This is way cool. Slow motion arrows from a bow. The last one breaking with bits flying either side of the riser..even with a shooting glove it's scary..nice music.

Slow motion arrows
I am an Archer. I am not a traditional archer, bowhunter, compound shooter or target archer.....I am an Archer

Neat, very relaxing watching that...until the arrow split at least 
"I am the arrow..the arrow is me...together as one...I fly to thee"

Re: Slow motion arrows
Love watching slow motion footage of the Archers Paradox. Like the haunting music aswell, sorta Celtic and back in the midst of time.
Braver man than me setting up to break an arrow in the bow. I had a carbon arrow blow up in my bow 12 months or so ago, I still swear it had not had a hit but thats beside the point. It shattered into 3 pieces on release. The front piece continued unobstructured towards the target , the middle section speared into the sight window onto the arrow shelf near my thumb and tumbed forward of the shooting line and the last 6 inches of the shaft speared into my bow quiver striking another carbon arrow amidships shattering that one and them rebounding back past my right eye. Definately dodged a bullet
When the Olympics was being telecsat they had a slow motion camera set up behind the archers that tracked the arrow to target, amazing the flexing and gyrations of an arrow in flight all the way to the target.

Re: Slow motion arrows
Thats some cool footage interresting to see how far down the shot the arrow starts to spin.

Re: Slow motion arrows
I was facinated by how far the arrow bent before it snapped. Almost like a liquid.

Re: Slow motion arrows
Nice clip, in regards to the target, has anyone tried a rope style target butt?
