Some pretty incredible shooting of one arrow inside the other completely at the end by Kim Bo Ram. Another fellow hitting a nut suspended in the air by a string. His arrow splits the string strands. It also has high speed video of each shot. Pretty incredible stuff.

Where did you find that one Ron?

wow

[hkim823]

That is the craziest thing I've ever seen. The egg and soy bean I get. The robin hood? That's freaking incredible.

[bsu_beginner]

And that's the kinda stuff the US team is up against in 08? On a virtual home field advantage? :eek:

[Pierre Couture]

:jaw:
Same here, I'm still looking for my jaw. Wow.

[FiFi]

If i remember correctly I think that Becky Pearson did that to Michelle Ragsdale's arrow at the NAA's a few years ago, the result was that they couldn't find Beckys arrow and scoed a miss for it but when michelle pulled her arrow out they found it inside hers, I may have the names backwards but I remember all the talk about it

[Dredly]

HOLY CRAP that is some amazing shooting

[EC0003]

nice :eek:

End of the trail marked 3d shoot years ago-friend of mine centerpunched the Bigfoot with an aluminum arrow. Terry ragsdale shoots. where did Rags' arrow go? a miss? no-his ACE tubed Manny's X7

Darrell was on THAT' INCREDIBLE years ago. tried to shaft an arrow-took him a couple shots because he forgot that the "target" wasn't at 20 yards but 19.5 yards:eek:

[limbwalker]

Okay, so that's impressive shooting. But I would expect nothing less from that program. In fact, I would be surprised if they didn't have at least a handfull of archers that could repeatedly make those kind of shots.

If several hundred folks made a living as full-time professional recurve archers in the U.S., don't you think at least a few of them could do the same thing?

I would hope so.

I've watched Butch shoot 105 X's over two days at Louisville without a single miss. To me, that's equally if not more impressive than a single great shot.

Wow that was amazing. Thanks for posting that. I sent it to all the JOAD kids in our area to watch. Way cool.:shade:

We have quite a lot of experience in this kind of special shots in Italy.
Some years ago our top compound shooter Mario Ruele went on TV prime time "I bet that..." program live betting he was able to Robin Hood 2 arrows in a maximum of 3 shots. And he did it, getting good money and a lot of publicity to our sport. It was done at around 12 mt. Because of this, many in Italy have tried to replicate the shot and studied all possibilities to get to it easily. I remember in our club we passed some evenings in our training hall studiing the problem in all its aspect.
So, first of all let me say that waht you see in the movie is surely a simulation, not the reality.
The probability to do that kind of shot (the Robin Hood) at 30 mts is almost unexisting, at least in one single shot, as they try to show.
What you see is a target that they say to be at 30 mt, a shot and then the arrow entering the other. But the target at 30 is showing no holes of any kind, like as the shot was only one and no more. Also, the X10 is shown to enter inside the X7 (of course with no nock), but there is no wide angle view of the shot itself and of the target at the same time. Also, the X7 is almost parallel to the ground, and this is can favour a Robin Hood at short distance, only.
To make something like in the movie, you have to shoot at around 5 to 8 mt, were you are sure that your arrow is already straight, and it still flies on a straight line. Aiming point can be the hole on the X7 tube, and surely you will need some few sighting arrows to get it. Then, the result is granted even for medium level archers.
The other shots in the movie are routine, apart form the fact that there are no videos of the sighting arrows.

The fat archer doing the tricky shots is not Kim Bo Ram, but should be Choi Young Kwang, still holder of many of the Junior FITA world records.

I've done the arrow down the tube trick at 30m if I remember right. ACC down the back of a 23xx? aluminium (swaged end) from a compound. My arrow stopped with the fletchings around 3" short of the ali knock so arrow completely undamaged. (mine that is :) )

Total fluke of course.

[Hoytemgood]

A Pro Female Freestyle archer did here in Florida at 40 yards in a 900 and there was no damage to either arrow other then the nock was shot off the first arrow. Both were completely shootable after words.

I have also been told that the RA's might be doing something on this in the future. Appears Coach Lee has some first hand knowledge of the actual shooting of the first video and it apparently was not a hoax as some have suggested.

I don't really care either way, it is still a pretty cool video.:cool:

[baldmountain]

The first shot actually missed the bean to split the string. Still a great shot, but he missed.

The robin hood seemed VERY setup. Like they shot 15,000 arrows in order to get that one cool shot. Which is OK. Still a greate shot.

The most impressive part for me was watching the shot from the front and seeing NOTHING happening except the arrow leaving the bow. It is no wonder these guys shot such good scores.

Although the shot from the back where you see the stabilizer shows how effective the stabilizer is...

[Hoytemgood]

Nice observations. I will have to watch it again. :wink:

I love the expression on the archer's face after the robin hood. Seems genuine.

Did anybody see the Mythbusters episode on recreating the wooden arrow robin hood in the movie Robin Hood? They proved it busted with a machine shooting a compound bow. To much flexation in the arrow as well as the wood grain variations forcing the arrow out. Word is that Howard Hill did it in one take for the original Robin Hood movie. For the Costner version, they had a slew of archers try and no one could make it happen, thus the reason for the special effects.

[longbowdude]

I think the Mythbusters arrow splitting decision was that it could be done with bamboo. And that might of been the way it was done in the movie. I have split many cedar arrows but never had one go farther than 3/4 down the shaft. I still think with the correct grain wood and correct broadhead that it could be done.

I saw it and thought it was kinda funny how inconsistent their machine compound bow shot. There are a bunch of people that I can think of that can shoot better than their machine.

One day Bob Ryder(JMU archery coach) askes Braden if he could shoot a robin hood for a plaque presentation they were giving the athletic director, at James madison University. Well braden not only shoots a robin hood with two x-7 colbalt shafts, which have the tapered nock throat, but proceeds to shoot a third x-7 robin hooding it into the already two robin hooded arrows. Three arrows robinhooded.
I saw the arrows.
I believe that triple robbin hood is i believe still sitting in the athletic directors office.

Now i know he shoots a compound but these were
-not accidental
- were done on tapered nock shafts(colbalts)
- and there were THREE arrows shot into each other.

Now that is some shooting!!!!

I guess thats why he's a University world champion.

I believe this was shot @ 18 meters. But I saw the young man shoot three arrows touching each other @ 70 meters in the middle of the x ring , two ends back to back,in the individual Gold medal match in Slovakia. It was the greatest 70 meter shooting I have ever seen.

Thought he is Choi Young Kwang? That is a cool video!
