I doubt there are many other people on earth that can shoot arrows like these homies.

Damn. That last guy, with the arrow through the other arrow (or something to that effect) was awesome.

haha yeah I used to shoot a little bit in high school. I couldn't do anything like that, but it makes me want to pick it up again.

That video makes my grouping from 15 yards look like shit. No wait, they just normally look like shit. Either way, it's a pretty cool video.

I suppose that's cool, but I'm more into guns. With my .30-06, shooting off a sandbag, I can put three bullets into the same hole at 100 yards. With my S&W model 10 revolver, I can make one ragged hole at 15 yards. But those shots aren't as difficult as that archery shooting.

That last arrow was just a sleeve. MythBusters proved that the arrow gyrates too much to make a true "robin hood" split.

Exactly.

MythBusters doesn't really prove anything..... Except maybe the ones they confirm.

A lot of times I feel like they don't really do a good job. Especially the interns. Like the one about swords breaking on eachother. They said it was "busted" but I can tell you, swords do break on eachother if they get beaten enough. The ones they used were brand new, and they just pronounced it a total myth.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think the myth they were testing was "swords breaking on each other." I think they showed quite conclusively that swords can break on each other. I believe the myth they were testing was the ability for one sword to "cut" another sword (Kill Bill style).

I will agree though that some of their conclusions are a bit shady in some cases.

The sword one was the worst one Mythbusters has done. They kept trying to cut through the entire blade, instead of the flat of the blade, which is much thinner. Also, they didn't take into account that the other person holding the sword might be swinging in the opposite direction, increasing the force on the blade. Plus, the only swords they used were katanas and decorative swords.

Ya, they should have pulled out the light sabers.
