Okay so i was browsing the internet searching for a physics blog topic when i came across this video of a korean man shooting an arrow with incredible accuracy. Now i don't know if it was luck or if he is just a really good archer, but it doesn't matter because the video is still awesome. So when looking at the path of the arrow, a lot of physics comes into play. The arrow leaves the bow with a high velocity directed parallel at the ground, but due to gravity, the arrow will start to be pulled towards the earth, the longer it is in flight. The archer has to account for this effect and has to adjust his shot in order to get maximum accuracy. The arrow needs to be perfectly centered in order for it to go inside the tube. Even friction comes into play, between the bow and the arrow, and the tube and the arrow. Pretty much, this video is a good way to waste 3 minutes if you've got nothing better to do besides study for physics.
