Archery Training.

It can happen in many different ways, both the technology part and the strength component. Struggling with a bow in a smooth way is important and just standing and shooting at the target is boring. I chose another way of strength training, to combine pleasure with pleasure, so I bought 20 M3 with longwood! The aim of this has been that, all that can be lifted up on the sawhorse is smoothly handed with the bowsaw by hand, And that I have followed to the point. Chainsaw is available, it has only been used to cut coarser logs for cleavage with the ax. Also tried to split whole coarse logs with the ax and wedges, no problem more than the material was not straightforward, so I abandoned. To my mind, I had pain in my left arm and could not shoot as much as I want, the idea of work as much as possible is to get more of other muscle groups to work too.

Three videos are taken and edited, I have chosen not to edit more than necessary, so the video will be quite long, but there be some who wants to watch the entire video and others who will not. I have also added a video of my self-built automatic wood-cutting machine, which I started to build in 2003, it cut and split a 35 cm diameter log in ten pieces every eight seconds. A certain difference to work by hand, Hehe.

Completely,finnisht that will give approximately 60% more volume, which means that these 20 m3 of longwood (logs) has become 30-35 m3 firewood. And that's how it's sold! Of these 30-35 m3, 35% are sawed with bowsaw by hand, the rest that has been to heavy to lift is chopped with chainsaw. Each piece that had to be cleaved is lovingly treated by this amazing precision instrument called axe.

What is then required for power to cut off a stock with a bowsaw by hand, with diam. 10-22 cm? Estimated resistance is 10 to 30 # Depending on the size of the log, the leaves in the log is the resistance considerably higher. It will be 12 to 50 traits with the saw, also due to roughness. 12-13 cubes will be on each stock.

Now the last stock is cut and split and what is the benefit of this? Well, it's been amazing to work this way. Today, I have no pain in my left arm, my draw weight has increased by 10 #, which also means that the technical part of the shooting is easier and more stable. We also do not need to buy a ready-made firewood fore the winter for 15,000 kr (1500 euro). I also send a grateful thought to my parents who have fostered me to work, for without their genes, this would have been unthinkable.
