@Mek_T I'm in Somalia, so there's no one after me. It's true Somalia is a very dangerous country to be in, but the trick is to be the most dangerous thing around.
@Sneaklone Yeah, but if there's any non-enemy combatants, the urge will still be there, and soon they're on the run, out of Somalia, without any idea of where they're going. They get a wig, get new clothing, burn their fingerprints off at a gas station, steal a car, remove the license plate, and just keep trying to get out of the country, but without any real idea of where they're going. Soon enough, they're deep into the Sahara, dying of thirst, and running out of food, with the car already running out of fuel long ago, just hoping to hightail it out of there and into somewhere else; an extremely remote place, let's say in Mali, but with the knowledge that they may still be found for who they used to be, and may have to run again. And that's why only truly focused people are involved in archery.
@@pepehimovic3135 Maybe because you should be playing football instead of doing archery. I mean come on, don't you ever want to kick the ball to someone face or balls, especially the referee, see how many teeth you can knock out?
My sister and I had the honor of watching Sarah play in person at the 2016 Olympics! It was amazing how she avoided the spectators in 24 out of 25 attempts! Rest in peace Veronica
The thing is, hitting the target gives positive points, while no points are awarded for killing spectators. That indicates the unfair bias the sport has towards stationary, flat targets that can't fight back.
Archery points are rewarded for self disipline, not targeting. Shoot were they want you to shoot, not were you want to shoot. At least if you want any points. Probably it relates to ticket sales somehow...
I remember back in HS when I started archery I became top of my class because I couldn’t stop myself from taking out the rest of my classmates. My teacher was so stunned at my ability to aim so well
It doesn't count as a school shooting especially if you get that win with a kill streak 20 or something ( ･ω･)☞ Personally I'll try to get double or triple kills And I will happily 360 my math teacher
When I did archery I proceeded to headshot everyone one after another but sadly I missed the last person because they were yelling so damn loud and proceeded to stumble so much. I swear If it was quieter I would have gotten 100% accuracy, but like thanks!, way to ruin my shot red hair lady.
I started shooting three years ago. My friend sent me this with no context except demanding a body count. I don’t know how to tell her I’m a mass murderer.

This is why I quit archery, you hit ONE person and people get pissy. This is why people like baseball, you hit the ball at the crowd and they LIKE it, a solid ball fired at the speed of a crossbow bolt, they try and catch it! But a stick traveling at half the speed and people shit themselves and run, madness!
I worked at a Summer Camp this past year as the Archery Instructor, and yeah: I totally get that impulse! I'm proud of myself for only nailing 4 little ones in the head this summer, and just one glance off the shoulder on some kid. And by gosh, bless those little guys, there was one 12 year old who took out at least 7 of his friends and a parent! Hell, he even nicked my head but luckily I dove out of the way. Best summer ever...
You are definitely getting invited because who else will get shot if not you? Your reflexes must have gotten rusty in the time which you have spent not running away from arrows, and thus you will be the slowest person to run, hence you will get shot. Someone, also known as you, will definitely get shot if you go to an archery event.
As someone who was on the school archery team for 6 years, the temptation to shoot everyone else's targets overrides the temptation to shoot the spectators.
This instinct is a real issue in ametuer track, too. I used to be the captain of a cross country track team and chills always raced down my spine when I heard the dreaded “I’ve never done anything like this before…”. You’d have newbies launching themselves over the course boundaries as soon as the horn went off and chasing spectators one, two, even five miles until said spectator dropped from exhaustion and it seriously messed with our ability to get school funding because we had such a high body count
I got my daughter into archery. She did pretty good. She managed to only shoot out one of my eyes and I also still have a testicle left. I think she's ready for the pros
Im a former airplane pilot since 12 years now. And i can state we face a similar problem too. Usually in the academy we are formally told to not crash into more than 1 building peer flight, but it's so hard most of us just avoid them completely to not go killing spree on those buildings. The worst part is we actually had 2 building max but after my workmate did a double strike with a collateral bonus scored 9/11, they had to nerf planes and therefore put the limit to 1 peer flight.
This is why I stopped archery, after my first 23 kills I realized it may not be the sport for me. Hopefully I’ll do better at the NRA shooting competition...

incredible, I've been doing archery for years and I still can't resist, the cleanup is so annoying every time since I can't have any witnesses. I just gave up and have small private sessions with only few people so that the clean up isn't messy and I don't have to spend so much on hitmen

