So amazing feats of juggling are only 3 stars? Maybe this won't seem as amazing in 10 years when a bunch of what are now kids have mastered this and made a hybrid form of freestyle parkour ghost ride the arrow archery, but he deserves a 5 right now.

Well... Maybe it's before your time EH, but there was a problem with hacky sack juggling ultimate frisbee people here for a while.

I'm trippin

meh, amazing feats of skill are so blase. i see dudes shooting the head off bears while holding a bow with their foot, like, *ALL* the time.

one star. wake me up when he does something interesting.

He's clearly getting enough velocity and accuracy on his shots to make for an effective weapon, even with the light draw on that bow.

The narration and the jumping may be kind of dumb, but I think he adequately argues his thesis that this is the proper draw and fire technique for a military archer, and that's interesting.

On horseback.

on stilts

Might be hard to get a horse to wear stilts.

Don't forget to make a video!

Six feet of 1" PVC pipe, five feet of parachute cord (plus some extra length for making loops to attach to the PVC pipe), and you've got a cheap-ass bow that's probably 30-35 pounds. Nobody's going to accuse you of having precision shooting equipment, but it's sufficient for farting around.

His specialty is bows, not throwing. We need to assemble an all-Euro team of adventurers who go around and kick ass: Lars from Denmark (bow), Jörg from Germany (slingshot), and so on.

Hey, that's actually a really great idea, Bort! Lars and Jorg would be a perfect addition to the Chop Gear team: Lindybeige, Schola, and Skallagrim. Lloyd, Schola, and Skall are all melee guys, so they'll need a few ranged attackers to round out their adventuring party.

That leaves one spot left for a party healer. Who should it be?

Winny Puuh, perhaps? Casting time is pretty long but they can defy gravity and shit, and they've got a Baltic pre-Christian feel to them:

Historical trivia: the last place in Europe to go Christian was the Baltic, with their own special crusades from the late 1100s to the 1300s. Basically the events from "The Lion in Winter" thru "Braveheart" are happening over in Britain, while in Eastern Europe they're still trying to convert pagans.

Team leader will be Glowstick the Barbarian.

You'd have to find some sort of Medieval medicine geek, which is hard, because the only people interested in Medieval medicine anymore are the holistic medicine nutjobs, and they usually have no respect for history, preferring instead to bury all the interesting, historically-relevant bits underneath their stupid New Age granola nonsense.

There is already a half assembled USA team in the cold steel meat slicer boys that they can go up against. Throw in that Korean archer and that uber-mental Samurai guy.

Also there are quite a few Roman siege weapons experts in The Old Country.
