How many Water Balloons does it take to stop an Arrow?

Рік тому

In this video I try to double the world record for the most water balloons burst with a single arrow shot from a compound bow. The current record is 38, and with the vlog style video I take you behind the scenes in our journey to capture a new world record in Archery. World record for the most water balloons broke with a bow and arrow, and a crossbow. Arrow vs Water balloon's! Additionally we thought we would stretch the rules a bit and try to double the world record by shooting an arrow from a crossbow at 80 water balloons. Does it count?

You should submit both, but I don't understand why the second one wouldn't count? At worst, you've made a brand new world record - most number of waterballoons shot with a crossbow bolt! Fun video, thanks Drew and Buzz (and nephew).

@DrewBuildsStuff Рік тому

Ya I would say the cross bow is a while different record, it’s not the same skill level as a compound bow. But again it doesn’t define what kind of bow

@IdealIdeas100 Рік тому

I see there is a bit of min maxing going on. By targeting near the tops where there is just air, the arrow deflects less and keeps its speed up. Maybe making them a bit bigger would give them more sag so the arrow can slowly descend through air pockets of the water balloons.

@DrewBuildsStuff Рік тому

Ya we tried a bunch of combinations, for the actual bow and arrow it came down to getting a perfect shot so the arrow would “skip” across the water on top of the balloons. The crossbow has way more speed so doesn’t drop as quickly

@grahamshellswell4513 Рік тому

I’d love to say you did it. But as the rules failed to define ‘burst’, Oxford steps in and defines the verb as “break open or apart suddenly and violently”. Those last two can’t really be described as violently. And yet I feel this is the way most (if not all) people would judge a balloon to have ‘burst’ if it does so violently.
