lol I love his response to using the bow in Mass Effect rather than Skyrim... "Oh." Classic. It's great to watch nerds being awesome around people who completely don't understand them XD
Only done archery at Ren faires. This video makes me want to go to someplace more up-to-date. The most valuable lesson that I have learned from this video, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER when retrieving your arrows do you walk into the target. Good to know, the guys at the Ren faire never mentioned that detail. Thanks Felicia and Morgan.
This chick is really good at making videos. Like this is over 4 years old and the style is still cutting edge and holds up today. And Fullerton that's cool I used to live there.
I came across this episode randomly again and it made me realize that I missed hearing the Flog music. It does grow on you. :) I know why you stopped making the show, but perhaps you could squeeze in at least one double length one per month? I am sure you could manage that. There still have to be a few achievements to unlock. :)
It is always fun watching someone who is out having fun and not trying to train. They had no anchor point, just pull it back and let go. It seemed like they had fun and let's be honest when you get that 10, it can feel like a good time to go home. Cheers.
That was awesome :-) I always enjoy the extremely random stories (elf clans, FTW) that Felicia insists on building into her (extremely) random experiences.
I know what the bracers function is mate considering I have been an archer for 14 years. It is called a bracer for the very reason it braces your flesh for the impact of the string on your flesh IF you loose the arrow incorrectly, very much like the tab used to protect your fingers and the flesh between your thumb and forefinger, they are precautions against mistakes.
Oops ! I missed an episode . So it was a double dose of AWESOME ! I have forgotten about that sandeep episode of guest flog . Love Morgan Webb and her elf ears . Your ears were also awesome Felicia . Keep up the great work ! I would have you on my zombie apocalypse team or Orc attack army .
***** I see you browsed my posts. I am a pervert? damn right i am!. all men are. some just keep it hidden while others are more vocal about it. When i am not on the internet i usually keep it to myself, and am very uncomfortable talking about sex.
I just love how you ladies walked away from the target and no worries if there are a few bad shots in your elven world I'm sure a few 1000 more arrows would blend in nicely lol
Archery segment made me think of the "Texas Sharpshooter", who fires a bunch of rounds at the side of a barn, then paints a target around the biggest cluster.
Are you that epic nurd that is in supernatural who does some larping helps defeat levarithans and goes to wonder land If so if I I was a girl she would be my hero
sage She is the larping girl from Supernatural. That was my first introduction to Felicia. You should check out Tabletop, another one of her channels where she plays games with Wil Wheaton.
This comes from a 16 year old who has ONLY shot bows by myself and with my inexperienced dad, all the wrongs they did will be listed here: 1. They taught them how to pull the string and hold it wrong. 2. THEY USED FUCKING SIGHTS. 3. YOU DO NOT *Repeat* DO. FUCKING. NOT. LET GO OF THE STRING, IF THIS IS DONE, THE STRING WILL NOT MOVE NATURALLY IN A STRAIGHT LINE, MAKING THE STRING WOBBLE AND THIS MAKES THE SHOT 50% LESS ACCURATE. 4. TIE UP YOUR HAIR. It will get stuck on the string sooner or later. 5. The range they were shooting on is WAYYYYY too short, a normal arrow takes about 18 meters of flying BEFORE the arrow stops fish-tailing. Thank you for reading and may the force be with you, young Padawan.
You said what I thought. I'm doing archery for about 4 months now, I know all the basics and they did it all wrong. It's a shame, it would make it a lot more fun and less painfull to just know the basics right.
- Using sights isnt "wrong". It's just a different style of archery, which differs in several ways. Though I agree that this is probably not what they had in mind. - Likewise there are different ways to hold the string and not all of that has to be related with what they taught them. They may have simply done it wrong. Besides, that was not a real training session, more like a rough example, so mistakes are perfectly normal. Aside from that though, they really forgot a lot there. Felicia should've used a lefthand bow, since apparently her left eye is the leading eye (can be seen on 5:26). And the thing with the hair can be pretty nasty.
Tajin Valorian I am aware of that it was not a real lesson but seemingly it is Felicia Day and she wanted to know how shooting a bow and arrow like in the fantasy-games would feel. This is spoiled by the fact that sights are used here and because of what I've previously mentioned about the range that they were shooting at, it is way too short to actually let the arrow flex like it has to before it picks up the path and flies completely straight towards the target. This makes their shots way, way less accurate than they appear to be when they are aiming and shooting.
Okay well I've been shooting for 4 and a half years now, and im a partime instucter, so im here to tell you why youre wrong Okay, so first of all, you NEVER take the piss out of other peoples tecniques or disaplines, techniques vary, if you look at the dutch, Korean and Japanese (generally considered the three best country's of archers) their techniques are vastly different Secondly, sights increase accuracy, and you know... Competition, instinctive is essentially chance Finally, dry firing doesn't off set your string, it damages the wood fibres in your limbs Okay now you proved your own statement, don't tell people what they do wrong when you do not know yourself
