What a surprise release looks like at 4000 frames per second

Demonstration of what a "surprise release" looks like. There will be no movement detectable in the moments before the release, and the arrow will be well in front of the bow long before the archer has any chance to make any movement other than recoiling from the sudden loss of tension when the release hook detaches from the bowstring.
