making some spears..

Seems good idea

bro how this video get viral

You've been blessed by the algorithm for creating good content.

😂

he is, and the draw weight was standard for warbow to have chance for defeating armor, and not even a full plate armor.

He is a big balls tough guy

@Dean Gullberry You trolls are getting lazy man. Could at least try.

@SHADOWED INsilence I agree his stance was off, but he was tryna make a cool video so it doesnt matter, that and there isnt a "right" way to shoot a bow, theres a normal way but other ways do indeed work, my shooting stance is different than what you described for a small example

Absolutely the fuck not. Everybody needs one of these 🤘💯

Eyyhhh

Armour disagrees

"This single arrow will shoot the person's lung right out of their chest"

effin A!!!!! lmfao

I lift and you don't need to be that strong to pull a bow like this, you are using your entire body when pulling since one arm is pushing the bow away while the other one is pulling the string and you are also moving in such a way the whole upper body is engaged in pulling the string, I think that if you can dumbbell row a 30 kilo dumbbell for sets of 12 you can do this easily and for as many reps as you want, and 30 kilo dumbbell rows is achievable in 1 year of lifting. I'm not saying this to stroke my ego, I'm just saying that you could do it to in 1 year if you try, hell even less if rather than doing a full body split you focus most of your effort on back,biceps and rear shoulders.

​@@382u3uuej Whats your heaviest bow? i think maybe 70 is the heaviest Ive pulled and feels pretty dang heavy. I need more practice though.

@@382u3uuej stfu meathead. You couldn’t do this. Go buy a 145lb recurve and post a video, I’ll send you twice what you spend on it.

@@382u3uuej saying you don't need to be strong to draw this kind of bow is embarrassing and shows your undereducated on this matter.

@@382u3uuej you must be thinking of this in terms of "145lb draw" and different weights you can lift, and thinking you have the math right. There is -NO- way you have pull a 145lb bow back and sit there saying it's not that hard. A normal person would need years, probably 5 or more, of training and a lot of them could never

Shoulder mobility and stability is just as critical as scapular strength.

It's one thing to pick up and drop 100+lbs with 3 fingers it's another to pick up and hold the fucker for over 1min to aim the damn thing😂😂😂 I just started and I'm only able to get a handle full of shots at 35 before I'm sore😂😂

@@angelgutierrez374 you're not holding that for a even 1 minute lol. Different bow

@@angelgutierrez374 I doubt this heavy of a bow was made for precision. More of a 100s of us just fire in the general direction of that large group of armored people type bow.

Member Scorpion King?

Welcome to warbows son, the pissed off cousin of your standard bows who eat plate and chain for breakfast. (Sometimes. Plate was hard for even firearms to rip into)

and the technique

the thumb and finger use to draw hurt so fking much as well.

для специально подготовленного человека это не большое усилие - примерно как на одной руке подтянутся, многим даже общей подготовки для этого достаточно

I'm with you there. I'm a pretty stocky guy and I can't pull anything over 65. That is impressive

I shoot a 78ib bow (only 70ib mods, my bow just draws super hot) When I first started a year ago I could only comfortably draw 65 or so. After getting better technique I upped poundage. I could probably pull a 100ib or so bow but have ZERO desire to lol

@@rileym2678 Hey, Riley - I got something for you to pull..

@@pdiddley7597 why my man

The first bow I bought had a 75 lb draw, I was like, damn this is hard to pull 😆

Hey, it's Brook. I found your vids on tiktok. I knew you will never stop the Archery. Have fun buddy!

How about some chronograph readings? That would be interesting. With arrow weight we could calculate energy rite? Thanks for the video!

@@newjargon1697 your welcome, this bow is designed for safety so there are many redudant features, (the company doesnt want to be responsible at such hight weights), hence efficiency is the least concern. therefore chronograph unlikely to be impressive

@@HistoricalWeapons It does look gnarly, but definitely sweet. Thanks again.

Just out of curiosity how much would one of those run you?

And archeologists can tell who was an archer that used heavy bows like that because their bone structure is so altered from years of shooting the bows causing massive muscular imbalances

I imagine cause they had to go through armor

@@Dukes3677 light armour yes, though you would just hope that the arrow concussed the guy or somehow went through the gaps of someone wearing full plate, warhammers, and other polearms were made to deal with them

@@Dukes3677 but I guess it's hard to fight with fast projectiles hitting you?

@@adhikachin27 it would go through plate if you were within a certain distance though...

Oh....that explains it.

It depends what you hit really 🙂 in the video for instance it looked like the arrow went through the target and hit solid wood it forces energy back into the arrow and destroys the arrow, if you hit armour for instance that arrow is gone unless it was a glancing blow 🙂

Sounds like RuneScape

@@mkxiong6427 I need an Ava’s irl

In apex I can

I think in my teens I pulled back MAYBE like 62-63 pounds max

@@supremememe4340 yeah that’s a lot from what I remember. I haven’t used one it forever but I still can’t believe that he did 145 lmao

Insane now, simply just ‘heavy’ for back then. High protein diet, physically demanding conditions, rigorous daily activities, etc etc etc… Men back then were much taller and stronger than now.

