    What is the name of this documentary?

  2. yastunt says:

    Toob – this is a clip from the Japanese “NHK” channel. I’m writing this from memory – but I think the programme is called “Beyond the human eye”. “NHK” is available on satellite tv.

    This is pretty insane. Considering the draw weight of the yumi bows (they are not very hard to draw), this kind of power and penetration is outrageous. Thank you for uploading this.

    I’ll try and put more Japanese stuff on youtube – but am wary of copywrite laws. .

    This is very impressive, but when you consider the arrow is supposed to peirce armour, it isn’t that surprising.
