If you're working on trick archery, Andersen offers a solid recommendation: go with versatility over pure power. Andersen is committed to showing that historical archery can be just as entertaining , if not more so, than what is portrayed in Hollywood today. With tricks like shooting around people, he's making a strong case. Type keyword s to search. Today's Top Stories. It seems so simple. Put the arrow on the bow, aim and shoot.
But why then is there so much talk about equipment? Who make the best broadhead? Should I switch to a different type of arrow rest? Because its fun. We all have a drive to learn and the more we learn the more we crave. Perhaps I should start by offering a little background of myself. As I got older and Flex-Fletch Products was just beginning, I helped fill orders in our home office by hand counting and packaging vanes.
My dad was always traditional when it came to archery and never used a sight or release aid. His one concession was the compound bow. He preferred to shoot instinctively and since he was my dad and I looked up to him I decided that was the style for me.
By definition a paradox is a statement or situation which seems contradictory. Whereas in reality a penny saved is a penny not spent. The term "Archer's Paradox" was coined by Dr.
Robert P. Elmer, a well-known archery author in the s. He used high speed film to analyze the behavior of an arrow upon release. Due to the forces placed on the string from the fingers release the string is essentially flung leftwards, assuming a right handed shooter.
Perhaps this is not a true paradox, but close enough. For the purposes of this article all references to the shooter hereafter will assume a right handed shooter, standard 3 finger release. We will be taking the path of least language. While the forces on an arrow in flight are much more extreme than this, by breaking it down we will be able to better understand the physical forces present during this event. We prepare our two items the bow and the arrow, by putting the nock end of the arrow on the string at the prepared nock point.
Proper nocking points are made of tread mixed with a drop of glue or ready made metallic nocking points which you just press with pliers on the string. Proper placement of the nock on the string is critical to arrow flight. Some say the arrow should be level and some say the nock should be slightly high.
Usually a little trial and error is called for. We begin to draw the bow string back until the bow is at full draw. Our arrow is secured to the string via the nock. The energy stored in the bow is now quite significant and we want to be sure we hit our target. The moment the string is released incredible forces take over and place the arrow under a great amount of strain. In a very small amount of time the arrow goes through quite a lot.
When an archer releases the string using a traditional finger grip the string will ultimately slide off the fingers and move left creating a leftward thrust on the rear of the arrow, this creates a slight bend in the arrow. The arrow then tries to compensate for this by moving back to the right and then again back to the left in decreasing amounts until the arrow is flying true.
The acceleration of the arrow plays a part here. The rear of the arrow has now begun to accelerate and there is a curvature to the shaft. Another way is to use a release aid. In many cases the use of a release aid can have a dramatic effect on reducing the wobble of the arrow, A. There is always some oscillating no matter what shaft or bow is used. The best we can do is control as much of it as possible. Now that the arrow is on its way to the target and is oscillating what we would like most is to dampen the oscillations as quickly as possible.
To play along, can you explain how this is a world building question? I discovered that fact and it completely blew my mind and I wanted to share that in this world building forum if anyone else could need that info I guess that's also one of the ideas of that forum: Not only the asker gets the information but anyone else can look it up or else everybody would delete his question after he got his answer. I was simple curious if you posted this question as a way to garner more points.
I apologize if I have offended you. I would like to add that in the movie "wanted" bullet spinning was a core part of the movie. So its possible your steampunk men or dwarves will also show off their superior marksmen skills.
I only wanted to share the information somehow - before I post a question I first browse if something about that topic has been already posted so I thought maybe someone doing research could find that handy.
