@@HistoricalWeapons I’ve never had a bow break after release but I’ve broken them wile drawing or stringing them. Have you ever had a bow break on release ? It would be safer if it broke after release as the limbs would fly away from you rather than towards you like when it breaks during drawing. I have seen it happen from dry firing.
@@andrewsock1608 I agree with Historical Archery on this, me personally I have had one snap at 29 inch draw upon release. And the limbs came down and hit my face and head. Left quite a lump with a cut on my face, and that was only a little 40 pounder.
@@NewandOldArchery wouldn’t the limbs fly forward if it was released ? It must have broke a fraction of a second before release. A lot of people give a little tug before release and that’s often when it breaks. A little tug on the string puts the arrow in motion and therefore makes it easier for the bow to get the arrow moving increasing FPS. Did you make the shot? If you made the shot then it broke after release. If the arrow dropped to the ground at your feet then it broke before release.
@@andrewsock1608 you know you bring up some great points. I will have to get a bow (just to break) and see. I will definitely do a video on this in the future. And get a super slow motion up close footage. But I will have put on like a army helmet on 😆 with some gloves. And make sure it’s a super weak bow 😝
Thanks. I will make sling vs bow vid soon. Can u test some chronograph speed and would you agree that sling compared to bow is less armor piercing but have greater potential at injuring target without piercing armor. While the bow has higher chance of lethal injuries against unarmored and more armor piercing. For maximum range both are comparable but for max effective range the sling is further around 150m with lead ammo. The sling can use shield more effectively and is cheaper
@@HistoricalWeapons Certainly can. I don't have a chronagraph, but can easily do accurate distance-time average velocity measurements at very close range (to get muzzle-velocity). Different length slings will yield different velocities, so I can test 3 different lengths. The sling varies greatly as a weapon depending on the projectile. Light lead bullets (more for economy and ~35g) are not as good as heavy lead bullets (~90g) damage-wise, and effective range is not that different either. Heavy stones (say, ~350g) provide very high impact and are good for aimed shots at closer ranges. Very heavy stones (~500g) provide the most impact, but are best hurled into a formation. Lead bullets in the 50g range can easily go 400m, so effective target-range 200m? Heavy stones from a sling generate significantly more kinetic energy and momentum than even 160lb longbows, but they don't pierce like an arrow. They work via blunt-force trauma, and they're great at it. Lead bullets probably don't penetrate as well as arrows, but heavy ones can also definitely exceed heavy-warbow energies so I'm not sure in that context. As you can see, context is definitely required regarding what a sling is capable of in comparison to the bow.
I always love hearing about the heavy bows dudes used to rock centuries ago. I saw somewhere that Englands archers would pull such heavy bows constantly their skeletal structures changed to be more suited for them to handle the heavy poundage
Back in the day, Fred Bear worked his way up from 40 lb bow up to a 90 lb pull. Amazing man. He weighed about 145.original wild man. He shot elephants, lions, Buffalo, you name it, he shot it.......
All they can say is whoever built that knew what they were doing nothing packs of punch like forget about it excellent job much appreciated 💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Historically, composite bows such as these were made of a wood core, sinew backing & a horn belly, with rigid wooden ends("Siyahs") acting as levers. The backing is outermost from the archer as he holds it to shoot, the belly closest to the archer. The wood is mainly to support the belly/backing , the sinew backing provides strong elasticity & the horn belly resists it. Well made it provides a more efficient bow than wood can. Modern reproductions are usually a single piece of fibreglass or carbon fibre, covered with leather to look the part, with wooden ends("Siyahs"). The horn belly on this bow Jack uses is quite unusual & that is what makes it "Hybrid" compared with either a common modern repro fibreglass bow or a traditionally made horn-wood-sinew composite bow. In appearance it is identical to historical examples & not far from them in performance.
So curious question I'm well versed in archery as I think you are too as I was growing up I was trained to point my right foot towards the target for better accuracy but every time I see you fire both of your feet are faced towards the camera and your right foot's not pointed towards the target why is that cuz I was trained to believe that pointing your right foot towards the target makes you more accurate. Hope you respond
@@HistoricalWeapons Oh Carebows? I actually have his Kaiyuan and Turkish hybrid. I actually like his product. Have you contact him about the delaminated?
Holy shit 135 with one arm? I can do 30 reps of rows with 135 on a barbell. There's no way I could do 270 for even one rep. How long does it take to get strong enough to pull it back? Do you have to lift weights?
Yo dude. The man who calibrated the bow in the end of video was talking in Indonesian language. He said Bisa gk? Tiga dua. Seratus tiga lima: can't it? 32, 135... And I wonder how can local Indonesian bow ended up in your hand. Do you have any video of weighing the bow that you really used?
Bro .....can i ask you......you do get arrow for such heavy bow......im struggle to find arrow when im upgrade for higher poundage......the lowest sp i find in my country is 250 sp
Try Sarmat Archery. They're Kyiv based so don't expect immediate deliveries, but I got mine last month from them (after the initial unexpected delay, ofc.). I think making custom high poundage arrows is within their capabilities. (tho mine were only for a 65lb bow)
