Livery Arrow record

(1/10) > >>

WillS:
For those interested, Joe Gibbs broke another world record today, sending a Livery arrow (Mary Rose replica, 63.5g) 306 yards from an Ian Coote bow.  The weather was diabolical with rain, wind and freezing cold (typically the day before was perfect!) but he still managed it, along with sending a Standard arrow 311 yards. 

Considering how bloody horrible the weather was today, he should be able to get even more out of it on a better day, so maybe in May there'll be an even bigger distance.

ceolith:
Nice to hear that. Congratulation!  8)

WillS:
Your bow that Mark was shooting was a work of art, Michael.

Badger:
  That is impressive regardless of bow weight! What was the previous record? o you know the approx bow weight?

WillS:
Previous record was Joe's as well (nobody can touch him at the moment!) and was 292 yards.  He shot the same bow today, an Ian Coote 170lb Italian yew.
