Looking for a 400 yard shot

[sleek]

I wish I had a spot to shoot. But the math equals out to a potential 486 yard shot and I just cant find a clearing big enough. I spine test them, and I static balance them, and I can tie a string around the dynamic center of balance and spin the arrow over my head like a control line airplane to test for how well it balances in flight, but thats really it.

Here's a few action shots from the event. My wife is shooting her 35 pounders, and me with my 85. The guy in the crazy wolf outfit, his name is Jozsef Monus, one of the best archers in the world, and he is shooting my 85 in a practice round. Thats him at the point he released the arrow on accident, and it landed 10 yards from the world record distance. With proper arrows and string this bow can break the record and sail well into the 400 yard territory.

Congrats to you and your wife on the record. The bows look awesome. I’ve only just started making broadhead arrows and it seems so tricky. Can’t imagine flight arrows.

I wish I had a spot to shoot......potential 486 yard

if a guy had a way recover arrows at fifty yards or less
you could fine tune the clean release and fletching issues

Thing is, these arrows are .300" thick, moving at speeds over 250 fps. They like to explode when hitting a target. If I could find a target that allows these arrows to sink in and not break that would help. Paper tuning would get me leaps and bounds into getting good flight.  Anyone know of a good target for stopping flight arrows?

I have heard of using large plastic bags loosely stuffed with the lightweight plastic grocery bags for a backstop

a screen in front of it for paper tuning sound like a good idea.
