The STORM - A new bow from FALCO (part 1)

I have a great honour to introduce you a brand new bow model from FALCO!

This is a short longbow made for horseback archery and hunting. This model is available in lengths 51" and 54".
The 51" STORM can be drawn to 26" and the 54" STORM can be drawn to 29"! And what is the best, this model is going to be under 200euros!! (Under 300dollars!)

These bows you see in my movies are 55lb@25,5" and 59lb@28".

@vemkanmanlitapa Hey np. Only experiments of wooden shaft i have, are of 23/64...for 77# bow..So i dont know exactly what is the best. Nowadays these Storms (for hunting) are very center shooting, so the window is bigger than in this video. And for horsebackarchery there is the other Storm model without shelters or windows. So you should pick the spine first for this 50# and try both arrow sizes. For wooden arrows, i would perhpas choose the 11/32 first...but....5/16 would be lighter=faster...

hey Marko, im thinking of buying this bow, what is the best weight(grain) for a target

arrowpoint for a 50# storm?

greetings from sweden

@vemkanmanlitapa Hello friend. The weight of the arrrow point depends of the arrow spine, arrow length, your draw length and your release. So i can not give the straight answer to you. But i have been using 125gr points for all my bows/arrows and i cut the shaft so that it flyes straight. Some rare cases i have used 100gr points put only with some very weak safts. I recommend you to start by finding correct spine of the arrow, take 125gr and 100gr points and start testing without feathers on.

@gsgtsg Cheers. I am attracted to Gold Tip Traditional -series. (carbon but looks like a wood)

@Trophybow1 Hi, what arrows do you use with the Storm? Which would you recommend? Cheers.

@gsgtsg Hello. Latest one is the bowfishing video, but i have also one little trickshot-idea in my mind i would like to try with Storm.

So i believe the next movie is about the Storm :) I just need some time and find a proper field to try this shot. And i it goes well and i manage to do it, i will put it right away to Youtube.

I am glad to hear you like these Storm-videos. Greetings and have a great day!

[gsgtsg]

Hi, do you plan to have any new videos on the Storm. The ones I've seen are great.

[Trophybow1]

@gsgtsg Hello, Strom is faster than legend but i dont know does it qualify for these comepetitions / longbowclass because the shortness. If you are looking for faster bow for field compeititons, i would recommend you to check Spirit! That is smoother and faster than Legend i think, and it shoud fit also to these tournaments. It is also cheaper than Trophy. You can also ask the bowyer about this qualify- thing to make it sure.

[gsgtsg]

Thanks for the respose. I am looking for a fast bow which shoots arrow faster, I will be shooting standard wooden arrows, I now feel the Storm may be a better choice over the Legend.

Does the Storm qualify for NFAS/EFAA/IFAA?

Cheers.