When I was a kid I once played the game where you have to hit pop the balloon with the darts. I threw the dart wrong and it bounced back at me and got stuck in my chest. I think the guy got scared cause he gave me the biggest prize they had and let me keep the dart
Next: "How DO people resist choking the shit out of everyone they pass by in public?" "Lets make it harder by having a lady with a baby in a stroller pass by."
That's why her eyes don't dilate with pleasure till the crowd realizes and panics. That's when murdering people starts to feel like some glorious drug. You have the power of death. You are the destroyer. The silencer of screams.
Not gonna lie, I did that at the beginning of Oblivion to see what would happen if I killed the emperor. Turns out you can’t kill important characters.
Do the fast ones get you more points too? If not then they should fix that the fast ones are harder to hit so they should get you atleast 150 points. 100 for the kill and 50 for the speed
This is disgusting! Don't you realize you're just inflicting potentially irreversible damage to the herd's gene pool? Wildlife management 101 informs us that long-term sustainability of a given ecosystem depends on culling the _weaker_ specimens, leaving the stronger ones to maintain genetic influence. Unless your intention is to gradually weaken the population simply to make _your_ job easier, please focus on the aged, the infirm and the morbidly obese. If you're concerned about being denied the adrenaline rush that comes from picking off the more nimble individuals, here's a tip: those in wheelchairs make the most challenging targets due to the reduced target profile. Infants and children are acceptable targets *only* if the parent is holding them up as shields. Please shoot responsibly.
@DIY Sorry, you're mistaken. The Archer, just like the Stone Marten, get's into a bloody Frenzy when faced with an Overabundance of Prey. Their close Relationship to Humans (well, we know Archers are no Humans) makes them perfect for the Task. And their favored Prey, the Spectator, is quiet willing to be shot, thus gathers in large Groups. Don't blame the Archer for the usual Bodycount, everyone is fair Game. Side Note: My Uncle had Pigeons, until he left their Place open at Night. EDIT.: all surviving Spectators, are actually Newborns
I don't think your being serious but if you are I'll tell you that reaching 190 bpm is normal in well trained athletes take 220 and subtract your age and you should be able to get a heartrate of that so a 26 year old olimpian hitting 190 BPM would be very acheavible as a cyclist I have gotten to 204 BPM in the past when biking all out up a hill
Same thing happens when I drive in cities. The ppl on the sidewalk look so tempting but then I think about how long it takes to drive to that good car wash that doesn't leave any spots.
before hand you should lace the arrows with poison due to the fact that the sheer killer instinct in your blood will make you less accurate in hitting the spectators. so even if you get an arm they die
These are some strong minded people. I finally got the help I needed to put the bow down for good. I loved archery, but when my family showed up to one of the events and i killed them all in a line with a single arrow, i knew i had taken it too far and perfect opportunities like that were consuming who I was. Blessed to say I'm a changed man now!
@@jakartagamer6188 woah there buddy I'm just saying that cuz I don't watch these I never find them interesting no need to be toxic that's just my opinion here ill like this vid just for you plus I think you ur parents dint raised you well
Ugh, gatekeeping archery fandom, now? Look, I've been shot by at least three arrows in my lifetime thanks to this great sport, but I'm not gonna tell anyone they're less of a fan for running or dodging an arrow here or there. Hell, it's part of the fun! Gives the athlete a real challenge, especially if you're a pro like me and know how to bob and weave. I mean I'm not so good with only one eye, now, but it's a classic sport and everyone should be able to enjoy the thrill of losing a loved one to a master archer's well-placed arrow. Love you Pop-pop. Miss you every day.
"However, when we dressed the dummies in Despicable Me Minions merchandise, Sarah shot at them 10 out of 10 times, demonstrating her solid understanding of target prioritization. For the sake of the world's well-being, the Minions had to go, even if Sarah lost the competition as a result."
Man last time I went to a archery event made sure to bring my splash guard. Even when home with corpse as a souvenir. Since they changed the rules last year to only one corpse per fan. Can't wait to go next year I'll bring my grandma because she so slow.
Oh no, this is 100% serious Not to say your father was wrong, in fact, competitive archery begins with picturing the target as the head of a disliked person
Negative CzechCrusader. Always aim for the genitals. You get a better score for those hits! The louder the screams of pain, the better the chances of victory. Especially if 1 of your competitors has the same score as you.
This type of incident is naturally prevented by having more archers. That's why the government is taking action to prevent more accidents like this; by equipping the audience with their own bow and arrow.
Better question is: "How do cyclists resist the urge to break traffic laws and fling themselves into the path of oncoming vehicles?" The answer: They don't.
Not to mention they must also resist the urge to shoot the pieces of fruit (plus the strawberry cake, bread loaf, and electronic clock) hidden in the field.
I used to be passionate about archery, and I really wanted to try it out. I saved up all my money to buy a bow and some arrows as well as a small target. I went into my backyard, and as I’m aiming the bow I see Billy from next door watching. Of course as it was my first time I aimed at him and got him right in the forehead. Billy’s mom saw me do this and rushed over. I got her too. I’ve been on the run ever since. I miss Billy.
As an archery myself, I gotta say that we do have those impulses, but the way I found out how to deal with it was to shut my brain off. Yes, I know this sounds wierd and that it is anatomically impossible, but when I step up to the line, I let the entire world around me just disappear. It is now just me and the target. There are times where this habit becomes so trance-like that I have forgotten to breathe through the entirety of my 3 arrows. I have no idea how I am able to do it, but it works.
As a competitive rifle shooter, I can empathize with the archers. Sight alignment, trigger squeeze, breath control, and not putting your crosshairs on the guy with the noisy snack in the stands....
Because unlike archers they might face some actual retaliation, especially if they attempt to strike at some celebrity in the front row or a family member of another wrestler, alternatively someone could throw a briefcase at them?
Imacookieboi Choc chip yeah damn i accidentally shot john f kennedy man. I was going for the tires so the car could go slip into a building and the building they crashed in had a kitchen right above them and knives would fall on their heads man. Smh so sad that i got the headshot
The easiest way to keep focus is to tell your self you only have one shot and that you cant take them all out. So as long as there is no high value targets in the audience you're good.
The problem with this test is that even though the dummies simulate the urge to fire at them in the brain, you still know that they are dummies. I feel like a better test would be to actually have people there sitting on the benches.
I remember this one time my girlfriend took up archery. I played my part cheering for her from the front row and she played her game hitting a bullseye every time. on her last shot she quickly lost focus and shot me in the heart, she tried to make excuses but she was to blame, she gave our love a bad name.
It's a lot harder than you think. I once knew a guy who is legally banned from competing in professional archery tournaments in 30 different countries because he killed too many spectators.
+TheMudbrooker That's just the average, remember. Most archers only shoot between 290 and 340 spectators during their whole career, but the average is raised by the few that take very long to master their impulse control. Some of the less skilled archers are known to have hit up towards 1,600 audience members by the time they compete in top-level competitions like the Olympics. And the average professional *kill* count is only 91. Get your facts straight.
resting bpm is basically a health indicator, usually the lower it is, the more fit you are, but better don't go below 40 or sleeping for +8h might get dangerous

