Real Medieval Fire Arrows! (Sorry Hollywood). Apr 16th, 2024. Medieval fire arrows were real! So I followed the old books, made some and tested them in every way I could think of. We have loads of old manuscripts, pictures, drawings, fire arrow heads and recipes of fire arrows but because some people haven't looked at the old information and can't make them work, lots of people think they were a myth. You see them everywhere in films and computer games so it is easy to dismiss them as a modern popular culture affectation - they were as real as you are. So this film is an exhaustive description of what they were and how they made them work, woven through with a series of tests and demonstrations and showing the sources. If you want to know about fire arrows this is the film for you. 00:00 Intro and highlights 00:38 Burn Duration Demonstration 02:05 Safety Warning 02:35 Hollywood loves fire on a stick! 04:12 The evidence and archaeological record 05:39 Construction of fire arrows 07:58 Lighting and shooting process 09:00 Close up burn 09:56 Distance test 10:34 Shooting a target 11:00 Shooting in a field battle? 11:51 Tod Cutler advert.
