Archers Paradox – Super slow motion video
Filed in archery arrows 27 Comments
Super slow motion footage of traditional bowshooting.
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!

How It’s Made-Traditional Bows (Hunting Bows)
Filed in hunting bows 105 Comments
Today they will show you how they make Traditional Bows (Hunting Bows)!
A composite bow is a bow made from disparate materials laminated together, usually applied under tension. Different materials are used in order to take advantage of the properties of each material.
This article describes mainly the traditional Asiatic composite bow, which normally uses horn on the belly and sinew on the back of a wooden core. Sinew and horn will store more energy than wood for the same length of bow. The strength can be made similar to that of all-wood bows, with similar draw-length and therefore a similar or greater amount of energy delivered to the arrow from a much shorter bow. Some Mongolian composite bows are known to have been able to produce a draw weight of nearly 160 lb.
