    If you hold the extra javelins in your left hand with the heads facing to the ground you can grab and throw them quicker and save yourself a movement. Lift your right foot only slightly and slide it forward while you torque and twist your right hip from back to front in concert with the throwing arm. Stomp your right foot upon release. Turn your body into the gun, the javelins are the bullets. 🧐🤓

    • @ethanpeeler3147
      @ethanpeeler3147 Před 6 měsíci

      People often times talk about how people were smaller then and how nutrition wasn’t near the quality it is now claiming people were weaker historically. While this is probably true in terms of top level athletic sports or pure strength sports like strongman or powerlifting I don’t think this is true when speaking about the common warrior particularly in warrior societies like those of the Vikings. Surely strength would have been encouraged and viewed as noble in societies that were exposed and even encouraged to participate in frequent warfare. Think of modern people and how the vast majority of at least the western world people work jobs in the office with little to no physical labor in their daily life. I’d imagine most people particularly those who were of a warrior class were significantly stronger than the average person today.

  • @andrewsock1608
    @andrewsock1608 Před rokem +4

    By the looks of those sockets the javelin could use a thinner shaft.
    I bet it would go farther but break on impact more often. I guess it’s a trade off of authenticity for durability.
    How far did you throw it ? It’s hard to judge distance on film?
    Vikings often carry three of those in one hand so I imagine they are quite thin in old times. 👍👍

    They should be longer and heavier and you should take a few steps and throw at a high angle. Those are historically accurate so they're shorter and lighter than they should be for a person your size. Great throwing btw very accurate

    Those javelins are designed to lodge into shields to make them unwieldy enough to have to discard. (Your unarming the opponent rather than trying to disable them)

    @consultant2678 Před rokem

    You weren’t throwing them right that’s why they didn’t fly true with force. Used to throw at high school. Watch Olympic thrones on CZcams. Your left hand needs to be free to balance and guide your body angles at target as your right arm and shoulder propel the javelin. You also need to run to build momentum before delivery. It’s a lot of fun. But done attempt to throw a javelin whilst holding some in your left hand as well won’t work well

    The more I see spear throwing videos the more useless it feels. It takes a lot of skill it throw it point first. You can't use full power like throwing a rock because then the orientation is flawed. It doesn't even go that far. Lastly I highly doubt the penetration.
    Could you explore how much power it has? Like can it even pierce padded armour?
    Edit: throwing spear is feeling useless to me, not spearfighting
