Shooting an arrow faster than 300 fps with a traditional bow is the ultimate challenge! Reports and pictures keep appearing on the Internet, in which Thomas Brugger from ArcheryExtrem shoots an arrow through the chronograph at an incredible speed of more than 300 fps. During one of his instinctive archery courses, Henry Bodnik met with Thomas Brugger from ArcheryExtrem in the archery hotel Bad in Eisenbach to answer the following question. 

Can a Bodnik Bow exceed the ultimate 300 fps mark? Is it possible?

Thomas Brugger from ArcheryExtrem is not convinced, he has his doubts. His training with extremely heavy bows and his experience with shots in the field of highest possible speeds are undoubtedly unrivaled.

There are a few very important reasons why all of us at Bodnik Bows were motivated to test our bows against this magical speed barrier. At Bodnik Bows, it's not just a simple goal of trying to shoot an arrow through a chronograph at speeds faster than 300 feet per second. Yes, of course the challenge is appealing to us, but there are other reasons that are much more important!

We want to build the best bows in the world and keep them at a price that the normal person can afford. We want to push the limits of bow building design and materials. We want to learn how to make our bows better and better. When you strive to be the best of the best, you must always push yourself to keep learning and to continue improving. Here at Bodnik Bows, it's all about making the best bows possible and offering those bows to instinctive archers everywhere!

 Bodnik Bows are well known among traditional bows for their powerful, high performance limbs. However, with high performance comes stress and strain on materials. Here at Bodnik bows, we have perfected our bowmaking process. We offer, smooth drawing, whisper quiet, high performance bows - and we stand behind every one of them with our legendary 30-year Bodnik Bows guarantee!  This one-of-a-kind bow guarantee has made us famous with traditional archers all around the world.  

•  Are our Bodnik Bows stable and durable even in these highest of training weights - even when shooting lightweight arrows at the fastest arrow speeds?
• Do our Bodnik Bows remain whisper quiet and pleasant to shoot in these ultra-heavy bow weights while shooting at unbelievable arrow speeds?

Good questions! We also wanted to get to the bottom of this and to see for ourselves!

We are really excited to see how our Bodnik Bows do during this extreme test. Of course Thomas Brugger from ArcheryExtrem is the right man to do the shooting of this heavy and - hopefully, super-fast Bodnik Bow.

What do you think?

300 fps? Do you believe that a Bodnik Bow can break this magical barrier?

We will test it and see! Next week there will be a detailed report with the results, right here on our blog!
