"You don't let go of the string. The trick is to try and no longer be holding the string." That kind of elegant subtlety is what makes me love listening to experts...in anything.
-
A thing about Brave, Pixar came down to our local archery shop and had the owner and some other top archers go to the studio and talk about proper stance while shooting and they brought different bows to show the difference between how they worked. They had about 10 cameras that captured everything while shooting. Was pretty awesome. That’s why it deserves a 10/10.
-
The thing I love about Brave is their attention to detail. It's so minute that when they zoom in on her face for the final arrow, you see she has a scar/scratch at her ancor point. Which implies years of repetitive rubbing from the feathers of her arrows
-
My university has an indoor archery range quietly hidden away and very few people knows of its existence. In a glass enclosed display are several "split arrows". When someone successfully shot an arrow into the back of another, the arrows get displayed with a plaque with the name of the archer, date, and stats of the bow (draw weight, type, etc.). In all the years the range has existed (more than 100 years), there were only 8 split arrows on display.
-
"Killin dudes running away, type of archery" So casual 😂😂
-
I've seen other archery experts rate movies. "Brave" also got a 10/10 with them. The attention to detail in that movie was dead on. Even the attitude of a master archer was right.
-
I think I remember Hawkeye (the actor, Jeremy Renner) actually DID go do some archery training himself for the role, but the filmmakers made him do all the silly trick shots instead because it just looked cooler to them apparently.
-
Funny how he says he would be ziging and zagging, cause that's exactly what everyone yelled at Rickon when the scene first aired
-
I’m loving that Pixar always seems to hit reality closer than live action.
-
Love his casual light humorous approach to something he’s so passionate about. No ego, just knowledge.
-
Something that was complimented about archery in the Avengers was that Hawkeye did run out of arrows; he doesn't have a limitless supply. There are shots where you see him walking around the battlefield, looking for arrows, and examining them to see if they can be used again .
-
Fun fact: When they find bodies from the era of the English longbow specialists, they can tell who is a bowman because the bone density on their shooting related shoulder and arm is much higher. They didn't shoot bows to just to hunt and then learned war tactics, they shot their powerful bows their entire lives as an occupation and got paid VERY well for it.
-
At 8:47 with "Brave", you can actually see the fletching slightly scratch her cheek as the arrow leaves. I was surprised at the level of detail and thought they put into this one scene.
-
I really appreciate the fact that Jim brought a bow and arrow with him to illustrate many of his comments about the equipment.
-
As a hunter he’s ABSOLUTELY right on the hunger games scene, if you spot a deer but don’t have a shot you want to wait for it to move on it’s own or if possible very slowly and quietly move to a better vantage point, deer will bolt if they smell something abnormal, throwing rocks is just going to make it run away
-
As an archery competition shooter, a USArchery coach and an archery range owner, I give Jim's ratings a 10/10. 100% spot on reviews from the movies to the little comments about your archery knowledge!
-
Grizzly Jim has for years been one of the friendliest and best informed members of the online archery community, it’s great to see him get some mainstream attention.
-
Hawkeye actually runs out of arrows in Avengers (2012)! There's a whole scene dedicated to it, and you can see him gathering arrows in the backgrounds of other shots later.
-
I'm surprised he wasn't shown Avatar. The na'vi shoot inverse of humans and I think it would have been interesting to hear his opinion on that
-
One thing a lot of movies always forget is people would never have shouted "Fire!" when telling archers to shoot their arrows.
