Excellent presentation, NU. As a former jarhead sniper, I can tell you that even something as simple as a heartbeat will have a significant affect on your sighting, especially when using a long-range rifle. I could see evidence of your heartbeat (transmitted through your hands) to "throb" the laser point ever-so-slightly it in the video. Plus, after a not-too-far distance, the laser cannot be seen during daylight operations. No laser sights for this old Marine. I'll calculate "my dope" using the old method and put a round where it needs to go almost every time. Keep up the great work, NU. I thoroughly enjoy your channel although I am not an archer.

And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible.

@@neitherlink6612 A shaking video can be stabilized in software. To simplify things, the camera app could only show you the middle portion of the actual recorded image. If you shake your phone, the App will calculate how to move the displayed section to minimize the changes to the previous image. Plus some detection if you actually want to move the camera slowly. If you are interested, you can have a look at the VirtualDub Plugin Deshaker. That can take a shaking video and stabilize it with pretty incredible results.

With a firearm, there is a line of sight that starts at you eye, moves through the sight, and ends at the target. This line intersects with the trajectory of the bullet and that is where your sight is sighted to. At any other distance your shot will be either above or below the target. With a bow, this is amplified since the arrow will have much more drop than a bullet. That is why many bows have pin sights with 3-5 pins for different distances. its because each pin is only useful for one set distance.

@JarlSeamus

An arrow actually has the exact same drop as a bullet. It's a function of gravity. All objects fall at a rate of 32 feet/second Squared. The difference is a bullet travels exponentially faster. For example, say an arrow is fired at a target and it takes it 1 second to get there. (arbitrarily 500 feet) Gravity will cause 32 feet of drop in the projectile over the course of 1 second. A bullet fired at the same target will get there in a fraction of that time, so the amount of drop from gravity will likewise be a small fraction of the arrows.

@Eagles_Eye

SSniper14 PB to add to the other guy, an arrow actually jumps up away from the bow before it comes down to where you were aiming. You don't aim it up to compensate for the drop. At first the arrow will actually fly higher than where you were aiming. For example at close range you would actually aim far below the horizontal point of the arrow otherwise you would hit to high due to the jump, at a certain point the arrow will hit at the exact height the bow was. And any distance after that you do have to compensate for drop and at that point the arrow drops really really quick unlike a bullet. Edit The higher the bow draw weight the flatter the trajectory. I got a 35# falco storm it has a rather fast arrow but it still jumps the arrow +- 60cm higher than the straight horizontal aim point at a distance of 18m I don't know exactly at what distance my arrow actually hits dead center horizontally but my guess is around 25m before I compensate for drop, now I actually compensate down because of the jump. Add to that I don't hold the arrow horizontal on my normal draw due to my anchor point so it adds another 20cm to the compensation downwards If ( I don't) if I had to use gap my arrowtip actually hits the floor below the target to hit the bullseye on the target

Yes, which means the downward speed after one second is 32 feet/second. Which means the average speed over that 1 second was only 16 feet/second so it dropped 16 feet over that second. Go and check back your physics lectures from school, the second SQUARED is quite important and not to be put in brackets.

Speaking from personal experience (i.e observing/communicating with other people at the local ranges I visit), all these barebow vs freestyle arguments often disappear once a person actually gains enough experience in archery regardless of what discipline they decided to follow. The concept of "consistency" and "variables" within the context of archery are sadly things that people really have to experience themselves before they realize if they truly knew what the hell they were talking about when they initially brought up those arguments.

Did you even watch the video? The problem is exactly the same for a reflex sight as for a laser sight. In fact it's even worse because an archer cannot look directly in the device, which is required for reflector sights.

Next Week: NUSensei reviews Win and Win's 30 megawatt Laser! Not only does it mark the bull's eye, it disintegrates off target arrows so every shot it a 10!

The way I see it: bare bows are like pistols, agile, fast, good for short range, while Olympic style recurve are like snipers, slow, big and precise, better suited for long distances. Each one requires a specific and different skill set. You don’t see people bothering a sniper saying he should take of his scope, so people should stop annoying Olympic recurve archers about their sights….

