Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . 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. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.
Water has much more drag than air. When you release the bow string underwater the strings drag is increased due to the density and resistance of the water along with turbulence behind the string as well.
Makes sense, Now I'm thinking about a spear gun or that hand held spear with the rubber band at the bottom, so because the other two aren't necessarily dragging through the water the power is directed more to the spear correct? Learned something new today. Thanks for your comment.
Also, when the bow itself has to unbend, this also has a big effect on drag. I think It could be one of the main reasons.
@@patrykkowalczyk3136 Ahh true that would. Totally didn't think about that one. Nice catch.
big rubber bands harpoon baby that the cross bow of the ocean
Indeed, the limbs are anti dynamic to the water as well.
It’s a good day when deer meat posts
0:40 RIP random snorkeler
Good morning from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures
It was very cool vid Rob. It breaks up with the same routine and brings more content to the audience.
Lov yah bruh
It could be the arrow needs to be made of metal like a speargun shaft and a stronger pull! But I am only guessing but it was worth a try!
Hey Deer meat I really love your videos that’s is Austin from the Alaskan swamp buggy video we never went fishing but it’s OK it was awesome to meet you most important thing is being safe and having fun God bless👍👍
Nice try Rob.if you think about that then the bow strings have more drag then speargun rubbers and the speargun shaft is much heavier.the only solution I have for you is a very short range shot.love this channel!
try using hydrophobic spray or powder on the bow string and maybe also the arrow. im curious if that would work, it might make spear fishing even better if you put that on a spear
My brother always had a mustache and he used vaseline and it worked great to seal the mask.
Water is not thin like the air. It's like trying to run underwater..... You don't go anywhere fast....lol. Love the channel.
Nice & educating video! I really thought that it would work!
So did I!!!
That’s why spear gun use rubber to load and release energy. Only the arrow moves unlike a bow where the string needs to drive the arrow, it’s a lot of drag in dense water. The deeper the worse it gets too as the water is even denser.
@@renaudtheis1197 I have been spearfishing for 48 years and I did think of the physics behind an air pressured speargun and one that is propelled by rubber bands. However, I have never used a bow so I did not think of what you stated. Thanks for explaining!
Your videos are nice and clear under water, Robert. Here a thought maybe tries shooting fruits with the bow, like Gabes does with his riffles.
After attempting to snorkel unsuccessfully probably a dozen times on vacations in the Caribbean A guide in St Marten inquired why I wasn't in the water with everyone else snorkeling . I explained to him that It's like fighting for my life every time because every time I try yo snorkel, after a few minutes tops , water enters my mask and I feel like I'm drowning , so it isn't any fun for me . He suggested I shave my mustache which I had worn all my life and was quite bushy . So I shaved it off on a trip to Cozumel so that I could try snorkeling again , but still had the same problem , an so I have given up on snorkeling . Apparently it is just not for me .
Awesome always love your vids👍🏽
Interesting experiment. I thought of the drag on the string right off but what occurred to me after watching this was the water pressure on the limbs of the bow must be immense compared to the string. Those big flat arms are not going to move easily through the water. Always fun to try stuff out and see what happens. Science! Thank you for this brother.
Wrong
Good point about the limbs. Same as the bowstring, the water puts drag on everything and causes a slow motion release
The first 10 seconds you know it’s going to be a great video!!!!
Y’all are amazing
Try ur fish with coconut cream tomatoes n onions in the oven wrapped wit tin foil (aluminium)
New Zealand style cuzzie rob 👍🏻
Rob I swear i did not see that grouper either until it moved. Another thing that's pretty cool to think about is, you know how you were going down to the bottom through the school of bait fish. Well looking through what the camera was catching it was so disorienting the way the school of bait fish move, now you see how this helps them avoid predators on a normal basis. I couldn't focus for the life of me on any particular spot when looking directly at them. Very cool. So it seems you have to be within a foot to actually tag and kill a fish with the compound bow. That scenery is breathtaking regardless so i enjoyed this very much. You should try and get a video shot of the cast net from the bottom and watch the cast net drop over the fish, that would be cool.
Great idea, aaand, great observation!
I love watching you do videos like that Robert
hello bro you make my day so much better ever sins i found your channel😁 your one of the best persons i’ve seen and the things you and your family does together is so heart warming to see❤️god bless you and your family✝️❤️
@Tater Thot ye i know thanks
Robert, I’ve got big news, my friend. I got hooked on Everglades Seasoning’s no MSG blend and will always use it. You are my inspiration for getting it.
