So many people comment that Corridor Digital did this last year. However, there are a few things to note: 1. Corridor had larger holes which were not metal. If they were, even a slight touch of the arrow (yes, the arrow touched the sides) would've resulted in a failure. 2. Odysseus' bow was the strongest bow ever made (according to the myth) and only he could draw it. A weak bow has naturally a greater projectile drop. 3. „Shooting though axe heads“ is a vague term. Some people cut holes into the axe heads, some add rings. But it is very likely that the holes the shafts are attached to are meant here, and shooting through multiple of those is nearly impossible.

Were they metal it probably would have deflected enough to fail. Still impressive, and he pulled it off in 1 shot each so all it would have taken was a few tries to dial in his aim probably, though it would have destroyed quite a few arrows.

In the epic, the bow was nigh-impossible to string. Therefore it's a very stiff bow. Thus a very POWERFUL bow for a powerful man. That would make the arc of the arrow launched from it flatter in that range. Then the question on the arrows: how much can they flex before hitting the rings?

@John Smith The stronger the bow the more it should increase the paradox and even going with stiffer arrows will only result in the identical flight as a weaker bow and flimsier arrows. The only way to reduce the paradox would be by stiffer arrows under the same draw weight.

Something to keep in mind is that a "Bow-Master" would have likely had thousands of hours of practice and peer review under their belt, or to look at it in another way, today many of us drive cars, we drive them in the rain, snow, wind, we drive them in the day and at night and on roads who's condition sometimes begs the question if they deserve to be called roads and on occasions at speeds that are far far over the rated limits of the roads we drive on, and this is a skill today that we are all adept at and some we can truly say are masters of. In say 4 thousand years when all cars have been AI driven for at least a thousand years the thought that a human of thousands of years ago could drive could very well be the topic of some distant spin-off of this show where they discuss how plausible it could be that primitive humans could do such a task while they themselves are dismissive of the tools of today that we have learned to master.

Add to that any documentation done today and in yesteryear's will have a bias, look at say for instance instructional videos from the 50's on how to drive, while much of what you see there is applicable there is much that has changed, and the two things to keep in mind is today we have the vantage point to detect those subtle changes, in a thousand years they may well say "a car is a car, and without AI I don't think they could go over 20 kmph" And they may base that on early car speeds and what ever survived on the topic to that age and was then translation mangled for them to read, watch and listen. Add to that, a huge amount of our driving instruction is still word of mouth, yes I can download a pdf to find the laws on driving in any state/country in the world, but the actual art of driving, by and large that is a skill that is passed on, teacher to student, via word of mouth while in hands on instruction.

I am ok with plausible. But I do think at 30 yds which was technically the given distance some odd years ago, lol. It is easily possible for any man or woman with a 30 lbs recurve, long bow, or compound bow. It is not hard to shoot straight, it is hard when you try to shoot accurately or consistently and have that mindset. So in other words this was not a hard shot, but more of a test of time for humans ability to evolve and conquer, more or less.

So I want to point somethings out, 1: Odysseus had a multi-hundred pound(like over 200lbs) recurve bow, not a longbow, this does change a lot of the factors, due to the fact that an average Welsh(British) Longbow was about 100lbs in weight, and by increasing the power of a bow, increases the amount of speed and force that arrow can produce, and can create a long flat fight path before it started to curve downwards. 2: They are by far not the first people to try to do this challenge(of their age range? Probably) this is actually a very common challenge to attempt throughout history, and it has been done. The reason why this shot is said to be impossible is because of the weight of the bow, as literally, no one should be able to draw a 200+lb bow and shoot accurately enough to thread an arrow through ringed Axe Heads.

Then don't watch Mythbusters Jr. and stop crying lmao

I’m not a fan of Mythbusters Jr (probably because I’m 39) but I love Adam and the way he is with all that energy with the kids makes me love him more

Lars Anderson could do this with a recurve bow, blind folded, and jumping into the air.

This was done before. Do you guys do no research at all?

Corridor did this

Odysseus' bow could only be strung by Odysseus with the assistance of Zeus, the same with threading the axe heads. Only Odysseus could make the shot because he was the only one blessed by Zeus to command the bow.

I saw the one you talked about why ancient people put the tip,that was to make it heavy because of wind,wind affects direction

Corridor digital did this without any fancy rigs 😂

Finding Homeric stories to be based on reality, why would one call this a mythological shot? It was an amazing feat and you proved just how amazing it truly was.

If Odysseus was a robot, the correct term would be an automaton.

Those that are saying the archer's paradox would make a straight shot impossible are either forgetting, or not aware, that arrow's spine plays a great importance to this. Over spine the arrow, and there will be little to no "course correction". Then just correct for a new point of aim. If Odyssey's bow was as powerful as purported, the correct arrows to deal with a "normal" level of archer's paradox would have already made it much stiffer than what any other bow needed. The flip side to this is to use a heavily underspined arrow to shoot arrows that seemingly turn midair.

There’s a video by the corridor crew from June 2018 where they already did this

The corridor crew did this with no machines and one person did it first try

So many people are saying they should have seen Corridor Crew, but these videos came out around the same time.

I'm waiting for this to get the mythbusters treatment and have 3 breaks for ads before the final result

That green hoodie kid seems so insecure

you know a human can do that no problem corridor digital did it the first try

I've seen a YT video a while back ago where a bunch of archers made this shot, there was even a noobie among them that made the shot too. This had been replicated and was perfectly executed in real life without machinery long before this episode came out.
