That was awesome Peter.

If you notice, there is a slow move forward of the arrow then faster move forward in some of the sequences. I thought was interesting. At first I thought it was adjustment at the anchor with a little let down. As I looked at later shots, it was the actual release if the arrow as the string rolls off the fingers. When the string if fully released the arrow moves faster.

I also thought the first arrow showed very little paradox at release. Those are well tuned arrows and a great release.

I will be watching this over and over.

Thanks for posting.

Many thanks folks!!  In fact, the arrows are on the stiff side. The bow is 50 #, and the 23/64" cedar arrows are spined 65 to 69 lbs. I use heavy, 145 to 160 gr. points, I suspect that combo, together with large 5 1/2" fletch, is the key for the proper launching of the arrows.

mmisciag, yes, I also looked on that, and thought it is a creeping release, then I realized the same, the arrow idles when the string has finished rolling over the fingertips.

Thanks folks! On that one, you can watch a Sunset Hill longbow at work. "White Eagle", 67" 61@27" by Nate Steen. He named it to honor Howard Hill's show longbow. A great bow! The black backed longbow is the Howard Hill by Caig Ekin, same like in the slow motion clip.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivb6RWJVGh4&feature=plcp&context=C451fe2dVDvjVQa1PpcFNxX7l6QPWVtdm-jgzMl-6EbbhyS8acQXc=

Nice video Peter, thanks for posting!  Ted Fry at Raptor Archery turned me on to your book 'Legends In Archery' which is a very good read as well, I recommend it to anyone interested in the history of modern archery.

Thank you,

Brad

Many thanks friends!  Thanks, Brad for compliments! It was a special feeling, for an Austrian to write on the US archery pioneers. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!  Yes, Ted Fry offers it, he also gave photos to me for making the book, so did a lot of US archers and folks and helped me. Thanks also here to this guys!   :)
