Yup. That's exactly what I thought was coming too. I shot a 90lb draw weight bow once and it skinned my forearm so bad that I needed to see a doctor. I've yet to let it happen again.
I was waiting for over draw on too short an arrow and having the arrow go through his left wrist, or hit the grip upon release. The actual event was pretty impressive in its own right.
I think this is less about not knowing how to use a bow (though clearly he doesn't) and more that he's trying to use a bow that he isn't strong enough for.
The bow is cranked down too much and maybe the draw length is a too long for him. He only really used his arm/shoulder to draw it back. Pinching the shoulder blades together also give a little bit of extra oomph when drawing a bow. Letting go at full draw, eh, I have no clue why.
He's more than strong enough to use that bow. If he managed to pull it back with such shit form then he would have been able to pull it back with ease if he pulled it back correctly. His friend was too busy watching him make a full of himself to tell him how to draw it though.
Like seriously compound bows are NOT for beginners. They’re terrifying to move to even from simple bows, so I can’t imagine what it’s like starting out with one. This video is the Biggest Bow fear there is. (At least to me)
After carefully watching this video far too many times, I actually have a slightly different theory. I think he actually does know how to use a bow, but this bow is just a very bad fit for him.
He definitely doesn't know how to use a bow. His stance is all wrong. You want to be standing with your left side facing the target. Keep the left arm straight and draw the string back across your chest
Yes and no. It more the fact that the draw length of the bow is not right for him causing his anchor point to drift because he has to bend his arm to compensate. He probably would have been fine if the draw length was right.
If you’ve never shot a bow (the guy in the video) they’re surprisingly tricky. When the weight is too high it is incredibly uncomfortable and unintuitive because you can’t find the proper way to draw without straining yourself.
I shoot Compound Bow and this was painful to watch, but atleast the string did came out of the cams, that would have cut everything open that is in its path
It looked like he forgot to pull the trigger of the string holder (or whatever that wrist equipment is called) and as a result started to relax his arm and the bow smacking him in the face
Start with the bow overhead, and draw as you lower it to level. His technique was pretty much as bad as you can get. The draw length looked a little too short for him (or he just never fully drew it out) and the draw weight was definitely higher than he should have been playing with in the first place
If he had it slightly longer, seeing as it's a compound, the string would kind of lock in place (not really lock but it's just much easier to hold) and the way he pulled back was painful to watch. I've done 8 ish years of archery and never seen anything that bad
Why is everybody shitting on the bowman? It’s pretty clear the guy filming is an archer who is getting his buddy to shoot for the the first time. Instead of providing guidance he just laughs at him and let’s him injure himself.
Sometimes... It blows my mind to see some people not knowing how to use simple things. I admit, prolly I'm not good at some simple tasks either, but among them, not knowing how to use a bow it's not included.
I've shot compounds like that for around 5 years, he needs to lower the fucking poundage and improve hit stance, if your right eye dominant point you toes to the right at shoulder width. Put the string to your nose, and use a fucking wrist strap for God's sake, not needed but strongly recommended
The pull on that bow was too strong for him. Stance was terrible. I Houghton for a minute he had let the arrow slip and was going to shot the ground about 5 feet in front. Learned to us about at 12. Parents made me take lessons before I could touch it.
Looks like he knows how to use it but some compound bows have hundreds of pounds to even pull back. He just wasn’t strong enough to hold it pulled back
Okay... so... as someone who has worked on bows for 5+ years and have been an archer for 20+ years I can honestly say that the dumb ass here is the person who's bow that is. My guess, just from the video, is that the owner of the bow is person filming and his buddy trying to pull a 70+ compound bow that he has never drawn before.
I shot a bow like this before without guidance ended up slapping the hell out of my forearm thought the same was going to happen to him, but this was freaking hilarious. He just folded back up.
The fact that he was scared to look in the direction of the bow probably meant that this happened before, how the fuck do you release the wrong hand though?
The bow is too heavy for him, and it looks like he was extending his arm straight out, I was thinking he was either gonna break his arm. Or have hell of a bow burn, didn't think he'd let go of the bow
I thought he was gonna get one hell of a bow burn. This is actually better.
