We never see Green Arrow do anything that cool.

Shit, that's impressive. He must have some elf in his genepool.

And a magic bow!

Why was the first thing that popped up in my head Will Ferrell in that stupid X-Mas movie?

I just watched the first "Saw" movie again. Hes like the main character. Mind blown.
thenottingham
Fuck thats brilliant. The movie is also.

I feel like that gif is made for just this occasion.

He’s a good showman. He uses such a lightweight bow that even if he hit someone, it wouldn’t break their skin. The science is sound though.
niauropsaka
Really? You can cut someone with a little recurve bow.

I like that kids t shirt at the end.

Cool but..useless?
Shadehawk
its cool and all, but that arrow looks like it could be thrown harder than its hitting those targets.
Gafflesmaxx
But, but, but....how?
mjcherbert
... but how much energy do you lose when making a shot like that? how effective can the arrow be when hitting the target?

Lars Anderson is a joke

It’s dat boi
ijoinedtoolate
This is the guy that was running around like Legolas firing multiple shots in midair
echonite
Yeah, the supposed "lost arts" of archery. Hes good, but that bit is just bullshit.
KaratekaKid
Except he has no clue about historical archery and completely cherry picks his sources that "back" him. He's a good archer, but a 1/2
KaratekaKid
Terrible source for any historical information. 2.2
Muugu
As somebody who coaches archery, he is a great example for a shooter you want to avoid as he bashes other styles with bogus "facts". Uncool.
KaratekaKid
Yeah, he massively cherry picks terrible sources and ignore all evidence against him. All the useful evidence is against him. He's a dick.
Muugu
I can already see people trying this and breaking their arrows/bows. No decent strength equipment can handle a fucked nocking point as that.
KaratekaKid
"This is how battlefield archery used to be, even though I'm using like a 2lb draw weight for trick shots because I know I'm bullshitting"

Exactly what I was thinking.
JPBStory
Even assuming this was possible it should be GOING THE OTHER WAY GODDAMN
usersubbordercontrol
In order to do that, you'd need to be moving like 12 times the speed of sound, or something, if I remember. It was like technically VERY imp
DomineSatanas
ossible to do it unless you have three corgis in your butt.
usersubbordercontrol
PantsGuy
Thanks for finishing their thought.
ZacharyDiscordFletcher
do not try anything like that with a compound unless you enjoy pain and a bow that needs to be restrung.
whyihavetoeven
You could use compound bow if you added string guides next to the pulleys.
yaboyrob
Yep. And this is cool and all don’t get me wrong, but I doubt that arrow could penetrate my parka at the draw weight required for this
Ryebread91
Don't need to go around someone when you can just shoot through them.
PatrikLilja
It could probably seriously injure someone if hit in the face or throat/neck. But yeah basically just trick shot.
Solivoid
INB4 fantasy authors use these sort of trick-shots to create an exaggerated archery technique that dominates the battlefield without equal.
Bananabeanie
Good idea
Vaanhalen
Hes doing trick shots. The point is to show what was possible. He has some serious stuff too and its amazing
Mistruths
is not was.
Vaanhalen
Was. As in the middle ages.
Mistruths
Is. As in it they didn't do it in the middle ages.
yaboyrob
Like said, it’s very cool. Just quelling the noobs thought that this was how archery was/it’s potential back in the day for combat
ZacharyDiscordFletcher
i can appreciate the trick shots ive seen his videos but i am conflicted about his interpretation of "history" and this is "Unsafe"
Vaanhalen
Yes bow violence is a dark spot on our nations history.
ZacharyDiscordFletcher
actually my comment was looking at the claims the guy that made the vid had made. says the style he uses is historical
behind7proxies
Yeah, damn you Robin Hood.
TheTittyLicker
At the weight he uses it's more like a firm tickle
nonCanadianGoose
I’ve made the mistake of trying to catch a broad head that fell of a table. It didn’t tickle. Another 15 lbs won’t help.
Textuality
I'm guessing he's using like a 15-20lb bow at most.
TheTittyLicker
15 at best. if you watch the release when its pictured up close you'll see that it looks like a toy
OverpricedCrayon
Does that mean you would let him use you as a target? It would only feel like a tickle
PatrikLilja
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3qjUzUzQg Even more draw weight wont do much to armor.
OverpricedCrayon
but you dont wear armor in 2017
nasreal
1 Yeah, it's trick shooting, his skill is still pretty damn impressive. The problem is, he was claiming it was lost historical techniques...
DevonGronka
If I understand, an arrow naturally curves side to side as it flies. The trick is firing exactly the same way so you know where the curve1/2
DevonGronka
will put it, so it takes practicing with virtually identical arrows, same bow pull, etc
nasreal
1 If you're talking about the archers paradox, yea the arrow does flex back and forth, but it's not significant enough to bend around...
nasreal
2 objects, let alone whole rows of people. He's exploiting something to do with the physics of the fletching and how air flows around...
ZoRawr
You want to practice with identical arrows and same technique anyway it's how the arrows fly that matters
nasreal
2 that he was trying to act like people actually used in war. Not sure if he still makes those claims, but the stuff that he does is NOT...
nasreal
3 combat archery. It's not like there's a need for combat archery in modern times anyways, so the whole thing is silly. I think he just...
Jinxer13
4 drowns in pussy
Lionskull
you could argue that bow hunters are "combat archers" look up adam greentree or camron hanes if you want see a proper bow use.
nasreal
Well, they're at least using the skill in a function that requires precision and lethality.
nasreal
4 didn't want to represent himself as a trick shooter, so instead he was like, this how badass historical archers were...
nasreal
5 No, you waffle, that would not do shit to an armored opponent. Even someone wearing a heavy coat would probably just get a bruise
