Just wondering Geoff if that's when they're landing, or jut before they are landing?? If it's as they are landing I would say that the bending there is due to the fact the arrow isn't hitting the boss straight and the rear of the arrow is trying to overtake the front of the arrow.
It's honestly scary just how much arrows flex when they hit. Sometimes I'm surprised that they don't break everytime they're shot!! |
If you look at footage from the 2004 olympics which has good view of the arrow flight, it is pretty much all the way to the target.
Although it does flex more when its hit the target, just look at the beiter vids...