It's a rite of passage that never gets old.
It was absolutely worth the wait!
My buddy with a much longer draw length than me gave me his compound bow to shoot.
Don't think I've ever seen someone hit their arm with a compound before lol. That would be an impressive fuckup.
i thought he was gonna get yeeted with the arrow, leaving the bow behing. like in looney toons.
I was sitting there dry firing my buddies, had no idea it was bad for it
I was really not expecting this.
I thought he was gonna hyper-extend his front elbow.
Yup. That's exactly what I thought was coming too. I shot a 90lb draw weight bow once and it skinned my forearm so bad that I needed to see a doctor. I've yet to let it happen again.
His friend is a huge asshole for letting him do this. He could have seriously fucked up his forearm.
I thought as much too. Never seen this before lol
A Bow Burn would be fine because with that pressure he could get a Bow "Holy shit my flesh is gone".
Back muscles!!
He stole it from a loony toons sketch though.
I did not expect that. Must be a Russian bow.
Ooh the forearm welt..oof
My money was on "arrow through the foot," well done OP
I was waiting for over draw on too short an arrow and having the arrow go through his left wrist, or hit the grip upon release. The actual event was pretty impressive in its own right.
I’d never wondered what the bow equivalent to trigger discipline was until seeing this video!
I was waiting for the bowstring to slap the shit out of his forearm. Though the actual outcome was just as good.
Yup. Simultaneously better and yet worse than I expected.
You mean an arrow in the knee
I used to be an adventurer like you..
Same jesus with a compound bow he’s like he didn’t kill someone by accident
I think this is less about not knowing how to use a bow (though clearly he doesn't) and more that he's trying to use a bow that he isn't strong enough for.
For some reason pulling them straight back is hard as fuck. But if you go up overhead just a bit it becomes much easier.
I mean, he let go with the wrong hand… that like bow101 right there
The bow is cranked down too much and maybe the draw length is a too long for him. He only really used his arm/shoulder to draw it back. Pinching the shoulder blades together also give a little bit of extra oomph when drawing a bow. Letting go at full draw, eh, I have no clue why.
that's what I noticed as well, big boy really overestimated himself
He's more than strong enough to use that bow. If he managed to pull it back with such shit form then he would have been able to pull it back with ease if he pulled it back correctly. His friend was too busy watching him make a full of himself to tell him how to draw it though.

After carefully watching this video far too many times, I actually have a slightly different theory. I think he actually does know how to use a bow, but this bow is just a very bad fit for him.
I remember when my compound went from kid strength to a full bow at killer draw weight.
Yeah I don’t think his pool noodle arms are fit for it.
He definitely doesn't know how to use a bow. His stance is all wrong. You want to be standing with your left side facing the target. Keep the left arm straight and draw the string back across your chest
The latter is true
Yes and no. It more the fact that the draw length of the bow is not right for him causing his anchor point to drift because he has to bend his arm to compensate. He probably would have been fine if the draw length was right.
[удалено]
I think the problem was he was trying to shoot the bow and not the arrow
It also helps that he has no technique at all
This is some looney toons shit
looneytuneslogic
Seriously. I'm no bow user, I just.... can't understand. Did he let go with the wrong hand somehow?
It was pretty goofie indeed
He managed to get a compound fracture on his nose
I see what you did there.
Almost a bulls eye
Pro tip. Dont let go of the bow.
If you let go it will land in lava
I always get excited/scared in the caves and end up clicking wrong things and throwing my sword at the mobs instead of into them
This mfer dressed like an xbox live avatar.
I knew it was over at the sight of boot cut jeans and flip flops
Wasn't expecting that. I was thinking he was going to slap the shit out of his wrist and forearm with the string.
Oh he was definitely going to. He just let go of the bow and not the arrow. He was screwed either way.
This really has it all. Suspense, action, comedy, it's all there!
Tension…
Dude shot a bow with an arrow instead an arrow with a bow. If this isnt Tom&Jerry, I dont know what is.
He tried to let go of the wrong part.
he did let go the wrong part
Obviously needed an even wider stance
Life would be boring without people like this
But emergency rooms would be a lot less crowded.
