Just have it strung in the morning and just pull it throughout the day then unstring it at night. That's what I do to exercise with my 70 pound while I wait for my 55 pound that's coming in the mail.
This was 150lbs distance shooting ..... so what was the distance? I have read that the archers on board The Mary Rose could hit a beer butt at 200 yards.
Hi Joe, any chance showing us that 100lb plum bow you got? I can't find any good heavyweight plum selfbow around and wondering how it performs as well as how good it looks!
Who collects your arrows? :-) I too love distance shooting with my heavy bow ( which ofcourse at 80 lbs draw weight, is not a heavy war bow like yours) but fetching the arrows back again really pisses me off! Can you make a video on distance shooting on a target...would like to see the groupings! Also is there any mention of thumbs rings used for shooting English long bows?
How does it feel to be a man-at-arms about to be shot at by English archers when marching up against their lines at the field of Agincourt? 4:13 And for maximum 'bye bye' effect 5:20 Great job as always, love these videos!
Nice field. Seriously lacking decent space around my area in Darlington. Everything is crop and private land. What range you getting out of those? I know I clocked almost 900ft out of my 75lber. Well, google maps said 872ft. A bit over 2 footbal fields.
Thanks for posting this and all the other videos Joe. Any chance of you doing some rapid shooting at targets at different ranges and putting it on video. Cheers. Keith
I'm pretty sure any anything that draws to the right weight at around 30inches will work. What the right weight is depends on you, but I think Joe warms up on 40 to 80 pounds
That's super impressive with the thumb ring - any time I've tried shooting with them it feels like my thumbs about to get dislocated... doing it with a 150lb bow? sheesh
Can I ask what you mean when you say you can draw the "monster" bow but not shoot it? surely if you can draw it back you would be able to let go of the string? or am I missing something?
@@evilduckoncrack Pulling the string back isnt the same as comfortably taking aim and shooting properly. If you can only pull it back 4 times before you max out, then that bow is too heavy for you. Its like a swordsman who can wield a 14 kilo sword in battle as his job, Vs somebody who can lift the sword up and make 3 cuts with it before he is knackered. Being able to pull the bow doesnt mean you are ready to be considered an archer who can use it every day for his regular duty. I only use a 40 lb bow, i can pull back bows over 100 but i dont shoot them regular or own any yet myself. I can shoot my 40 lb bow 500 times in a row though and still have energy to use my sword after.
@@londiniumarmoury7037 Yeah I know, but my point is that surely to break a record for example, you would only need to get the string back and loose the arrow. If he can draw it once then I dont see why he couldn't shoot it once, inaccurate or not.
@@Joegibbs-archery yeah thought so. I meant beyond the normal range. I shoot 340 spine at 70lbs and that's near the end of the normal range, so yours must be sub 100 spine or something like that. I take my hat of to you, 170lbs !!! Yikes, I struggle at 80lbs and that monster bow of yours 200lbs Jesus Christ 😯
People asking him to show where the arrows land, dont fool yourself, he just wants you to look at his muscles, and that hes able to pull that poundage. Like singing with autotune: not the real thing, dont expect more
Hello Joe I just buy you the bands they have 58# 84# 110# 158# 260# and 305# rated at 32" send me a private message on primative archery forum I shipped them out what size bands do you want? Cheers Marlon
I gotta ask man, all you big bow dudes lean far forward when drawing. It looks really awkward, and even painful for your back. Is that natural or a technique you copy?
I'm a couple years late to the party, but you kinda need to lean forward when drawing these heavy bows and it's how the manuscripts depict archers from the time. It's the best way I know of to properly recruit your back muscles, and the forward posture helps keep your leading arm aligned with your torso, giving you more stability while resisting the incredible compressive forces. If you try to stay upright kinda like a modern Olympic archer, your rear shoulder muscles may try to take over and they physically cannot handle these high draw weights on their own. If done correctly leaning forward with proper 'medieval' posture is not only comfortable, it helps avoid injury.
It would be more interesting if we could see where the arrows are going and how they flew, I would like to know how many yards they went
Joe gibbs shoot 250 meters+ with his bows just watch his other vids
Shooting straight into the sun is how you get the fire arrows!
It was the trajectory and distance I was most interested in seeing. Second bow sounded delicious.
I’ve never tasted a bow before lol. But I agree
Wouldnt mind seeing or knowing the distance of the two bows. Maybe the grouping as well?
The sound of that release...l.intense!!!!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I maybe an odd ball; but, the louder, the crisper the sound of a release, the nicer. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
And I struggle to fire my 50lb recurve when I haven't shot it for a while. I'm impressed.
Just have it strung in the morning and just pull it throughout the day then unstring it at night. That's what I do to exercise with my 70 pound while I wait for my 55 pound that's coming in the mail.
Cool video Joseph, it also shows the style to pull a heavy bow and a good release
This was 150lbs distance shooting ..... so what was the distance? I have read that the archers on board The Mary Rose could hit a beer butt at 200 yards.
Apologies if this question has been asked already. What is the purpose of "dipping" down prior to loosing your arrow?
Maybe Joe is used to firing forward, so he does that to maintain the form from his muscle memory?
@@nitroglitch45 Sound very plausible

