As a modern archer (Olympic recurve) you did an awesome job on this topic. Everything relates directly to modern archery Thank You!

With MODERN archery they have a measurement called "Spine Weight" which refers to the strength of the arrows shaft. The purpose of having the correct spine weight, in relation to the poundage of your bow, is to help the arrow fly true'er through the air. When you fire an arrow, the force of the string bends the arrow, as Lindy described, and indeed if the Spine weight is too light, the arrow could break, BUT that is not the primary function of a correctly weighted arrow (shaft). Because of the force on the back end of the arrow, the arrow bends, and it will continue to bend back and forth throughout it's flight, this effect lessens as the arrow fly's. BUT, if the spine weight is to low, or to high for that matter, the arrow will not have straighten out before it hits its target, resulting in the arrow not hitting its target straight on, but rather hitting its target on an angle. resulting in less penetration. if the arrow is correctly "weighted" for the bow, the arrow should hit its targed straight on, achieving maximum penetration. SO in conclusion, the thickness of medieval arrows, was not just to prevent snapping the arrows, but rather to ensure a clean, direct and straight, hit on the target.

arrow thickness is for penetration not for withstanding the rather gentle force of a bowstring releasing. You can shoot a thin arrow at something easily but what does it do when it hits something hard, the shaft breaks off the head losing the majority of its energy. a thicker shaft is so when the arrow hits its target it doesn't break but instead transfers all its energy to the target.

Good video. I watched this channel ages ago (and promptly queued two dozen or so more of Lindy's video's), and now I find that it loses very little in da capo. He eloquently conveys ideas and concepts previously foreign to the great majority of us, and those are generally well-considered and logical. The ideas and concepts, that is, not the majority of us. :) Once I had exhausted his supply of videos that held my interest, I didn't visit the site for years, though I never forgot. I noticed that whenever I came across something that might have been covered by Lindy (you know the kind of thing), I found myself considering points he had brought to my attention in almost every case. A week or so ago, I revisited this channel, and was pleased to see it still active and receiving regular updates from the man in beige. I immediately subscribed and set to watching the new videos. And now I find myself relentlessly drawn to re-watch the stuff I had already been through years ago. Annoyingly, this has gotten in the way of other things I want to do. Well done, Lindy! Many of his suggestions have a sort of irresistible logic about them, making them easy to trust. Of course, that's not to say he's always correct (as the comment section is often quick to remind him), but he does seem to hit the mark more often than not, and I have come to rely on him to keep me grounded and to help me remember to consider the simple practicalities of everyday life when topics of war and bloodletting are broached. Thank you, Lindybeige. Good health and all that, keep it up.

I only have 1 visible scar, and it was because i used a lighter arrow on a heavier bow. Be careful with bows, they're not toys. Arrows breaking when firing can go in any direction; in my case, through my hand

I like on your are surprised by your own demonstration. " ooh I'm amazed it actually moved " " oh it broke a lot more easily that I thought ! "

Lloyd is the perfect representation of how an englishman looks like in my head.

You've left out one or two important stress factors! As the archer draws the bow, his fingers impart some twist on the string which effectively pre-loads the back or notch end of the arrow, at full draw, such that it wants to untwist against the firmly fitting notch which for a righhanded archer is in a counter clockwise direction. This has the effect of applying a torque to the arrow which lies partly on the hand of the archer and resting against the left side of the bow stave. The force increases the bend force along the stave as does the fact that the arrow isn't being released straight but at an angle equal to the tangent(-1) of half the bow stave thickness to the length of draw. The arrow upon release with the twist imparted and the moment of force due to inertia wants to bend itself around the bow stave upon release before straightening in flight. This doesn't occur as much in some centre or "through shot " bows that release the arrow in a straight line and release aids are used here to prevent the string twisting under the fingers which otherwise could throw the arrow off centre. Now if the arrow is TOO stiff then it bends less around the bow and for a right handed shooter will deflect over to the left. If it is not stiff enough then it will not fully stabilise in flight but "wobble" and initially tend to the right or even snap with the stresses. Arrows do in fact have to be graded by stiffness for this reason by both the draw weight of the bow and by the length of draw...simple physics can be used but in medievel times archers, fletchers and bowyers all knew what grade of arrow was needed. The barrelling thickness and length may also have been determined by the type of arrowhead being fitted. The heavier the head the greater the initial inertial moment at release, the greater the force alplied and the thiccker and stiffer the arrow stave needed to be. These days we use Port Orford Cedar for wooden staves. Back then ash was used with harder timber sometimes spliced in nearer the tip to improve strength and lessen the chances of the stave breaking near the tip upon impact especially with armour. The thought and knowledge and skill of these medievel fletchers and makers of arrow blanks was fabulous. That's right, I used the word " Fabulous" because I'm English!

