Fun archery fact. The centre of a mediaeval archery butt was marked with a white disc known as the Blank. When shooting from range, one had to aim above the Blank, to allow for gravity to do its thing. If, however, you were so close that you could aim directly at the disc, this was called Point-Blank range.

We need more right side shooting in this world. I would also be interested to know how instinctive aim works on the move, because it's a very "movie-style" way of shooting and I doubt anyone fought or hunted walking and specially running. I think it would be impossible with high poundage, so maybe smaller shortbows had an advantage there.

@@Seldinor As someone who shoots off horseback, I will say that it's a bit like shooting with a shotgun where you track the target with your arrow as you gallop past. It can be done fairly scientifically. It helps when your arrows fly where they point, which Jason was clearly struggling with in this video. If he wants to stick with that arrow placement, I would suggest he switch to thumb draw, as when properly done with that method, the arrow will fly straight.

@@faithnfire4769 a twig will deflect a heavier arrow as well, depending a bit on the angle. Its more about the spine than the actual weight of the arrow though. Spine is a measurement that measures the flexibility of the arrowshaft, and is adapted to the draw weight of the bow. And this is more important for longbows than any kind of modern bows, because the arrow bends around the bow handle before it straightens up. Anyway, for rpg rules i would do it pretty simple no matter how heavy the arrow. Natural 1, deflected by a twig, natural 20 is a perfect hit. I know from experience a twig will defeat a perfect shot every time

At each target, an archer would fire 3 shots, with a hit being 5 points, with the two, more valuable zones being worth 8 or 10 points.

The problem with castles - and their attendant garrisons - was that they cost money to maintain. Governments being what they are, penny-pinching was the norm. I once did some research for a book on castles in Wales (not Welsh castles; about half the castles in the book were built by the English) and I repeatedly found reports about the sad state of both the state of the castle itself (leaking roofs and rotten gates etc) and of the stock both of provisions and weaponry. I remember one entry (I forget for which castle) that said "We have five lances - but only three of them have heads." So that's three lances and two sticks, really. I doubt that the stock of arrows was much better, in terms of quality or quantity. This may explain why so many accounts of castle seiges feature the defenders throwing rocks.

I would wager armories didn’t. Precision is not important in massed volleys or individual defenders from battlements firing on massed attackers. I would likewise wager that bulk arrows and bolts were not even that well maintained in terms of keeping the tip waxed. I think they were stored in relatively dry conditions, possibly packed into barrels for easy distribution when needed. People’s personal arrows for hunting or the odd marksman (as opposed to just you run of the mill massed volley archer) would likely be the only ones carefully maintaining their arrows. Heck we know the best marksmen made their own arrows and many made their own bows.

I got into archery earlier this year and it's been an extremely rewarding and door opening experience for me. One thing I learned early on though is that the more modern technology you add to the sport, the less engaging it is. Traditional 3d shooting is just so much more fun and fulfilling than Olympic or compound shooting at a static target.

For me the aspect of meditation and mindfullness with a compound bow on target shooting is greater than barebow or 3D (where the most time cosuming thing is to walk around or to climb)

I think Lloyd failed to really emphasize one of the best factors of this sport being one shot per peg. It simulates a moving target with a stationary target. Think of it as the target fleeing or charging, or the shooter hitting and running. And it adds to the sport because a well practiced archer could potentially notch their arrow while moving, and fire immediately upon reaching the next spot. I wanna try this DX

What a fun video! I've used the sniper rifle analogy as well. Modern bows are like sniper rifles whereas my selfbows are like muskets in comparison. Harder to use but way more challenging and, in my opinion, more fun.
@MrFreeGman
@MrFreeGman 2 жыл бұрын
Compound bows are like sniper rifles except they still have the reload time of a musket. Olympic recurve bows are the worst of both worlds. They have a longer reload time and the most extra gear to carry around, but they're still not as accurate as compound. No practical use in the real world outside of static target shooting. Not to knock on Olympic shooting too much, I'm sure it's still fun in its own right. But nothing beats the feeling of traditional instinctive shooting.

And idea maybe for kids or in a more public place. You could have foam tipped arrows and just before you shoot, dip them in a bit of paint (one that washes out of dog walker clothes) so you can see if you make a hit, without penetration

We did that with our group last fall (just with foam animals). The owners of the parcour were very creative arranging the groups and making use of the terrain: shots up to down, down to up, between trees, on moving targets (moving on a cable train) and so on. Can only recommend it, though you should only take cheap arrows with you and spray yourself against ticks.

Yes, that does look a lot more fun! When I've had people over in the past, we would usually follow all the guidelines from the archery club. Partly bc of uncertainty on the legal aspects, and party just trying to be responsible since we were teens and prone to bouts of idiocy. But I think now I will give this a go with some some of my now-grown friends. I am off to build an archery assault course. I know nothing about these techniques you are using though, with arched backs etc. Will have to investigate and do some testing. Thank you gentlemen. Your channels are fantastic!

His arrow had gone a bit off course and stuck in a tree, by dint of digging it out with the stout knife and a lot of hefty tugging the arrow sprang free and the knock embedded it's self into his thigh just above the knee. Of course Skyrim T-Shirts were exchanged after the visit to the hospital ... "I used to be a field archer until I took an arrow to the knee" 🏹🎯⚔

"First arrow casualty of the day, it's bound to happen" as an archer who probably shot his bow only 100 times (as in 100 shots) and destroyed at least 12 arrows, I can very much relate. Losing arrows is never fun but part of the sport.

I shot field archery when I was younger and loved it so much more than target archery, much to the disappointment of my parents who were both county level target archery coaches. Mine was an American made hunting bow shooting barebow with no sights and I made my own arrows. Thank you for a great video
