Holding 45 Arrows: A 1000-Year Record 🏹

I handle 45 arrows in my hand, 15 arrows in hand is the highest number described in history. The arrows are thin, as described in the historical text about holding many arrows in the hand. The shafts are 5.5 mm thick, but it gets quite heavy with so many arrows and requires a lot of practice.

People have often asked how many arrows I can hold in one hand at the same time, so today, 8/11-2024 my 60th birthday, feels like the day to try and test my limits.

Does it make sense to hold 45 arrows simultaneously in your hand in war? the described 15 arrows make good sense, but 45 is so difficult and heavy to handle that it was probably better to take 15 arrows 3 times.

Thank you for watching my videos, and have a wonderful day!
