For a second I thought this was going to be that prank where the sound is a lady moaning in a porno. Somebody do it please!

Whistling arrows are common around the world and, as the post implies, was intended to scare the living out of the enemy

That's not the bow sounds it's specific type of arrow that's made to make the sound

I guarantee the soldiers in battle weren't moving as slow as this chick!

I love the look of the outfit. And that's indeed an arrow with a whistle head.

zen of archery explains this style of shooting is about form, release and connection between archer and arrow. nothing to do with accuracy

Is this the Yumi bow?

Who, me?

I own a Yumi Nisun. When the arrow is released it makes NO sound! Special arrows perhaps...

Its a whistling arrow, used to scare people, but won't puncture armor, and won't even leave that deep a wound, pure psychological warfare.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Definitely a special arrow. There are times for psychological warfare using whistling arrows, and times for silent arrows.

you hear this in a battle you can relax - these are for signalling purpose only

I feel like the fact that the bow is taller than the user is being ignored

Samurai are generally associated with swords but for a longer period the measure of a samurai was their bow skill from horseback (and spears

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Samurai fought each other with bows and daggers

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Swords were mostly for back up if you fell of your horse and had to fight dirty peasant troops on their level.

Umm… no? That’s a whistler arrow head, it’ll sound like no matter how it’s launched. Hollow, so not for hunting animals or piercing armor

It was used on the battlefield as a signal (think bugles in certain eras of Western war).

Mononoke Hime has a couple of these shot to alert soldiers. It's cool to hear the anime sound is really close to the actual one.

well mister jeff, unless you have 2 enemies who also dont like each other, the chances of being MIDST battle and getting shot by arrows...

is highly unlikely.

That's a specific type of arrow that is designed to "whistle". It was used to decrease enemy morale as you can imagine it would be 1/2

4 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 2

Terrifying hearing these come at you and seeing your allies drop. 2/2

4 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

I wonder if it was also used to signal allies. IE, someone fires one of these arrows up, nearby friendlies are alerted to something.

During WW2 they did a study and found the Nebelwerfer caused the most panic, even though it wasn't that effective. The noise scared allied

Seems like it has to do with the design of the arrow and nothing to do with the bow.

A whistling arrow is used for communication. Easy to hear and read a battle.
