Del the cat:
Managed to shoot the Osage flight bow (made from one of Clint's staves) off the fingers rather than using the shooting machine.
I got 341 yards ;D using a 28" arrow at about 80#
The best arrow of the four I shot was Cedar with an Elm footing (added to convert a 26" arrow to 28")
310 grain, 7.85mm max diameter, Tip diameter 6.36mm, Nock diameter 7.15mm
40# static spine, fletchings Greylag Goose 30mm x 6mm length x height.

Del, do you have a spread on th arrow weights you shot and how they did?
leonwood:
That’s good shooting Del! You broke the 300 meter barrier with a self bow! Sorry guys that’s a thing on our side of the pond O:)

The two best shots were only about a yard apart and they weighed 263 and 310 gn.
The two that were consistently shorter 343 and 455 grain. The heaviest was solid Ipe that has now been cut up for footings.
They are all about 40# static spine.
More detail on this post on my blog (written up before todays shot) the arrows 1 & 2 were the best.
