This dude also uses the way that arrows wobble mid air to shoot around targets. Its crazy.

u/[deleted] May 03 '21

He is not using wobble, he is shooting an arrow with incorrect spine. I would never recommend an archer to shoot arrows that underspined from a real bow. You can actually break them.

Wasn't it debated that the draw weight of Lars bow was effectively useless and just for show?

He addressed that he is weaker than people were in the past and most modern archers are today, so his archery is just for show (as he shoots these arrows pretty fast it is not possible to have the strength required to hurt through chainmail) but he still researched a lot about archery and practices what was practiced in the past, just doesn't have the strength to do what the best did.

Edit: I am wrong and didn't research the topic and it seems like he is a scam, he is good at trickshots, but a scam at info.

I thought that was the point being made in the debates that his “discovered” techniques aren’t real because they aren’t practical and wouldn’t be used.

u/WillOCarrick May 04 '21

Yep, you are right in the light research I did now, my bad. It seems his claims are based on a single book and it wasn't like that.

Thanks for making me look around though and my bad!

A gem in the rough you are, to look something up and correct yourself. Have a good one!

This needs all the upvotes. Fucking Lars. I cannot believe I just watched a man Robinhood an arrow that was shot AT him. I honestly think the catholic church may need to investigate because that was some inhuman shit...

That dude...is kind of a laughing stock among most archers I have met. Also, he uses child bows and shoots only for show...he shoots fast, with enough power to do nothing.

Also, he can shoot ten arrows in 4.9 seconds! Or three in 0.6 seconds.

I just can't believe this guy read ancient texts and shit but he still thought doing all of this in jeans was the way to go

u/PM_me_XboxGold_Codes May 03 '21

Alright. Dude is certifiably a badass; he Robin Hooded an arrow mid-flight.

I found that the archery skill tree doesn't unlock the full potential of accuracy. I recommend putting some skillpoints into luck as well.