That's Water Dynamics is working against your string your compound bow releasing and even the arrow leaving from the bow. Water causes resistance on everything when you're submerged.
What’s up Rob love the vids and this is a crazy and awesome idea keep up the great work
I think the only problem would be the resistance of the water against the bow line
Please do more of these. I have always wondered the same
The sound of that underwater footage sounds like bacon frying lol got me hungry!!!
The best vids! Keep grinding!
Really good underwater videos, keep them coming.
03:21 This is Rob's impression of Joaquin Phoenix' "Joker" LOL
Your string has so much drag underwater that it is not propelling the arrow with the speed you need. Essentially the viscosity of the water won't allow the bow to propel the arrow to the speed it will in air. Once the arrow is at speed, it cuts through the water just fine.
Love your videos keep it up
The resistance from the water on the string is the problem. I think I saw it coming but liked that you proved it. I wonder if the narrow path of the mechanism on a spear fishing unit is the difference versus the really wide stance of the bow?
lod on the spear rig is key factor
Not just the drag of the string but the movement of the limbs against the water slows the arrow as well. There’s a lot that goes on with a bow that you don’t realize until something like this. A bow and arrow is an amazing thing when you sit back and look at it. My favorite method of hunting any wildlife for certain.
It's both the string and the bow material. It does NOT move well through a liquid medium, while a spear will.
Whenever I tell you I just bought 2 new Silver Stag knives I mean these things are absolutely amazing. I am having TGBTG engraved on my elk stick skinner. Thank you for helping me find a generational knife brother. These are something I will pass down to my kids/grandkids!
It has more drag and resistance underwater than it does in the air out of the water
Thank you much for just letting the natural underwater sounds without laying some annoying music over it!!
The water is a lot denser than air. That is why the arrow has less power under water. Think of a bullet passing through water. The bullet has less speed, but when passing through air it has it's maximum power.
Water absorbs energy very well. Look at how it effects bullets.
I am still at the beginning of the video and I am already saying that this is crazy. This is probably one of the craziest things done in the fishing world.. :D
@deermeatfordinner
Pretty cool! Probably won't work a few days after this, on land or underwater!!!🤣
Good content, Robert. Different. Good on ya. The experiment vibe is cool. Cheers
Drag and resistance on the strings from the water, not to mention all the other moving parts of the bow.
Thanks for sharing your vids with us!
Where's Joey? Rob would always have him in the vids back in the day and now never mentions him
It's impressive how long you can hold your breath deep underwater
He's using a rebreather
Lol no he's not
@@michiganmonsters01watch it again.. I've seen him with out one In this vid..😂😂
Simple physics is the why... nuff said!!
Awesome clip. Wife was very upset about spilling Rainex in that pool though lol
Your bantam celebrated with you. How cute.
Gosh that water is so beautiful.... I truly appreciate seeing the beauty in ocean life through you guys 💗
Robert, you positively influence everyone who watches your videos. You provide for us a temporary reprieve from the sosdd through your channel. Most of us wish we had the guts to follow through like you. I for one am thankful. Thank you for being a leader.
Bootlicker..
Yes I 👍and would like to see more I also think this would be great for kids to see to start a interactive beginning to the outdoor life 😀
I always wanted to go bow fishing
Robert, as for future videos just keep doing what you're doing. I love all your videos, especially the ones where you are with Sarah and the girls. You're a great role model for a husband and father!!!
I don’t know who sees this or what your going through but God has a plan for you❤️❤️❤️
That ia how i started spear fishing never taught i would see someone else try it it really is awesome
There are many factors that would limit the spear to pass through sea water unlike air. First is the density and the drag from the water waves..Also if this would need to work then I believe you would need a bigger shaft with equal weight distrubtion but more nose heavy..my two cents..Cheers..
Thank you Rob. With a person that has Asthma I would never see the bottom of the ocean if it wasn't for you
Hello mr Robert. I got a question. Could you please do a video on someone throwing a net for bait and someone is under water video it. I never seen a video like that . i want to see what the net does under water. . thanks for your time and help. I love to come fish with yall for the fish i think yall call chubs. That look like chicken legs.
