So how would an skilled archer train pesants teenagers to skilled archers in matter of week in an emergency ??? Limeted everything in middle of winter ,few arrows and arrows break , arrowheads break ,strings break bows break , what about glue to mend everything ?? make your glue by sinju cocking?? , right clothes or train in mail ?? indoors or outdoors , in rain and snow - Lars students are practising in best possible way -and in the past not so so larses method cant be taken for real

Cómo esto tiene tan pocos likes

its already super cool without the need to risk people lol so unnecessary but awesome shots

At this point… I feel like calling BS is justified.

GOAT

42 years ago I was 8 years old and invented a bow with metal arrows and bicycle resin power :)

If a video game had realistik physics in medevial setting then Lars could do this in the game , but physics are simplified in modern games due to visuals are way more important and real physics will get fps down to less than 3 , Visuals on a wall are fake but if its calculated by the mesh... you need 64 cores i assume so we wont see lars style of archery in the next 20 years from EA or any other game maker

@Lars Anderson it's history not mythology

Ur are Arjun

This is the silliest shit i have ever seen, that wimpy bow makes him look like aged highschooler.

There is a Danish guy, Lars Andersen that have show those tricks 5 years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2nYqYuho7N3ircsi=huioNwKGf-GHZGcK

Always fascinated me how fast native american adapting from not knowing what the hell a horse is to a legendary horse rider

The Comanche were the most fierce Gorillas warriors in all the Americas…Master class on horse back.

bro u re amazing !!

This guy born to the wrong century damn

More deadly than Mongol archery that literally subdued like half of Eurasia…(?)

The real deal.

Jesus

THAT is CRAY ZEEE!!!

Men see this and go, hell yeah

Why not ask Comanches

He is from denmark and I AM to so like if you also are from Denmark

How do you do it?

I has been doing archery for 6 years and only managed to do 2 in a row after a shi ton of failed attempts. This is truly incredible.

The more the ancient stories and myths are studied, the more the elements of truth are found. Some claims were actually witnessed, not made up. The ancient story collators didn't have a fiction ideology, they were more or less chronicling the times.

happy birthday lars, it's crazy I always thought you were 40

what this video was too short I NEED TO KNOW MORE

He’s doing well for 60! ;) I thought he was my age! 33! XD

This modern obsession with arrows penetrating armour arises from a misunderstanding of medieval warfare. Medieval archers shot arrows which slid into the gaps between the armour plates or which struck the horse...also being hit with an arrow shot from a 160 lbs or 120 lbs war bow was like being hit by that force - several times a minute - it was enough to break up a charge, unhorse the knight, or dent his armour enough to make it difficult for him to fight! The English for example, had archers in their army outnumbering other troops by 4:1 at Agincourt...8000 archers and only 1500 other troops, 8000 archers shooting into a narrow frontage that spanned 500 to 800 horses abreast.... assuming the archers were mostly accurate, then average of 6 to 10 arrows hit a knight every 10 seconds.... imagine the horses and riders being subjected to this intense hailstorm of arrows, and only 1 out of 10 arrows need to hit an unprotected part of a horse, or through the gaps between armour plates, and the rider and horses would have been taken down! Armour evolved through the ages, early medieval armour was far more vulnerable to arrows compared to late medieval armour....so it's quite misleading to focus so much attention on the question of whether an arrow could penetrate armour plate as if it representef the effectiveness of bows against armoured Knights. No, the archers could break up a charge regardless of if arrow could penetrate armour plate.

Useless skill

dope

Very impressive.

Do you have an online course yet? I'd love to buy it!

Now please use a bow against modern bullet proof vests

Wow!!!

23:11 So, the meta seems very Eurocentric - very focused on longbows and heavy armor. Historically, there have been other situations. South America is notoriously iron poor. Other places and periods were dominated by nomads with light horseback cavalry. The British longbow very much fit the circumstance, while American Indians, facing mostly basic breastplate due to logistics, did remarkable stuff with much lighter bows.

Stacks everything in his favour deceptively. Arrows still barely stick to the armour, not going deep at all. Stop with the damn twirls you look like an absolute dweeb.

we wanted to see how it is done :/

Weird cut there at the 40 arrow mark.

The Avengers are calling you

He's 60?!?

Lars your great. Any reasonable person who understands archery as well as language issues knew that your original video was perfectly clear. At least in My opinion.

It is because of Lars that I watched this movie and I have zero regrets.

How the heck is he so accurate without any fletching???

Only did 7 because he ran out of arrows 😂😂😂 Dude could go all day

Its not a tall tale to say that this man is a living legend, among some of the best archers in history.

The wood for bow is pronounced Oh-Sage

I'm very suspicious of Lar's demonstration. Tod used as historically accurate as possible armor, properly and well made as someone noble could afford to do. Lar's is using what I can only assume is cheaper, less tempered armor. While it's true that armor in the middle ages could have uneven chemistry and some parts could be weaker, it's pretty well founded that properly armored knights weren't very easily killed by bows. It was their horses that were killed, and then they would be attacked by either other soldiers or the archer's themselves with their daggers.

1:41 did this dude really just shoot with another person down range? Seems like a dumb idea.
