"Feathers come in 2 flavors".... Well good sir, I figured out why he licked the Feather. Flavor sir. Flavor.
-
You are correct that Lurtz (the Uruk-Hai Orc in The Lord Of The Rings) IS holding the bowstring with a reversed grip for aesthetic reasons - the production have stated that it is to show that the Uruk-Hai are not human, and to show a clear distinction between Lurtz and Legolass.
-
Interesting that Jim didn't pick up on Katniss doing a forward roll while wearing a back-quiver. That would almost certainly result in quite a painful back, an undignified end to the roll, and probably a few broken arrows inside the quiver. (Or a load of arrows on the ground having fallen out of the quiver).
-
"Why would you lick it" "Feathers come in two flavours"...
-
It's always kind of funny that movies that try to represent some type of Bow-Fu style of fighting apparently tend to forget that every Archer or even anyone in kit going into a fight would always have at least one knife/dagger on them which is far quicker and easier to use in close range than pulling an arrow, drawing the string and releasing. It also prevents you from wasting a perfectly good arrow.
-
Katniss Everdeen holding that bow string against her nose always bugged me so much, glad I'm not the only one that noticed that.
-
Jim grades pretty easy compared to some of the other rating videos out there. Still entertaining to watch though :)
-
He is very generous, one of if not the most generous one.He is giving scores like 5 or 6 when others would have give it like a 2 or 3.

5:27 I didn't appreciate fully how much force there is in a large bow until I didn't wear a bracer and the string traveled down my forearm. Left a most impressive bruise the whole way down.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people in movies and TV, especially in period pieces say "fire" in the context of archery. Historically, "firing" and arrow meant literally lighting the end of fire to set fire to a ship or other structural target. You "shoot", "release", "loose", or "let fly" in archery, you don't fire. I've seen that in otherwise well made films and TV series. To me it's like seeing someone in a period film wearing a digital watch.
-
Of course Loki catching the arrow, sneering at Hawkeye, and and then the arrow going BOOM! was epic!
-
I've always had an interest in traditional style archery. This video made me email a local archery club. Keep up the great work on all sides.
-
Considering that J Law was trained by a Olympic medalist (3rd place in Barcelona 1992) for her role as Katniss it makes sense that she's got the target archery-style in the movie.
-
I remember watching a Korean film called War of the Arrows. Lots of neat techniques in it. Like using split bamboo to fire a broken shafter arrow. Using the bamboo as a guide rail.
-
The metric of fascinating info/minute was amazingly high with this guy.
-
He's such a cool guy. Came here straight from the part 1 since I loved it.
-
Y'all need to see Joe Gibbs when he is shooting his 140 (or 160 don't remember)pound warbow. Quite impressive
-
Lord Petyr Baelish being a master Archer does sound interesting... :) Great video. My observation on Troya is that it kinda doesn't make sense to use so many flame arrows against infantry when it comes to realism...
-
Regarding the mention of an arrow storm in Agincourt, that really didn’t happen the way most people imagine it. The volley of arrows were not shot to the sky, to then fall onto the enemy hitting them in the gaps of the armor, but rather shot at them directly, at close range to deliver the most power as possible.
