Only two ppl are known to be able to draw a 200lb Warbow. Joe Gibbs and Mark Stretton. 200lbs is obviously a monster bow but to open heavy bows you have to use a different technique that makes it easier to draw heavy. I am 45, 5”8 and 155lb (70kg) and draw a 113@28” bow on my channel. (You can check in case you think I am talking crap) Yes, it takes strength but the correct technique helps a lot for heavy bows.
Stretton has not been able to pull bows past 150lb in over 15 years. He only pulled 200lb for the 2004 Quinnes record once and that basically broke him. There are 3 other guys training with 180-195lb bows in UK nut to Joe is currently the only man with proof.
There is a reason Men in the 14-1600's had one arm almost double the size of the other one. The Archers who could draw a 200 Lb. bow were very rare. And... The longest ever flight by longbow was not done with a 200lb... They tried but could not grow an Archer from the 1400's with the DNA supplied. Longbow Archers did not all shoot 160-180 lb draws, many fileded 120- 140 lb and could effectively shoot 4 - 1 ratios against the heavier draw weights.
I thought I was the only person to notice! 😂 I even went back and re-watched his attempt. Overhead (Kyudo) draw would have helped him a bit too i think. 👍
"yeah I'm probably not the only one that wishes your dad was, so..." might me the most elite thing I've ever heard lolololol. Truck is actually sick though for real
Im sure 4 time World Champ Brian Shaw, would prefer it to be fraised "Brian Shaw or Eddie Hall" given Eddie Hall is what only won it once? "Thor" im sure would also give to differ on that one!
Eddie deadlift over 1000 lbs so I think he would be a good candidate to attempt the bow. It's one of those awkward things where a strong man might struggle where a much smaller guy that's used to pulling on a bow day in and day out will do much better. @@paddlepopinator4949
If you push with the left arm while pulling the string with the right, you’ll be using 2 sources of energy, rather than just trying to pull back 200lb with 1 arm. It’s more like 100lb pushing and 100lb pulling. I’m not expert btw, just my thoughts.
Everyone makes fun of Hawkeye. Hawkeye's bow strength in the comics is 250lbs. When Hawkeye punches Vision in the face, those punches would have killed anyone else.
10:16 also with bows that heavy you have to use a different leg position and use your back to essentially lat-pull it into position. It’s a technique issue, I’ve seen smaller guys draw this
The hunting videos are good but the 200 lb bow videos are hilarious. Of seen 2 guys draw 200, Joe Gibbs being one. I forgot the name of the other but he was English also.
It’s not a compound. Draw in a circular motion. Start up high and bring the bow closer to you. Use both arms to pull it back and your back. Use leather finger tabs
They had no choice, the British Crown passed a law that all British yomen between certain ages were required to spend a certain amount of hours at the public target butts practicing with the longbow.The Japenese longbow had a considerably lighter draw weight yet cast a longer and heavier arrow and the below center Grip and parabolic bends in the limbs allowed used by mounted warriors. The laminate construction of the limbs allowed superior performance and speed
I hate to say it but you are using the totally incorrect for to try and pull the bow. It should be held way above the shoulders and drawn down using the larger back muscles. Look it up in old historic texts or even on RUclips. There is a smaller Asian guy that's shoots old school 160-180 war bows. It's all form at this poundage
i was already surprised you were able to string it indeed, btw check Joe Gibbs channel he is able to draw over 200lb bows but his form is not what you use to see in everydays archers so perhaps the secret is in a different pulling technic
Josh-Too Funny asking another guy ....Is It In ??? Then getting the worst case of Hemroids trying to pull a 200lb Bow , Keep trying my friend like learning to ride a bike you will get it Eventually !!!
Joe Gibbs of Gibbs Archery had already done that .. 210lb to be precise, and he's not a body builder, he's an archer. As much technique as strength and your technique is all wrong in every department.
Great video. War Bow is a beast. The draw technique is not the standard rotational or linear draw. Look for videos. It involves the legs and back. look forward to seeing the next installment
Yo i dont know how i came across this video nor do i think i care much for this kind of content (no offence just not my jam) but iam sure as hell liking and subbing for the editing! Great vid, you made someone like me enjoy it and want to watch more of your stuff
Well I think I've been drawing wrong this whole time. As I raise the bow, I push the bow as I pull the string so when I reach to aim I'm already drawn.
How did your rotator cuff not tear doing that, that rough? I nearly tore my rotator cuff or damaged my ac joint drawing my bow with my draw shoulder slightly raised 😂 I’d need surgery doing what you just did
the technique is so wrong on this longbows like that should be drawn from your breast muscle not from your shoulders. its just dangerous to do it with the wrong technique
Hold the bow towards the sky not straight up but almost and then when u pull you pulling with gravity. Gravity has nothing to do with it but yeah it might be a tad bit easier
It must be that time of the month huh girlie man? 😂 kidding haha! I thought my 80lb bow was wild. You could used that as a Leafspring on you widdle waptor lmao!
Just a suggestion. Eye protection is not enough. In my opinion, until you really ARE able to draw that thing,, I suggest you wear what the football players wear! I think Sarah would agree! 🏹🏹
I haven’t seen the video yet but I’m gonna guess that you struggle with it just a bit. I’m glad that you got one- after the video showing that one I figured you would have one soon.
Bring in Eddie hall world’s strongest man!!!
Hey Josh get Joe Gibbs he can pull 210 pounds
He would come do it, too! He drove a tank over someone's car, lol he would gladly try to pull it back!
It’s interesting how different the strength needed to pull a heavy weight bow differs from gym strength
Eddie couldn't pull it either!. I know he's strong as hell! But he wouldn't. After some training yes
And Brain Shaw
Joe Gibbs, Gibbs Archery on RUclips. Holds the world record for English Warbow draw.
Coach Joe Gibbs is way to old to pull that bow back 😆
@@matevans2122 You realize he still actively shoots a 210, and I think even a 240, right?
@@Glorfindel_117 there's an old american football coach named joe gibbs, which was the joke/confusion.
Incorrect. @@Glorfindel_117
Joe Gibbs is a beast...
Hi Josh, good effort!!. 👍 I can always help you with technique! If you like?. 😊
His form was a little rough 😂

