Archers Paradox - Super slow motion video

Super slow motion footage of traditional bowshooting.SAFETY FIRST!!! The breaking arrow at the end of the video was NOT due to a lack of knowledge on my part - IT WAS QUITE DELIBERATE !!!Different arrows shot from a 70 lbs recurve bow (a custom-made KHAN, by BORDER ARCHERY). At the end you will see what a 65 lbs recurve bow can do to an arrow (Port Orford cedar-spine 25-30, 100 grain tip, 30 inches long). I expected the arrow to break - it took the 70 lbs KHAN to make the arrow explode! The drawlength was 29 inches. This video will show you the archer's paradox and gives you an idea of how dangerous it can be to use the wrong spine. By the way, I was wearing a helmet and a good wrap of leather around my bow hand during the "dangerous" shots.For your own safety, and also for your bow (it's akin to dry firing your bow), please don't try this at home!

Arrows are supposed to bend, its from the very high velocity from the bow.

@Springbokker haha ;)you're wrong.it has to bend to go around the handle.Nick

Can you not understand that the bow used here is much too strong for the arrow? That is why it is bending and breaking. This is very dangerous and you should learn this before you try to shoot more arrows and hurt yourself.

How can wood bend like spaghetti? Too much water - you must keep your arrows dry if you want to shoot straight. Maybe wet arrows can shoot round corners, like a boomerang.