i know this is old but I'm buzzed and i want to comment. First off their draw distance is all wrong. It should be thumb to lip. Ideally you have a kisser on your string which hits the corner of your mouth at full draw. In traditional (otherwise known as medieval) shooting styles, the mark is the knuckle of your thumb is even with the cheek bone. If they did this, both would have much better accuracy. I'm surprised the coaches did not point this out, as it is a crucial part to successful archery.
CallMeCorleone its string to lip, not thumb, your thumb rests under your chin, depending on what tab you use. If it's the tab which has a little shelf for your chin like mine then its different. Plus the draw distance depends on your limbs and string, if your limbs aren't the right length for you it totally blows everything off, hense why the taller you are the longer your bow is ._.
+Mcartemis3000 Ah - you're both right - it doesn't matter which you use as long is it is consistently and you can develop your shooting style accordingly and repeat it shot after shot. I've used both a release with compound and a tab with recurve - and with each I've had to develop a different shooting style. I love each weapon but I really prefer to hunt trad now.
NorthForkFisherman never got into hunting trad, how is it? I can make the shots I need to on the butts but I havent brought it into the field for fear of folding to buck fever. I just feel more comfortable on a compound bow having grown up on it. Any advice?
CallMeCorleone The usual - practice, practice, practice. Focus on a good release and you'll improve dramatically. What do you use? tab or mech release?
WHY IS THIS CHANNEL ALWAYS IN MY FEATURED LIST??? I DO NOT WATCH IT OR WANT TO WATCH THIS PLEASE HOW DO I REMOVE THIS. EVERY SINGLE VIDEO ENDS WITH THIS CHANNEL WHAT TH EHELL
where did you guys get those elf ear? I was thinking of getting some longer ones for my blood elf cosplay. but I would also like the smaller ones for whenever I'm too busy to think about my ears getting caught or pulled by something or ppl
I really hate to mess up the vibe by giving an actual tip, but.... When you draw a bow you select an anchor point; usually the corner of the mouth or the corner of the eye (don't worry it doesn't hurt). Every time you draw you draw back to this point then your "sight picture" is consistent and you can adjust your next shot based on where the last one impacted. I hope this, my Elfin maiden, helps in the defense of the kingdom.
Archery joke that this reminds me of: On one side of a barn is a whole load of targets with arrows in all the bulls-eyes. On the other side of the barn is a whole load of arrows with a man carefully painting targets around each one.
If you ever decide to do this archery thing again. Quick Tip: Draw your arrow back to the corner of your mouth. If you can't do that then the bow is too strong for you or if the arrow comes back too far you need a longer arrow. But the anchor for the arrow is the corner of the mouth (for beginners at least). then just release your fingers and don't follow the arrow with your hand. works wonders in shot direction, accuracy, and general shot predictability for the shooter. :) Funny vid though,haha
I couldn't get through King's Quest 5 as a kid so I gave up and forgot about the game for 27 years until I remembered it existed a few months ago and promptly watched a TH-cam video on how to beat it :)
i remember doing archery at Camp Krystal! funny enough, a military training base was across the lake from us, lol. But it was loads of fun and I hit the bullseye maybe 2 or 3 times. GO WEBB CLAN!
Can you imagine tagging along on one of her shopping trips? -Hello and welcome, how may I... -Avaunt FIEND! You are in league with the black sorcerer! -Wha? Sorcerer? -YES!!! And I am an elf maiden here to find the magic dress! *GLEE* -Wha, who, wha? -My spell of confusion worked! *Skips down the aisle towards dresses*
I believe you would aim better with both eyes open. Also, there was no discussion regarding dominant eye. I went to an archery range and found I had been using the wrong "handed" bow because I am left eye dominant. Although, pulling with my left arm feels really awkward.
I love how the two coaches were looking at Felicia and Morgan all the time like "What the hell are those two nerds talking about?!" :D
lol I love his response to using the bow in Mass Effect rather than Skyrim... "Oh." Classic. It's great to watch nerds being awesome around people who completely don't understand them XD
I just realised she wasn't playing Charlie at Supernatural. She is Charlie. Only the name is different.
I noticed that too
+Biene Marvin *SPOILER ALERT* and that's probably why they chose her. too bad she died tho
Imagine some like me that knew her before, when she freaking appeared on the show my mind was just blown
Vsauce says hi
+Luigi master cute profile pic
+Luigi master lol i was gonna say that
and sub
Luigi master 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol i was about to say that (then i saw that has been 2 years since your comment)
"This look more like a bow I would play in Mass Effect vs Skyrim..."
".... O.. kay..."
Priceless!
Wow! Morgan was truly majestic!
thanks!
You're welcome (8 years later)
Yw
What are you thanking them for
Your welcome! Bit late ikik
292 people are crazy.. Felicia and Morgan together in one video, who could ask for anything more.
Vsauce says hi 8 years later :)

