Sling Bow Archer's Paradox Video

[Wingman115]

In this video I try to show a arrow in flight as it's leaving the Sling Bow to illustrate the effects of the arrow when there is a preload put on it from the bands of the sling shot.

Always interested to see archers paradox vids, they must be a right bugger to make. First I've seen from a sling bow.
Thanks for the time making and linking to it.

I've had a quick go at modding an old black widow catapult with a whisker biscit to take arrows. Spectacularly unsucsesful, despite looking very easy

Is the slingbow you use a home mod' or a commercial produced model ?

thanks, Duncan

I purchased my sling bow from chiefaj.com. Prices vary depending in which model you choose.