I've been a long time subscriber and a huge fan of your channel I would love to go hog hunting on your ranch. Your lifestyle is awesome
Awesome video might want to try a heavier arrow
Awesome video. Watching your video from North Carolina. We loaded up for vacation Saturday and made it tk the island. Spend many days at work Watching you and your family have the time of your life and getting the opportunity to share it with us. We have a boat chartered tomorrow morning and went to Publix and got my very own Everglades original seasoning for the first time ever. When I get back to PA I hope to have a buck on the ground so I can try your backstrap recipe. We enjoy what you do and hope to watch you every chance we get.
Would love to see a catch and cook with it 👏🏾
I've had very minimal experience bow hunting but have had a Fred bear bow since I was 12 or 13 always target practicing I can remember when yellow jacket targets came out watching Michael Waddell on outdoor channel advertising that and bone collector so I'm sure there's some kind of grease or something just trying to figure out how to make this more practical
thanks again for another awesome video. I think that the bow has too many moving parts and water resistant is more than 10 times air. maybe try an conventional bow, maybe different results. God Bless and stay safe 🙏
String drag underwater causes a huge drop in effectiveness.
Probably have to increase the gears and tension along with much more rigid limbs. I bet a high powered crossbow would work. Im sure you would be able to pull a bow strong enough to get some distance penetration. Makes you really appreciate how a speargun works. I bet the rubber expanding and contracting deals with the issue of the water that would slow down a stringed bow.
very interesting video. I was shocked it lost so much power underwater.
Hi Robert, my name is Daniel Balderas.
I agree with Luis. It is all about physics.
Water is highly density liquid on this planet and objects have a tough way to move through it except for the fish and mammals in the ocean they were designed to move through it your arrow from your compound bow is aerodynamic but it does not have enough Force to move it through the water. The scientific formula for this is forced times mass equals movement or distance.F×M=D.
The resistance underwater under on a bow is much greater than the air above the water so you lose a lot of velocity
much like if you were to try and slap someone while underwater, the water would add too much resistance for it to be a forceful slap. With a compound bow, much of the force behind the bow string comes from the idler wheel forcing back into the forward position, but the water around you adds too much resistance to the idler wheels and string for there to be a forceful return to effectively launch the arrow
It must be the difference in density of water vs air. I’m not a ballistics expert, but I’d guess that the arrow can’t gain enough velocity when *released in water* due to the dramatic increase in initial drag it’s not designed for. Releasing in air allows it to build that velocity before entering the water. The same goes for bullets, according to an old episode of Mythbusters.
I would also posit that the water will impede the bowstring's forward momentum due to friction, so there should be as least two physical forces including the coefficient of drag working in tandem to limit the distance and striking impact of the arrow.
the arrow is too light and probably not long enough. longer slender and dense object cut through and maintain their momentum better in water. The bow as well too much drag in water for efficient release of energy. easy fix is to modify the bow till it looks like a spear gun lol
Agreed. The bow’s limbs are also impeded, subtracting even more energy. A spear gun has no such limiting profile, which is why they’re best for spearfishing.
Also, the limbs have to overcome water resistance.
Have you seen the guys under the dock in the ground blind with air lines? Its pretty cool
The sound of the plankton hitting the camera is trippy love the content
Great video as always. Looks like a typical Tuesday for me 👌🏻
One day I’m going to head to Florida to fish with you rob!!!
That’s a big grouper
Id say that arrow 'flew" at about 2 feet per second haha....I can't imagine there is enough KE (Kinetic Energy) to hit hard enough to be of any value. fun vid though!.
I assume this is spam below here?
that was cool, that's what world shakers, history makers do. develop new lines of material. you just be you Robert that why I watch.
The answer is pretty simple: DRAG and SURFACE AREA,. When you release the arrow there's too much resistance (DRAG) acting against the FLAT surface of the bow limbs and there are two of them on your bow, thus the applied force on the arrow is reduced. The bow's power comes from its two FLAT bow limbs combined with a string. A speargun's power comes only from its' ROUNDED elastic band. Another thing is the FLIPPING ACTION of the bow as compared to the PULLING ACTION of the speargun. As the arrow is released, the flipping action of the bow exposes more surface area of the limbs as it unfolds therefore the drag is increased. On the other hand the drag (if there's any) acting on the elastic band of the speargun is constant. In fact I doubt if there's any drag at all considering that the pulling action of the elastic band is linear compared to the action of the bow string which is angular.
Longer shaft steel arrow it will work different bow would help also one set up to shoot full sized arrows. Arrow weight is what you want here.
