Olympic Archer Breaks Down Video Game Archery | WIRED
Olympic archer Mackenzie Brown breaks down how archery is portrayed in video games. More and more video games are featuring bows in combat, but just how close are games getting to the real thing? Watch as Mackenzie takes a look at archery from games like The Last of Us Part II, Assassin’s Creed Origins, The…

I love this series of professionals comparing fiction to reality. That being said, you NEED to tell these people that this is fiction and that these are supposed to be fun interviews. There is no need to be super critical about how someone is holding the bow sideways, it’s a video game after all. “You must be fun at parties” is a perfect comment that sums up everything I’m trying to say.

Idk I think that comment on the position of the bow gave me more information on the real physics of the movement. I don’t think she’s being super critical, I think she’s just unfamiliar with the content of the games so she’s just imparting as much knowledge as she can. And she gives the games credit where credit is due.

You need to educate your self, google Lars Andersen he even shoot down incoming arrow with his own arrow. And of course Joerg Sprave with his instant legolas. Maybe you are good at your sport, but open your mind and make sometimes something different or make it more fun(archery become very boring, sry)

Not only does she not seem to understand the games or character backstories creating inconsistencies with her opinions, but also similarly to what many others are bringing up, competition archery is wildly different than survival and combat archery.

I’m sure everything she is saying is 100% correct for olympic archery and for shooting compound bows but she is wrong about a number of things concerning non compound bows or situations outside competition spaces. Like what she said about the thief arrow being a realistic depiction is wrong because in pretty much every type of bow but compound or modern bows the arrow bends and wobbles a lot which isn’t shown in thief. If you want to see how much an arrow wobbles watch this video by smarter every day

I find it fascinating that the way that MEDIA depicts things now are just uninformative ( mostly on purpose ) because of the “Cool Factor”.
much like public school… you don’t learn anything usefull by experiencing it, but some parts were fun.
i practiced HEMA for 5 years, and while i agree with most of her points… she is a Olympic Archer.
there is no pressure to shooting, arming and re-shooting a bow in a Shooting Range.
so her experience in actual “Combat Archery” is almost non-existant.
in my opinion? yes, most of these are ridiculous and stupid simply because it looks cool… but that is part of the “Escape Fantasy”, i don’t play games for Realism.
if i want realism in shooters, i go play Airsoft.
if i want realism in medieval games, i go do some HEMA training.
if i want realism in Simulators, i go do LIFE.

I love when the specialists understand they’re reviewing movies or games (aka “fiction”) and go with it, crack a laugh and tell how it could be done better or some related anecdote instead of you know, “that’s impossible moving on”. Sorry, it’s all in the interest of making it more fun. Have a nice day!

Please do not try to push an arrow through your body. You can cap off the teeth of a broadhead using a feather or hollow tube like a pen and pull it out back the way it came. This is likely what was done historically. (Obviously, in modern day, do not touch it and go to the hospital)

I have no bow experience but I believe thinking about wind and movement is something only olympic shooters will think about. If you are a natural shooter, you will shoot first and think later. Thinking will make you miss.
PS: There is a korean olympic shooter who is almost blind, and still was at point the best male archer. When asked, he said that he’s good because he does not think too much about the target because he can’t see.
Morten Jacobsen
November 27, 2020 at 1:30 am
Trad shooters in wa compete at 30 meters, plenty of time for wind to caus drift, even rain has to be accouted for and the target is statonary so no need to think about it, the entohrinal cortex is always calculating regardles of moving target or not

If your not using a rest canting the bow keeps the arrow on the shelf so it can be important if moving to prevent the arrow falling of the shelf

What is it with Olympic Archers and all that GEAR they put on their bow. To us laypeople it just looks like the bow could hit the bullseye by itself and all you need to do is pull the string back. Obviously it is more than that but you gotta admit when watching the Olympics (or any event) involving archery just looks the winner comes down to who has the best equipment. Less skill, more tech.

Right off the hop she’s wrong about canting the bow… if you’ve ever shot trad bows and know anything about archery canting is extremely useful. Using your knuckles and the side of the bow you can form a V and use that to get the distance to target, size of your target and you form a primitive crosshair.
Stop using Olympic archers for these videos. They use a very different form of archery. Drives me insane

Second Amendment to the United States Constitution – “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Fundamentally what created our country was our ability as a people to rise against the government as they become tyrannical in nature.
The Second Amendment IS the voice of the people, with no Second Amendment there is no First. Without even considering the empirical data, and self defense arguments which have merit of their own, it allows the people the option of non-compliance to Government which without, is forfeit. I’m going to take a shot in the dark and imagine that Hong Kong’s protests don’t favor the protestors having to fight back against THEIR tyrannical government with archery equipment. If you disagree with Government or Politics, the 2nd Amendment is the right of the PEOPLE. I may have been born in Korea, but I was raised American, Protect the FREE PEOPLE.

