That was the most practical impractical review I've ever seen. Might buy one.
Cheers!
Thanks! I've a lot of practical experience but not much formal training, so it's easiest for me to test by 'feel'
The new bow is just a touch slower and less impactful, but I have to say the sound of firing it is sooo much nicer. Aesthetically, it's a lovely bow. Nice to see that it's also an effective one, too.
PLEASE make that video on curved shots omg. in skyrim i discovered a little known probably bug that lets you curve arrows by going into slow mo zoom while walking sideways and shooting and i had a lot of fun doing trick shots, im really curious what kinds of weird things you can do with curving arrows irl (though im sure it's not gonna work the same as skyrim lol). i haven't seen anything like that before!
It's probably next weekend's post!
"in skyrim I discovered a bug" no surprise there
Even if you can't show it visually because you don't have a horse, I'd love to see your take on how advanced horseback riding/ bow shooting would be
Dude, your videos made me finally take the step and buy my first bow. It’s been quite a challenge since I’m learning by myself, but I’m so excited!
Thanks for showing such a passion for archery
I think I rewatched the last trick shot 20 times to understand the physics of you not falling on your head.... still don't get how but sick video haha!
I'm finding myself really interested in archery now.
Thank you for renewing my excitement in archery! I can't wait for winter now so I can go out and practice again (temps here are around 40 right now, much too hot for messing around in the backyard)
Yay, you finally did a gear review! This is awesome; I may never have even heard of that bow before, and it's gorgeous.
I'm sure folks are still wondering where you got that excellent quiver though; I know I am.
The quiver is from Mihai Cozmei's range 😁
@@blumineck Well maybe we just want to know all the things! Inquiring minds want to know! Please tell us all the stuff! :P
(But seriously, an intro vid about how you became this parkour pole-dancing ranger-bard, how you got started, and some pitfalls to avoid, would be awesome.)
@@Cedar_Wolf
if it helps, as seen in older uploads, he already had a proficient background in pole, and while the quality of the videos isn't necessarily the greatest, some of his older videos where he's first experimenting and mapping out how to do tricks might be good to look into?
specifically, from what i remember, "how to shoot upside down," "archery twin shot: how to do it, and is there any point" and his demonstration at the leeds university campus could be good, but there's certainly stuff i'm forgetting
there's also a few videos of him practicing up that are a nice look in terms of showing he was finding things and perfecting them as he went, and didn't have it all perfect on the first go
(apologies if this level of knowledge is in some way unsettling, i just have adhd and sped through a significant portion of both the blumineck youtube channel and tiktok account in the span of a couple days some months ago)
@@xvynth I can definitely appreciate the ADD/ADHD hyper focus of 'Oooh, I need to binge everything about right now!'
I'll look into those vids. Thank you!
You are the most handsome elf i've ever seen
Thank you!
My grandpa is a huge fan of bowin' bows, me not as much. But this channel just might change that.
Keep up the great work! ☮♥
It's beautiful. And it makes a nice sound, very aurally pleasing :)
Have you considered getting a brutally heavy Welsh longbow someday?
I'd love to get a heavy longbow eventually! The issue is working up to it without buying dozens of bows! 😂
need to get our boy a thumb ring so he can get a properly long draw going
Kudos for subtitles/captions!
Great video! But that is not a wood bow--it is a wood cored glass bow. The wood core is pretty and saves weight by separating the two glass fiber layers (which always makes a lighter bow than a solid glass bow made of the same fiberglass).
You are an amazingly accomplished instinctive shooter!
I wish i had the skill and dedication you have. Your amazing
1. Excellent pole shots!
2. Fantastic Men in Tights reference!
Since gun isn’t allowed in my country, I guess I’ll just go for bow and arrows to defend myself 😂😂
Advantage of Bow and arrows is that I can add magical enchantments to it by attaching crystals.
I had thought about asking what if any brands you would suggest for someone getting into archery on your last video for the very reason you mentioned in the start of this video. I have a compound and shoot it competently but I do want to start shooting recurve but am unsure what is a good bow to start with other than of course a low draw weight one, so glad you ended up reviewing bows.
It would be great to see a vid of you trying out thumb draw. I’ve recently got into archery and have totally fallen in love with thumb draw!
Somehow I'm a regular now
Good videos dood
Thank you
this is the video I've been looking for
What a beautiful looking bow.
love the content my guy keep it up!
Hopefully in future reviews we can get a target cam as your channel continues to grow!
hey your videos are really good man
keep up the good work
Guide video on how to start getting into archery please. Like some basic guidelines and principles of archery. Im sorry if i sound rude or demanding. Just genuinely wanted to learn. Cheers. Keep up the awesome work you're doing.
You have lovely huge walled garden. So cool.
This guy should move to the Sherwood forest 👀👀
First video of yours where you make me want to try it for some reason~!
Video on curving arrows? Yes please!
I wanna learn how to shoot like that!!!
It's mostly trial and error, but I can try to work on some tutorials!
The review was good. Your mic though is picking up your low register louder than anything else and making you sound uneven and muffled. It also picks up wind. Whatever you were using for sound before worked way better from a listener's perspective.
This is the same mic I've always used? It doesn't usually show up as much because it's on a darker top, but I've not changed it out or anything. Maybe it's getting old or something.
Could you tell us about the quiver set up you are using?
