Shooting English warbows of 110 and 130 pounds - no music

[xMrjamjam]

i remember my 1st time shooting a bow it was only 30lb hazel longbow that i made myself

still got it

its allmost 2 years old and is still shooting perfectly

the 1st time i shot it the string slapped my wrist and slightly cut it i would hate to get slapped by a 130lb warbow lol i dont use vambraces i just slightly bend my left arm but i bet you cant with a 130 lb bow :P

thanks Nick!

65lb compound means 65# at a very short drawlength, wich makes it really really hard to draw. I remember when my maximum drawweight on normal bows was 70#; at that time I could barely draw a 60# compound ;)

[nicksynnz]

I like your style; I have enough problems with my 65lb compound bow which I use for hunting :) It was obvious the guy in the front was using a lighter bow. Well done.

Nick,

I've been making weekly videos of my progress on drawing a 110#@28" to 149#@33" bow. My form isn't so good and I'm thinking about making a lighter bow so I can work on it. If you would check out my videos on my channel any advice on form or working up to heavier weights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

P.S. - Your bows are awesome by the way.

Hey Nick,

clearly noticed how you're great at using your back to pull the bow. Keep it up!

I looked like one of them was less than 110lbs which is what it turned out to be. It's just that you don't explain that one of the bows is 60lbs until right at the end so people who don't watch that far may not realize.

Am I right that the person furthest away from the camera is using the 130lb bow?

[dutchwarbow]

"for those who couldn't watch the vid before, hope this works now. Anyways, shooting warbows of 110 and 130pounds, and some shots with a 60#. distance of ~160yards. enjoy! "

can't put everything in the title, but a little reading could've done good. Indeed, I'm shooting the 130# in the background.

Didn't look like 110 and 130lbs but I see at the end it says one of the three was only 60lbs so it makes sense. Nice bows and nice arrows too.

[dutchwarbow]

the 'crooked' white bow jorik shoots in the beginning was 60#, later he shoots my 110#. I kept shooting 130# all the way. Doesn't look like it? how would it look then?

how heavy was your first bow. im fourteen and im shooting a 45 pound bow atm which seems weak as fuck compared to this but does constant shooting help you draw heavier poundages because it is like weights pretty much right?

[dutchwarbow]

I just kept increasing drawweight. I made a trainingsbow wich drew 80#, after having shot 60# regularry, 2 weeks after the 80# I finished my 90#. 3 weeks after that, I made my 110#. And 3 weeks after my 110# I made the 130#.

if you make your own bows, it's much easier to increase the drawweight. But I must say that the first warbow I'd actually shoot was the 110#, the 80 and 90 were only drawn a few times.

Training goes pretty quickly, especially if you've lifted weights for a while.

[dutchwarbow]

tykke,

compare this to penchpressing. you won't be able to bench all day either. If you see it as weightlifting, and if shoot in your bow, you'll be able to draw way more than you've ever expected, especially after a few months of training. I usually shoot 30-50 arrows a day.

I'm nearly twice your size, and I strain when pulling an holding a 70# reflex-deflex longbow. Goddamn, you must be strong.