@randomnobody660

you don't, except a sniper serves a practical purpose, whether olympic style recurve is a sport. If you are an actual soldier, nobody cares what you use. You can use all sorts of performance enhancers if you wish, you may sabotage the enemy, you do anything to win. Sport is not like that. The way i see it, we expect athletes who compete at the highest level to do incredible things. Yes, even with gadgets taking away some of the things you had to do, it is still a test of skills, but there's a limit of how much is ok. Say would you be ok with using a sort of kick stand to hold the bow steady as well? The aiming part is still there, the drawing part is still there, it just helps with aiming more, why is a kickstand different than stabilizers? What about using a crossbow instead? if you are ok with people using a clicker to help with draw length, a crossbow basically does the same thing, except better. You see, it is all about scale. This isn't just sophistry either. If i recall correctly, olympics swimmers can't use high tech swimwear. clearly your "Each one requires a specific and different skill set" therefore any gadget is ok as long as skill is still involved argument does not apply universally.

@NUSensei

Crossbow is a competitive division in World Archery. As with all sports, there are rules and regulations, and it is a competitive sport where people can shoot better than others using the same equipment. A hypothetical kickstand would be impractical for a bow, but in the spirit of the comment (in the same way modern shooting sport has this), we would come to expect that shooters will still distinguish themselves in skill through shot execution, but with the score gap being much closer. The swimwear example was controversial because people with the high-tech suits were competing against swimmers who didn't have them. It became an issue of haves vs. have-nots. If there was a separate event or classification that ONLY uses these suits, then we'd again see the direct comparison of skill between athletes. A good competition is one where the participants are able to distinguish themselves in meeting the objective. As long as rules and regulations clearly promote an equal playing field, it is valid. Whether it is fun to watch or do is a different matter.

@randomnobody660

Thanks for the information. i was not aware of the reason why swimsuits were banned. As for the rest, I agree with the level playing field one, thou i would argue a "good" competition has to half more than just that. Again, to take things to the extreme, i would say for example aiming a crossbow on a stand to shoot at a relative close range is not a good sport even thou it does provide a even playing field, and those better at aiming will do better. Now if i were to define what i consider to be a "good" competition, i do think spectator value matters, especially when it is an olympic sport, which i believe is more than just a competition to see who is better at something very specific. These games originally played to please gods should have entertainment values, and since very often people associate national pride or are otherwise become quite invested in things they normally do not care about, i feel like the feat should seem at first sight impressive too (it would be quite woeful if, say, the US had more medals than anybody else because their team won all categories of staring contests). (I think you will agree with me a staring contest, or a drinking contest for that matter, takes some skills, can be done on a even playing field, and still be a bad competition, at least for an olympic game.) I do not mean to say that olympic archery as it is now is such a bad competition, rather my point was really about that i do NOT feel (while the original poster seems to) that it is equally absurd to suggest a sport should have different rules than to suggest a soldier should not use everything he can to survive and accomplish his mission.

Leaving aside that I was referring to sniper in a competition scenario (yes, it exists) and not on the soldier in a mission scenario, that was only an example in order to make a point. The thing is, and if you have ever shot a bow you’d know it, one of the hardest aspect of archery is to hit a target that is far away. If you have a good instructor, basically anyone can hit a close target with a bare bow with maybe a year of training, but to hit a target at 70m away consistently, even with all the gadgets of an Olympic recurve, you need years, some times more than 10 years, and even then you may never get to be good enough to be competitive in an international level, without the gadgets it would simply be impossible. What they did in an Olympic competition was getting one of the hardest aspects of archery and turned that into a sport. Since it’s more entertaining to see people hitting the target than missing it most of the times, they allowed the use of sights. Witch by the way are optional, the competition actually is “freestyle recurve”. I’m from Brasil, and here we have project where our national team brought native-americans (who are the best bare bow shooters I’ve ever seen) to train Olympic archery, and even they, in the Olympic competition setting, have to use all the gadgets available in order to consistently hit the target at 70m

