Having practiced archery for years decades ago, and more recently a couple of years ago, this strikes me as one of the best explained videos on KZitem. Everything is correct, so well explained, but not dumbed down (unlike most of KZitem). And that archer gentleman is a legend! Such an expert archer and shot. Those longbows have no sights or other shooting aids, and to be that good a shot is pure excellence. Great video!

He says making the stiffness of the arrow uniform allowed him to better hit tiny targets (higher accuracy) but wouldn't this only work If he got used to shooting from an exact distance everytime? Wouldn;t altering the shooting distance make the flexed arrow arrive at a different point in the flex?

That is unreal. Byron must have some sort of calculation going on in his head similar to a knife thrower predicting how many times the blade will rotate at a given distance to get it to land point first. But arrow movement is so fast how could you even see the wobble in real time to begin with, and with the proper depth perception to know where it will be at the target? That's a level of skill that's way over my head.

It may be firing a projectile or just as simple as playing a game. The brain does a lot of calculations on its own, it just comes naturally, at that point you know exactly where to aim and where your projectile will go, regardless of distance between you and the target. Obviously it's far harder to become a good archer like the guy in the video that takes years and years of training and practice.

@@CaesarCassius Keep in mind bows and arrows were not exlusively used on people with shields and armors; during medieval wars and battles there were also non-armored combatants (like, a lot) as well as civilians (not in the squirmishes/battles, but as casualties of wars). But more importantly, if focusing less on the longbow and more on the general "incoming arrow" part, the tradition of a bow and arrow is not limitied to medieval Europe either; Remember that bows and arrows predate recorded human history and have been widely used throughout asia (Ottomans, China, ...), the indigenous people of the Americas etc. So while it's definitely true that the direct mortality from arrows dropped significally among those wearing armor / had means of shielding themselves during arrow rains at battles like Crécy, that might not be the most accurate base for evalution when dealing with death from arrows "throughout the ages".

the right (dominant) side is the way that ancient images/tapestries and information tells us, but when target shooting became more common than shooting people archers got used to resting on the left side to hit targets. Left side is truly more accurate either way but a truly skilled archer can shoot from both left and right draw, and right is a lot quicker for re-draw., esecially if you hold you arrows rather than have a quiver (another thing that only became popular when people switched to still targets).
@shrooman768

There's no "wrong side". Both left and right draw are technically entirely correct. It all depends on the region. Eastern archers such as the Mongolians or Arabs, for instance, drew from the right side. Left is simply more popular in the West.

AH, so the mirror shot taught us something about the wobbling of the arrow. Since the wobbling nodes (where there is no wobbling) is so close to the tip and nock of every arrow, in reality, our archer does not need to worry about trying to time the wobble of his arrow with the distance and power of the shot. Looking at that high speed, it looks like the tip only wobbles about one centimeter up or down, and since he does not need to hit the aspirin exactly on the middle of the tip of the arrow, the wobble uncertainty is small enough that some part of the tip will always hit a target directly in line with the arrow no matter at what stage of the wobble the arrow is in. Notice that his aspirin shot was done with a flat arrow tip, so that even of the edge of the arrow hit the aspirin, it would still break it. I would say that he specifically designed or at least chose that tip to be as flat as it is so that he can do this. As long as the archer can counteract the archer's paradox and shoot the arrow directly at the target, he will hit the aspirin. Don't get me wrong, this is still crazy impressive. It just isn't magic tho

EyesofPhysics SRG Nice analysis. I think you're mostly right but it's a combination of the two things in my experience (throwing knives more than shooting bows): You learn to "aim true" and that will hit most things as you suggest, but you also get a feeling when the distance isn't right. How your respond to that intuitive signal is probably one of the things that differentiates the good shooter from the great.
@eyesofphysics97
9 жыл бұрын
JWQweqOPDH right, you are aiming at the center, but some part of the head of the arrow will hit the aspirin due to the square nature of the tip and the fact that the wobble is not significantly affecting the tip to the point that the arrow would be off far enough from the center to miss the aspirin.
@JWQweqOPDH
9 жыл бұрын
EyesofPhysics SRG If a sniper is aiming at someone's head, and there's almost no wind such that it would only push the bullet a few inches, he would still want to compensate for that. Aim is not perfect. You're going to get a spread. Do you want that spread to be shifted a few inches to one direction, or on center? You want the spread on center. However, if the systematic error were not even noticeable compared to your target, then you could ignore it.
@eyesofphysics97
9 жыл бұрын
JWQweqOPDH I see what you mean, but I don't see it as necessary. In the slow motion where he hit the aspirin, the fact he clipped it signifies that 1 cm accuracy. Given the radius of the tip of the arrow and the aspirin, it doesn't matter because combined, they are more than one cm. This guy could have actually calculated which way the arrow tip is bending at that exact distance and compensated for it and then missed hitting it directly in the center due to inaccuracy, but the better explanation in my opinion is that he did not care for the moving arrow tip and just lined them up exactly (accounting for gravity too) and shot. In the second way, he is guranteed to just clip the aspirin, but he will hit it as long as his aim is exact (or really really close) because the arrow tip is actually bending while spinning, causing the tip to not move back and forth, but actually in a small circle. tl;dr he COULD have accounted for the direction the arrow will bend at that distance and just missed the center slightly, but the better reason is that he just shot dead center accurately, and hit the aspirin due to the combined radius of the aspirin and arrow tip being larger than the ~1 cm radius of the circle the arrow tip is moving in.

