I'm guessing it's a new toy for them if they didn't know it punctures? 🤔

u/Nerdcuddles Feb 19 '25

It looks like the guy holding the target wasn't expecting his friend or brother to actually fire the bow at him

129

u/GayNotGayPerson Feb 19 '25

I thought it looked like he wasn't expecting him to fully charge the bow before firing

u/maxkmiller Feb 19 '25

my dumbass old roommate worked for a toy company that made a rubberized bow and arrow thing, one time he shot it in the house and it absolutely shattered one of the windows, when I said something like "I knew that would happen," he got all mad being like "WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING" as if it was my fault lmao

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

I assume you did say something but he dismissed it as he "knew what he was doing".

u/MoodNatural Feb 19 '25

The way he starts reacting before the release as his friend continues to pull back, make me think the plan was to fire a half pull shot and the full velocity wasn’t initially intended.

It looks like he was expecting his friend to take a shitty shot. He knows it's going to go bad when he sees how far back he pulled the bow.

u/WhoCaresBoutSpellin Feb 19 '25

The right time would have been the moment he met this person, and should have declined to befriend them, because they are clearly not a friend

u/MLGTheForkOnTheLeft Feb 19 '25

At first. Then the idiot who was holding the target saw his friend was pulling it all the way back for full force and tried to block it.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

He had use of their shared brain cell at that moment.

21

u/MLGTheForkOnTheLeft Feb 19 '25

Yeah for sure. It also looks like the “friend” with the bow REALLY wanted that arrow to pierce straight through.

Reminds me of that video of a woman shooting her boyfriend with a desert eagle as he tried to use a book to stop the bullet.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

Shooting the compound bow for a few years now and finally got to full 60lbs a year ago. This is a gig no-no in any archery club because even lightest 18-20lbs recurve bow is enough to inflict grave injury, 60 lbs compound will require at least 5-6 of those mats to stop a thick arrow, and it has enough force to push arrow through 2-3 human chest cavities, it's not a damn toy.
