The problem with “stealth archery”

Pretty badass “erm, actually”

The medieval equivalent of holding a gun sideways.

"...in real life" brother I would just get a gun

So stealth archery is more "crouch and hope" than "sneak and shoot"? 😂 Love the breakdown!

Nailed it on hard mode

Should give @Blumineck1 credit for this.

Use a crossbow Problem solved

He sucks as a stealth archer I could see him the whole time.

It's not a real thing! Hello!

Biomechanics of reality vs games always interesting stuff.

You have to actually be stealth. 😭😭

Beats archers every time

You should prolly credit the original maker!

I love this guy's videos. Very interesting stuff, even if it does take some of the fun out of "cool" weapons/combat (like fighting with two swords).

This was actually pretty informative and demonstrative as to the reasons why stealth archery in games isn't that logical. 5/7 would watch again.

No they did not you fucking liar.

Counter point: crossbow

I could see it with that type of bow but short bows it should work fine

The bonus comes from being able to place your arrow precisely where you want it because the target is unaware. The less draw weight is offset by the precision aspect - is the general idea behind that.

@iamnobody1961 You people in England better learn archery sword ⚔️and knife fighting. Mace and battle axe 🪓 or YOURE all dead there!Your government has disarmed you and invited in millions of Islamic savages that say they are going to kill You. THEYVE burned your churches and destroyed you!!

Stealth archery was really just ambushing your target from a normal standing position, not turning your bow sideways like a medieval gangsta and losing both accuracy and penetration power. And that twisty nonsense at the end would result in a massive accuracy dropoff.

Bows were sprung & strung to fit strength, plus training was a necessity in those days, A 12/13 year old child back then would destroy this mans pull strength, they were birthed to protect & provide, something far away from what we are today.

someone should mod the animations to look like that, it would be pretty funny

The historically accurate one is SO much better

hey pretty dick move not to credit blumineck for this

Now, they could have gone with that stance because that is cooler to look at, but as an FPS game, it might just look janky.

Nah, can't aim nearly as well behind your neck.

"Does less damage" That's why you take Deadly Aim ya dingus. :D

How did this British man get a hold of such a dangerous weapon?!?!

Stealth crossbows it is
