      Also when shooting lot its easier, and cheaper to get modern arrows. I feel wooden arrows tend to also get damaged more, but especially for war bow poundage arrows tend to be quite expensive if they are historically correct. Like he said himself in the video its lot cheaper to use these arrows, and he uses the bow mainly to build up strenght so who cares what arrows he uses

    Always fun to watch some war bowing.
    Remember reading some ancient war archers would carry up to 5 bows with them, and would usually have some heavy wood longbows for training or maybe hunting when you don't want to risk damaging a nice composite bow

    I think there is something really cool about being able to draw really heavy bows that appeals to me more than accuracy shooting.

    As far as using bows as spears goes, some of the best Native archers in the land now claimed as the southeastern United States used their bows as staves/clubs according to Garcilaso de la Vega. In one case, blows from multiple archers with bows used as bludgeons break a Spaniard's shield & leave him badly injured. In another, blows from a bow turned club to a helmeted head cause pain & draw blood but fail to incapacitate. The Spaniard in question responds with a fatal sword thrust.

    Have fun for whatever reason you want. Some think yew is faster at the same draw weights but hickory holds its draw weight longer (compresses less/slower) and is more durable (less likely to ding/crack). The less you use it the longer it will last; unstring as soon as you're done shooting/training.

    I offered an 'archery experience' at a friends BBQ. Had a couple of folk have a go on a 22Ib longbow. One chap (Dave) wanted to try a more powerful bow, so I gave him a go on a 40Ib longbow. he shot that bow like he had been shooting for years. I then let him draw a 80lb (after advising him on heavy bow technique). No problem - he drew that bow effortlessly. The only other bow I had with me was a 110lb longbow. He drew that too, full draw and could hold it. I reckon he could have been loosing arrows from that bow with a couple of hours tuition. Her had never picked a bow before! The guy did regular gym sessions and a a physical job. He also lived on the Welsh borders - I think it was in his DNA!

    Hi jack.
    Since you are shooting such a draw weight with 200 spine arrows, do you think 300 spine is OK for 80 pounds at 35-36 inches? Also what is your experience with plastic nocks and warbows, what is the maximum draw weight when they are safe in your opinion? Especially something like M or K nocks from Vermil (they seem pretty sturdy to me).

    @MustObeyTheRules 9 месяцев назад +3

    I think the massive length of these bows makes them extremely inefficient. If you could somehow make a much shorter bow and still have the same draw length and weight, it would absolutely blow that thing away. The draw weight sounds big and scary but with the length, it isn’t being stressed as hard and is having to throw all that extra limb around to propel the arrow. So I think the power these things put out is extremely underwhelming compared to what people think they do.
