I did this once in the Alvord about 5 years ago. I did it at night with a glow stick attached to the arrow. In the morning, I went out to get it and found the arrow was 2 feet from an obsidian point!! Someone did the same thing long ago!!! Crazy....
Yeah I can only imagine how hard it would be finding an arrow at night like that lol. Nothing to do with shooting arrows. But when I was on my first tour in Iraq we had these small drones called Crows that I helped launch at night. Side job as I was a mechanic during the day. Recovering them was always a pain. So I took an extra IR strobe we had and attached it to the drone with tape. The IR strobe was a small light thing we could attach to our helmets and either have red blue or white light or IR. The IR (Infra Red) was the setting I used and then used NVG's to track it coming back and where it landed. Made recovery incredibly easier. None of this was what we were supposed to do. It was just what we did to make it work. Sorry for the tangent. But the chem light story reminded me of that.
Wow. Sharing your hobby with your kid like this is the absolute epitome of beeing a father. Congrats! I shared my nerdism with my daughter who is an absolute badass. She dives deeper, shoots sharper, is a better artist, a toughter gamer, a smarter movie nut than ANYONE on her highschool. Without beeing a tomcat kind of girl. She is just cool as hell.
This could definitely be in the Guinness Records for "Most unusual family holiday"... I love it when people are passionate about something. It doesn't really matter what it is, it's the passion that makes it wonderful.
First of all, what an eccentric but totally American hobby, love it! Second of all, the current record is a perfect power of 2, which is nerdy and nice
I don't have anything to do with archery and don't plan on starting. But I like that guy and respect his passion. I fish all the time and I'm glad he's not competition.
Wonderful! My father was an explorer and problem solver. He set my mind on fire with imagination when I was a child. His guidance (he was professionally a high school teacher) left me in good stead when I became a professional sailor/mountaineer. Problem solving/planning on a sailboat in the middle of an ocean in poor conditions is an art. It's good to see there are other families out there, being so awesome!
This is a really really great documentary. It's wholesome and interesting. I get his dedication to his passion. It is so important to have something special in your life that drives you
Way to go, bud!!! Its always awesome seeing what people can do in my sport and have been shooting since childhood and took it serious enough where I traveled for about 12 years competing tournaments, olympic trials, Pan-Am trials and even Olympic festival when we had it until the 90's in this sport all over the country and US and I never knew that there was a category for it. Keep em straight, and please make sure the record is in Oregon, but most importantly, the United States.
Many years ago, a buddy and i made a bow out of the rear spring from an old truck. We used 3/8" rebar as "arrows" actually probably called bolts. Steel cable for the string. A ratcheting cable pulley to pull it back. Making a trigger to hold it was a challenge, bent and broke many triggers. Our first shot the "string" slipped up and slid over the rebar in a shower of sparks. Second shot the rebar just disappeared, the trigger broke and we never found the bolt. The subsequent shots we could see just fine and the bolts traveled relatively slow as compared to the arrows in this video. We never found any and couldn't even see a dirt puff from a hit. Never occurred to us it might be flying anywhere near as far a Alan's bolts were going, but they were going out of sight. The whole contraption was pretty scary and we finally stopped shooting it because we thought it might come apart and hurt someone.
shooting an arrow thru a sheet of paper is something I first saw done in a video some time back. Setting up an arrow to make this hole as small as possible is an art.
cool. i did tons of archery videos when i lived on mt hood in oregon. as far as i know i was the fastest instinctive archer in oregon. i love speed shooting and instinctive shooting. load fast. load without looking at your hands and load fast. shoot while moving also. etc.
I am surprised that the record still stands, I remember when it was shot, I was an Archer at the time and knew some of the Flight Archers in my country we didn't even have a place we could shoot half that distance, in 1978 I shot in the NZ flight archery champs in the target bow category with my Hoyt 42lb recurve with a few mods to help performance my best distance was 249 metres I didn't place but it was a great experience and learned a lot, I sure hope he makes that shot.
harmless hobby in a beautiful environment, that the family gets involved with. fantastic. Although next time I'm on the Alvord I'll be terrified of arrows haha
Another issue with that is the weight. These arrows are usually incredibly light. There's not a lot of weight to spare, and it's very hard to insert into a solid carbon rod without compromising the shaft in the process. I can't imagine it can be done in a repeatable way other than inside the nock or point, which may or may not cause structural issues.
@@BenRothArcheryengineer a towable metal detecting trailer that is very wide but lightweight, make it as wide as possible. Could drag it behind two bikes
Hello, Great presentation!. I feel and understand as any person Matures and reaches age of contemplation They return to places that they felt best and pursue Records that they can accomplish. You did just that.! congratulations..
Fine documentary! Enjoyed seeing Alan and Joslin engaged in their footbow flight archery. So much is invested in every shot! Alan pedaling his bicycle, under the shade a large black umbrella, across the vast white flats in search of the treasured “furthest arrow” is truly a classic image. Gotta love that guy!
amazing family, amazing subject, the opening drone shot of the bicycle/umbrella great...but my favorite part, hands down, is the "ding" when the red arrow pops up on the xray
Just because the nock and point are not going through the paper straight it doesn't mean the arrow isn't flying true. An arrow oscillates as it is released. Usually up and down or sided to side depending on the release mechanism.
In virtually all archery disciplines that's perfectly acceptable, and all but impossible to remove, but this equipment is engineered and tuned to get rid of all the things that cause those oscillations. That was the whole point of the paper, they were making adjustments until they eliminated all of that movement before they bothered to take any real shots with it. An arrow like that with such tiny fletching is going to suffer tremendously if it's not flying like a laser beam, they don't have the luxury of relying on the fletching to stabilize the arrow before hitting their target. Most people aren't trying to get a mile long shot with an arrow, and trading some velocity for stability isn't even something they're going to notice, but a momentary wiggle from the arrow in this situation and your distance could be cut short by hundreds of yards as a result. The arrow will still stabilize and fly true with that initial oscillation, it'll just land a lot shorter than an arrow that was already stable before it even leaves the string. Going further down that rabbit hole, most of the fletching and balance needed for an arrow to actually be stable and fly true isn't necessary, it's only needed to counter that initial wobble. If you can eliminate that wobble entirely, you've opened up the ability to modify an arrow with even better aerodynamics and balance. Historically speaking, the most impressive archery distances have been made utilizing reduced fletching and khatra, which is a technique to eliminate that archer's paradox from being necessary...done well, arrow oscillations are reduced considerably and is probably a big reason why they were able to reach such impressive distances back then.
good question ... they may be unpainted since they are solid carbon fiber and paint would abrade quickly and that might reduce arrow speed incrementally and at over a mile it is the little things that matter.
@@Skammeethat is a deeply thought out response, however, I would think if he was so precise to.consiser what you mentioned, he would be using a different type of bow string, adjust the draw weight of the bow or the channel the arrow shaft lays in prior.to release. All things that could show net gains. The arrow is the least if the equation. Fletchings, perhaps a secondary set may even help. To think a dot of luminescent paint wood just make his dreams vanish seems silly.
This is just SO cool. I have been shooting a bow since I was 9 years old, and I still am at age 79. It is a life long sport, and I say "Way To Go Alan Chase." Doctor George Whitehead
This is awesome. Alan should get in contact with the Slow Mo Guys to see the behavior of his bowstring and arrow during the launch. Greetings from Germany - Maik
great video! it's amazing to see someone pushing the limits like this. however, i can't help but wonder if the focus on distance means sacrificing accuracy. i think both skills are important in archery, and maybe we should celebrate that too. what do you all think?
What rubbish you are spouting. the maximum distance any arrow could be shot is probably 2500 yards or about 2000 metres. There are very few rifles that can fire a bullet 5 miles
For lining up the shot, may I suggest the use of a line laser. Carpenters use them, in this case the laser line would pass through the center of the shooter & the bow and then into the horizon. Leaving it on might help find the arrows as well.
I wonder if a thin teflon coating would help reduce drag. I found it interesting that early mornings were prime time - I guess the advantage of firing in hot less dense daytime air is offset by its turbulence. Good video, thanks!
I wonder if you could apply a reflective material to the fins of the arrows, then spend all day shooting, and search for the arrows at night with a spotlight on the front of the bike? Good luck breaking the record! Edit: 3M part no. 983-10-2-12(5), could you machine grooves into the shaft of the arrows to inlay strips?
I hate to burst your bubble but my boy scout troop came across this guy in the McGinnis book a long time ago and all 32 of us boy got together built a bow and shot it over 2000 yards . But keep living your best dream
Likely the distance was not measured accurately, using GPS. And I don't believe you. How can a boy scout pull back 300+lb draw by himself? The rules for this state that you have to manually draw the bow, with 1 person, no ratcheting or anything else can be used.
I wonder whether they could use an array of spaced out microphones to triangulate arrow impacts. I suppose it would depend upon how loud the impacts are and how much background noise is present.
It may cause a slight weight difference to the arrow but using a lighted nock and shoot in the evening could be a very easy way to spot your arrow. Just an idea :)
Wonder if you could shoot further with a compound bow than could be obtained with a traditional bow? Of course,that would be a separate category from the bow used by the record holder you are trying to beat.
They had peaple back in the days that shot these distances with ottoman bows(composite) and special flight arrows, in normal style, but it must have taken a very perfected way of shooting. To do the same today we must use Engineering in both the bow and the arrow and in such a way that it has to be shot by using the legs and both arms, if we could only talk to a flight archer from the 16’th century . This is NOT negativity against what you and your daughters are trying to achive by the way
I wonder how wind speed or wind direction is factored in or accounted for in record attempts. Cool people! Fascinating endeavor! Good luck in your pursuits!
Like others here have hinted at, look at the Lumenock-style design, a small led in the nock and beef it up to withstand the shock. Wouldn’t need a switch, could be always-on when assembled, just before firing.
audio mic triangulation would find the arrows or lidar mapping set near the record zone impact or you both ride out on bikes with weighted fishing line till u snag it
Thank you for not using any background music. Very refreshing.

