what's going on here then?

I recently came across this picture when doing an image search and wondered what was going on?



The image appears to be attached to an interesting article, unfortunately it's in Russian. If you fancy having a go at understanding a poorly translated version of the web page to find out what our Russian cousins have been up to it's here;

Ow my head

[simon m]

is it about clicker's?.

simulating clickers or summat?

[TJ Mason]

Nah, it's about onions!

For objective detection care onions has been specially manufactured and used "Radial simulator devices and poses arrow."

I THINK it's about setting up some light sources that make it easier for an observer (or maybe for the archer) to know when the archer has moved off aim when reacting to the clicker.

Wonder if onions should be bulbs

Only a guess, but it could be the poor-mans video analysis: set-up a couple of mirrors in strategic positions and watch the results as you shoot.

Kevin,

Trust you to find something like this......try doing some work instead!

It is obviously a solution to Furface's problem (see other thread) of arrows shot with a clicker going left. He needs to eat more onions. QED

This image is even more frightening

i believe onion is a mistranslation of the Russian for bow,

a shame really as I quite liked the idea of "sports onions".

Hint: there are much better on-line translation engines out there
