I started out on a 35# fiberglass bow 60 years ago! 60# Bear Grissly to later 70# compoun bow. Recurves of heavier weight hard to condition for and shoot. Used to practice for 2 months before deer season! Compounds, just a week before season, to reconfirm sights and string release wrist devise! Love you great form. Something myistical about mastering the bow and arrow, and it sure changes your focus in the field.
I think your right about the heavier bows. I also think the best way is to stay I shape with the heavy bows. Working up to a heavy weight can easily render an injury. If you don't hunt at all, then the lighter draw weights are just fine, in my opinion. And thanks 👍
Some informations on bowstring material manufacturer etc. Would be nice cause the blackfood has a dacron stock string on it and the other ones some higer quality strings i guess for the price difference. This alone can make a difference from 5 to 10fps! Nice informative test btw:)
Weight of the arrow is the most important thing when it comes to speed. Also a longbow can handle a heavier arrow and is basically silent with the right set up. Longbow is peak hunting, recurve is peak target. But as always there is never an always in archery
Very interesting! Maybe next time try a 430-450gr arrow. I have 2 Bear Super Grizzly recurve bows in 40lb ( pulling 42lb) and my light hunting arrow is 500.4gr while my 2 heavy arrows go 603.5 and 620grs. I don't know how fast they go but out to 18 maybe 20 yards they look pretty fast.
@@greeneyesfromohio4103 As yet I have not used my 40's on deer, I just switched over in April. At my draw both pull 42lbs. A show called Traditional Shots sees the girl using 42lb bows taking deer out to 23-25 yards, I hope that helps answer your question. Another show suggests limiting shots to 18 yds!
Very good video and 15-20 feet makes a difference at say 25 yards and out. Would like to see this agan but with maybe a light arrow to like say 7 gpp and a very heavy one like 12-13 gpp. Ive heard longbows are better at heavier arrows and recurves better at lighter so would be awesome to see if there is even more difference .
Longbows aren't better with heavier arrows. They are more comfortable to shoot with slight heavier arrows. Buts this is also dependant on the shape of the bow, and the draw weight. Or out it this way, the heavier the limbs, the heavier the arrow must be to bury the handshock being dispursed through the limbs, as the bow comes back to braceheight. I could so a video on the longbow if you want.

Great test, very interesting, exacting results collected! Fine job, thank you sir!🏹
@@johnrichard6639 your welcome 👍
Incredible consistency there, that proves an excellent technique & loose. 👌
@@stevenlord782 thanks 👍😊
Thanks for the information. Very interesting results.
Very interesting thanks for sharing.

Im transitioning to a longbow for quietness. Yours was very quiet
They usually are, unless you go for very light Arrows. 12 gpp is preferable for noise, and sent slow down the bow very much.
Very interesting test.
Thank you for sharing.
Can you do the same kind of test with one bow and different arows weight ?
Thanks. Yes I can 👍
Very good test!

Do you deer hunt with your 40# Bear grizzly? How does the lower draw weight perform on deer?

No surprises there in terms of speed. You also need to work on your videos sound levels. Terrible.

@@scandinavianarcher7015 thank you.
The sound is very low .
Спасибо ! Очень наглядно ! Разница примерно 5%, 7% процентов между классическим лонгбоу и рекурсивным луком. 3м/с - это не о чём !
Im sorry. I can't copy to translate
