Fantasy Archery: Shooting Upside Down

I love to see this shot, and it's great fun to replicate 😁

casually flexing his pole dancing abilities. Amazing. I wish I had that leg strength

As a proud dwarf myself this is the only elvish content I appreciate

[nolanscope]

this guy is awesome. So glad he posts on youtube too because I don't have tiktok

Love seeing these answers to questions I never knew I had about archery. Those little loop quivers are so interesting, too!

[aperson]

I can just imagine characters in books or movies having a special shooting range in their back yards where they can practice shooting upside down, lol

Your ability to casually hang upside down from a pole while carrying a bow is mind boggling.

This man is helping at least 3 different Bow and Arrow themed heroes with the problem of shooting upsidedown

This just opened up a whole new world of possibility for my fantasy novels.

This has gotta be one of, if not the coolest, educational channels I've had the pleasure of watching. Your content is great mix of practical, interesting, and amusing. I love the brief but informational bits and the very straightforward and down-to-earth approach to downright amazing feats. Normally, I find archery boring af. You're the exception. Keep up the great work.

[KnightRaymund]

Some great demonstrations. Love these videos.

Coming across your content has really made me want to see _The Ranger's Apprentice_ get adapted into a series even more than I already have before. It's pretty much the only book series I can think of where the main character uses a bow as his main weapon, and he even dual-wields a Saxe knife and a throwing dagger for melee encounters—another oddity as dual-wielding long knives and daggers is usually the evil ninja's schtick, with the exception being Raphael and his Sais. Otherwise dual-wielders usually go for dual katanas, or dual longswords, which is more for rule of cool style points than actually realistic.

Thanks for giving me something to watch as i wait for my insomnia to go away!

Not only archery, this guy's gymnastics skills are insane as well

[derskalde]

Nice Demo.
Loose side quiver becomes "back quiver" once you're upside down.

This is a channel I didn’t know I needed. Have always wanted to do archery but not many options here. Really cool to see these “what if” questions answered!

If I were his neighbour I'd be contantly torn between staring at his skills in awe and panicking that one of his arrows might find it's way over the fence

I actually solved my “arrows falling out of the quiver” issue on my own and I’m super proud of it. I shoot with field tips, since I’m in an urban environment and the last thing I want is some John Wayne cop to stop me on my way home from the park range and demand to see my arrows, see them have some wicket tips, and then arrest me for open-carrying a deadly weapon. SO!

I bought a pack of six ceramic magnets, disc shaped, and glued them to the bottom of my quiver’s two tubes. Three in each, six total. Before I glued the magnets in however, I took some scraps of denim from a fucked up old pair of jeans, wrapped them around the magnets, and glued THEM to the magnets. Then I added an extra layer to the part that the arrow tips would be resting on, for added protection so they won’t blunt as badly. It also had an unintended but welcome side-effect of muffling my quiver, so my arrows don’t rattle. Then, I glued all that to the bottom piece of my quiver. And boom, my arrows are magnetized into my quiver, AND I further modified it so I can have my knife tucked into the inside of it in it’s sheath, as well as modifying the strap so I can sling it over my shoulder or clip it to the back of my hip on my belt or belt loops, or even my vest. I’ve never had any issues with it and can cram almost 40 arrows in before I start having issues. And the best part is, I can run while they’re on my hip and not have them spill out. They’ll only come out if I pull them out.

I was prepared for an explanation of how this is actually impractical, I was not at all prepared for the rest.

"So why do you have a stripper pole in your garden."

"Archery reasons."

[MartinGreywolf]

For historical settings, there is some pretty solid evidence that there were leather sheets with holes inserted into some quivers near the top that were at a 90 degree angle to arrows, almost like a perforated lid, possibly with second sheet towards the bottom of the quiver. Having these would limit how much the arrows bounced against each other during long marches (weeks, if not months) and make it easier to grab an individual arrow. Make those holes small enough ad you will not loose your arrows when upside down - something that can come up surprisingly often when you do horse archery or walk through terrain with lots of shrubs.

Another fun, educational video with such a friggin' _FLEX_ at the end 😂👌
