I used to shoot a bow and arrow, then I took a trick shot to the knee.

Man this DudePerfect stuff really annoys me. These guys seem to like themselves very much, no matter how many takes are required.

That's one sad Panda

Tried to get in before the haters, didn't make it.

This is me submitting a comment on Fark.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

I snickered when he shot the bear in the nuts. Other than that the video was pretty lame

Trick shots? Not really much there

got nothing on the Real Masters of Trick Shots

Really annoying how damn proud of himself he is after each successful shot. If he was actually good at this, he'd *expect* to have successful shots, not celebrate like crazy afterwards when he finally pulls it off.

You should probably get a life instead of analyzing a YouTube video like it's the Zapruder film.

I say this as a friend.

Seriously. No one should ever have fun or express joy. Like North Korea!

Old and busted: New Hotness, New Hotness: New and Improved?

Isn't aiming with a bow and arrow to a target easier than shooting the basketball which requires more angle calculation and the muscle memory of your arms/shoulders? Some of the distance shots are obviously not easy, but I would think it would take significantly less tries than shooting with a B&A

Exactly, he seems very surprised when he does make it.

Settle down boys.

Yeah, I thought I might see some comment like that. Admittedly, my statement was poorly written and did not properly express my thoughts.

I personally don't find a lot of entertainment value in "trick shot" videos. They are always a compilation of the made shots with no hint about how many takes were required. The DudePerfect Team really confuses me, because these guys seem to have a lot of time to dedicate to this.
The statement about liking themselves wasn't so much about cheering after a made shot; it was more about how much they advertise their videos.

Fair points, both of you, but the guy is demonstrating Tebow levels of amped-up-ness. But hey, at least he's having fun outside instead of pissing on people on the internet.

Points awarded to Dude Perfect and Wise_Guy

Meh... Use a regulation size ball and I'll be impressed.

I only lasted until the synth drums started

"We'd like to dedicate this shot to Isaac Newton and all his family members that are still around today."

Newton died a virgin, so... no.

proteon: Zombie Hitler: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

Came to say this. I'm saying it anyway.

YYYYYEAAAAAHH!!!!

Now we know Roger Goodell's fark handle.

Cool shots, +1. Annoying self-congratulatory screaming, -1.

Dude comes out with a score of zero.

Sorry, internet people who are afraid of criticism.

WTF did I just watch?

The big thing would be adapting to how the big, old, nerf ball on the front is going to change the flight path of the arrow.

After that just always just aim for the back of the rim. The shot at 1:01 really shows how it works. The guy is standing above the basketball, so he shoots downwards and aims for the back of the rim/back of the net. Arrow hits the rim/net, cases moving forward and instead moves downwards for the basket.

I'd be more impressed if they weren't pretty much always higher up than the basket and shooting down into it. The arrow pretty much just has to follow a linear flight path. Once you teach yourself to shoot on that flight path, it is easy enough.

/still they put some time in to getting good with the nerfball on the front

There are WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! girls
And there are YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! guys
/and they typically find each other at some point in life to spawn

It would be impressive if he didn't do anything other than the same shot 100 times in a row or if he wasn't using a compound cheater bow.

also, I'd like to see him match anything shot by this guy (new window)

/shoots a barebow recurve
//nowhere near as good as Ferguson

That first video cracked me up.

"That was a quarter. Now, let's try something the size of a nickel. Let's see, what's the size of a nickel...ah, a Life Saver!"

/at least that's what I heard

Compound bows and releases are for pussies.

Saw Ferguson at a 2 day shoot about 15 years ago, he was fairly close to his targets (5-8yds), I'd guestimate 35-40# bow.

/have a Ferguson longbow, hellacious hand shock.
//been shooting barebow Green Mountain Longbows (no longer in production, fine cabinetry was more lucrative for bowyer) for ~17 yrs, much better experience.

I haven't shot a bow since camp when i was a kid BUT....

Isn't he pulling it back wrong? I though proper technique was to put the bow up over your head, then pull as you lowered it to shooting position?

Not in populated areas when using a trigger glove...

My father bought my brother and I a basic bow when we were pretty young and we practiced on tuna cans from about 20-25 yards, and got pretty accurate. When I was older I had a 45lb, sightless, compound (I don't hunt so 45 was a good pull-weight for dicking around) just for fun. I used to do target shooting with a friend (who was a hunter). We'd go out in the woods and put targets out (milk jugs, 2 liter containers) and take turns taking shots at them. He'd get pissed because even with his 75lb compound with sights, I'd still out shoot his ass.


/I should go buy some arrows and take a walk in the woods.

I'm in before dittybopper? You gotta be kidding?

Zombie Hitler: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

I could only take 2 of those before I had to hit the mute button

Anybody else tired of retarded homebuilt soundtracks that dont fit being stapled onto YouTube videos?

Not really. With a modern compound, it's pretty bad form to put it up over your head to get it pulled back. If you have to put it over your head that means you're pulling too much weight and you'll probably never be as accurate as the bow is capable.