Punching yourself with a bow? Priceless
Check out Hawkeye over here.
More like blackeye
out of all the goddamn comments why did this one break me.
He’s definitely gunna shoot it in his foot…any minute…here we go…wait…this time…fuck me this is video is far too lo..fucking belter
Why was he squatting all bow legged and stuff? Also the awkward laughing of “haha this is totally not embarrassing at all-“ is priceless
I think his knowledge of archery consists entirely of half remembered scenes from Lord of the Rings and Hunger Games.
If you’ve never shot a bow (the guy in the video) they’re surprisingly tricky. When the weight is too high it is incredibly uncomfortable and unintuitive because you can’t find the proper way to draw without straining yourself.
Im sure someone else put this, but yeah I think this is more about how weak he is
The problem is he was drawing with his bicep not his back. If he had proper form he could have done it.
Robin Coould not
There wasn’t as bad a as it could have been
But I’m still dead inside either way from this
For sure expecting him to shoot himself in the foot.
Worth the wait. But just barely.
This man was plucked directly from the
I wonder what he was thinking that he should let go of the bow and not the string
I think he was so relieved to finally get it mostly drawn that he forgot which hand was doing what.
How did he fuck it up that bad? Did he forget that you let go of the string and not the bow?
Fuck dude with that terrible draw form he’s going to blow a tendon in his shoulder… my coach would’ve whooped me with an arrow shaft for that lmao
I still don’t know what happened because it’s filmed in a resolution of 3.
no arm guard, even if this guy did it right he would've got a hell of a burn
After that performance, he should take a bow.
He already took one. To the face
You almost got it.. 🤣
This could’ve been much worse lol
This is why there are level requirements for using high level bows.
My level 6 ranger tried to use a lavel 19 longbow and still walks with a limp to this day.
so that's what rolling a critical miss looks like.
FAR too much draw weight for their level of strength and/or experience.
I shoot Compound Bow and this was painful to watch, but atleast the string did came out of the cams, that would have cut everything open that is in its path
It looked like he forgot to pull the trigger of the string holder (or whatever that wrist equipment is called) and as a result started to relax his arm and the bow smacking him in the face

Next time I storm a castle remind me to leave this guy at home.
I’ve seen people struggle less with an English longbow.
Is he an alien or something? Intuition should have taken care of that if he were human.
That was hilarious…. It was obviously too heavy a pull weight for him.
he was pulling mostly with his arm when he should have also uses his back lol
What in the redneck-fuck is this?!
OP clearly also doesn't know how to use a bow, because anyone who has shot a bow before knows that the bow's draw weight is too high for that dude.
“Drop the pin, throw the grenade”
He's dyslexic. He dropped the grenade and threw the pin.
My money was on the string fucking up the plant arm. Never saw that end coming. Not in a million years.
Bro, just give up and never try again
He's not driving from the rich to give to the poor anytime soon. Keep practicing though
What just happened? Did he not let go?
He let go with the wrong hand lol
Did the bow just slip out of his hand? How does that happen? 🤷🏼♂️
What the fuck lmao
What the actual fuck?
It helps to have some upper body strength. Damn boy made out of toothpicks.
He kept spreading his feet and aiming straight down, was waiting for him to pin himself to the spot
Did my man just let go of the bow instead of the arrow? Bruh….
Wow letting go of the bow not the arrow, thats a first
This should be on
This guy foreal doesn’t have a stance between “act like I know karate” squat, and “I literally do not have knees” standing pose
did he let go of the bow and hold the string lmao?
At least the bow's ok
I was expecting him to accidentally shoot himself in the foot but this is so much better
Well, better than slitting his wrist, which is what I thought was totally gonna happen.
I was about to say "he just lacks strength" and then the guy decided to let go off the bow instead of the string
Try smacking a bowl of water
Draw weight too high?
Nice name OP
Why is everybody shitting on the bowman? It’s pretty clear the guy filming is an archer who is getting his buddy to shoot for the the first time. Instead of providing guidance he just laughs at him and let’s him injure himself.
This dude must've never seen another human shoot a bow before. Who tf takes a wide squatting stance like that?
