Lars Andersen is a great archer. The point of this video is to show you that Lars Andersen uses modified wide nocks shaped like a V to improve his fire rate especially for making a YouTube video. Actually he uses both normal and modified nocks, depending on how many arrows he is shooting. He is very skilled. The problem with these nocks is that they increase your chance of dry firing which is a safety issue with warbows.
Fire rate for combat is more relative to how strong you are, because you need to keep in mind that the draw weights archers were pulling for warfare are usually above 100 pounds, because enemies historically wear shields and armor. Most of the time spent is pulling that draw weight. Lars Andersen pulls a 20 pound bow. There is a big difference. He can penetrate chainmail because those chainmail depicted are not riveted chainmail. Also chainmail are known to be weak in preventing arrow wounds. This is because you can design an arrow with a head that is very very small designed to penetrate specifically chainmail. Out of all the things, why did he shoot chainmail, armor that has holes?

I attempted to interview him when I was in Northern Europe. Unfortunately he declined saying that his technique will be kept "secret".

There is no single " The Lars Method", or set in stone tutorial on his technique because he shoots many ways depending on the situation, and his archery has many variations.
Lars is a great archer. Many people are wondering how he can speed shoot arrows so fast. This video is not about his claims, this is about explaining his usage of wide gap nocks.


I am no expert. The whole thing is very complicated.

I am done with speed archery. The speed archery community is full of young people who are very sensitive, many who only believe what they see, and not thinking about the scenes behind. I interview bowyers and archers now for this channel.
