IT’S FINISHED! Joerg Sprave from “The Slingshot Channel“ invented the amazing “Instant Legolas“ magazine system for longbows; he challenged me to make a Medieval version.........
I made the device and in turn challenged Joe Gibbs from “Hillbilly Bows“ to shoot it.......
This film shows the device, how it is used, our thoughts on it and what 5 of them can do in the hands of a powerful and experienced archer.
If you would like to support my work on this channel you can always buy my fantastic reproduction medieval weaponry available here
Stats:
Bow in Joerg’s device - approx 30lbs
Tod’s bow in Tod’s device - approx 95lbs
Joe’s Bow in Tod’s device - approx 120lbs
Multishot sequence bow - approx 45lbs
Feather fletched bolt - 65g
Wood fletched bolt - 85g
Note: A lighter bow was used for the multi shot sequence as approximately 60 bolts needed to be shot within a few minutes after an already strenuous day, so we wanted to keep it easy.
The two films clips were taken from
“Arrows v’s Armour - Mythbusting“
“Crossbow v’s Longbow“
