Tonight's episode will have guys competing against each other using the "Longbow" complete with flaming targets. It's at 10pm Eastern. Anybody gonna watch it? Looks like they're using plastic vanes on their arrows, and the bows looks like a Hoyt Olympic bow with snakeskin on the back. It will be interesting to see how they display archery on this show, considering they're not doing very well by other firearms.

I have been watching the show and have the in-laws DVRing the one tonight since I dont have cable.

The episode was pretty weak, I thought. Didn't look like they gave the competitors much in the way of instruction, then switched to a crossbow for the elimination round. Probably less than 5 minutes of longbow shooting in the episode.

I saw the episode. I was hoping the elimination round would be with the longbow too. It was disappointing that they used crossbows.
-
Anybody notice when they were doing their "practice" they were clearly aiming up so the arrow would travel in an arc down to the target, but all the shots of the arrow hitting the target had the arrows striking in a horizontal direction.

What?!!! :o You mean......the History channel would ......fudge the testing? ::) Why, that would be like saying that the FBI would fudge evidence to prove a case, oh yeah,......they did. Well, then it would be like Disney dumping boxes of lemmings, and then hearding them into the water, to make a film about how lemmings commit mass suicide when their populations get to large....oh,......, that's right they did. Well, I just can't believe that the "History channel" would stoop to that level. OK, I can believe it. But still, someone must have said something to them about it. But I guess the bean counters, and pseudo intellectuals, in charge of programming think it would be good for ratings, if they sort of, ......you know fudged the evidence, and testing, and not exactly tell the whole truth. Sort of like the Drug companies, and news media......artistic license if you will...... ::)