Too right

870 feet?
Jesus! He makes that look almost effortless.
Can i ask , as a new sub . With som shots under my belt , why are you not stringing the arrow closer to middle ???
Thanks for posting this and all the other videos Joe. Any chance of you doing some rapid shooting at targets at different ranges and putting it on video. Cheers. Keith
Hi Joe, one question. Those Training Bands are These normal Training Bands or are they Special for bow Sport?
I'm pretty sure any anything that draws to the right weight at around 30inches will work. What the right weight is depends on you, but I think Joe warms up on 40 to 80 pounds
@@holyknightthatpwns OK, thanks for the answer
How far do they go?
Lol what about the distance and them landing? I got a shock when it just ended 😂
That's super impressive with the thumb ring - any time I've tried shooting with them it feels like my thumbs about to get dislocated... doing it with a 150lb bow? sheesh
Damn you are strong! Could you do a armor piercing test? Like a realistic back in the days fighting scenario?
Hope you're subscribed to Tod's Workshop.
What he said.
hw would have puched the guys bladder on the tods workshop video but that brest plate was bloody strong
how meters ?
Can I ask what you mean when you say you can draw the "monster" bow but not shoot it? surely if you can draw it back you would be able to let go of the string? or am I missing something?
Like shoot the bow continously. He gets "knackered" his own words.
@@Daylon91 Yeah but surely to break the world record for instance it would only require one shot.
@@evilduckoncrack the biggest bow I think was 240 ibs so 40 ibs more then Joe's

I'm guessing those arrows are beyond spine ?
160/170lbs spine

It's kinda crazy that bows putting out 203 Joules a 22lr round puts out 160 I know a 22 is very week round but god dam that's just crazy to my mind

150 lbs, pfuit easy, you have arms bigger than my legs ! Impressive techniques, nice.
Joe very nice you should look at Elite fit powerlifting they have short bands tell you the weight at 24" to over 58" from 58# to 305# nice Job
Heavybows
Thanks those bands look good. Was going to buy 4 of them but the postage is killer😥 over 110 dollars to post it over to England.
I know how hard that feels, I’ve been shooting my 30lb for 30 min straight 😂😂
Thumb draw😲! All my respect to you!
Please have glowing nocks on your arrows do we can see how far they travel
Ты а самолёты стреляешь или по вышкам 5G?))

Are you not hurt yourself?, By not wearing thumbing or any finger protection

I bet this guy has a back like Hanma Yujiro
Shame it’s called distance shooting. We can’t see where they flew or how far?
Inspiring man, would love to get a higher draw bow from ya, im workin on moving up and would love to get a 100 lb
Hillbillybows on ig or face book. Contact me though there👍👍
thank yew. good shooting.
this reminding anyone else of Napoleon Dynamite?
Great Joe cheers Marlon
d&d; I want to play a ranger...DM: ok dex and wis will be your main stats... wrong str and con is the thing
Rangers are about the connection with nature not the actual weapon they use, what you want is a bow wielding fighter.
I want a Cerne Abbas hoody!