She should have talked about the different types of bows first, primitive self bows, traditional recurves, long bows, and R/D bows, modern compound bows. Same with arrow material wood, aluminum, graphite, CF. No mention of how arrow spine and bow poundage need to be matched. While none of this formatting issue is her fault she could have offered advice of where to start.

well, I think Turks and Mongols shooting way is correct 突厥人蒙古人在射箭時,根本不會去拉弓弦,他們是用食指跟大拇指夾住箭矢,然後往後拉,這使得弓弦根本不會抖動,準確率也因此大為精進

In combat your not going to have 15 seconds to notch and aim your bow. Competent trained archers shoot a arrow in 5 seconds, where skilled archers are half that. It really shows the areas where sport archers are lacking.

She is completely right on the very first crysis one but in this case I believe it was too keep field of view open for the player as that was a large bow and would cut the screen in half if straight up and proper. She is still very very right on her analysis.

An olympic archer has nothing to do with anything depicted in these games. They are the most closed minded people when it comes to archery. Very limited knowledge on the subject.
In almost every video, she was wrong about something.
For example, canting the bow Will help you aim on a bow that doesn’t have a sight, like her olympic bow.
You would not scratch your ear or cheek if you draw your bow more. Ever seen kyudo? Or manchu style archery?
Also, nocking the arrow can be done extremely fast. Just because it takes her 15 seconds to shoot an arrow it doesn’t mean others can’t do it faster.
Just the wrong expert for this subject.

The point you made about carring the bow on you back dose not consider older styals of bow like the engalish longbow wich is often seen over the shoulder though over the head is still a bit of a strach

When she mentioned the grip on the bow in TLOU2, I didnt see Ellie attaching a grip or anything, I saw her wrenching on a stabilizer, relatively small one though you’d see on compound bows. And I’m surprised she didnt mention the horrible brace height on ellie’s bow. The string slaps she would get, omg

I get she shoots off a center rest and probably hasn’t watched her arrows in slow motion… but that arrow coming off that bow wouldn’t look anything like that. It would must certainly flex and oscillate in the air. 7:02
Mike Knierim
January 12, 2021 at 8:18 pm
depends on the bow smartass, the bow has an indentation for the arrow. The arrow doesnt have to bend around the bow so there will barely be any flex or oscillitation.

Did you guys use an “olympic” archer so that people think this information is more credible? Because I have to say you really should have chosen a different “expert”. You’re showing footage of (except for crysis 3) wooden, sometimes improvised bows to somebody who is using a compound bow. The Disconnect becomes really apparent when she talks about plastic nocks and that it takes her 15 seconds to fire an arrow. You should have chosen Lars Anderson who can probably recreate all the shots in the used footage, including the jumping shots etc.
Chris Herne
January 12, 2021 at 1:04 pm
About the ability to load and shoot quickly, just do a search for Lars Andersen and look at some of his videos; yes it’s possible and for archers that are trained for war and not sport shooting, this would be quite possible…
Ahmet Yusuf SELÇUK

Anatomical X
January 12, 2021 at 4:28 pm
I love, that even still to this day, no game manages to get archery right. For one, the arrow should be loaded on the right side of the bow, as this allows for an exponentially increased reload speed. An arrow being fired on the left side of the bow only exists in modern sports archery.

bows/crossbows in video games have to be the most inaccurate weapons when compared to reality. a bow is an incredibly boring and one-dimensional weapon + that it has the downside that it requires a lot of training

Brandon Walker

Agreed. There are lots of different forms of archery, and an olympic/competition archer was not the best choice for this video. That said, her comments on the physics and behavior of the arrow is pretty good.

Is there not also an “arrow drop” upon being fired, the longer the range the more the; i guess, arch of the shot will drop?

What Liege said if it’s at all windy, but yes. There’s arrow drop. The longer the distance, the more you have to compensate. It’s true of guns too.

For the first Crysis clip, I think the bow is at an angle to give the player a better view.
The player shooting at the Tallneck in the Horizon: Zero Dawn footage is being dumb.
For the Witcher clip, hes a Witcher, so he is a ninja/ jedi and has the reflexes to deflect arrows.
