does a bow with a shelf perform better
soy:
Nope
Selfbowman:
One more thing. The first time I went to a flight shoot old Arvin chose to put a heavy broadhead on the front of a Lighter arrow still with right spine. Thinking the broadhead would drag the arrow further. Boy was I wrong. It does fine till the arrow starts to fall then the forward weight pulls down causing less distance.🤠🤠🤠I’m not the sharpest tack in the box but I learn from my mistakes.🤠🤠🤠
BowEd:
So in contrast at an IBA shoot some time ago I saw the disabled world record compound shooter [Matt Stutzman] shoot at an 8" balloon with an arrow at 100 yards.He participates in the paraolympics.
He's armless and draws with his feet.
The arrow arrived to pop the balloon and fell straight down onto the ground.It did'nt have enough energy to get past the balloon and stick into the target.
0 penetration from that arrow.
A feat it might be but does'nt impress me much.
Selfbowman:
Ed he’s a bad ass !!!! I don’t care if he had penetration he penetrated the ballon!🤠how often do folks shoot a animal at that distance. Not often.
BowEd:
That's for sure,but no kill.
So was Howard Hill with a kill.
