He was mansplaining. That will do it every time.
cowpiefatty
I started cringing thinking he was going to dry fire it and it was going to shatter.
ElBivo
Those girls look a little old for him
BushiestCream
You could say he took a bow to the face

Why would you do this...
v never dry shoot a bow. And I'm sure you are not supposed to put your head in either
Rekato
True archers hold the arrow in the right side (or left if you are left handed)
Fossilnet
I cringed the entire time watching as a compound Archer why I was waiting for an accedental release or a broken bow
TheFreezingSwede
As a recurve archer i was cringing about the whole 5 fingers on the string closed fist style draw.
ionlyspeakthetruth
And he's the only one strong enough to pull it open again!

Why is nobody talking about the second girls hair what the fuck is going on there

I think she just needs bangs. She has a "five-head."

Did she still have the safety on?

Don't dry fire a bow stupid, You will break it and send fiberglass into your eyes.

Play stupid games.... win stupid prizes

He used his head to prevent a dry fire, good for him.

Dat muscular arm is hot
OlliHeisenberg
Dry firing a compound bow. Cringe
LBot1
I was like, n00b don't dry fire, don't dry fire
BeardsleyMcTurbanhead
Darwin Is really having a good day today.
CorneliusCornwall
Why is dry firing (think thats what you call it) damaging to the bow but with an arrow it's ok?
TheFreezingSwede
All the power that normally pushen the arrow goes out into the limbs and shatter them and with compound bows cams and stuff go everywhere.
TheFreezingSwede
Source: seen it happen quite a few times.
Bluesaxplayer
Because all of of the energy that would have gone into the arrow goes back into the bow. It causes the bow to damage itself
Xaukael
Your title had me convinced that an arm was going to fucking snap and I was involuntary cringing the whole damn gif
HighrockTendales
Me too. Which was weird as it is quite a muscular arm for a young lady
EatingMudIsMyHobby
I don't know the draw weight of that bow but if she seems quite fit, soshe could have been able to draw the bow with the correct technique.
Residualfail
Shit he might be dead but just doesn't know it yet. That small post in the middle would go right into his temple!
ZanarkandAbes
First thing my archery teacher taught us was how dangerous that piece of metal could be. Spooked me into staying with the recurve bows.
Klingon00
I think he got lucky and the post went behind his head.
jjw9
That post is for the bowstring guide. Normally, it doesn’t protrude past the resting bowstring so the string should stop the bow and post
jjw9
from making a hole in his head. Ironically, his bow hand is in proper form (open, not death gripping the bow). However, you can tell the
jjw9
draw weight is too much for his strength level. That, combined w/ moving the bow away from his body cause him to lose control of the bow ..
jjw9
a wrist sling or lanyard can help protect against the bow going “full recoil” if the bow hand slips.
snowfork
Worth a run through concussion protocol and maybe a head ct
Cheomesh
This is why healthcare costs so much.
GilderoyPopDropNLockart
Jesus Christ we scan everyone's head these days...sorry had a busy night last night.
ZanarkandAbes
Busy night? Might need a scan to make sure you're okay.
VodkaReindeer
Is there wear and tear on the machine?
GilderoyPopDropNLockart
Oh yea just like any thing else, but when a facility buys a scanner there are a lot of maintenance agreements built in preventive and other

Not really into bald guys especially dumb ones like that

She's got guns too!
BeerBatteredandBold
She do!
MaplePhoenix
Why? Why would you even do that?!
LurkMasterP
Must seize the opportunity to mansplain to a couple of cuties, obviously.
MaplePhoenix
Oh, I get that part, but why put you head in the middle of it?
LurkMasterP
I guess just pick the part of your body you're not using...

