You've likely heard of "archer's paradox" and might even know the theory behind it. But what does it REALLY mean? I mean, what does an arrow really do upon release, especially one that is under-spined?
This short YouTube video leaves nothing to the imagination and is quite astounding when viewing the gyrations an arrow goes through upon release. The poster even pushed an under-spined arrow to destruction for demo purposes. Enjoy...and be amazed.

That's wild! I wouldn't have the stuff to shoot an arrow with a spine that weak.

Yeah, it was like a wet noodle going across the shelf
I would need a full face shield and heavy leather welding gloves

Just for giggles, id like to see a video showing paradox and recovery of all the major arrow materials....ok,, for Tonys sake, cane too...lol! It would be neat to see the way each material reacted.
