I’ve featured “don’t try this at home” videos on this website before, and this one certainly falls into that camp.

Obviously, the 1.5-minute Facebook video below from Barbwire Outdoors is simply meant to be funny,  but as many archers commented after watching the clip, things could have gone south. Like many of those who commented, I didn’t think the guy would actually fire the bow — wrong!

Thankfully no one was injured making this content for social media. And this is just my opinion, but let’s pump the brakes a bit on producing similar videos. This one could have ended badly for the shooter and cameraman.
