Adam Karpowicz - Closing in on the Half Mile
DC:
I went on Google Earth and did a 790 yd circle around my house. Wow! That's a long way!
Badger:
DC, the machine was just used because Adam cannot draw that kind of weight, an archer can outshoot the machine for distance once he tunes himself to the bow. I believe Allen case built the arrow for this shot. Many of the new records have been set using Allens arrows. Without a good arrow no bow will score well.
DC:
That is very cool. My surname is also Case. No relation that I know of but it's cool to know that I'm even extremely remotely connected. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
avcase:
I would love to have credit for the arrows, but Adam built the arrows used for this most recent test. I hope to learn a thing or two from Adam's testing since we haven't seen this long distances with all natural material arrows for at least a couple hundred years.
FYI: Adam's arrows are fletched with thin rawhide.

Badger:
Adam and yourself are both pioneers in rediscovering this lost art from.