I really like it. Is it a piece of kit you made? If not who is the manufacturer.
Thanks.
Love your work!
Keep it up!
It's one of Mihai Cozmei's living arrow quiver range. They're designed for speed shooting
@@blumineck Fantastic!
Thanks so much!
you should make a video about compound bows!
omg i never noticed how sketchy that pole is before lol
Sketchy how?
@@blumineck just very wobbly, im sure its totally safe but it freaks me out watching it haha
@@-blaire- well it is only secured at the base, so there's a limit to how stiff it can be!
@@blumineck .... *Yo that sounds sus as fu-*
@@blumineck That's what . . . oh never mind too easy ;)
Damn, kinda want to get back into archery again now.
Gotta say, that thing is a beauty! And it performs! This is really nice! I don't mind it only comes up to 50lb, that is safely legal for hunting where I am, and there is plenty of target shooting to be had with that already!
Question though, is it weird that I can hear the difference in draw weight between the two bows?
Nice! Glad this was helpful!
I don't think that's weird! There is a noticeable difference in sound between the two!
@@blumineck I think I was a bit surprised because, for some reason not related to edibles, this time my brain laser focused on the draw weight differences and ignored the others because they were "close enough", while normally I take sound differences for granted because "it is just a different bow overall".
Id like to imagine the cut before ‘but ultimately, you can only stare at a bow for so long’ is because you got distracted and stared at the bow for too long and had to cut out that bit
I would love to see you review the stuff the rangers do in the book series Ranger’s Apprentice
🔥🔥🏹🔥🔥
This was review. Damn!
Slick!
If you can, you should point another camera zoomed in the target as a PiP in the video... I think it'd make them cooler as we could see you bullseyeing them targets better.
I'm really interested in your shirt. Where did you get it? It's there a Jane for this design?
Is nobody going to mention the shade to the imperial/customary system? "If you like your measurements unintuitive, it's about 52 inches." I'm dying of laughter over here as an American who has been frustrated by this system since I learned it.
Which arrows are you using for this bow? A link would be rad. Cheers!
You have a very friendly voice
Bro realmente espero poder ver un video sobre curvear flechas
i still wanna know where or how you got that hoodie/tunic thing
Where did you get your shirt? I want to order one! :)
What LBs bow would you recommend starting with. Say a traditional recurve bow ?
Might want to say wether or not the video is sponsored in the begjnning next time 👍
yes I was wondering this too, it's helpful to clarify whether it was bought with your own money or sent for free to review. He said they were helpful with shipping "throughout the ordering process" and in the uk you are legally required to declare paid reviews, so he probably did buy it himself. The review does hold more weight if you say that explicitly rather than leaving people to guess.
Yesterday, I was doing archery, and notice a few of my arrows had broken feathers. Will an arrow still work if a feather or two is broken?
The walking dead zombies dosen't stamd a chance against you're bow.
Have you ever had a bow break in you during the draw
Oh yes! It's been a while though thankfully!
if you want inspiration for further reviews, i really like Armin Hirmers videos
If that bow is 50lbs at 28"--its going to be a bit more at the longer draw .
Where did you learn to do archery?
Commenting on every video of yours that i see until you tell me where you get those tunics
talk about the arcane archer
please
This guy is HOT
I am new to this channel and am not very experienced with bow and arrow anyone know what material he uses as a target?
I'm sorry, I can't get over 1:40 because I bet your hands are, too.
Wich draw weight do you have on this bow?
And now try it with thumb release ;)
I'm intrested in archery but I don't really want to spend a whole lot of money on a bow, i'm conflicted.
gotta end the video doing bard style shooting of course.
What's the joke about a Robin Hood being able to do the correct accent? It's been so long since I watched any vaguely Robin Hood related movies, but to my knowledge some US accents may have closer pronunciation to English as spoken a few hundred years ago.
Speaking from the US side of the pond, as I recall the accent joke (from Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights(1993)) was mostly aimed at Kevin Costner's role as the titular character from Robin Hood: Prince of Theives (1991), wherein I would charitably describe Mr. Costner's efforts at using any sort of recognizable English accent (even to my dumb American ears) as "nonexistent." Obviously, he's a fantastic actor outside of that and by no means the only one to fail at accents in general, but as I recall the press at the time had an absolute field day ragging on him for it.
Could you please lob a arrow at your metal chestplate so we can see the penetration level
Finally a horitontal video 😅
How the quiver its called?
🤤🤤🤤
I wish you will meet mongolian and japanese archers
No shot while hanging out of a tree? :(
Is poledancing where you got your money for that bow😂
Partially, yeah
7th
It's ironic how you dump on the imperial system but still use pounds for draw weight haha. Don't get me wrong, I think using inches is insane too, just thought that was funny 😂
Love your videos!
The Asiatic bows are all sold in pounds of draw weight at 28"--though the length might be in centimeters, the brace height in inches and the width of the bow at the arrow pass in millimeters. Probably because the astonishing world wide growth in traditional archery was kicked off in the United States.
This may well be an incredibly dumb question, but is he English?
You need a better mic my guy. Or maybe put it closer to your face.
My tech budget is pennies right now, and I need it out of the way of the draw! I'll work on it when I can save up
Hands free set or a headset with the mic on the opposite side to the side you draw on? Should stop you dragging the earpiece out when you shoot, and keep the mic close to your mouth
