I don't know exactly what he used this time, but previously Alan was using a composite recurve foot bow of his own design and manufacture that pulled 200+lb at whatever the draw length was. The arrows are solid carbon fibre rods less than 12" long that use razor blade stock for fletching. They look very much like big darts rather than a traditional arrow. Alan has said one of the biggest challenges is finding those small arrows after you have shot them over 5000ft away and I don't doubt that at all.
The technical achievement is simply staggering.
