I wish larp was more coordinated and not like airsoft, which is people walking around and not knowing whats going on. I wish there were more like reenactment fights.
The link doesn't work anymore, and I reallly want to play an archer after seeing you play! Could you update the link, or point me in the right direction?
It would be cool to tie a training elastic band to the handle of the bow and another to your drawing arm so that every time you draw it feels like your drawing a bow that is way heavier than it actually is and give you a light safe realise so you don't hurt other players.
My biggest question is whether or not you have to use period appropriate bows? I have modern recurve bows that I would love to use for LARPing, but I don't know if I would have to buy a trad bow to do it
Depends on the game. Some games, classes have abilities to go insub (out of game basically) and can go reload. Most of the time you can just go pick up you own arrows. Unfortunately, he couldn't safely run around to collect (I assume) and during the first part, got legged and couldn't move. Also, usually, you have to have your Arrows specifically marked with your name or logo. The reasons for this is obviously to be able to collect your arrows afterwards and also just in case your arrow accidentally hurts someone or something like that. Hope that help :)
I like the French and English background chatter, it truly seems like a skirmish between two sides. I know they aren’t against one another but I think it’s still cool.
Ok there is two clocks by that tan building. When you can get to it you activate your sides clock. (this turns off the other sides clock) After the time is called for the game, which ever side has longer on the clock, that side wins.
Hi my friend! Great video showing a lot of what archery is like there - if you don’t mind, had a couple questions: 1. Any reason you don’t carry a sword as well for point blank defense while arching? Just personal style or is it frowned upon? 2. How big of a quiver do you suggest, and how many arrows do you usually carry on to the field? I’ve seen the backpack quivers that hold 20+...wondering if that is frowned upon. 3. Any other tips for a first time Bico archer this year?
recently I have heard that the round head IDV arrows are banned and they are approving the flat head ones. I may be incorrect - but I believe that the B3IS arrows are good for Bico. www.b3is.com/shop/2-125-Diameter-LARP-Arrows-p109506428 I think IDV makes a similar arrow - but am not 100% sure on this.
I keep watching this video series over and over - I want to go to Bicolline so bad now... Looks like the plan is to go to the Battle of Bicolline in 2019!
you can pick them up off the ground, but always check them before firing. at the end of the scenario there is a big arrow pile and you sort through to find yours.
Great video! I do have a question. How did you get such decent audio with the gopro at the intro clip? I'd guess that you're not using the waterproof case which does inhibit the camera's sound.
Christian Kierans it’s a bico rules thing that no one is super clear on. You’re allowed to go respawn after you’re killed, but you have to wait for the fighting near you to stop. It’s not a hard rule so it gets interpreted a number of ways. Some people also don’t want to walk back and are waiting (hoping) for a healer
I had my first LARP archery experience last weekend - and I delivered no headshots! I was proud of myself for following your example! I am trying to get to Bicolline as soon as I can. I need to get my passport, and may not be able to this year.
some systems encourage head shots they do this mostly to encorage wereing hellmits but they are very strict on arrow controll no home mades no screwons or arows bellow certan diamiter and check evry arow befor you put it in your quiver or shoot it your choise wich
