      @laurenceperkins7468 3 года назад +8

      @@jamesjellis Not really. If anything it makes it harder. Where hitting the edge of the hole in a metal axe has a chance that the arrow will deflect back toward the center, with the foam all but the most glancing blow the foam will deform and place considerably more drag on the shaft than a metal one would. Furthermore the light weight of the foam means it has less resistance to rotating, thereby closing up the hole's cross-section and catching the arrow by its fletches. Either way with a small hole that long the arrow is going to bounce off the sides quite a bit because arrows bend and wobble in flight. It would take a true master to time the wobble so that it doesn't touch all the way though.
      Of course, that's kind of the whole point of the test...

      Right, Apollo was among the gods to support the Trojans during the war.

Only when things got a little out of hand Athena and Hermes were allowed to intervene.

    Hey Niko, not sure you'll see this but it's worth a shot.
    I've done competitive recurve archery for four years and was trained by the first female gold medalist of Korea. I just wanted to say, I'm so glad to see how your form has been improving! It's clear that you've been practicing quite a lot, and I definitely see the huge improvement you've made since the early archery days of the corridor channel.
    The one thing I'd advise is that while you have like 90% of your form correct (at least in regards to Olympic style competitive recurve archery), a key component you are missing is that you should keep your anchoring hand tucked right under your chin (with your fingers touching your jawline and your lip touching the string) at full anchor. Due to the design of the modern recurve bow, this is the position at which the arrow flies along an optimal straight and consistent path every time you shoot.
    Hope you find that helpful in your shooting! Again, congrats on the huge improvement in your archery skills and I look forward to more archery content in your videos!
    (ps, feel free to hit me up in the LA area if you ever want free archery lessons!)

    • @fictionmyth
      @fictionmyth 6 лет назад +4

      I've shot a bow like 3 times, so take this as an amateur asking a question not me being a know-it-all. I was under the impression the "bring it back to X position" is more about consistency than form. Meaning that if you hold the arrow differently every time then you're not going to learn how to adjust your aim as much. The jaw/lip position is the best for distance and straightness? Again, I'm seriously just asking and trying to explain why I thought that. Thanks for your time. Recurve Bows Can't Melt Steel Arrows!

    • @windyblower1211
      @windyblower1211 6 лет назад +3

      That is assuming they are using a Olympic Recurve, which they clearly isnt. They are using traditional bow which means there is no sight (obviously) hence the "palm under jawline" wont work. The best way to aim a traditional recurve is with 3 fingers under the nocking point and have the nocking point situated on the inner corner of your eye(between ur eye and the bridge of ur nose)

    • @windyblower1211
      @windyblower1211 6 лет назад +6

They use American flatbows- very similar to English longbows however they have an arrow rest so the technique will be very similar to the bow types I shoot (I have also shot American flatbow and the technique works).

      Some scholars actually suspect that it may have been recurve, which did exist then, but was very rare. The technique to string a recurve is very different from the bows all the other lords would be used to, so only Odysseus was able to do it because he knew the technique. After all, Odysseus's greatest attribute is his intellect, not his raw strength. It is this very feature that makes hims stand out against so many other Golden Age of War heroes.

      All I see is a group of guys modifying the myth to make it many times easier (making the holes larger than they should be, making the axes out of foam not metal so the arrow does NOT deflect like it should). It is easy to look good at everything when you cheat and change the parameters of the test.

    I love the Odyssey... the entire thing reads like a story about a guy explaining to his wife why he was late getting back from the bar at night. "Check this sh*t out... we were on our way home... and these wicked hot chick's were all 'hey baby' and my boys were all 'oh yeah' and I was 'no way' so I had that whole thing to deal with... then there was this ... um... giant dude trying to fight us.. and check this... he had ONE eye..."