A drawstring of a bow is meant to be fired free air. The reason is when you shoot a bow underwater there is drag against the drawstring which causes both resistance and a vibration as it goes through the water it's a lot like taking your hand and trying to move it through the water really fast. Instead of it moving straight and easily your hand wants to move side to side against the current another way of looking at it drop a coin underwater instead of it falling straight down it will shift back and forth that is essentially what is happening now with the drawstring which slows your bow and creates less power with your arrow
Wait 🗣️ what 🧐🧐🧐🤔🤔🤔🤯🤯🤯never in my 37 years have I've heard of or seen something that awesome. You my awesome guy get the video of the month. Me and my friends said so boooommm thanks for the video and y'all stay safe.👍👍👍👍
simple physics... the flexed arms of the bow got their own resistance... in the air, the drag on the arms is very low, because of the weak airresistance when they get back in their regular position. under water however, they need so much more power to do the same work... the water is so dense, that the bow arms have to be many times stronger (i do not now the exact factor) to get back in the regular position, than they need at land and only with air resistance. just for comparsion: 1l of water has 1000 times the weight of 1l of regular air, and therefore a comparable resistence when it comes to drag through it.
(this is just a simple explanation of what is happening with the bow under water... i am sorry for my poor english, but im from germany)
Well it's very interesting...what I would do is rebuild the bow find a way to put two rubber pieces at each end and the sting in the middle it just need some Force behind the arrow.or try a slim spare.
I wonder if someone could develop an underwater bow…..I mean bow are designed the way they are to withstand the forces at play above water. I wonder with different came and higher draw weight I’m talking about like to the limits where a bow could explode itself above water if it would operate better under water with the increased drag without destroying itself.
Cams***
I tried Everglades Seasoning’s No MSG blend on chicken nuggets from Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen, and it made a world of difference in the taste! Unbelievable! I’m absolutely blown away!
If its fly's straight it will work, keep on keepin on...
I take it back, tools have there own applications...
Love your vids rob🤝from south africa
Yes it will work for spear fishing!
The water resists against the recurve of the bow, bow string, and cams, so the velocity is decreased. Thats why a spear gun has only back pressure and works better. I've tried with my old Bear wood, and metal cam bows. Both did not work well either.
It's the pressure of the water that slows it down
Its so amazing how deep you can dive without a tank. I dive down 15 feet and my head starts hurting. What do you do so the pressure doesn't hurt. Thank you Rob!!
You have to equalize the pressure on your eardrums. As you make your decent, say at 10 feet, pinch your nostrils closed, close your mouth and blow gently to puff out your cheeks. Repeat as needed to relieve the pressure the deeper you go. It works on airplanes as well.
Tony - A technique he is using is called a Valsalva Maneuver. A diver is able to pinch his nostrils and blow against the pressure to force air into his sinuses and Eustachian tubes [leading to the interior of the eardrums] to equalize the interior and exterior water pressures within and without the head. You can actually tell when he employs this technique in the video by the high pitch squeal.
Watch the video starting at 01:30 when you see him reaching for his nose and then you'll hear the squeal it causes at several times during the video. Usually, only some divers need to do this when diving into the depths and not when surfacing. Pressures need to be properly managed when diving to mitigate possible injuries like torn eardrums, etc.
@@davidbuben3262 ohhhhhhhh.... so when rob and his brother dives down. You hear some noise when they get deeper.
@@tonytran3830 if you listen closely you can hear when he pinches his nose and blows, sorta like when you're driving up into the mountains and you feel your ears pop and if they don't pop it begins to build pressure in your sinuses(ears) and you pinch your nose and blow easy and they pop giving you relief. 👍👍
The deeper you dive Rob, will lessen the trajectory of the arrow and speed , all pressure brother!
Robs the real life Aquaman.
fwiw, for spear guns i was taught that the effective kill distance was directly correlated to the length of the spear/arrow itself due to the drag coefficients of the water, so it would make sense in your video as to why when it was an arrows length away it worked for you with the compound bow
The spear gun is shooting a steel spear. It was it weighs more and hits harder. The bow and arrow simply don't weigh enough to maintain enough energy to pierce the fish.
It doesn’t matter to me I love all your videos. Blessings
Water slows everything down, string moving through water and even the wheels will move much slower before propelling the arrow. And remember fresh water is thinner and so the results should be a little better in fresh water.
