Bownarow Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I hijacked this picture from a Mathews forum. Check out how far forward a string travels after it is released! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedicast Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Re: String Travel Thats what the STS is suposed to stop. I would love to see that same picture, with an STS installed on the bow. Putting one on my Outback soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Re: String Travel I have a video at home that teaches bowhunting basics and it shows a slo mo video of an arrow from the shot. You wouldn't believe how much an arrow bends as it comes off the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Re: String Travel Pure physics right there. That's cool. What model is that bow? Looks sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Re: String Travel Nice follow through! If anyone tells you to hold the bow up until the arrow hits, that is what they are talking about.................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Shooter Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Re: String Travel Hey Tom, it's actually called Myrtle Beach and it's on the coast of South Carolina. LOL I've seen this picture about 4 weeks ago and left it alone, because of all the contorversy. I know all bows do this, but my question is, is this caused from the stationary roller guide. It's just another reason for me not to go with a parrell limb or short ATA bow. JMO It seems to be to much force on the string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Re: String Travel a couple of years ago i had some high speed video shot of me shooting from 3 differant shot angles . it was at the Nationals in Kansas City . all i can say is most of you would be amazed and horrified at how much a bow flexes and the strings move. plus the sights flex a lot also. and its not just any specific bow either they all do it. it has nothing to do with short axle to axle or paralell limbs or split limbs.the bow i was shooting was a Hoyt Protec with a trophy taker rest . the main reason i had it done was to show how the trophy taker worked and to see my grip and bow arm in super slow motion.

Leo Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Re: String Travel Anyone considering using one of those metal loops on their bowstring needs to see this picture. That being said, I also suspect the more parallel the limbs the more string travel is possible. Like Tedicast said, sure builds a strong case for an STS.

Randyman Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Re: String Travel [ QUOTE ] Nice follow through! If anyone tells you to hold the bow up until the arrow hits, that is what they are talking about.................. [/ QUOTE ] It also shows why good follow through is so important, the longer the arrow is on the string, the more it has an effect on it's flight. That is also why a longer brace height tends to be more forgiving than a short brace height, all things being equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