@randomnobody660

6 жыл бұрын

Forgive me for the misunderstanding then, and thnx for the info. The biggest problem I see with this argument you present is that you are starting with the assumption that the target is always 70m away. Of course it is hard to hit a target far away, that goes without saying, but exactly HOW far the target is is always up for debate. I do not see any inherent flaws with an archery competition where people shoot without clickers at say 60 or 50 meters away. If we were to go back to the sniper analogy, imo the main reason that analogy does not stand is because sniper rifles existed with a scope before the competition came about, whether bows did not have stabilizers and clickers prior to the competition. This rests on our concept of what is normal. I would argue most people's concept of the most generic sniper rifle includes a scope whether most people's concept of a generic bow does not include stabilizers not clickers. Since i would argue similarly most people's concept of a pistol does not include a scope, asking archers to remove stabilizers from their bow is like asking shooters to remove scopes for their pistols, both are perfectly reasonable. On that note, your argument for stabilizers is akin to a gunner saying it's not realistic to hit a target from more than 40 meters away without addons, to which I will also ask, why not move the target close then. Once again, there;s nothing wrong with having a competition where people use stabilizers, just as there is nothing wrong with a pistol competition that allow scopes, but asking for one without either addon is not absurd, and the discussion is not trivial; it is not at all like asking for a sniper's scope to be removed. Is a sniper without a scope even still a sniper or does it just become a high powered very accurate rifle?

Yep. Breathing and even heartbeat will make your aim point move. Experienced shooters (guns/archers) know how to compensate for those natural deviations.

@sciverzero8197

6 жыл бұрын

don't forget muscle shake. Muscles don't squeeze perfectly, and even if they did, perfectly consistent levels of pressure wouldn't necessarily be desired, as anything that alters the aim externally, needs to be manually compensated for as well. This is why you shake more with the 'deathgrip' than the loose one. With a loose grip, the bow is being controlled mostly by the hand that is drawing, and the pivot point is at the bow grip. The shake of the draw hand will contribute much less deviation than the grip hand, at the same pivot (for geometric reasons). However with a death grip, the bow is being controlled almost entirely by the grip hand, meaning any deviation due to heart, breath, or muscle tension will be amplified. And yes, experienced shooters can compensate for jitter, but not 100%. You would need a shooting vice mounted solidly to a concrete floor and even then footsteps in the room might still shake the bow to some extent. Having tried laser sights myself.... I found them useless in any kind of free aim. Only when using a rest did the sight become visibly stable enough to get any idea whether it was even on the target. Lasers are overrated and usually a waste of money... lots and lots of money...

I thought it was interesting that you used a graphic of Marvel’s Hawkeye. I am not a follower of the comic, but I do enjoy his character in the movies. I assume that his fictional, high tech bowsight within the movies employs some sort of range detection to target, along with active guidance of the arrow while in flight. Essentially, a fire and forget weapon. Hawkeye selects a target, has the bow show the target to the arrow, and then releases. Really just a small version of how a guided missile works today. Tracking a locked target through some part of the EM spectrum, and the fletching using active guidance fin technology to intercept the target. Given the level of miniaturization we have developed, such a weapon is probably practically achievable today. If you were willing to have a twenty million dollar bow and two million dollar arrows. Thanks for your series, very enjoyable.

I'm a (target) pistol shooting instructor and even though I have never held a bow, I'm fascinated by your videos. It's interesting to see how much apparently completely different shooting disciplines have in common. I struggle with the same problems with beginners; getting them to accept that they can't hold perfectly still, they can't even stand still. (Try it; your body rocks slightly back and forth no matter what you do.) The most common beginner problem is that they try to force the shot when "it looked perfect", instead of focusing on the trigger action and sights and just let the shot happen. The fact that they must focus on the sights and not the target comes as a surprise to many as well.

