When days are hectic, I love watching these videos. I learn, I relax, and I appreciate the workmanship and knowledge you both share on here. Most appreciated!
Awesome! Thank you! That is good to hear.
I really appreciate what you have say and especially the wry sense of humour. Thank you.
You are so welcome
Love your work🙏thx for sharing your wisdom
I appreciate that, any other videos you can comment and like on really helps the channel survive.
Very good information for those of us who are quite green at this arrow launching game....
Glad it was helpful.
Excellent video as usual.
wish me luck, going on my first 3D competition this year in Sweden, with my Great Plains Longbow 45lbs.
got hooked on Bamboo arrows a year ago, I have even bought flowerpots(Bamboo), put 4hrs of work on them to get them straight, and grinding away the knuckles, and they working fine, and cost almost nothing, only a hell a lot of work, but I love the Longbows and the all types of arrows, I have been doing tests with arrows, tapered Cedar in one end, or both ends, mixing with different Tip weights, and FOCs, so finally after 9 years I have started to use my testing arrows on competitions, and I had a few victories among the veterans, but this year I will try my wings with the Elit guys.
Im also went this year from splitfinger (glove), to 3 under with Tab, and on top I went from instinctive to a Gap shooter.
I have improve my shooting a lot with above, so these days I do more practice shooting then arrow testing.
Got Swedish License, and last year even my Spanish, I live half time in Sweden( summertime) and winter in Spain.
Got many good advices from you guys, and others like Clay Hayes/Gary Chymne, Joel Turner and many others, there is a lot on Tube to learn from others. is it allowed to shoot Bamboo arrows on a normal competition in UK?
Tried River Canes as well, very light and sensitive, and breaks much easier then Bamboo or Cedar wood arrows.
One day I will buy a true British Longbow, and shoot only historical arrows, haven't got that far yet ha ha.
Take good care Guys, and thanks again for always having good videos
Thanks, glad you like the video, please share if you can. Good luck with the 3D competition!
Well done guys! I have been building my own arrows for years and this is a very fine video!!
Thanks, appreciate it.
I will like.to buy some of your arrows. Ps thanks fore a knowledge you giving me .
Any time
You can also shoot aerial targets with flu flu's. Frisbees are fun! There is an archery dove hunting season here also. I don't hunt, but if I did, it looks challenging. I love the pushmi-pullyu arrow. (Dolittle reference there)
Yes, have a look at our Popinjay video.
@@longbows Thanks, I will!
Great vid team, good fun.
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy Christmas, Head family! God bless you and yours.
Same to you!
Great video!
Thanks!
Great content thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Could you do a video on how to make footed arrows and those horn nocks please?
OK, will do.
Excellent very useful ❤
Glad it came in handy, are you making a set?
@Richard Head Longbows trying to sort out a set for clout , can't quite make the distance with what I have , gonna try cutting down the feathers
Maybe this will help...ruclips.net/video/7wYnq-C3Nsc/видео.html
@@longbows excellent tks ,
I enjoyed the video about arrows it would be nice to know what different types of wood and arrows make a difference I was thinking about getting some bamboo and lindenwood
Great suggestion!
I’d actually love to see you do repairing wood shaft arrows just cause you guys are incredibly talented craftsmen. The crowning of arrows I’d like to see you doing as well. As always great video. Great advice and can lead everyone down deep rabbit holes. But yes that little difference in fletching I’ve found to be a difference some days. So I have my 4” and 3” or less fletching. I haven’t yet done the cutting down the height yet but that too is interesting. Thanks again.
Hi, we dont repair arrow shafts. If by crowning you mean cresting, then we have done a few videos showing that process. Thanks for veiwing and commenting.
Sorry you mentioned “footing” for that tapered hardwood insert. Sorry not crowning. Honestly I just love seeing you both work it’s very interesting and completely geeky for me to see how you do the work.
Ah, I see, footing.
Another important point id like to add is wasted energy by not tuning the arrows correctly.. Fishtailing from a weak/stiff spine will waste energy through the air.. Larger feathers will hide it to a great extent.. I was alarmed when a bow I shot fairly well with, started to misbehave when I put on some small 2 inch target feathers.. Spine was out of whack and they were fishtailing all the way to the target.. As soon as I sorted the spine out on the shafts, coupled with the 2 inch feathers, I was getting amazing distance and accuracy.. Without fine tuning the spine coupled with 2 inch feathers I was getting very erratic arrow patterns downrange..3 inch would make it look like they were perfectly suited.. But the range was afull...😆
Intersting points, thanks.
Really great lesson. I still shoot mostly aluminum, so I can get away with one set for everything. But, I really do want to build sets of wooden arrows in the future. I presume the barrel shafted arrows are done so one can get adequate spine while reducing the shaft diameter to a minimum overall. Is there any reason (besides time and trouble) to not treat ones field arrows this way? Yes, I have broken aluminum arrows while field shooting (pesky branches and rocks).
I wouldent recommend barreling for field arrows.
never thought about not being able to hunt in a country
I am glad to have given you a new perspective, it's always interesting to learn of different cultures. thanks for watching the videos
As my mom likes to say: if the peasant can't swim it's the fault of the swimming trunks...
Moms know best.
I will like to get like 6claud arrows .how I my find your shop . please
Hi, are you in the UK?
--to say--
Right then boys! What do you know about flight arrows ? when I was a kid our local sports shop sold a lot of archery kit, and I remember them selling Flight arrows which were fletched with two broad undyed feathers. Any info ?
We show an example of a flight arrow in the video. It was rare for sports shops to sell archery stuff, it would be very unlikely if they sold flight arrows, I have never heard or seen one with 2 fletches. I used to know someone at the flight competitions I used to attend back in the 80s who shot without feathers, as long as the arrow is matched to the bow you don't necessarily need them.
@@longbows Sixty years ago,George Brown of Browns sports shop in Cobham Surrey sold everything from Guns to maggots !
He told me thats what they were, and I trust his word. Apropos of nothing very much,he had been very high in the Queens prize listings and took up archery when his eyesight got too bad for Bisley.
Great, good to hear.
Please, what is the minimum gran per pound, You would suggest for an English Longbow?
I have never used such a formula, as you can see from the video we have shown many different arrows all weighing differently but all for the same bow. The only think I would avoid is using modern aluminium etc with a longbow or using light weight target arrows with a very heavy warbow. As long as the wooden arrows match for spine they will be OK.
@@longbows Thank You, Sir!
I can't imagine how hunting can be illegal
OK
Normally I shoot arrows around 10 gpp weight with my English Longbows. What would be the weight for a clout arrow?
Try with what you have and adjust if necessary, you may find adjusting your shooting technique is the most important thing.
@@longbows Thank You!
What would you recommend for LARPing style padded heads and a Max of a 35 lb bow?
I would suggest you talk to yoru equipment officer within your group. Everyone has different rules for that sort of thing.
@@longbows well the only rule on Arrow Fletching in the game that I'm playing is that there is some and they're in good repair I was hoping for some info on what kind of Fletching might help compensate for the bulbous head
How about the 2 we mentioned in the video, can you use those?
@@longbows oh I certainly could use any of them I was just reaching out to someone who knows more about Arrow Construction wondering if you had any theories that would be relevant eventually I'm just going to have to field test various types
@@longbows currently my theory that I haven't been able to test yet is that the flu-flu style will help but I really don't know
