No you dont. Few minutes isnt even enough to perapre your tools and you want to do your whole training in that time? The lifehack genius triple billionaire who gave you this this advice is an idiot
Then, what is the fun of action movies? If you end up making them realistic and grounded in reality? I mean, let us be real. 99.9% of the time. If you want to get rid of the main character or even the main villain. You just shoot them on first sight. End of story. Do not take chances. You see someone going to stop you or try to do evil. BANG! We are done. Problem solved. And a few more bangs to make sure. Also, maybe an explosion or two.
@@Qardo I meant more for smaller details, not stuff that would change plot, but more minor things like changing aspects of scenery or coygraphy to be more accurate
@@sday2137 A catapult is just the mechanical way to throw something. If you would try to launch that weight via a ballista, that wouldn't work well. A cannon is already a very different concept to a bow. The biggest problem is the length of the bow and the the energy comes from the string. For this to work out, the isn't allowed to much difference in weight over it's length.
I like that you didn't just one and done it when the first hook failed to catch. Shows you gave genuine effort rather than prove or disprove something with a staged test
My little archer/ranger loving heart is lifted every time I see your videos. Thank you for that. Also maybe everyone's inner Mabel Pines with this particular video, haha! I don't think I have the arm/back strength for archery myself, but I sure wish I did! I applaud those who do.
"If something's worth doing, it's worth doing badly." I love this line of thinking so much because 1, it supports my opinion that sometimes doing stuff the stupid way is just more fun, and (more importantly) 2, it lets you know that you don't have to be perfect and that sometimes it's better to half-ass stuff than to not do it at all. Seriously, you gonna skip brushing your teeth in the morning just because you're running late and you can only devote thirty seconds to it instead of a full two minutes?
Gotta say, did not think the large one out shoot. Thought the hook would be much too heavy and make the arrow take a nosedive almost immediately. Am impressed.
Loving this channel for how he entertains some fictitious ideas & in a well thought out way, I do think tho they gotta be optimized cuz if its too heavy then it doesnt go farther than you could just throw it, & obvy as he said too small wont snag.
This is making me want to try archery again, last/first time I did the people at the range were super unhelpful and snooty. I have tiny little baby arms so I'll probably have to start with a child's bow though lmao.
No harm in starting small! I'm sorry the range was snooty, it's sadly a risk when people take themselves and their sport too seriously! I hope you can find somewhere more fun!
Suggestion: Showcase your top 5 arrow types in a short. Maybe link the shorts each arrow is first showcased in? Boostin watch time ya know? Also, love your content. ❤ I have a wooden toy bow and arrow in my closet from when I was younger, I've recently began to modify it to actually be more functional, using actual hand carved arrows. Its fun to hit small targets I've set up in the backyard.
Completely surprised it works, I would have expected the complete top heavy design to mess up everything. Apparently I was very wrong but I'm also pretty happy I was, this is so much cooler than the boring alternative!
My grandfather put a rope swing in a tree It was about 130' from the ground He used a bow to shoot an arrow with fishing line over the limb and then used the fishing line to pull up twine And then finally a line of rope pulled up with the twine Super cool swing he built it on a hill so at the highest point you'd be like 30-40' in the air Super dangerous but fun as hell
Idk if they are actually any better, but i like the depictions of grappling arrows with folded hooks that spring out after piercing something, i imagine those hooks wouldn’t be very strong though, since they’d be on a hinge of some kind, not to mention they’d only work if the arrow head can fully pierce the target, but still, they look cool
I feel like the hardest part would be getting it down and dealing with it embedded in the tree after climbing it. It looks like a lot of fun though, I love archery but I have yet to try that. I can't wait to see what happens!
Just FYI, for anyone that needs to hear and/or just needs a hug..... That "If its something worth doing, its worth doing badly" line has helped me A LOT with self care during my depressive episodes. And it eventually turned into "if its worth doing badly and half-assing, then its probably worth putting more effort into, as well" and THAT has helped me to push myself when i genuinely just wanna use a toaster as a bath bomb 😅🤷🏽♀ ALLLLL the air hugs and forehead smoochies 😁👌🏽🤘🏽
Bonus points if that movie-archer manage to jam his grappling hook straight into a concrete wall, and it somehow holds the weight of one or more adults.
At the end of the Battle of the Bastards in Game of Thrones, Ramsay Bolton fired 3 arrows at a slowly advancing Jon Snow who blocked each arrow with a shield. I'd love to see this tested to see if those arrows would have actually been stopped by the shield at such a close range. I think you are the man to test it.

I'll remember this the next time I need to grappling hook onto a tree that's like 5 feet away from me
This feels like a crossbow job.
And we need a little controversy/ *sing in Em's voice*
Famous last word : "Wish me luck" 😅
At a certain mass it becomes much more efficient to throw something than to try to launch it from a bow.
If this logic was true we wouldn't have developed ballistae
@@davidy22 Are you drawing a ballista back in one go with your arms alone?

The first time I saw you was your video of different classes as archers. I'm glad to discover this channel. You're hysterical and informative.
Success, works just fine! Just not too much range, as it is heavy and front-heavy
It definitely needs refining!

Throwing seems more effective there.
But i saw some of your shorts and really liked them! I love archery. Must subscribe.
Oh, it definitely is, especially with a hook this heavy! I need a better made arrow hook to do it justice

Istg this man learns new things every single time I check back in-
Imagine being this guys neighbors hearing "YES YEAH OH YES" and its just some guy excited about hooks
the fact that he can talk and move in these things might be the most impressive
The amount of excitement when it worked "Yes🎉 Yes🎉 Yes!!!🎉🎉🎉"
Love how he's obviously having fun while recording these haha
we're now witnessing him become an even greater archer, perhaps ascending into his superhero journey at the moment...
That's worth an entire action.
