jeremycraneskates]

lol that bows a piece of shit....i gotta jennings bowmaster 2000...actually a compound, not recurve...mines about $950 bow plus attachments....the deer-killer!!!

[roythearcher]

that bow is perfectly good for its design. So what if your compound cost $950, its the archer that counts. the most expensive bow in the world is no good if the archer can't shoot!!!

[ZolcsiBB]

That's a recurve bow, not a compound.

[BowHunterNman77]

nothin new

[threeidiotswithacam]

thats friggen messed
