nicolearchery:    So today I broke physics and learned that doubling your draw weight in under seven days shouldn’t be a thing:    I shot my Hoyt Prodigy for the first time since separating my shoulder and while my shoulder didn’t hurt, there is no way on earth it can take 40lbs, which is disappointing, but expected especially since last week I went from 22lbs to 34lbs. I’ll stick with 34lbs and the horizon for the time being. Shooting the prodigy, if only briefly, was wonderful though.     Then the arrow. Fast forward now, three hours. I am at 70 meters with my horizon and 34lb limbs and things are great. I’m on target and the shots are flowing. I fire off an arrow, and it flies a little funny and I assume that a spin wing has torn off mid flight. The arrow hits the target and it was the last arrow of the end so no biggy, right? Then things for weird,    As I pull my arrows, I notice this one, while still embedded in the target is far away from the others, by a lot. Closer inspection reveals that the arrow has not only begun to crack but is now only being held together by a few fibers.    I inspected the arrow and saw no indication of other damage. Since it was the last arrow I shot, it didn’t get shot and damaged by another arrow. My bow shows no sign of damage. Last I checked that’s not how physics works. If an arrow is going to disintegrate mid flight, it doesn’t make it to the target, let alone embed itself in a score ring. And your bow is gonna seriously reflect shooting a broken arrow.    So that’s how I broke science and why I am still not using my prodigy. But actually a really good day all in all. How was your day? Curious if a previous impact damaged the arrow, but it held together for few more shots. Scary thought, as it could of broken at full draw. Glad you are okay though. -- source link