@@damonleeb danggg lol
Damn it’s been a while
I imagine those coaches were despairing in the background, Felicia vaguely pointing at the target and closing one eye was hilarious!
They're making the people who work there feel awkward hahaha
Okay... first thought... Morgan and Felicia 3 doesn't get better. secondly I laughed too much. You were indeed majestic like unicorns.
man, it's nice to know the former x-play members have gone places.
By far the most amazing thing I have every seen in a flog yet!! Loved it! That archery trainer was like what?! It was awesome! You ladies rocked it!
-How do I let go of it?
-Just open your fingers.
-What?!
Cute.. :P

When our Supernatural fandom is slowly taking over the whole world 🙆🏻
Slowly but surely
One of the great things about archery is it's a sport that anyone can try! Hope you ladies have been able to practice again since this video!
I love the "....ok" comment from the archery coach
I'm here for Morgan Webb she is just 🔥🔥🔥
I don't give a shit

The fancy term for the armguards is vambrace.
Yep, looks like I'm gonna stay here for a while. Hot damn!
I haven't seen morgan and felicia in a long time

Vsause sent me 😄
Me too lol
That was awesome :-) I always enjoy the extremely random stories (elf clans, FTW) that Felicia insists on building into her (extremely) random experiences.
04:08 history of my life, talking about nerdy things that people do not understand.
Two beautiful elves, a lovely human instructor (plus an insignificant human coach) shooting arrows....LOVE IT!!!
I was so sad when Charlie died in Supernatural... T^T Damn it Sam!
Felicia & Morgan: *geek speak*
Employees: Okay?
Webb and Day. Just like Smith and Wesson but with bows. Totally badass and some good form with the draw from Morgan.
i love morgan webb omg

