i wonder how these high-bows really work and how they are engineered ... i for one never thought a bow could be mounted a sniper scope (that actually helped to aim)... and btw, that the h*ll is that bundle of rods sticking out of it paralell to the the arrow??

forgive me i'm just ignorant

[neilnhi]

The wheels at each end of the limbs act as levers in conjuntion with the limbs, greatly increasing the speed of the arrow on release when conpaired with a simular draw weight recurve bow. The sight is a standard compound sight, & the bundle of rods are there to absorb shock loads & stabiise the bow on release.

it does not need to fall forward if the shooter was acually doin it right he would be shooting with surprise and the bow arm would go off to the left and his release hand would go stait back picture that

[snipsofscraps]

You allow the bow to roll forward to avoid bow torque. It is a loose hold on the bow so it will automatically fall forward from pushing forward(bow arm) and pulling back to release.

it falls fowerd if u notice he is holding the bow weth his firts figer and his thum so it well fall foward

sorry Im new to archery just bought a new parker wildfire xp for hunting and I dont get why you roll your bow foward after shooting

[Tiduspeco]

Tachios, that bundle of rods is a stabilizer called the Beiter Centralizer i believe. it is used to stabilize your bow and put the weight further away from the bow. those stabilizers don't weigh very much, they just put the weight out further. also, they also allow you to have a better follow-through

I Have been shooting for approx 12yrs. The dropping or swinging of the bow is purely the way that the bow reacts on loosing the arrow. I don't hold the bow in my hand when at full draw, it just rests in the palm of my hand & on loose of the arrow the bow reacts to the release of the string. Hope this answers your question. You can send me emails through U Tube if you want more info.

Nice compound. how long have you been shooting for?

i just learnt recurve to a scoring level and had a play with compound. its great i'm thinking about joining a local club. one more thing. whats behind dropping or swinging the bow down after each shot. is it just a comfortable way to finnish a shot or just habit

[neilnhi]

The 'special device' is called a release aid & it is used only on 'compound' bows. It's actually held in the hand, (the strap is there only for safety)& attaches to a 'D' loop on the string, which allows the draw to be directly in line with the arrow. The 1 over 2 under finger method of pulling the bow is used in both recurve & longbow & rarely used on compounds.

By the way the person in the video is Me 'Neilnhi@

I'm hardly an archer but i know the basics.

The arrow is never pulled on. the traditional way is one finger on the string above the arrow and two below. but now it is common to use a device that hold the string for you making the shot more stable and easier. the "bundle of rods" is a stabilizer that helps keep the bow steady when aiming. hope this helps

I'm glad to see that i had the right intuition on what those wheels were for (it looked like some sort of pulley sistem to me) even though i didn't post about it here ;)

But never could i have imagined what that bundle of rods was for.

Anyway since you were so nice to answer my first question, neilnhi, i have another one: is he using a special device straped to his fingers so that he's not actually pulling on the arrow but on the string?
