LARP Bow! part 2

The conclusion to the LARP bow by Epic Armory review. We took it out to the field and tested both the original 25 pace shooting test and long distance shooting.

Items of note:

1) With the IDV arrows effective range was approximately 25 paces. At that range and aiming about 5* above the target we could get continual hits on a man sized target.

2) Effective area range was between 30 and 40 paces. We could drop arrows into that range band but lacked the accuracy of the 25 pace distance. With an angle of about 45* this is a very good area effects weapon. If it was employed en masse against a large group target (say a mass formation of enemy troops) the results would be devastating.

The weather was great with light winds blowing across the field at about 5 mph.

Other than some camera issues and problems with the body mic (sorry about the wind noise) a simply beautiful day to be out and having fun.
