    I did this once in the Alvord about 5 years ago. I did it at night with a glow stick attached to the arrow. In the morning, I went out to get it and found the arrow was 2 feet from an obsidian point!! Someone did the same thing long ago!!! Crazy....

      Yeah I can only imagine how hard it would be finding an arrow at night like that lol.
      Nothing to do with shooting arrows. But when I was on my first tour in Iraq we had these small drones called Crows that I helped launch at night. Side job as I was a mechanic during the day. Recovering them was always a pain. So I took an extra IR strobe we had and attached it to the drone with tape. The IR strobe was a small light thing we could attach to our helmets and either have red blue or white light or IR. The IR (Infra Red) was the setting I used and then used NVG's to track it coming back and where it landed. Made recovery incredibly easier. None of this was what we were supposed to do. It was just what we did to make it work.
      Sorry for the tangent. But the chem light story reminded me of that.

      thought the same, the bike design doesn't help. Raise the saddle and lower the handle bar so you can use the front part of your foot (metatarsals) and shift to a higher gear
      Could get double the speed easily at nearly the same cardio load

    Many years ago, a buddy and i made a bow out of the rear spring from an old truck. We used 3/8" rebar as "arrows" actually probably called bolts. Steel cable for the string. A ratcheting cable pulley to pull it back. Making a trigger to hold it was a challenge, bent and broke many triggers. Our first shot the "string" slipped up and slid over the rebar in a shower of sparks. Second shot the rebar just disappeared, the trigger broke and we never found the bolt. The subsequent shots we could see just fine and the bolts traveled relatively slow as compared to the arrows in this video. We never found any and couldn't even see a dirt puff from a hit. Never occurred to us it might be flying anywhere near as far a Alan's bolts were going, but they were going out of sight. The whole contraption was pretty scary and we finally stopped shooting it because we thought it might come apart and hurt someone.

    we could shoot half that distance, in 1978 I shot in the NZ flight archery champs in the target bow category with my Hoyt 42lb recurve with a few mods to help performance
    my best distance was 249 metres I didn't place but it was a great experience and learned a lot, I sure hope he makes that shot.

      Its probably better with no shoes if you get shot. Having to carefully cut away your shoes just to get to the arrow sounds horrible, if it didn't just go straight through and out the other side. Its not like the shoes are going to even slow the arrow down much, they'd have to be steel all the way up the tongue to be of any use. The bow they showed does seem to have some metal shielding covering his feet though.

      Another issue with that is the weight. These arrows are usually incredibly light. There's not a lot of weight to spare, and it's very hard to insert into a solid carbon rod without compromising the shaft in the process. I can't imagine it can be done in a repeatable way other than inside the nock or point, which may or may not cause structural issues.

    I wonder if a thin teflon coating would help reduce drag. I found it interesting that early mornings were prime time - I guess the advantage of firing in hot less dense daytime air is offset by its turbulence. Good video, thanks!

    Just because the nock and point are not going through the paper straight it doesn't mean the arrow isn't flying true. An arrow oscillates as it is released. Usually up and down or sided to side depending on the release mechanism.

      In virtually all archery disciplines that's perfectly acceptable, and all but impossible to remove, but this equipment is engineered and tuned to get rid of all the things that cause those oscillations. That was the whole point of the paper, they were making adjustments until they eliminated all of that movement before they bothered to take any real shots with it. An arrow like that with such tiny fletching is going to suffer tremendously if it's not flying like a laser beam, they don't have the luxury of relying on the fletching to stabilize the arrow before hitting their target. Most people aren't trying to get a mile long shot with an arrow, and trading some velocity for stability isn't even something they're going to notice, but a momentary wiggle from the arrow in this situation and your distance could be cut short by hundreds of yards as a result. The arrow will still stabilize and fly true with that initial oscillation, it'll just land a lot shorter than an arrow that was already stable before it even leaves the string. Going further down that rabbit hole, most of the fletching and balance needed for an arrow to actually be stable and fly true isn't necessary, it's only needed to counter that initial wobble. If you can eliminate that wobble entirely, you've opened up the ability to modify an arrow with even better aerodynamics and balance. Historically speaking, the most impressive archery distances have been made utilizing reduced fletching and khatra, which is a technique to eliminate that archer's paradox from being necessary...done well, arrow oscillations are reduced considerably and is probably a big reason why they were able to reach such impressive distances back then.

    For lining up the shot, may I suggest the use of a line laser. Carpenters use them, in this case the laser line would pass through the center of the shooter & the bow and then into the horizon. Leaving it on might help find the arrows as well.

    I wonder whether they could use an array of spaced out microphones to triangulate arrow impacts. I suppose it would depend upon how loud the impacts are and how much background noise is present.
