Hallo Ingo! Freut mich, dass es dir gefällt. In dem Video schieße ich meinen Robinien-Flachbogen. 64" lang, 46# bei 28" Auszug. Ist ein ganz klassischer Flachbogen, nichts besonderes, aber der zuverlässigste und fehlerverzeihendste Selfbow, den ich besitze. Der Bogen ist schon 6 Jahre alt und wird regelmäßig geschossen, ein kleineres Stringfollow hat er demnach entwickelt, das kostete etwas Speed, hat ihn aber letztendlich zu dem "gutmütigen" Bogen gemacht, der er jetzt ist. Ich hoffe, dass ich noch ein paar Jährchen Spaß damit habe, bevor er kaputtgeht :)

Freut mich, dass sie dir gefallen! Ich muss mal wieder Zeit und Muse für ein paar Videos finden :) Im Frühjahr baue ich einen neuen Bogen, spätestens dann kommt sicher wieder mal was! LG, Michael

I believe they are made in the Czech Republic like most Bows from Bearpaw!

@@TheDayne Thanks

@@TheDayne I just ordered a creed and couldn't find out where they are made

@@shanedarden5238 Penthalon is made in China

Ja, 1. Kbsv Pörtschach, mein Verein seit gut 15 Jahren!

@@TheDayne Super, dann müssma mal eine Runde drehen wenn der Schnee weg ist, bin aus der Steiermark ;)

@@MarshallStrider Gerne! Bin natürlich regelmäßig dort, schreib mir doch einfach auf YT, wenn du mal bei uns in Pörtschach vorbeischaust :)

@@TheDayne Wird wsl. noch ein wenig dauern, aber ja ich gebe dir Bescheid.

Hey, danke! Lustig, dass du das gerade erwähnst, weil erst vor ein paar Tagen hat mir ein Vereinskollege das für meinen Rubinien-Flachbogen empfohlen, da der schon ein sichtbares Stringfollow entwickelt hat (nicht unbedingt von Nachteil, aber trotzdem...). Der Hartriegel aus dem Video hat bisher kein Stringfollow entwickelt, denke da werde ich von einer Hitzebehandlung erstmal absehen.

@@TheDayne vielleicht hat der auch schon eine bekommen beim bau das beugt ja vor. bei robinie hab ich auch einiges rausgeholt mit wärme aber da hab ichs überm glutbett gemacht.

Hallo! Also am meisten Spaß habe ich mit primitiven/historischen/selbstgebauten Bögen :) Ansonsten mit modernen Langbögen ab 66 Zoll Länge. Im Heutal hab ich mit meinem 66 Zoll Spider Bows Langbogen geschossen. Recurves und Hybridbögen schieße ich gar nicht.

Tell that to the manufacturer. AFB go as Longbows everywhere in the world, its just how it is.

Actually it is a Longbow. Its not a English Longbow but a Longbow. Per definition a longbow is a bow where the string doesnt touch the belly of the bow despite of length. The Holmegard 1 bow was about 58 inches long and a "longbow". In most cases longbows are as long as their users. This bow is definetly a longbow! And a very nice though!

@@grossartig3406 that's a strange definition for any bow, "the string doesn't touch the belly" Firstly, I don't know of any bow, anywhere in the world, where the string touches the "belly" of the bow. Secondly, the definition of a "Longbow" is, the same overall length as the height of the shooter, and is "D" shaped in cross-section, and "D" shaped in profile when strung. Thirdly the terms that you are using, as in "belly" etc, come from the traditional description of an, "English Longbow" as you call it, dating back almost 1000 years. Fourthly, the definition of a "flat bow", is a bow of which, the limbs are square or rectangular in cross-section, as is this bow, whilst this is a long-bow, actually a "long flat bow", it does not meet the criteria to be described as a "Longbow". Finally, just because the Americans use the English language incorrectly, and confuse compound words, and adjectives, with nouns, does not make them correct, that which they are calling a "Longbow" is actually a "long-bow" or more correctly, a "long bow", however, in many cases, lazy people, or non native speakers, who cannot speak the language (English) correctly, and some people with an incomplete knowledge of the subject, and Americans, would write or type "longbow". Please notice my use of the upper and lowercase letters in writing the word Longbow, or long bow, it's an important distinction. It's still a nice bow!

