Everything movies taught me about archery is wrong. This is a complete mind-blower. 8D

If you are even remotely interested in archery or medieval combat, check this out, it’s just great!

Not only is this fascinating, there are a lot of images from art history here. It just goes to show that what you can learn from the past isn’t limited to facts you can know, but things you can do.

My favorite part?

He learned this doing research for LARPs (Live Action Role Playing):

Lars Andersen originally started using bow and arrow to fight in pretend battles during Larps (live action role play) events, where he played a soldier in a medieval-inspired army. While Larps can be about anything – the Danish/Polish Harry Potter inspired larp College of Wizardry (cowlarp.com) recently got world-wide media attention and there wasn’t a rubber sword in sight there – many Larps take place in fantasy worlds inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. And it was at one of these Larps, that Lars started to learn to shoot fast while moving.

In 2012, Lars Andersen released his video, “Reinventing the fastest forgotten archery”, where he showed how he had learned to shoot from old archery manuscripts. Using these old, forgotten techniques, Lars demonstrated how he was now the fastest archer on the planet, and after its release, the video got 3 million hits on YouTube in two days.

Since the 2012 video was released, Lars has studied and practiced, and he is now able to fire three arrows in 0.6 seconds – a truly stunning feat making him much faster than the legendary fictional archer Legolas (played by Orlando Bloom in the Lord of the Rings movies).

The time benchmark he was trying to achieve, according to the video, was the expectation of the speed at which “Saracen“ archers were expected to shoot. In fact, most of the source material as far as I can see isn’t European.

A lot of the techniques described are also used in Mongolian Archery, which requires being able to shoot from horseback, and is traditionally practiced by men and women. You can see a video here.

Interview Meme | Aztai Ejinn

What is your full name?

”My name is Aztai Ejinn.” What do your friends call you?

“They call me Aztai or Az, usually.”

What is your favorite animal?

“Hm... I would have to say birds in general, since I don’t really have a specific favourite. It’s one of the reasons I kept Puddles around with me, actually, instead of putting her in the care of someone else.”

Where were you born?

“I was born on the Azim Steppe, on an island a bit offshore actually... My mother tells me that I picked a bad night to be born, given the weather that night.”

Do you have children?

“Hah! No, I do not have children presently. One day, though, with the right person.”

Is there a person/people you love?

“...I think so, but I am still unfamiliar with such feelings, so I’m not sure exactly what this is. As for who... I’ll keep that to myself for now.”

What is your favorite color?

“Green or blue, definitely. They’re the colours that surrounded me from the moment I was born, so I am very fond of them.”

What is your full occupation?

“I am an adventurer, and a peacekeeper. I usually end up getting called to deal with people of my race, since not all of them can speak Eorzean -- fluently or otherwise -- which causes some problems with the Eorzean born peacekeepers, since a majority of them cannot speak Xaelic, or the Raen’s tongue.”

Are you good at physical fighting?

“I think so, though there is still plenty I have to learn, which keeps things interesting.”

Which form are you best at?

“Bow and arrow, without a doubt. I can handle myself pretty well bare-handed too. There’s a lot I haven’t yet tried out, though.”

What about magic?

“I’ve not really practiced much with magic, except for a short time as a kid. We would try out a range of weapons, and see what we were most drawn to. I practiced for a while with a staff, and was okay with it... until I was introduced to the bow, then that completely took over my world.”

Which type are you best at?

“I believe its called ‘Thaumaturgy’ here. I should try and pick that back up again, when I have some free time.”

Craftsmanship?

“I wanted to know how to do everything I could, so I was taught a lot of different skills. Sewing, leatherworking, wood carving, cooking, basic potion making, jewelry making, fishing, and botany. I’ve taken up smithing and mining since I’ve came here to Eorzea, as well.”

Any other skills?

“My parents have called me their ‘little songbird’, I believe is how it’s said, for as long as I can remember. I’ve kept up the practice with singing, as well, and became a bard shortly after arriving. I’m... still not comfortable with singing in front of others just yet. I usually do so when I’m alone.”

Are you an only child?

“That I am not! I have a handful of siblings. I have an older sister, two younger twin brothers, a younger sister, and I believe I should have another sibling who I haven’t met yet since they were born after I left.”

Where do you see yourself in five years?

“I’ve not really thought about that, since I like to live more in the ‘now’. But... at the very least, stable and more settled in.”

Have you ever almost died?

“Mm... a couple close calls with Imperials, and a few incidents back home too from me being reckless as a teen.”

Do you have a secret, not just a secret, but like a really big secret hardly anyone knows?

“Heh, a couple, but I keep those close to my chest.”

Salty or sweet?