Joe Gibbs and Mark Stretton.

The Arnold clips saying you’re a girly man 😂💀
😂
I fucking love the fact that he is leaning into the fact of not being able to pull it back, makes such fun content
Joe Gibbs is the only human who can do it
Buy a bunch of bows starting at like 125lbs up to 180+ and build up to it. You know, like weight training.
Hi, check out Joe Gibbs from England on his channel he draws a 210lb warbow
can't wait to see the giant whitetails this upcoming season
We need a whole episode of Josh “clapping back” at RUclips comments
This is hilarious!
😂😂😂
Ok, now to answer your question, there is British dude whose name is Joe Gibbs. I think he can pull it.
*Bowmar Bowhunting* Big fun fellas, thanks for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

You better go do lift run shoot with Cam and bring it along with ya😂
Lmao the editing in these vids are right on 😂🔥
Joe Gibbs, Mark Stretton both drew 200+ Pounds at some point.
“It’s so humbling” 😂
Gibbs archery or historical weapons
THE MOMENT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MEN 🙏🏾💙
jujimufu would be a fun collab video, haha
Was the bow upside down on the intro? It looks like the arrow pass was on the bottom instead of the top where it should be.
I thought I was the only person to notice! 😂 I even went back and re-watched his attempt. Overhead (Kyudo) draw would have helped him a bit too i think. 👍
@@paulgw101 if he’d learn how to sit into it he might’ve gotten closer to drawing it for sure.
I honestly had full faith you were going to be able too! I was pretty surprised! Hopefully one day💪
"yeah I'm probably not the only one that wishes your dad was, so..." might me the most elite thing I've ever heard lolololol. Truck is actually sick though for real
Bowman is going down as the greatest ever
A Collaboration with Eddie Hall, Brian Shaw, and Robert Oberst would make an awesome video
Joe Gibbs and Jack from Historical Weapons both have a good chance
The scene of a wire going through everyone's torso on the ship is from a movie called Ghost Ship! Enjoy!
loosens draw string. no longer 200lb bow
First time at the channel. That was hilarious. I was waiting for a "you know, I should probably be wearing sleeves for this" 😂😂
Maybe look into seeing if Eddie Hall or Brian Shaw would be willing to try.
Im sure 4 time World Champ Brian Shaw, would prefer it to be fraised "Brian Shaw or Eddie Hall" given Eddie Hall is what only won it once? "Thor" im sure would also give to differ on that one!
But yes, would be really great to see!!!

I don’t know how you do it all of your videos are fantastic!
hahah this editing is too much!😂😂😂😂

I’m not expert btw, just my thoughts.
Lol comical 😂, u should put a scale on it !! It might be more than 200lbs 😮
Pulling a 200 pound bow is crazy but even crazier is the guy who built it secretly building it to a much higher draw weight
Playing good lookin while he’s spinning is crazy
The meme edits are killers 😂
Back in the day what type of bows did they use and how heavy were they?
Everyone makes fun of Hawkeye. Hawkeye's bow strength in the comics is 250lbs. When Hawkeye punches Vision in the face, those punches would have killed anyone else.
The 200lb bow but goodness that "beard" shave job is.
Thanks for your content.

