Field archery is a sport that simulates hunting with bows. It happens usually in woods, with a laid-out course a bit like a golf course. I gave it a go with a fellow YouTuber, and we had larks.

  • That was such fun to do! Thanks for taking a beginner along with you and congratulations on finding the trophy!

    "I can see that my arrow is not straight." As a long time field archer I can confirm that a fundamental part of field archery is having a supply of excuses ready.
  • What I love the most about this video is that you have: - Authentic looking outfits - Historically accurate weaponry - Bespoke targets with pictures on hessian - A beautiful setting with weather to match - Some sort of idea of what you're doing ... BUT ... Organising three sticks painted different colours? Run away! Run away!!!! 🤣
  • At my archery club we have a joke: Compound archers look for their arrows in the gold (bullseye). Recurve archers look for their arrows in the target. Barebow (traditional longbow) archers look for their arrows!
  • The combination of Jason's very calm demeanor and Lindy's manic energy is very entertaining.
  • This is great fun chaps. Perhaps we should have some kind of medieval YouTuber archery challenge - but only for people like us who are crap at archery. Lloyd, I'd recommend having your arrow quiver pointing the other way, but each to their own.
  • Brilliant! My favorite line was "I allow my arrows to mature into a nice, graceful arc"
  • I like to imagine Jason starts every conversation with "if I'm on a horse and I have a lance..."
  • Man I wish I could be there with you guys, looks like so much fun. Great to see Jason representing the right side longbow shooting!
  • The eccentric history teacher I wish I had in school together with a man who is probably an actual knight going over a historical topic for over forty minutes? My shitty week has been made massively better. People like y'all give me hope.
  • Loyd: "Are you sitting comfortably?" Me: No?!? Loyd: "Well sit properly then!" How does he know???
  • "Jason happens to own a forest." Now that is serendipitous! At the perfect forest-requiring time

    Fun archery fact. The centre of a mediaeval archery butt was marked with a white disc known as the Blank. When shooting from range, one had to aim above the Blank, to allow for gravity to do its thing. If, however, you were so close that you could aim directly at the disc, this was called Point-Blank range.
  • 23:15 You make me genuinely sad imagining no more Lindybeige. Please take your time passing, we all enjoy you too much.
  • MHTV and Lindybeige make for a very entertaining duo, with Lloyd's enthusiasm and flair for drama contrasting against Jason's incredibly calm and laid-back demeanor.
  • That's the beauty of Lindybeige videos. You have no idea when the next one will be uploaded. It could be the middle of the night or midday. They could be no upload for a month, or they could be the next day.
  • In today's video Lindy literally hunts a man with a bow for sport
  • Being a yank from New England and been stump shooting all my life with long bow all I can say what a hoot watching this video.
  • Seems like everyone is having fun would be great to shoot with you guys!