Not still enough. Even the "statues" are not standing completely still. It might look like it from a distance, but it you'd look really closely you'd see that there's a small rocking movement, just a few millimeters. This, together with the equally tiny movement in your arm (which you can't hold perfectly still either), is very apparent when you're aiming sights at a target 25 meters away. The problem some shots have is to just accept it. It might cause them to "freeze" and not take the shot soon enough, and/or force it with a jerking movement which ruins the shot completely. But, as you say, there are techniques to *minimize* your movements, but it will never be perfectly still. A great shot (Olympic level) once said "A [pistol] shot who is perfectly still is dead." ;)

At the competition level it is exactly the same. Shot for shot consultancy. Even for combat. the same grip, draw, sight picture sight alignment, trigger pull, every time for consistent hits. Same thing for archery. Pistols are customized to minimize the human factor and maximize consistency. Grips, trigger and trigger pull weight, The slide ported, the barrel magna ported, compensators etc. Archers have all their stuff to do the same stuff for them.

Hi I knew someone who had a laser sight and got to have a go on it on an indoor range at 18m. I experienced all the things you mentioned with regards to stabilization and the dot moving everywhere. It was super distracting and made shooting much harder. What you don't realise until you try it in a busy club, is how annoying it is for everyone else on the range! Everyone's eyes are drawn to this crazy dot flying around my target. It pretty much stopped everyone else from shooting and I had to wait till everyone else had finished shooting each end. Totally impractical but it was really fun to have a go with.

What are your thoughts on the accubow trainer, worth the money? Is the Bow Trainer from Prairie Innovations better?

I would find it interesting how much stabilizers improved your ability to paint a target with these laser sights. Might make an interesting video for the future, more so for teaching about stabilizers (although you covered that a little in another video) than laser sights. Thanks for your videos.

You are 100% correct, and explained that very well, I mainly shoot instinctive and bare bow, there are just so many variables when shooting a bow, that a laser is pointless, I dont even have on my crossbows, engineers have thought about this and there are stabilised scopes with rangefinders, expensive, for hunting, which makes for more humane accurate shots, but kind of defeats the purpose of bow hunting, might as well use a rifle. How accurate do you need to be? I can hit a man size target at 70 yards with a barebow and a rabbit consistently at 15yds, right now maybe 80-90% of the time, thats good enough for me, its a hobby, part of the fun of the barebow, is that it is so variable, even Paul Harrel has flyers shooting guns!

To borrow from the rifle world, it all comes down to good "points of contact". For a typical bow you only have the forward hand and the cheek hand. A crossbow allows you to shoulder it for more solid points of contact. A typical maximum range "off hand" with a rifle is 200 yards, but for a pistol, maybe 50 yards because outstretched arms are less stable than a shoulder. If you crouch and put your elbow on your knee you get even stronger support. The prone and benchrest positions increase it even more. The most you can do is where you are in the benchrest or prone position and don't even shoulder the gun, because during recoil your shoulder moves more inconsistently than "free recoiling" the gun. I would love to see a shoulder stock on a non-crossbow. You still have to hold the full draw, but there is a firm shoulder support that completely avoids the string but allows you to take more accurate shots than a normal bow.

The video is very well what happens is that this technology is changing, we are some people who are developing new bows that are powered by gas and that surely the arc manufacturers like hoyt are studying for the near future. a greeting

hi just wanna give a bit of production advice, at like 4:20 and beyond where your aiming the sight at the knob, i would have loved to seen a picture in picture of you holding the bow, to see how still at looks in comparison to the shake of the laser

👋 hey what's the name of the brand of the bow your using in this video I like the carbon fiber edition looks nice 👍🏻

The new bow sights with a builtin range finder that automatically adjusts your pin placement may be the newest technology that helps the archer.

Also the fact that lasers or any form of "projecting light" style sights like say a flash light(just as example) are significantly harder to see when the light around it is also significantly bright.

I am cross dominant right handed and left eye dominant, with only 50% vision in my right eye. My left eye vision is perfect when using glasses to correct for astigmatism. Tried several conventional sights, cheap to expensive but with no success. Fitted a laser sight, fine tuned it. Bingo hitting the target every time, sure it shows up shake more but it is in effect a lever with the ratio of draw length to target distance. (This is a good indication off what I need to correct). This ratio does no change except for distance range. I can compensate for range easily. Without the laser sight I could not do archery. So I feel it is very useful under these circumstances.