Wait is that Charlie from supernatural?
That's what I'm asking
Totally is.
That's what I thought too
it is
Yes ❤️
Very fun episode! Felicia and Morgan should really try out Archery Tag sometime: Fun, fast-paced paintbally-style gameplay but with bows and arrows!
"click subscribe cuz i just told you"
me: o-oh o..okay 'click'
Oops ! I missed an episode . So it was a double dose of AWESOME ! I have forgotten about that sandeep episode of guest flog . Love Morgan Webb and her elf ears . Your ears were also awesome Felicia . Keep up the great work ! I would have you on my zombie apocalypse team or Orc attack army .
Felicia, you have to pull the bow back farther next time. Get more power.
and just like that the fires of morgan webb have been rekindled in my heart after all these years
I want to see morgan webb in more sleeveless shirts. I kind of have a shoulder/arm/armpit fetish.
You seem like an online pervert creep !!
*****
I see you browsed my posts. I am a pervert? damn right i am!. all men are. some just keep it hidden while others are more vocal about it.
When i am not on the internet i usually keep it to myself, and am very uncomfortable talking about sex.
Can I just say I'm incredibly jealous that you have an archery store with its own shooting range in your area?
Morgan looked so elegant and also hot.
watchingrob why cant you just leave it at elegant
Because that wouldnt be how I really feel about it.
Honesty IS elegant. And yeah, she looked really good
+RebirthWoWGuild, because he's a pervert.
RDR911 Being attracted to someone is perverted? Wow did you grow up with religion?
I just love how you ladies walked away from the target and no worries if there are a few bad shots in your elven world I'm sure a few 1000 more arrows would blend in nicely lol
At first I was like, "Hey archery." Then I was like, "Hey, boobs."
"Looks more like a bow and arrow I'd play on Mass Effect than on Skyrim".. "oook". I lost it XD I don't know what I just watched, but it was awesome.
Charlie!
Alexander Archangel Yeah I know!!!
Archery segment made me think of the "Texas Sharpshooter", who fires a bunch of rounds at the side of a barn, then paints a target around the biggest cluster.
Screw Morgan and Felicia, I'm more interested in that lady with all the archery tips.
I know right? Daaaayum.
I stopped reading your post 4 words in, and I'm down. Bring them to my house. Now. My wife will be cool, no worries.
.... seriously, where are they?
Probably be more successful in TH-cam than those two.
My crush has a crush after watching this... I love how the 'coach' drew a blank when Felicia mentioned Mass Effect.
Are you that epic nurd that is in supernatural who does some larping helps defeat levarithans and goes to wonder land
If so if I I was a girl she would be my hero
sage She is the larping girl from Supernatural. That was my first introduction to Felicia. You should check out Tabletop, another one of her channels where she plays games with Wil Wheaton.
If you like Felicia you should check out The Guild. Some of her older work. It's glorious
I’m not a girl and Felicia is my hero
Fantastic to hear someone online who remembers the KQ games
Vsause sent me.....he say says hi......
This was a lot of fun. Yay, I love Morgan Webb.
A pretty girl with elf ears that talks about playing Mass Effect and Skyrim? Oh yeah... subscription time!
Love this episode!

Have you tried not giving a shit?
I recently learned that my husband took archery classes for about a year when he was a teenager. I need to go learn.
I love that you guys have a whole backstory to your elves.
Te coach's reaction to your geeky awesomeness is brilliant
I don't know why but at the end when you pretend shoot the bow then say 'right?' it's made me laugh. So thanks that was nice of you.
omg Morgan Webb and Felicia Day in the same video my life is now complete!
this is like the sweetest show ever
My god, they are both GORGEOUS!!
GOD DAMN IT I MISSED THE STREAM
where did you guys get those elf ear? I was thinking of getting some longer ones for my blood elf cosplay. but I would also like the smaller ones for whenever I'm too busy to think about my ears getting caught or pulled by something or ppl
Yep. That's her. Check out The Guild if you're curious about seeing more of her work. Really good show.
I...I think I just stumbled onto the best channel I've ever seen.

I always get so happy watching Felicia Day xD like a bubble of happiness!
You just gained a thousand awesome points for having played KQ!!
My god this vid was absurdly amusing. I love u both FD & MW!
I love that she played King's Quest- that was such a great game!
Why is this just now popping up in my suggestions?! This is great!
Felicia: "This looks like a bow I'd use in mass effect not in skyrim!"
Archery trainer: "...ok?"
I couldn't get through King's Quest 5 as a kid so I gave up and forgot about the game for 27 years until I remembered it existed a few months ago and promptly watched a TH-cam video on how to beat it :)

'This is more like a bow from Mass Effect than Skyrim'
That face of pure confusion will stay with me. :P
Greatest moment in the video! I love that guy.
your ploy has wrought me unto this point...well played. and stuff
Can you imagine tagging along on one of her shopping trips?
-Hello and welcome, how may I...
-Avaunt FIEND! You are in league with the black sorcerer!
-Wha? Sorcerer?
-YES!!! And I am an elf maiden here to find the magic dress! *GLEE*
-Wha, who, wha?
-My spell of confusion worked! *Skips down the aisle towards dresses*
I believe you would aim better with both eyes open. Also, there was no discussion regarding dominant eye. I went to an archery range and found I had been using the wrong "handed" bow because I am left eye dominant. Although, pulling with my left arm feels really awkward.
OMG I called the hotline for Kings Quest when I was younger too! ...yay for being old -.-
Hi Felicia, what was the draw (pull) weight of the bows you and Morgan used?