@@blindarchershaunhenderson3769 i used the term "the belly of the bow" in terms for better understanding. Allthough Im sure you know this already I mention it for completeness of the thread : a recurve bow for example is a bow where the string touches the most upper and lower part of "the belly " of the bow. The belly is the part which points towards the shooter. Theres no border where the belly ends. I agree with you in the point long flat bow! I only wanted to point out that besides the classic ELB there are other in crosssection non D-formed bows you can call longbow.

Besides that a bow which is flat on the belly and naturally rounded on the back is also a "flatbow". Despite being square or rectangular.

You will love it. I love mine

How do you like it?

@@jake4194 I like mine so much! It was lighter than I had imagined. I currently owned Penthalon Omaha (got this new one 3 months ago as I increased my poundage), a bit heavy but feel more "premium" compared to the Blackfoot. Have been shooting every Sunday ever since :D

You're welcome! As with everything, archery is a learning experience. This videos is 4 years old, I've since changed my shooting style quite a bit. Also I mostly shoot selfbows now. Shoot the way it works and feels best for you - you're absolutely right with that!

You rub in on the outside. You roll the shaft and look if any light comes trough between the table and the shaft, then you stop at the point where the monst light comes through and rub the bottle gently up and down the shaft a few times. Rinse and repeat until you are satisfied with the straightness. Hope that made it clearer!

Over time, wood arrows naturally will get banged up. But they stay straight well enough. I shoot a lot (3-4 times a week) and use my wood arrows until they break.

Phew, thats a very heavy bow :D You can take down elephants with that ;) Longbows and selfbows are also my favorites. Basically everything thats made mostly of wood.

@@TheDayne luckily I don’t hunt😆. I can get the same bow at 40# and if competitions open up again I probably will for tourney shooting. Cheers👍😎🏹🇨🇦

Yeah back then I shot very heavy 11/32 wood arrows. Not a lot of speed with those, but pretty stable flight. I am since using lighter arrows (5/16, 70grain tips and around 330 grain total weight) because I like to be consistent at higher distances.

There is no too slow, you just have to get used to your equipment ;)

You're welcome!

Die meisten meiner "Zuseher" sind nicht deutschsprachig, daher sind auch alle meine Videos auf Englisch. LG!

I'm glad you like my videos so much! Shoot straight!

I don't know what you mean exactly :D I'm using a different quiver now for a few years already.

@@TheDayne Glad you are still shooting! Had to tease about the straps lol.

@@kborak Ahh, i see. yeah, they broke at some point, but i fixed them. I still have that quiver!

@Jamal Javier thank you man I will :)

@Raymond JordyThat's awesome man, ever seen Love & monsters? 3 ppl have told me to watch it maybe I will

Finding the right wood arrows is a little bit of work, but it pays out. What kind of bow do you shoot and how long is your draw length? For a 30# bow it should not at all be a problem to find matching arrows!

@@TheDayne hi michael i have a buck trail black hawke 68 inches , 25lbs , my draw length is 28.5 inches i have other bows that are recurves and i have many carbon arrows to suit its so easy to find the right carbon arrows at 750-900 spine .

Thank you! Wood is a natural material, so ofc it is less reliable than materials like carbon or aluminum - every shaft is a little bit different than the other. I've never shot aluminum arrows, so I can't really compare.

I think you can clearly see that those shafts are dry wood. I never worked with green wood. All my shafts (and the shafts of every archer I ever met) are dry wood.

@@TheDayne damn, sorry that I asked. Guess I'm not seeing as clearly as you expected.

I mean,I’m hear because i want to straighten bushcraft arrows which is green Probably wrong video for that but that’s KZbin for you.
