[kennym]

More than you want ...

[Roy from Pa]

Ya gots any pink left?

[kennym]

No , an unnamed feller bought the last of it for next years swap ...

[4 point]

First limb off the new form. She's got some hooks! My plan was for it to be almost straight thru the mid limb at brace. We'll see  how close I get.

[Shredd]

Damn... You got all kinds of hook there...  Looking forward to see what she looks like...

   My buddy is just getting into archery...  He found some big ol fields with those big ol round hay bales on it...  Recipe for fun....  I tried my hand at some flight shooting today and got then arrows to go about 280 yds...  I was like damn, holy chit, what the hell...  I had no idea that they were gonna go that far... And I still can't believe it...

[Shredd]

Here is something that some of you might find interesting...  Pic is right after release...  Taken at the field today...  Click on pic and you get a better view...

Did it break all the way?  Looks like it let go at the nock point.

  It did not break... It's kind of a double exposure...

[kennym]

I was wondering how it did that! That's the string after the shot up front ?

[Mad Max]

He told you guy's he made fast bows

[Shredd]

   I guess...   lol...   Would love to see a slow-mo of the whole shot cycle...

[Roy from Pa]

Looks like a Foster Grant sunglass poster:)

That is weird for sure, the string I mean:)

My old 42# Bear takedown launches a light flight arrow at least 300 yards...

[kennym]

My Ifone has a slo mo vid option, but don't know if it's slow enuff to catch that!

My old 42# Bear takedown launches a light flight arrow at least 300 yards...

   I have seen a slow-mo video before... The string definitely does some oscillating...

It's amazing, isn't it??  Never thought about how far they can shoot...  This bow is 39# to 40# shooting a 410 gr. arrow... Next time I am gonna mark it off and get an accurate measurement...

[Shredd]

Check this out... There are some better ones out there also...

I've seen some of those too, but never in a still photo!

We have trad archery golf shoots up here and a some of the targets are 600 to 800 yards away.

The first shot to a target, the bow has to be held at a 45 degree angle, the rest of the shots are however you want.

I made up some flight arrows with only two 2 inch long feathers on it to guide it.

I tried aluminum, carbon, and wood to get the lightest arrow and put a 50 grain little target tip on them.

The wood arrow weighed the least, I'd have bet on aluminum to be the lightest.

The total arrow weight was about 300 grains for the wooden arrow.

My 42# bear takedown was hanging right in there with 60 to 65 pound bows, I never would have thought that?

Brings me back to what I said a few weeks ago about a longer riser and shorter limbs is a pretty fast combination...

[Shredd]

  600 to 800 yards!!  WoW..!!  And I Thought 280 was far...

  Kenny... I think I read about this before... I believe the digital camera does some kind of sweeping motion to take the pic and if you can beat it to the punch you can get multiple images in one photo...

[kennym]

What gets me is the shot is clear and the string part is fuzzy .  I can see the string being fuzzy but the other part should be too.  Back to my cave now...

[Shredd]

  Don't overthink it....       Is what it is...      Kinda cool though...
