Archer's paradox

[far rider]

Hey guys, check out the link below and watch a high speed camera footage of the archer's paradox. Gives a really good idea of what your spining your arrows for

Thank you so much. That was an eye opener for sure. I knew it happened but to see it brings it to the house for me. My wife who isn't an archer at all was impressed too.
God bless,Mudd

cool video

Thanks for sharing. Years ago I watched a video where the camera was over the archer. You could see the nock of the arrow move in a inch or more before the tip started to. They sure do bend a lot lol.

[The Whittler]

I ment to say the camera was over the archer looking down as he shot.

[Ed Isaacs]

That's still interesting no matter how many times I've seen it.

[hayslope]

Have to agree with everyone on this.......no matter how many times you see this in slow motion, it always provokes the same response.....WOW

[Jim Keller]

kinda scary to see that much flex isn't it? Pretty cool to watch.

[oxnam]

Always fun to watch.  Now tell me, with an arrow wagging that much, how can Byron Fergusson hit aspirin fairly consistently with the tip of the arrow moving that much?

[far rider]

I wish I had Byron's eye, because you have to be able to see it to hit it! I just watched a few of his videos, and I was thinking the same thing oxnam, how????

[hunterace]

wow that was a great video, very cool

[ishoot4thrills]

I had seen it before but I still had to click on the link and watch it again! I still really enjoy it as much as I ever did. (Should I be ashamed to say that I also kinda like the music that goes along with it?       )

[Thumper Dunker]

Realy cool amazing how much they bend. I liked the music goes with it.

[tackhammer]

The fellow who made that video recently became a member here. His videos are excellent. There's a cool one of him bowfishing from a kayak, and a Christmas Greeting where he makes a Native Flute. I liked the music in the Paradox video so much that I just bought a couple of the Lady's CD's.

Hey dannyBows, what is is trad name, or real name. Yep the music is pretty good, interested as well.

That was a beautifully put-together sequence, thanks for sharing.

[Kenkel]

That is a great video to help understand all of the talk about arrow spine and what is happening at the shot.  And no, dont feel ashamed of liking that music, she is world class all the way!!  I own quite a few of her cd's!!

My archer's paradox is that I love to shoot, but can't hit a darned thing.
