History has been made! Congratulations Alan Case!
« on: August 26, 2025, 10:37:17 am »
For 2 years Alan has been trying to break the longest distance shot set by Harry Drake. Yesterday Alan finally accomplished this goal. He sent an arrow over a mile in distance.  Thats a far distance considering a few years ago he was struggling to just get past one foot. ;) Alan, you just created a new challenge for someone else to spend a lifetime to chase, and you didnt make it easy for them. Congratulations on a job well done!

Congrats to Alan for an amazing accomplishment. Over a mile with an arrow seems insane.

I think Alan is shooting a foot bow and last I heard he was making composite bamboo arrows