He let go... of the bow...
Could have shorted it in 5 sec video
Sometimes... It blows my mind to see some people not knowing how to use simple things. I admit, prolly I'm not good at some simple tasks either, but among them, not knowing how to use a bow it's not included.
I've shot compounds like that for around 5 years, he needs to lower the fucking poundage and improve hit stance, if your right eye dominant point you toes to the right at shoulder width. Put the string to your nose, and use a fucking wrist strap for God's sake, not needed but strongly recommended
Dude really?
Yikes I thought it would burn his arm because of the missing fletcher but he somehow let go with the wrong hand.
Skip to like 0:38 if you wanna see it
Ending did not disappoint. And yet I was disappointed.
That’s what he gets for making us wait all long for the pay off.
Bro let go of the bow
Not nearly as bad as it could have been.
Needs another minute of me wasting my time waiting for a 3 second clip
I didn't know you could use a bow like that...
The pull on that bow was too strong for him. Stance was terrible. I Houghton for a minute he had let the arrow slip and was going to shot the ground about 5 feet in front. Learned to us about at 12. Parents made me take lessons before I could touch it.
Looks like he knows how to use it but some compound bows have hundreds of pounds to even pull back. He just wasn’t strong enough to hold it pulled back
these type of bow have a mechanic that help you to pull and hold, how he so weak?
This is me when holding bow use left hand and string using right hand.
He let go of the bow lmaooo omg this made my day
I was expecting the chord to slap his arm so hard it would bleed. Totally unexpected outcome
savevideo
That went better then I was fearing.
Did he just let go of the wrong part of the bow
Oh I thought he was gonna shoot his foot or something haha
So much more betterer than I was expek
This was like a sneeze that you keep losing but when it finally comes, it hurts
Limp wristed lol
yea, that not it
Never hold.
I was sure he was going to shoot his foot
I was expecting his left elbow to bend the wrong way. This was actually a relief.
That’s 50-60 pounds to the face, homie.
Seen this stunt on Looney tunes
he ded bruh?
He let go of the wrong end. This is basically when you try to slingshot a rubber band and hit yourself. Fun times.
That's not a Skyrim guard
Looooong setup, but quick resolution.
God out of everything bad I imagined going wrong, this was probably the least horrible
I thought he was gonna flay his arm
Okay... so... as someone who has worked on bows for 5+ years and have been an archer for 20+ years I can honestly say that the dumb ass here is the person who's bow that is. My guess, just from the video, is that the owner of the bow is person filming and his buddy trying to pull a 70+ compound bow that he has never drawn before.
Form check?
I... I'm going to bed...too much internet for 1 lifetime
I know that this bow is probably just too strong a draw but damn he looks incompetent at life
“Then I took an arrow to the knee”
Not what I thought was going to happen.
What I see is an Iresponsible owner giving someone a bow knowing it isn't safe for then to use and films them getting hurt. NOT FUNNY.
I shot a bow like this before without guidance ended up slapping the hell out of my forearm thought the same was going to happen to him, but this was freaking hilarious. He just folded back up.
He pulled the pin and threw it
I chortled! Worth watching til the end.
Okay so how in the fuck is someone this lacking of common sense?
His form is off, and he let the bow off his left hand first.
I totally expected he'd shoot himself in the foot with the amount of times he pointed it there and tried half drawing.
The fact that he was scared to look in the direction of the bow probably meant that this happened before, how the fuck do you release the wrong hand though?
I cringed so hard watching this. Just one google search could’ve changed this significantly
Worth the wait… didn’t seem like it, but totally was lol
I thought he needed to unstick his balls.
Hmmm the only time I've seen someone shooting a bow was in minecraft. Let's get a compound bow and try my best
i read this title as 'what could go worng not knowing how to bow' lol
The shapes he's pulling.
I was waiting for the punchline
Never saw anyone knock himself out with a bow before.
The bow is too heavy for him, and it looks like he was extending his arm straight out, I was thinking he was either gonna break his arm. Or have hell of a bow burn, didn't think he'd let go of the bow
Draw weight way to high
He was shooting the bow not the arrow.
