New and old toys in slowmotion (now with longbow pics)

Yes ED, shooting from a machine does pick up the speed, and a static release causes limb friction ,and slows the speeds. Nocks that fit right . String material etc. etc. Flight shooters know exactly how to get the most out their bow, and arrow, and they take that all in to account when competing. I just look for average speed of the bow ,and arrow when I am doing the shooting. Mostly now to see if my bow building is getting more efficient as I build the next bow. A Chrony can be a great aid for that.

Very cool. I love watching the oscillation of the limbs after the shot. Great speeds, too!

thanx superdav! I have seen you making something like that and I'm sure you will succeed. Mine again had 13" reflex when I strung it after resting 2 or 3 months. thats one+ to what I started before sinewing. sinew probably does not change a given profile a lot imho.
it has a static release. got to be quick :) I had shot the hornbow "natural" also but only 26 or 27" I think. If I remember right I got mid 180' 10gpp. But this machine seems very accurate - made three shots on the hornbow: 197,197,196...
I shot selfbows also on the machine...those seem slower than shot natural.

Very cool. I’m hoping mine delivers such great results. In retrospect I should have done 12” or more reflex but ended with just over 11”. Hoping to achieve a longer draw with this one too so we shall see. Thanks again.
