      At about the 16 second mark, I’m pretty sure the guy in the middle catches an incoming arrow with one hand, turns it around and nocks it on his own bow.

      We need to send these dudes compound bows. Would make this much more interesting.

      So PNG had a crazy conflict from 1988 to 1998 called the Bougainville conflict. Had a lot of shenanigans like this

      At 1:30 how close do you guys think those two firing lines are from each other? It’s hard to tell but I would be surprised if its even 20m

      So do they just start picking up the enemies‘ arrows off the ground if they run out of their own?

      I wanna air drop a container of zhugenu to them, let them fight with semiautomatic weapons atleast

      I wonder how dangerous the arrows are if they hit.

      They don’t seem to be seriously trying to murder each other. I guess that’s a good thing. An improvised shield and a machete and blind courage would wreak a lot of carnage.

      this reminds me that „1963 Papua New Guinea tribal combat footage“ video on youtube. it is so intense, fascinating to watch. glad we have that very important footage.

      Seems ridiculous but up until firearms and some later crossbows our projectiles of choice were generally slow enough for our eyes to track and for our bodies to react. There is some brilliant footage from the 1960s in Papua New Guinea of two tribes engaged in an outright battle in the open highlands and much of it involves fleetfooted dodging and leaping and firing once you’re sure no one is targeting you.

      It’s only theory of course but it would not be a stretch to say that such shows of athleticism to avoid projectiles was a common sight in particularly ancient iron age conflicts where arrayed ranks of light, often young, javelin, bow, or sling armed skirmishers screened armies before melee combat began. Some even argue that Homeric warfare, that is to say the likes to occur during the Trojan wars, was quite like this.

      As projectiles got faster and technology around bows and crossbows improved it probably became less and less feasible for skirmishers to operate in the open as opposed to behind shields or other cover.

      Also. Vibing out to the music.

      These bow and arrows aren’t that strong right? Meaning they don’t travel long distances. Reason I say that is because at the aend of the video it looked like they were at least 90 feet from each other.

      I wonder how many casualties have been taken and how long this beef has been going on for lol
