2015 U.S. Flight Nationals, September 4-6
Badger:
Allen, that particular bow has some history to it. I took it to a walk the talk event and it tested out at 188 with a fast flight string. In the official test it tested at 186 because of a very tight arrow nock. After several years the bow had broken down considerably and was actually had a broken glue line at the handle and fade area, current 500 grain speed at the time the record was set was only 172 fps. Not sure with light arrows how fast it shot.
The bow I had high hopes for is heads and shoulders faster than any bow I have ever competed with, it did not do so well. I have some super stiff 188 gran arrows I am going to shoot out of it this year and see if they do better.
avcase:
Flight archers are already starting to congregate at the Bonneville Salt Flats near Webdover, Utah. I know Steve (AKA Badger) has been practicing since yesterday and we are finally rolling in today. Conditions have never been drier since I started flight archery in 2004, so this should be a good one! Stay tuned for results when shooting commences this Friday.

Weather is calling for rain! I hope it doesn't hit ya!
avcase:
There's no rain predicted here in the latest forecast, just lots of wind. Joe, come on out!

Marc St Louis:
It's a bit too late now but if I had known there was going to be more people interest in flight shooting I would have sent down that little Elm recurve flightbow I built a few years ago for someone to shoot.
