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.

Really? You can cut someone with a little recurve bow.

Cool but..useless?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

its cool and all, but that arrow looks like it could be thrown harder than its hitting those targets.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

But, but, but....how?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

... but how much energy do you lose when making a shot like that? how effective can the arrow be when hitting the target?

Yeah, the supposed "lost arts" of archery. Hes good, but that bit is just bullshit.

8 years ago | Likes 19 Dislikes 5

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

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

Terrible source for any historical information. 2.2

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

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.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah, he massively cherry picks terrible sources and ignore all evidence against him. All the useful evidence is against him. He's a dick.

I can already see people trying this and breaking their arrows/bows. No decent strength equipment can handle a fucked nocking point as that.

"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.

Even assuming this was possible it should be GOING THE OTHER WAY GODDAMN

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

ossible to do it unless you have three corgis in your butt.

Thanks for finishing their thought.

do not try anything like that with a compound unless you enjoy pain and a bow that needs to be restrung.

8 years ago | Likes 274 Dislikes 3

You could use compound bow if you added string guides next to the pulleys.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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

8 years ago | Likes 91 Dislikes 5

Don't need to go around someone when you can just shoot through them.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It could probably seriously injure someone if hit in the face or throat/neck. But yeah basically just trick shot.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

INB4 fantasy authors use these sort of trick-shots to create an exaggerated archery technique that dominates the battlefield without equal.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Good idea

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Hes doing trick shots. The point is to show what was possible. He has some serious stuff too and its amazing

is not was.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 23

Was. As in the middle ages.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Is. As in it they didn't do it in the middle ages.

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

i can appreciate the trick shots ive seen his videos but i am conflicted about his interpretation of "history" and this is "Unsafe"

8 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 1

Yes bow violence is a dark spot on our nations history.

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

actually my comment was looking at the claims the guy that made the vid had made. says the style he uses is historical

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yeah, damn you Robin Hood.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

At the weight he uses it's more like a firm tickle

8 years ago | Likes 116 Dislikes 4

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.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'm guessing he's using like a 15-20lb bow at most.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

15 at best. if you watch the release when its pictured up close you'll see that it looks like a toy

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Does that mean you would let him use you as a target? It would only feel like a tickle

1 Yeah, it's trick shooting, his skill is still pretty damn impressive. The problem is, he was claiming it was lost historical techniques...

8 years ago | Likes 79 Dislikes 1

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

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

will put it, so it takes practicing with virtually identical arrows, same bow pull, etc

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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...

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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...

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You want to practice with identical arrows and same technique anyway it's how the arrows fly that matters

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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...

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...

you could argue that bow hunters are "combat archers" look up adam greentree or camron hanes if you want see a proper bow use.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Well, they're at least using the skill in a function that requires precision and lethality.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

4 didn't want to represent himself as a trick shooter, so instead he was like, this how badass historical archers were...

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