Glad i dug this gem out of the replies.
2strokeChase
First of all, get a release. Makes life much easier. Second, he's a fucking idiot.
sunyudai
Well, I tried, but your mom is busy.
sunyudai
Sorry. I now feel 12.
Xenomagus
Release is dependent on the archer. I personally don’t use them but I have nothing against them. I just enjoy the that feeling of release.
ohnoofcourseyourright
What was her even trying to show? That it's easy to hold once in position? Idk much about bows.
2strokeChase
I am like 12% sure captain dipshit was showing how easy it was to hold at full draw. Also, how fucking dumb he can be.
iiiiioooooo
Really? I thought first would be don't put your head in it.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
The only time I've been bow hunting my release kicked Early and dropped the arrow a few feet in front of me.
somtin
Loop style releases are notorious for that unless you keep constant pressure from lock to pull. Also errant fingers will do you in too.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
The deer looked at me like I was a moron, and then walked, not ran, away.
FrozenFoodGuy
Hahaha i love how sassy some animals can be!
2strokeChase
Haha. What style? You have to keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready.
About42Ninjas
Pretty sound advice about literally everything
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
It caught my glove.
jjw9
He’ll be fine. Good thing his head buffered things - releasing the bowstring w/o arrow can wreck the bow. Note how his bow hand is open ..
jjw9
which is proper form. However, that can cause one to lose control of the bow when moving the bow away from the body — like he did
DinoSuarez
Third, don't pull back a compound bow without an arrow nocked or you're going to seriously damage it, maybe cause it to explode
akducks2
I don't know anyone who hasn't had bow slip pulling it back. That's why an arrow is always in it and you don't point it up in the air.
turtlepower42
Nah bra... You just don't dry fire it, pulling it back is fine
DinoSuarez
Yeah that's what I meant, you might accidentally dry fire it without an arrow on there
DinoSuarez
Alright fuck it, Edward Macaroni Fork
twoinchdestroyer
as a traditional archer, releases are for pussies
jjw9
The guy in the vid has too many fingers on the bow string, which means the draw weight is too high for his strength level, and that’s ...
jjw9
what ultimately caused the failure he experienced.
BangBangSilver
As a successful archer, no one cares.
MoonbuttTheGreat
Actually you need a release for a compound. If you use fingers and the string is slightly bent laterally, the string could come off the cams
Xenomagus
Have never had that happen. Ever.
ILoveSportsBras
Shooting compound for 20+ years. Used a release less than 10 times. My opinion is they just don't suit me personally.
MoonbuttTheGreat
So long as you don't twist the string, it's fine (sounds like you know what your doing lol) but I don't recommend it for new shooters :p
SwitchPup
Learn to do it the hard way first, and you'll always be able to do it the easy way later. Like learning to drive on a stick shift.
2strokeChase
As a non-traditional archer. For a compound bow you wouldn't use a release?
jjw9
It depends on your hand strength in relation to your draw weight. Most releases transfer the force to the wrist (taking strain off the ...
jjw9
fingers). Less strain on the fingers allows for a cleaner release. However, you still have to be careful as releases for competitive ...
jjw9
archers (shooting targets at matches) can have hair trigger releases that are prone to accidental discharges. Also, cheaper releases will
twoinchdestroyer
nah, i would i just joke about it being less difficult than using a finger release
FreddyBarnsniffer
2strokeChase
I have actually pulled my compound back without a release. It was real sketchy.
Thatoneguywithacreativeusername
Back in the day they didn't have a release..
reallyjuststandinghere
My compound doesn't have a release, but then it is almost 40 years old.
Azerai
Compounds aren't traditional tho, seems silly not using fun toys for that reason alone
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
See that's the difference, I think. I'm a sightless naked recurve archer, no silly gadgets or anything, I don't think of bows as "toys."
doombuddy
props
Bergeldergle
No silly gadgets? So no tracking arrows, explosive arrows, EMP arrows,tazer arrows, scatter arrows...what kind of superhero are you???
ziccu
you are forgetting the boxing glove arrow, that is the most important of all
nombre11
I don't know what any of this means
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Sorry... sightless = no sights | naked = no counter-weights or miscellaneous bits | recurve bow is
OfficialTacoInspector
sightless recurve archers are the snobs of the archery world... i prefer olympic style recurve., but compounds are fun too.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
It's like PC vs consoles. I just prefer the PC because you can do more with it, the console is only applicable in limited circumstances.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Also that guy picked it up by the string, I fucken hate that. New shooters always invest lots of money before getting to know things.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
btw I'm really friendly in real life, when I'm on the field or out bush, and last night's snobby comment was because I was tired as fuck.
InsidiousExperimental
To anyone who doesn't know what you just said, you sound like a blind nudist with a longbow.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
What if I am one, got a problem with that? Blind nudist longbowmen pride!
Shayceror
I have a longbow and have to wear contacts...
