Your longbow is not going to shoot the same arrow as your recurve, as well, because the recurve is centershot or close to it, thereby reducing "archers paradox". Your longbow has no arrow shelf cut in, therefore the arrow needs to be more limber (less spine) to bend around the handle (archers paradox). ScottinPenna.
Great video , great collection ! I have a small collection . I have a recurve crossbow and two vintage compound bows . I plan to add to my collection but it's an expensive hobby .
Nice collection, I only have 4 bows, all trad, Bickerstaffe longbow, Sir Henry strong bow, Osage Orange Sioux bow and 1 reflex deflex, all around 40 pounds (I’m in the UK)
Nice bows! Just got myself a takedown recurve last week and got to shoot it first time and it's amazing. As far as nocking points, you might want to check into Armin Hirmer's youtube... He shoots a number of traditional recurve bows and he had a video where he shot a bow that didn't even have a nock on it and he explained how to simply position the arrow.
Lovely collection. I'm new / returning so it's lovely to see lots on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps the boring and too heavy will fund something new when you're ready. What would you buy I wonder.
Thank you for this video, it never ceases to amaze me just how much archery content there is on UA-cam. Five years have passed, I wonder if you've extended your bow collection in that time? On being overbowed, I had the exact same issue in reverse, I have a gorgeous American flatbow I love but at 34# it's way too light for me. Recently bought a Bickerstaffe flatbow - primitive pyramid bow at 45# and found my sweet spot. It's what works that counts not the numbers 🏹👍
I know how you feel about the Ragim....I own 5 bows, one of them being a 68" 45# Oakridge Aspen AFB. That bow is the least used, my other bows are between 40 and 50# and all recurves but to me the Aspen is missing something...possibly soul...I just cannot connect with it, it never feels part of me.
Overbowing is probably the single most reason, beginners give up. One has to develop muscle memory in the back and arms and work up slowly in poundage, just like weight training.
Nice collection and it's a pity you can't still use your cotton mouth as they look nice bows. I only have #35 bow, pulling about 38/39 due to my elbow. Its not the amount you pull but the accuracy that counts most and enjoying using it. Grizzly recommended you and I'm glad he did as you are different. Now going to go through your other videos.
Hello, I've just dropped onto your channel and watched the video about your bow collection, impressive. Like myself you have several different shooting styles that broaden your archery skills. Regards the nock points on the English self bow, they don't have any, they don't even have a handle. There made of four parts, a string, two horn nocks and the bow itself. You get the balance of the bow between your thumb and first finger, that's were the bow is gripped. You then hold the bow horizontal to the ground and place the arrow onto it. First place the arrow 90° too the bow then move the nock end of the arrow up the string about one to one and a half thicknesses on the arrow shaft. This should be about in the ball park. When you've found the sweet spot I find a sharpy marker keeps it there. I shoot a English warbow, 110lb @ 32" draw but I too have a wide range of bows starting at 30lb. I hope this was of help. Happy archery.
@@bowsanderrors4017 know problem. I make English long bows and shoot what is called "Clout" archery. You put a flag on a pole in the middle of a field then walk 3 to 400 hundred yards away and it's the closest too the flag wins. But as I said, the pure English longbow is just 4 components that can fire a half inch thick shafted arrow with deadly affect. I watched your video about "Stumping" those arrow heads look special. Longbow arrow would just go straight through it. Mind you, after 5 shots your usually done for an hour or two. Enjoy your archery.
I just found your channel and as it happens, I have a TimberCreek Cottonmouth (original model) left handed, at 40#@ 28" for sale. It is the delux model and looks exactly like yours. If you are interested, let me know. BTW, keep up the video's.
UA-cam is acting weird. I have subscribed to your channel for awhile now. This video came up in my feed so I clicked it and it showed that I wasn't subscribed? Strange things are happening on UA-cam. Anyway. I really enjoyed you sharing your collection with us.
Your nocking point on the string should be approx. 3/8 inch above zero. I set up ALL of my bows at that measurement. You stated your arrows are flying wonky from your longbow...id say its more of "proper spined arrows". Whatever the bow weight is at your draw length, ie. 35@28..32@27, your arrows should spine 5 lbs. Less. ScottinPenna.
i shoot 25lb and theres nothing girly about me lol and i have 27 bows (compound ,recurve and longbows ) and none are boring they are all fun at times. gday from OZ
they can take your cottonmouth and lower the poundage on it, and then they just put a new finish on it. I know quite a few guys in our archery club that have been shooting a 50 lb bow for 15 years and now that they are getting older had to send their bow back to have the poundage lowered. My friend just said his Fox Triple Crown back to have it lowered 10 lbs
I tought almost the same, was thinking about a custom bow maker but maybe the maker of the bow offer this service... Good way to go if you realy love this bow.
Hi there I'm Arrow343 I saw that your have a hard time nocking your string check your brace hight and it should be 3inches short of the bows total length And put your arrow on the center of the bow and your nocking point is above the arrow nock.
Hello Flea 👋 it's your Instagram friend Lynx. Real interesting video and description of your differents bowls. Which one are you using when hunting hot-dogs 🏹🏹🏹🌭🌭🌭 😂😂😂 Your Channel name is just Awsome 👏👏👏
It comes from Traditional Yew English Longbows. Yew is like two laminations of timber but are naturally one. Heartwood and sapwood. The sapwood resists stretching and the heartwood resists compression.....A perfect natural spring. A properly broken-in Yew bow is beautiful to shoot. I have a 52# Ravenbeak and it's fast and smooth. Dave.
Armin Hirmer, from Malta archery has a video on nocking points on a horse bow. I know they're not long bows, but I think the principle is the same as to why a nocking point doesn't really work without a shelf. Any small variation in bow-hand placement throws the nocking point off. ua-cam.com/video/GmgLhbrtIKc/v-deo.html
If you can find a bowyer near you, I'd give him the Timbercreek to lower the draw weight. It can be done. I've done it more then several times. Try "the bowyer's corner " on Facebook . You might find someone there.
@@bowsanderrors4017I build bows myself and I can tell you for sure that if a bow comes out a bit heavier then intended, that's what we bowyers do. There are several ways to do it. A friend of mine gave a Bodnik Quick Stick that was to heavy for him and I dropped it by 5lbs easily. So I wouldn't worry about it. Just find someone that knows what he's doing. Good luck.

