Archery is a great sport, but a challenge to make interesting on video, especially when using a super wide angle action camera such as a GoPro. Archers stand in the same place and do the same thing over and over again. Moving the camera is one way to make archery videos more dynamic. For the ultimate archery cam shot, I mounted a GoPro Hero3 Black on a custom, solid aluminum arrow. Then we shot it at Golden Gate JOAD using light draw weight bows, ranging from 16 to 24 pounds.

Do not attempt this! There is a reason for the light draw weight bows and for the custom, solid aluminum arrow. Arrows flex under acceleration, but regular tubular carbon and aluminum arrows are not built for the relatively enormous weight of a GoPro camera, and can snap in half as the bow string is accelerating forward, possibly sending the broken back half of the arrow through your hand! Think it can't happen?
