How Far Can a Bow & Arrow Kill? IV8888 Explores with a Recurve Blow
In a quick break from your regular powder-powered entertainment, IraqiVeteran explores how far a bow and arrow can kill. With assistance of Scott from WAC outdoors, Eric explores what an arrow can do.
Rather than just shoot targets from a distance, Scott and Eric put an arrow through ballistics gel and “Ballistics Bob”. The arrow only gets 5″ of gel (which they discuss compared to real flesh during hunting which penetrated 16″ of Hog).
How far (prior to watching the video) did you think the arrow would kill?

Well, arrows were killing at around 300 yards at Agincourt.
Now this was shooting flights of arrows at massed troops, but they were still dying by the numbers.
So why don't you guys just change TFB's name to "We're Gonna Link To IraqVet8888's Garbage Blog"?
