Archery/bow in tv show

[alexvpaq]

Today i was watching television when i seen in buffy the vampire slayer ( season 3) when buffy meet face they go on a walk to slain vempire and face(a new slayer for a few episode) got a camo oneida and some fat alluminium shaft, was quite funny cause she was trying to put the arrow on the other side of the window... :rolleyes:

Anyone got some archery/bow appearance in any movie/tv show?

I recall in "Blade Trinity" The girl was shooting an AR which was cronographed at over 300fps. Didn't know AR's could reach those speeds:-D

Or could cut a swath through vampires with their laser strings, or become a take-down compound... :grin:

[bobzila]

I think it was a martin hense the voilent explosions that were caused every time it was fired :-D

[ninevalleys]

possibly, though one would think the violent explosions would happen MUCH closer to the archer, not about 50m away :D unless they wern't wearing a finger sling? but then again i wouldnt put it past a Martin to give a 'suprise' :D no matter where it's situated

[Enlightened One]

lol!:grin: Martins can be quite surprising, and yes the shock wave produced by them could quite possibly trigger an explosion 50m or more away!

[ninevalleys]

i was thinking more about the explosion of the bow...:D... itself.. though yes the shock waves are quite.. devastating

[Enlightened One]

I bet we're about to upset some martin shooters but hey:cool: I think simply put martins should not be fired within a 100m radius of a living person due to the risks. though i comend martin shooters they are very very brave people indeed:grin:

[Ja]

i found a picture of an archer in my physics book..

and no i didnt draw them in

[dane]

I must be brave.....

[dane]

it might of been a PSE...(Pull Shot Explode)

My wife watches Kommisar Rex (Inspector Rex) on SBS 7:30 pm Thursday nights. Tonight they screened a 1999 episode, which I had seen many years ago, in which the murder was committed with a recurve shooting a broadhead.

Some very nice archery footage using people who knew what shooting a recurve was all about. Some very good camera angles on the draw and release. Very nice to see after some of the crap shown in the references to movies and things above.

At least you dont have coronation st over there for 3 hours a week. Its been playing in nz for 40 years or something stupid, my parents have become attached to it latly.

[shooting_star]

I heard that a bowtech or something was going to be on CSI. I dont know if the episodes already been and gone. I heard that there was some sniper guy who was using a bow instead of a gun.

[Enlightened One]

I heard that too but i never saw the episode (if it was ever made) understandable why they would choose a bowtech:D

[Tegs]

Look in the book of record theres something about archery and a gilr shooting upside down

Was that the girl that was shooting with her feet while she was upside down? Very impressive though i would like to see her do it with a compound!

[Ja]

yeah, like her try to shoot a fita like that..

[Tegs]

yeh :lol: that the one

[coach]

Would like to see her do a lot of things :D :p

[kk]

yeah i was on tv for archery last month
ch10's "home life style" did a little segment on archery
they came out to sopa and had us shooting in the background for a bit
then they did a couple of awsome angles of me cause i was so keen
:-)
oh yeah and they asked us some random questions too
Thats me there in the foreground: http://www.homelifestyle.com.au/index.php?e=119&p=archery

but unfortunatly i missed my own tv appearance,
the people from ch10 didnt tell us we were on :-(

but yeah thats my archery on tv story

[hoyt for life 2]

In nz in the background on chanel one news everynight theres a silowet of an archer behind the sports reporter guy.

[alexvpaq]

last time i heard about archery in news it was my friend last summer who won a medal at the quebec youth games and they even made a mistake in his name ...

[ninevalleys]

oh!!,

yes it is queer, but im pretty sure a Hoyt is used in charlies angels or summin. a take down one.. what is it with films and having compounds that magically flip open and string up??

cheers NV

[BigMama]

Serious compound action in "Deliverance". From memory Burt Reynolds knew how to shoot.

Must have it confused with something else - been a few years since I saw it.

Yeah that charlies angels thing was pretty silly. In the "funnies" the girl dry fires it and its quite funny:-D as for the take down compounds I wish they were never even thought of they're just dumb:mad:

I was on TV too! but They didnt show much of me :( it was at the junior nationals this year... i think a few other people were on it too..
But i didnt see it myself either, i still havnt, and i dont really want to. I must've looked really bad because I had been shooting all day in the heat, and i was sunburnt...

Mythbusters used a compound for the myth of splitting an arrow from nock to point by 'robin hooding', though they used some hidious antique for their tests which annoyed me:-D They got longbow shooters to try and do it (failed, shock horror!) I think they resorted to using a bamboo shaft and a hooter shooter which actually did work and split the shaft from nock to point:cool:

Thats A bit stupid, they spend $15000 on pingpong balls to refloat a ship and buy 20 000 tons of sand to see if you can actualy get quicksand (could list more if you wanted) but wouldnt get a decent bow or shooter. which would be what $5000 at the most.

[Enlightened One]

Mythbusters is my favourite show so im not trying to give them a bad image or anything like that, but a fairly modern (2002+) bowtech, hoyt or mathews would have been a good thing to see on tv to try and sell archery as a sport a bit more:cool: I know that a mathews was used for some of their tests but it was not used well (not even a release aid was used:mad: ).

[Brocky]

That was very enlightening ;). To your question do blind people get the full affect of Alphabet soup, yes depending on what letter they put in their mouth.

[Enlightened One]

I dont know......your a funny one Brocky:grin:

[hoyt for life 2]

troy has some bows in it.

[QUOTE=alexvpaq]i don't think there is any

[alexvpaq]

Nah, have you ever wondered why there are so many "I's" in the boxes??? Mystery solved ;)
But ''I'' is also one of the most used french vowel...
mystery isn't solved yet :P

[jimmi]

worst of all charlies angles

[Jordan R]

When you look at Rambo: First Blood Part 2 he uses dynamite tipped arrows and from memory they are screw in points.

[dane]

[James Hirth]