“Ah, that’s a difficult one... it’s a toss up between the two, really. I enjoy salty foods, but I also like sweet foods. Can I choose both?”

Do you like yourself?

“I think I’m okay.”

Do you believe in the Twelve?

“I’m not really sure yet.”

Are you religious?

“Ah... I don’t think so? It’s not really a concept I’m familiar with yet.”

Do you carry prejudice with you?

“I... apologize. That’s another concept I don’t really fully understand yet.”

What do you consider entertainment?

“Hm... I’ve been to a performance or two before, and have watched fireworks at the Faire with friends. Outside of that, I’m not really sure, as I don’t have a ton of freetime.”

Favorite drink?

“I don’t really have a specific favourite here, but I do quite enjoy various teas.”

Do you have any family traditions?

“Hm... If the tribe wasn’t moving, we’d go for morning swims. I’m not sure what else might be considered a family tradition though.”

Are you a good person?

“I like to believe so.”

Thank you for answering my questions.

Interview Meme | Ustsetseg Ejinn

What is your full name?

”Ustsetseg Ejinn.” What do your friends call you?

“Friends are... very few. Especially here in Eorzea. If we mean nicknames, I have some who call me ‘Ust’, some who call me ‘Tseg’.”

What is your favorite animal?

“Rabbits. Where my tribe would make camp usually ended up being near rabbit families and they eventually got used to our presence, so as a kid I enjoyed playing with them. I... actually had a pet rabbit before the Calamity. I’m not sure if I could own one again...”

Where were you born?

“The Steppe, of course, in the Ejinn tribe. Can’t really give you the exact location, given the nature of my tribe.”

Do you have children?

“...” She goes silent, looking off to the side before giving a quiet sigh. “No.”

Is there a person/people you love?

“Really? Are you really-... I’m not answering this.”

What is your favorite color?

“I don’t really have a favourite... but if I had to pick, pink or a pale green.”

What is your full occupation?

“Adventurer, as a broad term. Otherwise, I’m a hired bard for bars and taverns.”

Are you good at physical fighting?

“Of course.”

Which form are you best at?

“While I do prefer the bow, I’m good with hand-to-hand combat, and can wield a mean knife. I’ve dabbled a little in daggers, as well.”

What about magic?

“...Sadly no.”

Which type are you best at?

“None.”

Craftsmanship?

“Tailoring, woodworking, and leatherworking, and I think I’m an okay cook...”

Any other skills?

“I can sing and play a few instruments, does that count?”

Are you an only child?

“No, I have a few siblings, and I also consider my tribemates around my age and younger than me siblings as well.” 

Where do you see yourself in five years?

“I’m... not sure, honestly. Maybe more stable than I currently am, maybe happier.”

Have you ever almost died?

“Plenty of times. Sometimes I wish I had, within the last 10 years. Maybe then I could be with him again.”

Do you have a secret, not just a secret, but like a really big secret hardly anyone knows?

“Plenty. And I’m not keen to share them.”

Salty or sweet?

“Sweet.”

Do you like yourself?

“That’s a loaded question. Some days yes, most days no.”

Do you believe in the Twelve?

“Not particularly.”

Are you religious?

“To the extent others can be? No. I do believe in Azim and Nhaama, however.”

Do you carry prejudice with you?

“Sometimes.”

What do you consider entertainment?

“Hm... indirectly causing fights in taverns, and insulting rude Eorzean’s in my native tongue while using a flirty tone when they’re coming onto me, then either ignoring them afterwards or telling them it meant something flirty instead of what it actually was.”

Favorite drink?

“Spiced Cider. It has a nice bit of bite to it.”

Do you have any family traditions?

“Family specifically? No, I don’t think so... Tribe traditions, though? Plenty.”

Are you a good person?

“...I do not consider myself one.”

Thank you for answering my questions.

Attachment Style Test: Aztai Ejinn

Explanation of Quadrants

Relaxed-Engaging (Secure): Relaxed-Engaging individuals tend to have good self-esteem and typically find it easy to share their feelings and opinions with others. They spend less time fretting and second-guessing themselves than individuals in the other three quadrants, and they generally find it easy to ask others for help or support when in need. They are usually straightforward and trusting in their relations with others, and their usual state is one of being open, approachable, and relaxed. For this reason, they typically have fewer interpersonal defenses than others. They naturally seek to connect with others while remaining realistic about the transformative power of intimate relationships: Relaxed-Engaging individuals don't expect to be swept off their feet, or to have their entire world turned upside-down by the arrival of some romantic savior or the like - they're already "comfortable in their own skin," so to speak. Instead, they seek to cultivate simple virtues, such as mutual trust and a sense of shared intimacy with others. They generally don't play games, but seek to establish uncomplicated and mutually beneficial relationships.
