      @UgriArcher I was well impressed when you hit the patch of hay. Perfect parabolic flight in the dark with a flaming ball of fire two feet away from your face. And the sound. Like a meteor flying through the sky.

      Heheh! Yes indeed. Every spring I actually find lots of my arrows and arrow parts from the yard. And I'm sure some will still remain for future archeologists to discover ;)

    I thought it would actually burn the archers hand and so couldn't be drawn fully but you proved otherwise bravo.

    • @UgriArcher
      @UgriArcher  Місяць тому +1

      Yes, that is an important point to realize. It doesn't burn even when drawn very close to the hand. The heat tends to raise up, so the hand approaching the flame from the side or beneath is quite ok.

    • @UgriArcher
      @UgriArcher  Місяць тому

      Kiitos. Joo toi kantama ei ole paras mahdollinen, mutta sitäkin voi lisätä niin että antaa enimpien tuohien palaa pois kunnolla niin että nuoli kevenee ja ilmanvastus pienenee.

    Kuinkas hyvin tuollainen tulinuoli sytyttäisi märän olkitaulun? Ts. kannattiko sateisena päivänä historiallisessa mielessä ampua kohdetta?

    • @UgriArcher
      @UgriArcher  Місяць тому

      No tokihan se kuiva kohde paremmin syttyy, mutta jos ei nyt ihan läpimärkää tai kaatosadetta ole niin kyllä useempi tuommoinen nuoli saattaisi aika hyvin saada palon alulle haastavammassakin kelissä.

    Doesn't look very aerodynamic - but then I suppose it doesn't have to be when your target is literally the size of a barn!

    • @UgriArcher
      @UgriArcher  Місяць тому +4

      Yep, they aren't, but still fly surprisingly well where intended. Moreover, the flame also blocks ones sight quite effectively so this requires truly instinctive shooting.

      @@UgriArcher Did you really hit both targets first time, or did it take a few takes? :D
      And yeah, a flaming torch in your face is really going to mess up your night vision. You can see why these if used as weapons were used mostly when the battle was already won. Setting fire to the thatch... not a gentleman's weapon at all!
