Archers Paradox - Super slow motion video
Loading...
Uploaded by yononindo on Oct 4, 2008
Super slow motion footage of traditional bowshooting.
Music by Loreena McKennitt
SAFETY FIRST!!! The breaking arrow at the end of the video was NOT due to a lack of knowledge on my part - IT WAS QUITE DELIBERATE !!!
Different arrows shot from a 70 lbs recurve bow (a custom-made KHAN, by BORDER ARCHERY). At the end you will see what a 65 lbs recurve bow can do to an arrow (Port Orford cedar-spine 25-30, 100 grain tip, 30 inches long). I expected the arrow to break - it took the 70 lbs KHAN to make the arrow explode! The drawlength was 29 inches. This video will show you the archer's paradox and gives you an idea of how dangerous it can be to use the wrong spine. By the way, I was wearing a helmet and a good wrap of leather around my bow hand during the "dangerous" shots.
For your own safety, and also for your bow (it's akin to dry firing your bow), please don't try this at home!

The song title is Prologue, by Loreena McKennitt. Interesting choice of music for this mostly educational slow-mo for archers.

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.

Amazing video. I like the music too: mysterious, exotic, touch dangerous without being distracting.
