The Westside Discs Longbowman is a speed 9 fairway driver with glide 4, turn 0 and fade +3, for an estimated maximum distance of 105 m / 344 ft. With fade outweighing turn by 3 points, it is a very overstable fairway driver: it holds a straight-to-left line even when thrown with power, resisting the wind rather than turning over. The flight path above is traced directly from Westside Discs's official chart, so it reflects the disc's real charted flight rather than a calculated estimate.

How the Longbowman flies

At speed 9, this is a fairway driver in the fairway range. It needs a developed throwing motion to reach its rated flight — a clear step up from beginner speed. Its glide of 4 gives it steady, controllable float. A turn of 0 means it resists turning right even at full power, and a fade of +3 gives it a strong, reliable hook back to the left at the end.

Who it's for & how it handles

Stability: Very overstable (rating +3). It holds its line in a headwind and resists turning over, making it a dependable wind fighter.

Backhand & forehand: The extra fade resists the turning force a forehand imparts, so it doubles as a reliable sidearm disc; on a backhand it finishes dependably to the left for a right-handed thrower.

Skill level: Its high speed and overstable finish need real power to fly properly, so it suits intermediate and advanced arms more than beginners.