Mark Stretton :)
Props for getting the bow and giving it the gusto. Big bows like this are crazy!
Hey buddy I bet Joe from Gibbs archery could draw that bow I have seen him draw a 190pound long bow the looks identical to you 200+ pound beastie
It’s not a compound. Draw in a circular motion. Start up high and bring the bow closer to you. Use both arms to pull it back and your back. Use leather finger tabs
Bro don't feel bad. English longbowmen practiced with bows so frequently from such an early age that they literally had different skeletons.
They had no choice, the British Crown passed a law that all British yomen between certain ages were required to spend a certain amount of hours at the public target butts practicing with the longbow.The Japenese longbow had a considerably lighter draw weight yet cast a longer and heavier arrow and the below center Grip and parabolic bends in the limbs allowed

What movie was that wire cut scene from?

I love this stuff, you josh, all of you guys!👌🏻
What kind of arrow would this use? Tungsten rods?
I never expected this to be the reason josh ended up taking gear
Hafthor needs this challenge.
Look at the Gibbs archery channel he pulls back a 200lb. Title of video is 170lb man pulls back 200 lb bow
Eddie Hall, Brian Shaw, hafthor "thor", Martin Ford.. You pick!
Josh-Too Funny asking another guy ....Is It In ??? Then getting the worst case of Hemroids trying to pull a 200lb Bow , Keep trying my friend like learning to ride a bike you will get it Eventually !!!
Finally ive been waiting
Something tells me your draw weight may be too heavy. Have you tried lowering it?
Pretty sure the people in the past who could use these things in battle had a special technique to pull something that heavy no clue if that's true
Joe Gibbs of Gibbs Archery had already done that .. 210lb to be precise, and he's not a body builder, he's an archer. As much technique as strength and your technique is all wrong in every department.
Suddenly Joe Gibbs weird looking draw makes total sense.
so is this a modern thing or were there warbows back in the olden days that were that heavy ?
It’s not a compound. Draw in a circular motion. Start up high and bring the bow closer to you. Use both arms to pull it back and your back
Good job! Now you have to string and unstring it every time 😂 good call on tabs and warmup wrist brace hehe
I watched this 3 part series
lol LOVED it - traditional archer here
Hafthor Bjornsson. Definitely need a Viking for this💪🏹
I second on this
Eddie Hall, that man has an entire friend group on youtube of strongmen that would be able to do it!
Petition for josh to grow the stash
Give Eddie Hall a call
Your editor is great lmao
Great video. War Bow is a beast. The draw technique is not the standard rotational or linear draw. Look for videos. It involves the legs and back. look forward to seeing the next installment
Whatever you do don’t get the liver king to do it. He’ll pop a blood vessel 😂
Apparently you have to use a certain stance, search up a short called "the secret of pulling a warbow"
Joe pulled that bow - but then he shat himself and severed multiple nerve endings in his brain
The editor had to much fun with this one😂
Get Joe Gibbs. He did draw a 210 pounds war bow and routinely uses 160 lbs warbow.
Yo i dont know how i came across this video nor do i think i care much for this kind of content (no offence just not my jam) but iam sure as hell liking and subbing for the editing! Great vid, you made someone like me enjoy it and want to watch more of your stuff
Well I think I've been drawing wrong this whole time. As I raise the bow, I push the bow as I pull the string so when I reach to aim I'm already drawn.
Now you know you've been warming up all morning previous to this video hahahahahaha 😂😉
RUclipsr Historical Weapons can probably pull it back.
I wish i could. I can pull back 90 lbs pretty easy but 200 is insane not gonna lie 😅. Thanks for the content! Love it!
These edits are peeeaaaakk💀💀
How did your rotator cuff not tear doing that, that rough? I nearly tore my rotator cuff or damaged my ac joint drawing my bow with my draw shoulder slightly raised 😂 I’d need surgery doing what you just did
Dead as soon as the “narrator starts”
Bet that 5 year old never gets grounded, she is huge
the technique is so wrong on this longbows like that should be drawn from your breast muscle not from your shoulders. its just dangerous to do it with the wrong technique
Hold the bow towards the sky not straight up but almost and then when u pull you pulling with gravity. Gravity has nothing to do with it but yeah it might be a tad bit easier
Technique needs a bit of work.
It’s just your technique point the bow to the ceiling and use both arms, push and pull
It must be that time of the month huh girlie man? 😂 kidding haha! I thought my 80lb bow was wild. You could used that as a Leafspring on you widdle waptor lmao!
Josh i ordered beats broadheads and the order got cancelled all of a sudden. Whats up with that?
Wondering how many miles per second that thing would fire an arrow.
Just a suggestion. Eye protection is not enough. In my opinion, until you really ARE able to draw that thing,, I suggest you wear what the football players wear! I think Sarah would agree! 🏹🏹
human that can shoot a 200 lb Longbow Joe Gibbs
Dash Render should be able to do it. Love your videos
I think you got the strength but lacking proper technique.
Joe Gibbs incoming.
These edits are funny 😂
First few seconds and I saw a 200+ lb bow about to be pulled by three fingers no glove...and I thought ouch.
I haven’t seen the video yet but I’m gonna guess that you struggle with it just a bit. I’m glad that you got one- after the video showing that one I figured you would have one soon.