However the amount of shake is still the same regardless of sight type the laser shows it up more clearly so it can help you to compensate for it as you have better optical feedback. In my case and opinion a laser sight is a great help. Your argument is fundamentally flawed.

I have a laser sight (pointer) on my recurve hunting bow. If you shoot a recurve you know that, unlike a compound bow, speed is critical. The longer you hold a recurve bow drawn the shakier you get. Because I'm not looking through a sight or scope, I find that the laser helps me get the shaft on target quicker.

Laser sight on a bowfishing bow is actually quite common. I have one bopping around in my bowfishing gear somewhere. I always forget to put it on my bow when I take it out in the boat. Although it's only useful in lower light conditions and/or in water that's not overly cloudy

Should you dry fire the accubow? Seeing that there is no arrow for it

Very good! But what about laser arrows though?

thank you

Well shoot I wish I found this channel before breaking 2 of my crappier arrows and spending hours experimenting on if you can attach paracord to an arrow and it still shoots as to grab something at long range or mounting a laser to the bow or shooting side ways like action movies.

Good learning how to hold a bow

something like this is what a gun enthusiast would call a "Range Toy"

Jason Armstrong there are some very limited uses for a laser for a firearm. Such as low light environment, like a home invasion. But beyond that...yep just a fancy toy.

I recently acquired an old (not that old) longbow from a friend. It looks like it was not very well cared for, the string was so rotten it broke as soon as I pulled on it alittle. (the bow was not strung, obviously) My question is, what should I look out for before I try to string it? I don't want the thing to snap in my hands. I don't see any cracks, but the laminate on the front was coming off so I glued it back on. I hope regular wood glue will flex enough.

As an amateur bowyer I have a bit of unfortunate advice for you. The simple answer is don't bother trying to string it up if the laminate on the front was coming off, assuming you're using the word laminate in the sense that it is often used in the context of bows. If what is coming off is simply a decorative covering it might be ok, but if it is on any part of the working limbs (part that bends in any way) and is any way "load bearing" stringing it will only cause it to delaminate further likely resulting in the bow "blowing up" in your hands. Additionally assuming that the bow is made with fiberglass, the problem won't be whether the glue will flex enough, it is more a problem that most wood glues don't actually adhere in a meaningful sense to fiberglass. Even in all wood laminate bows most "regular" wood glues like Elmer's wood glue or Gorilla glue just simply aren't up to the task of bow making. Titebond 2 or 3 are common for all wood designs, but don't really work for fiberglass reliably. Fiberglass usually requires an epoxy or resin designed to adhere to it. If you really want to try and save the bow I'd recommend trying to find a bowyer in your community, or if you can't find one look for a boat maker, these are your best bets to find someone who will be able to tell if the fiberglass is compromised. If you do try to string it please wear eye protection and preferably a long sleeve shirt and work pants. Not only do exploding bows hurt (my right little finger was numb for 2 days after my last 85lb all wood bow failure) but also fiberglass is nasty stuff to work with and any slivers you may get are next to impossible to remove and will itch, scratch, and burn under your skin for about a week before working themselves out. It is almost impossible to tweeze or pull them out actively. Wow... that ended up as a wall of text. Good luck.

Wow, Thank you, Timothy. I don't mind reading through a wall of text like that if it's good info. The functional part of the bow is solid wood. The "laminate" that I was talking about is purely decorative , it looks like some kind of fake ivory. Being a wood worker, I know that wood is usually pretty stable if properly cured, but I don't make anything that flexes so I'm not as confidant with it. The wood should be fine if there are no cracks, right? I think I'm just gonna make a string and try it. I'll make sure to wear protective equipment when I string it and shoot it for the first time. One more thing. It says "Locksley" on it. Is this a good brand? Does anyone know where it's made?

U r Awesome bro

your theory is spot on but from my practical experiance its a different story. i hunt feral pigs at night with a 60lb recurve and if you have ever tried aiming a bow at night with no sight picture to aquire your target believe me its a waste of time, so i run a lazer sighted in at 25 metres anything over that distance you just hold high but i make sure my shots are never much more than i am sighted in at.Works a treat. i find the best method is to slowly drop the lazzer on to the kill zone and release straight away dont try to hold the red dot on the target for any length of time, Like you pointed out the lazer wil move all over the place and if you dont take the shot quickly its all over Enjoyed your content, Cheers.