1:12 as an archer this is not true. We get the fastest first, then the slowest.
It doubles our K/D ratio.
yep, makes perfect sense.
allowing the slow ones to get down-range a little hones the skills
The slowest are just the bonus
Do the fast ones get you more points too? If not then they should fix that the fast ones are harder to hit so they should get you atleast 150 points. 100 for the kill and 50 for the speed
This is disgusting! Don't you realize you're just inflicting potentially irreversible damage to the herd's gene pool? Wildlife management 101 informs us that long-term sustainability of a given ecosystem depends on culling the _weaker_ specimens, leaving the stronger ones to maintain genetic influence. Unless your intention is to gradually weaken the population simply to make _your_ job easier, please focus on the aged, the infirm and the morbidly obese. If you're concerned about being denied the adrenaline rush that comes from picking off the more nimble individuals, here's a tip: those in wheelchairs make the most challenging targets due to the reduced target profile. Infants and children are acceptable targets *only* if the parent is holding them up as shields. Please shoot responsibly.
@DIY Sorry, you're mistaken. The Archer, just like the Stone Marten, get's into a bloody Frenzy when faced with an Overabundance of Prey. Their close Relationship to Humans (well, we know Archers are no Humans) makes them perfect for the Task. And their favored Prey, the Spectator, is quiet willing to be shot, thus gathers in large Groups. Don't blame the Archer for the usual Bodycount, everyone is fair Game. Side Note: My Uncle had Pigeons, until he left their Place open at Night. EDIT.: all surviving Spectators, are actually Newborns
This is fake. Professional archers don't hit a single spectator. They always go for double or triple kills.

As an archery myself, I gotta say that we do have those impulses, but the way I found out how to deal with it was to shut my brain off. Yes, I know this sounds wierd and that it is anatomically impossible, but when I step up to the line, I let the entire world around me just disappear. It is now just me and the target. There are times where this habit becomes so trance-like that I have forgotten to breathe through the entirety of my 3 arrows. I have no idea how I am able to do it, but it works.

How many spectators does the typical Olympic archer kill before they develop the ability to focus more on the target than the crowd?
ALL OF THEM
734
+TheMudbrooker That's just the average, remember. Most archers only shoot between 290 and 340 spectators during their whole career, but the average is raised by the few that take very long to master their impulse control. Some of the less skilled archers are known to have hit up towards 1,600 audience members by the time they compete in top-level competitions like the Olympics. And the average professional *kill* count is only 91. Get your facts straight.
Just the ones that "have failed this city".
