This guide details an experiment to measure the vertical flight time of arrows shot from different bow types, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers the setup, equipment, and recording process, highlighting how arrow velocity impacts flight duration. The experiment emphasizes safety and the use of specialized whistling arrow tips for better tracking.
This video, presented by Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced individual with knowledge of archery kinetics and various bow types, tests the effectiveness of riot shields against different archery projectiles. It details penetration tests using a recurve bow, a compound bow (PSE Stinger at 300-350 fps), and a high-performance crossbow (TenPoint Nitro XRT at 470 fps and 190 ft-lbs). The results demonstrate that standard riot shields offer limited protection against powerful archery equipment, with multiple shields and specialized bolts required for significant resistance.
This video features Edwin Sarkissian, a high-authority content creator specializing in destructive testing, as he tests the effectiveness of various crossbows against a one-inch thick bulletproof glass target. The experiment demonstrates the impact of different arrow velocities and kinetic energies, with even high-powered crossbows failing to penetrate the glass, though arrow tips deform significantly.