Question: Can a compound release (trigger release) be used with a recurve bow? From a physics perspective, it should give a straighter string path after release, and more consistent release/pressure given the same anchor point. My (VERY limited) experience trying this has ranged from great -but not perfect-, to oddly inconsistent, at worst (likely my own issue). The compound release seems to exacerbate the archers paradox and the arrow fly more left (for my right hand shooting) than a finger tab or even bare finger shooting does. I shoot my own pvc recurves off hand, tho an arrow rest makes this left turning arrow issue worse. Thots?

Strictly speaking for competition in World Archery rules, no. I've never tried a release before, but getting your release hand smooth and easy is a matter of practice.

it works fine with hunting and quick target find.... i have used it and like it a lot

one could in theory use an inclinable laser in order to adjust the angle according to the shooting distance or maybe even two those lasers from powertools that use refraction to reate a "laser-line" in order to create a cross shape, but it would still only be an indicator where your bow is pointing and thus equivalent to an ironsight that can only be seen in the dark...

Tactical special ops snipers that sometimes use crossbows for silent night operations just use a full scope on their compound or crossbow. The scope is range adjustable and after they estimate range, or have a spotter call out the range, then they turn the dial to tune the range of the sight.

Hi, have you tested the Accubow trainer? I see that you have one, but can't find a video review of it?

Oh great, can't wait :)

I'm sure you could make a laser sight that was just as adjustable as any other types of sites but it wouldn't be any better. I think it would be a good training aid to see how you are aligned and how stable you are and also be able to see how to possibly adjust those things to hold it differently and see if it affects stability. It might also a good Test 2 see what bow setup is most stable although I think you can feel stability.

Its funny I'm photographer but a few years ago I had crippling anxiety I asked the doctor for help cause I could steady my camera and do my job he said ill proscribe beta blocks, I enquired what it was he simply said if you were in the Olympics you doing shooting or targeting you would be banned from shooting because it can reduce heart beats and make it easier to remain steady, as well as reduce the inherent physical effects of anxiety, it did help me in the end but its interesting watching this and it made me think about that conversation

Are there such things as iron sights? I've been wondering.

Can you built a tripod from the extenders? Why not go the extra-extra mile and build a makeshift ballista? Certainly increases accuracy.

well they can be more accurate then archers. since they are ancored to the ground they have one stable point and most of the time they only rotate on 2 axes. both are things that would make them more stable compared to bows/archers. but i think the biggest 2 factors would be 1. the type of ballista used 2. who build it. some ballistas have a higher fire/reload rate which most of the time sacrifices accuracy. and as i said who builds the ballista would probably be the biggest impact on the accuracy. if its made by an expert in their craft its going to be pretty accurate. if im taking the last 2 points out of consideration id say a ballista would potentialy be more accurate then any archer simply for the facts that they are grounded and not free floating and they rotate on 2 axes at most

When target shooting handguns I was taught to break off and take fresh aim if I didn’t get the shot out within three seconds, five seconds tops. Made perfect sense to me...if I held it for longer, I was always WAY off the mark. I do the same with my camera. Yes, there are optical stabilizers and all that, but those can only do so much. Unless you use a tripod or a crazy expensive wearable stabilizer rig, you will have a certain degree of camera shake both at long focal lengths and if you hold a camera for an extended period of time. That’s a fact. Some things can be compensated for, but there are limits. Besides, depending on the country you are in, any sights that illuminate or mark a target (such as a laser) are illegal to possess outside the military or law enforcement. If you are caught with that, people will want to have a conversation with you, and it will take place in a location you don’t want to be in. So even IF laser sighted bows were the best invention since sliced bread and worked phantastically well, they‘d still be illegal in some countries.

That crysis reference though

Do you think a bow could benefit of being supported by a bipod or even a monopod?