With training it isn't crazy, these bows aren't meant for super accurate shots. Moreso yeeting arrows down range very far into a large group with still enough force to kill whatever it hits

@@NightOfTheLiving8bit that's literally the opposite of true LOL men have gotten significantly stronger and taller over the centuries. Like nutrition and training knowledge would be literal witchcraft to them back then. Your average man now could probably beat your average man 2000 years ago to death with a bean bag. All malnourished and weak, dead by 32 and all.

ahhh i see thanks that makes sense, also i think the layers of plywood behind contributed

That, and also could possibly benefit from “tuning” - getting the right combination of spine, arrow head weight, length, etc, so the arrow itself releases more straight, and doesn’t need that initial distance to straighten the fish tail...

@Real Life Engineer good point also notice my crossbow bolt with very stiff shafts shoots perfectly straight . It doesn’t need to bend around the handle

@@HistoricalWeapons We are talking about two different things. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fryjabOFmJmVeaM.html

@@HistoricalWeapons And this one. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqtijKuX15jWiHU.html

Haha shit I’m only 32 and my neck and shoulder can’t handle over 65 lbs for too many shots. I’m sure that number will keep dropping 😂

He's gonna need all those thumbs to pull this heavy ass bowstring. 🤣

Yall need to stretch..

Agreed

Just wait until the broken shaft and splinters impale your hand holding the bow. Geniuses!

@@williambrandondavis6897 it seems more like they splinter on collision rather than when it is initially released.

The thing is, breaking takes energy. In the video you're referring to, if the arrows hadn't broken, they would almost certainly have penetrated. In one of Tod's other videos, similar arrows easily penetrate similar thickness of steel in the form of a brigandine because the flexibility of the armor reduces the deceleration enough that they don't break. This is why I would like to see Manchu bows and arrows tested against similar armor. Storing more energy isn't the deciding factor here (though Manchu bows beat any other historical bow by that measure, to my knowledge); what interests me is the fact that Manchu arrow tips often have a long shank (9 cm or something) mounting them to the shaft, along with a rayskin wrap near the shoulder. With the shoulder being the part of the arrow that undergoes the highest stress (for the same reason that the bottom floor of a skyscraper supports a greater load than any floor above it), it's the most likely place to fail. If the reinforcement can prevent this, we should see significantly better penetration against plate armor.

@@Wolfen5207 Now, imagine how less consistently arrows would have been constructed 1,000 years ago, and then think of the fact that every single pull of this bow would be akin to gambling your forearm. Is this the one arrow that will break on loose? Who knows! Lets roll the dice!

they have no idea what it is

Good point!!! Didn't notice that. I got a 80 lb horse bow that damn near destroys my thumb after twenty shots!!!

I wonder if the style of ring makes a lot of difference

Do it man itsfun

Yeah it's great for developing the right lat.

The Mary rose bow that was recovered was about 140, but some examples go up to 185-190

Didn't they use their feet/legs though?

​@@michaelgrubb8896lmfao what 😂😂😂😂

No that was elite archery the average were 70 to 110 pounds

lol

Look on the bright side: now you can get a cybernetic arm!

nope, lol. Those archers started at a really young age. Your skeleton is not that malleable if you start later

They are truly masters

Lol, sure. That’s like comparing an m4 to a sling shot.

Only Elite Keshig guards and Chahar soldiers of the Dayan Khan would've used that bow.

He has to be mongol. The strength snd archery warrior skill

Isn't Mongolian lol

Another thing they didn't have..... guns.... but thanks to technology and smart people we don't need stupid fucking bows

No, the imperial Qing army was anything but Middle Ages and a compétent horsemen (in the Chinese imperial armies by this time footmen used only crossbows and muskets) armed with a bow takes years of training. The banners units that operate this now are usually the elite calvary division of the army.

Not butter soft but only lived to be 45 years old.

@@elijaharvinger8711 Nope, if you lived to 20 you were probably gonna live till 60-70 at least

Incorrect it’s called becoming smarter and more educated over generations which they came up with better bows with less draw weight with just as much speed and still a ton of power

not yet, maybe at 170lbs

@@HistoricalWeapons peak pull is peak pull a lb of feathers and a lb rocks both weigh a lb

@@harlanmcdiarmid Hahaha,oboy. That's like saying using a lever to pick up something uses the same amount of force than without. With the design of these bows it takes much more force to pull back than the actual weight it takes when the limbs fold back "full draw". Which makes these bows so powerful.

@@joshfrank1680 what you are describing is a cam.

i know right

Only if in you dictionary hunting means total obliteration 😅

😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed my ass off at this! Epic comment!

You shoot a squirrel with this…. You might find the tail 😂😂

200 lbs is around the record I think.

I would say aluminum or brass knocks.

Bro the video blowing up

what about bamboo shaft ?

lol

@Darren Harper when I was a. archery instructor I spent about haft the time repairing arrows. No heavy bows and only soft backgrounds. Longer aluminum shafts bent near the tip were trimmed down for the smaller bows for the younger kids. No compound bows, only long bows and recurve bows. Most were 30 pounds on down. I used to hunt small game with twenty-five pounds down to 20 pounds. I don't hunt or fish anymore: I don't like to kill things.

Naturally, being large helps a lot but, isn't a requirement. A fellow archer friend of mine pulls back 120 like it's nothing. He's only 5' 7 & 140lbs.

@@Eric2300jeep oh I wouldn't doubt that for one second. I just have a very long length of pull. I'm just over 6'4 so my arms allow me to pull very far and heavy back. I have friends who are much smaller than me but are absolutely incredible archers and I continue to learn so much from them.