Anyone shooting a longbow with any accuracy is a bloody wizard. Although any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic (thanks A.C. Clarke), accurate longbow shooters are beyond all that, well into the realm of miracles. Reproducible, predictable miracles. Wizards, in other words.

Elan Xu Actually, unless you literally can't focus that far, you probably can. There's a *lot* of stuff your eyes see that gets filtered-out by the visual cortex. It's pretty easy to demonstrate this to yourself. Consider how wide your peripheral vision spans, and then consider how much you're actually consciously focusing on. Though enough training and repetition, people are capable of these feats. Just as a hockey goalie is capable of catching a puck flying at 150km/h, or how any cyclist eventually learns how to control the bike as if it were second nature, no conscious thoughts of "I'm turning left so I need to lean left". There's also the opposite case. Pilots are taught to run through checklists and have a procedure for everything they do in the cockpit to make sure they don't make any mistakes by assuming that they know everything like the back of their hand, even if that's largely true.

Here's an additional tidbit: The the traditional japanese asymmetrical bow, the Yumi (which comes in the smaller Hankyu and larger Daikyu varieties) solves the archer's paradox by utilizing a precise and difficult technique known as Kyudo, in which the bow is twisted to the side as it's fired. This not only adds pressure to the string and therefore power to the shot, but also moves the upper limb where the arrow is nocked out to the side, leaving the arrow free to fire in a straight(ish) line

Darasilverdragon Actually the archers paradox isn't really necessary for true arrow flight with any modern traditional bow. See we have what are called center cut risers, a true real traditional long bow (D bow) has no cuts in the riser and the arrow is more akin to what dustin was describing in the beginning of the video (pointed far off center). Todays bows have cuts in the riser which are 'center cut' which means the arrow really doesn't need to be tuned anywhere like they used to need to be. They just need a slight amount of paradox to clear from rubbing down the riser the whole way. Still tuning a modern traditional bow (long or recurve) is difficult, even with the minor paradox required. I've never tried to tune an arrow to a real none center cut long bow, but I can only imagine how difficult it was.

The more advanced your compound bow, the more rigid you can have your arrow = less kinetic energy lost to the flexing of the arrow = more joules of energy delivered for damaging your target. This is what allows an advanced compound bow to take down a full grown buck, from a reasonable distance, when it is only set at 40lbs to 50lbs on the arms. Older bows needed to be set to 70lbs-80lbs with 70-90% let-off to achieve the same efficiency and it was much harder to draw the bow and hold it fully drawn much like a long bow that can be 40lbs to 70lbs with 0% let-off

It has to do with the forward inertia of the arrow. If the front and back of the arrow are both pointed in the direction of the target, the forward inertia will project the arrow in that direction as long as the arrow wobbles at the right frequency.

+Adeptus Forge The paradox (which admittedly he didn't explain) is that the arrow loses half its energy to the wobble. That makes it sound like the arrow would go twice as far if you eliminate the wobble... which it would, except that it would never get past the bow. It's a necessary inbuilt inefficiency, without which the entire system fails. The archer's paradox is how I made my peace with a lot of other inefficiencies in life. Sometimes you need them.
@AdeptusForge

Tim W That is still not a paradox. At best it's an analogy or an un-intuitive conclusion. An actual paradox is logically self-contradictory. A good example is this: The sentence after this one is false. The sentence before this one is true. Having to aim off-target to hit something with a bow is not paradoxical, it is un-intuitive. Just because something is un-intuitive does not make it paradoxical. The so called "archer's paradox" is simply named badly because archers messed up when coining the term centuries ago.
@twlocations

+Adeptus Forge I understand what a paradox is. The paradox here is that if you set out to increase the arrow's effectiveness by removing the inefficiency of the wobble you would end up stopping it from working. So the improvement in efficiency renders it 100% inefficient. Paradox.