I don't know what you do for a living lindybeige, but I sincerely hope you are a teacher of some kind. You have a wonderful way of educating.

yeah elastic forces would still work, if you were in earth orbit though i doubt the arrow would achieve escape velocity and most likely would eventually fall or stay in orbit as dangerous space garbage. i can just imagine a future satellite being impaled by a rogue arrow fired decades prior lol

+raglanheuser The main problem is launching - no atmosphere means no aerodynamic stabilisation, so the slightest bit of spin and you're as likely to hit with the middle of the arrow as with either end. In orbit, things are even worse - over time, tidal forces would tend to leave the arrow pointing straight up and down, so eventually anything it orbits into will be hit lengthways rather than point-first...

"Yes, I call it an 'adjustable spanner' because I am British." Made me laugh out loud, as an American.

'It's all a part of growing up and being British.' - Monty Python. Only just discovered your existence last week. Been having a lot of fun watching, some of, your videos since then. Thank you. Keep it up!

I often rewatch so many of Lindy's videos. Not because I don't get the information the first time but rather...the way he expains things is so damn enjoyable!!! A piece of wood that would rather stay still frankly.

Why is this American man saying spanner instead of wrench and spelling "lever" like a Canadian?

Patrik Pålsson Wonder why it's called a key to begin with, it makes no sense XD

The proper term to use for the ping-pong ball vs. stone example (yes, I said 'proper' and 'stone'... because you're British) is density, which is mass/volume.

"Because a man who could throw a bow that far would be a fearsome opponent" Best post video musing to date. Kudos Lloyd.

I always love your end cards, they're so funny, keep up the good work.

Silly Lindy, a fearsome opponent is one who could throw a pommel that far, you would never be safe in battle against him.

If you ever do that again, please wear eye protection!

3:08 It looks like he didn't expect it to break but recovered perfectly.

I especially liked the text at the end. "A man who could throw a bow that far..." :)

I bet Ygritte would be able to throw a longbow that far...

6:57 "OW" hahahaha

A masterful exposition. Some quite complex ideas very well explained. Nice.

Now I'm going to need to set up for archery. Great demonstration.

Lindybeige YOU PROMISED more videos!

Lindybeige, please forgive me this quite private question, but is there a possibility that you are british?

You better not be french. You might get an arrow as an answer (I hear he is quite the shot with bows and longbows).

I'm here because I use a longbow in my Dungeons and Dragons game and I wanted to study a little bit to play more accurately, so the reason might be silly... But I'm honestly amazed and speechless. I feel enlightened by your knowledge. 🙌 Great video! Cheers from Italy! 😊

I just recently staryed watching the videos you post. I quite enjoy them. With each video I am more and more curious about the collection of photos on your wall.

A rock is a stone, but a stone isn't a rock. This isn't just a British way of calling them, it's the proper definitions of the words. Rock means A *large* rugged mass of hard mineral material or stone. While a stone is just any sized mass of hard mineral material.

The point might've been about how big a stone a rock is for Americans. I'm an American, and we call almost any stone, including pebbles, on occasion, rocks.

"when you want to shoot a frenchman who's not very far away, you might want to clonk him with a really heavy stick." sound advice from lindy :D :D :D

Speaking personally as an American who pronounces leverage differently and has another word for spanner wrench, I have this to say: we here find your diction quite charming. absolutely perfect for speaking authoritatively on medieval history!

I realize I'm very late to the party here, but thank you so much for getting this right. I've seen so many people who THINK they understand basic ballistics come to all the wrong conclusions about both penetration and distance and also mixing up momentum and energy and whatnot, but this is just bloody brilliant. Good job.

About the ping pong ball vs. the stone: Just want to clear something up - there is not more air resistance on the ping pong ball, it's just that the same amount of force on both objects will have a greater effect on the lighter object. The air resistance on both objects is the same, but Newton's second law is the thing at work here.

No. The ping pong ball initially goes faster, which means that it will have even more force on it.

@joelgabriel3093

You are correct that more speed causes more air resistance. I meant that for two objects with the same speed and surface area, the force due to air resistance is the same. What I'm saying is that the properties of the material or the mass of the object does not lead to more air resistance, but the same force will decelerate the heavier object more. What you're saying is that if you give two objects some initial speed, and one speed is greater than the other, then that object will experience more air resistance. That is correct, but it's not to do with what I'm saying.

I'm absolutely in love with this channel.

Howard Hill, the famous archer/hunter, wrote a book called “Hunting The Hard Way” years ago. He described making his own tackle in detail, as there wasn’t much commercial stuff available at the time. He described a method of grafting a section of heavier hardwood onto the point end of the arrow, which not only made the head/shaft connection stronger, but made the arrow heavier towards the point... Aiding in stability.