Nothing to do with shooting arrows. But when I was on my first tour in Iraq we had these small drones called Crows that I helped launch at night. Side job as I was a mechanic during the day. Recovering them was always a pain. So I took an extra IR strobe we had and attached it to the drone with tape. The IR strobe was a small light thing we could attach to our helmets and either have red blue or white light or IR.

My only recommendation would be to raise your saddle a bit on that bike: much more efficient with a bit more leg extension. Awesome (unusual) archery!
And maybe lay off the cheeseburgers 😂
This man is lucky to have such a beautiful and supportive family.
Pound for pound, the best!

I've camped out on the Alvord in January. It was below zero with a 40 mph wind. We were quite comfortable with great camping equipment.
Go Alan and Joslin! Always a pleasure to see you two.
That is so cool to see!! Real dedication, and real, cool people!
They make radio telemetry tags for small mammals and birds. Might be able to embed one into the arrow.
I haven't found a manufacturer willing to work with me for this. Trust me I've tried...

It's possible but you'd have to adjust the weight of the arrow alot depending on weight in grains

Or led's ?
good question ... they may be unpainted since they are solid carbon fiber and paint would abrade quickly and that might reduce arrow speed incrementally and at over a mile it is the little things that matter.
I imagine weight and balance gets pretty finicky at this level to the point where a simple coat of paint will throw things off

maybe a laser level may help finding the arrows
