5:15 ... *Helical (Spiral) Twist Fletching* - True helical fletching doubles the arrow spin rate and gives you tighter groups, better broadhead flight, flatter trajectory and a quieter arrow. 3 NASA engineers who were attempting to win a model rocket competition by launching their model to the highest altitude. This understanding led the scientists to the fins on the model rocket, which exist to stabilize the rocket. Model rocket fins, just like the vanes on your arrows, attach at an angle to produce spin, which in turn helps to stabilize the rocket. This technique is commonly called “helical.” As wind catches the angled fins or vanes, it forces the projectile (rocket or arrow) to spin. This spinning, just as with a bullet that’s fired out of a rifle barrel or with a football that’s thrown in a spiral, lends gyroscopic stability to the projectile, which prevents it from tumbling. All of the competitions’ model rockets had these straight helical fins. What the rocket scientists knew was that a curved fin is stronger and creates more torque in flight. So, they curved or cupped the previously straight fins, making them true helical fins. And their model rocket, because it stabilized more quickly, went higher.

Love that they were escorted by Roman Legionnaires!

"Longbows" are becoming more and more vague every year ...

[@jamesasmith2494]

They call that monstrosity a longbow? Anything goes, I guess.

[@amos0140]

Maybe within the legal definition of “longbow”, but not in the spirit of the rules in my opinion.

[@ReflectorExe]

@@amos0140 that was my thought exactly , cool bow , but so far from what comes to mind when i think longbow lol

[@MarshallStrider]

It's really interesting with the bow here, don't get me wrong, I don't want to revoke the medal from Butts, he shot well, but with the WA normally being very strict about everything, like arrows, the distance from string silencers and the size/length of the arrow rest etc. - I really don't understand their decision here. It seems there is no rule given for the size or weight of the riser/handle.

the Australia looks like a bypasser audience who just asked to participate

3:10 "I don't know what that bow is". Sure as hell isn't a longbow.

World Archery: Longbow English Archers: Ahem, no.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Even in the British isles, a longbow was called a longbow because it was long! It is a recent idea, particular to a very small group of people, that it means a certain shape of bow... If the archers in the old times saw a Manchu bow they would probably call it a longbow, right? Because it is long... and it is a bow...

Binoculars shouldn’t be allowed at any trad event.

[@AnimaTriste]

This bow from American archer should not be allowed in this competition. I'm aware, that it is, bit it should not be. Not a deserved medal in my opinion.
