Title: My bow in Slow-Mo
Post by: elkbreath on August 19, 2015, 07:40:00 PM
Thought you guys might enjoy this too.  I'd love to hear your comments.  I recently saw this idea on here, to watch flight on film.  Great idea!  So, i did it too.  Just got my cutthroats in the mail, and am happy with the way they are flying.  Anybody see anything to correct?

77# @ 29" R/D Longbow, my own make.
Arrow Dynamics Trad, fletched by Ted Fry at Raptor archery
100 gr insert
250 gr cutthroat broadheads from the Clums @ rmsg.com, cutthroatbroadheads.com

Initial shot is 17 steps, second shot at 15 and last shot at 23. Looking at arrow flight/form.

I was staring at the target by the fence when the first shot went off and I noticed the arrow heaed for the storage bldg. My first thought was Rut-Roh!!!!!    :scared:    :scared:    :scared:    

Slo-mo is cool! There is so much we cannot see with the naked eye.

Looks good. It appears that both arrow flight and accuracy are up to par. Good luck this season.

Just noticed that I put my finger on the arrow the first couple of inches of the draw.  Had no idea I do that.  So I went out and tried again, and sure enough, every shot, I put my finger up for the first couple inches.  weird.  

Also, just being critical, looks like I 'settle in' right before release by creeping forward and down into anchor, just a tad.  But I think back tension looks good?  

I couldn't agree more on watching well tuned arrows fly.  Something about just seeing feathers spin around a knock all the way till delivery.  I shot all night, couldn't get enough of how these heads fly with the field points. I even stepped out into the field for a couple bombers.  

Now I'll sharpen them up real good and we are OFF!!!

Thanks for sharing.

"The camera doesn't lie." Which is why I've been taking a lot of slow motion video recently. There's now a dent in my forehead from the dope slaps after watching the results. But it's all good.

I didn't want to be critical because I'm no William Tell nor Kisik Lee.  However, since you brought it up, it does look like you collapse or creep slightly at the release.  That being said, the arrow flight looks pretty good.