Thanks for taking the time , to share your Archery experiences and your collection with us.
Nice collection. Thanks for sharing. Being one myself, I do enjoy watching any sporting activity done by a left hander, especially archery.
I always get excited to meet another lefty so I can try their bow!
Its great to see a woman explain about bows and traditional archery. I ve only found your channel. Well done. Ill definitely be watching more.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful collection!!
Great video , great collection ! I have a small collection . I have a recurve crossbow and two vintage compound bows . I plan to add to my collection but it's an expensive hobby .
It sure can be. You’d think a person would only need one bow....😂
I never came a across a woman like you
Very impressive
Well, gosh! Thanks so much!

The Bearded Archer definitely a horse bow!
Love the copperhead. If it was 40 lbs. I’d buy it from you
The cottonmouth? They make a copperhead, too!

@@bowsanderrors4017 once an archer always an archer 🏹 :)
Love the cottonmouth. First saw it on Grizzly Jim’s video. Have to get me one.😎
I have a question! If you were a condiment, let’s say for hotdog for example, what would you be?
Archery Adventures Obviously I’d be hot sauce.
Archery Adventures 😂😂😂 I guess something like soja sauce or Wasabi to match the tofu dog 😉
Laurent Gouzou AKA Lynx1963 Noooo! Texas Pete!
After reading this comment I feel I never want to watch archery adventures again
Trick'n Fish Really? I think it adds a whole new dimension to the wonder that is Archery Adventures
Great videos. Look up Richard Head longbows. Plenty of information on setting up English long bows.
Cool! Thanks, I will.

I really loved watching you review your bows and of course the English Longbows. But that could be because I am just a little biased:-)
NaturalBowWoman Thank you! I really like those ELBs! I need to learn more about them!
Bows and Errors you are welcome. I am sure you will. How is your finger?☺

Nice selection of bows flea
John Ryan Why thank you.
Gary cheyne is the man for English longbows and how to shoot them he does great you tube videos and they are very funny check him out
Thomas Lamont Awesome! I’ll check him out. Thank you!
I have 4 Longbows … 55 pounds, 75lbs, 100 lbs, 140 pounds. The last monster war bow sends a big heavy war arrow about 240 yards
I think you can still shoot that 45lbs bow. Keep it in the practice rotation. Instead of dozens of arrows, just fire 3 arrows every other day.

I’ve wanted to try clout, but there’s no where near North Carolina that I’ve found so far.
@@bowsanderrors4017 I'm afraid I can't help you with that. I'm in Robin Hood Country. Nottinghamshire. England.
I thought maybe you are in England. Not many folks even know what clout is in the US
Great video, much better than mine. haha This is your friend from Instagram, Shooting Heavy Bows
Overcomer Archery Hey there! Thanks for the feedback!
The nocking point is where both sides of the string pull the same force. It's where the bow doesn't try to turn in your hand when you draw it.
Samick Sage also has a very good grip. "Primal" is the most appropriate term for archery. Thousands of years of history behind it.
I learned on a Samick Sage. They are quite decent bows!
Very nice mam. Enjoyed your presentation , good luck with future aquasitions
Thank you! Each bow has a certain attachment for me... except maybe that Ragim 😂

Why do you call you're long bow for selfbow, did you make them yourself?
No, for some reason bows that are made of one single piece of wood are called self bows.
It comes from Traditional Yew English Longbows. Yew is like two laminations of timber but are naturally one. Heartwood and sapwood. The sapwood resists stretching and the heartwood resists compression.....A perfect natural spring. A properly broken-in Yew bow is beautiful to shoot. I have a 52# Ravenbeak and it's fast and smooth.
