To find out more about dodging an arrow, go through this entire article and learn about it. So, without any further ado, let’s begin.
So, When You Can Dodge an Arrow?
Mostly it will depend on the distance between you and the archer and which type of bow is used. One important note, if you are not able to notice that something is coming toward then it will be hard to dodge that thing. If you are at such a distance where the arrow can be pointless then you can dodge it successfully.
For example, if the archer has released an arrow using an older bow, then after 20 to 25 meters, it can be pointless and at that time you will be able to dodge it. What if the arrow is released from a compound or a modern-day bow, then it will require more than 30 to 40 meters to become pointless.
And When You Cannot Dodge an Arrow?
The dodging ability depends on the reaction type of human. A human can react within 0.2 seconds but on average 1.5 seconds is needed. When an arrow is released from a bow, it takes a second to reach 50+ meters. So, if you are aware of it then you can dodge it otherwise you won’t be able to dodge the arrow. Also, if you don’t have enough feasibility, for example, the distance between you and the archer is less than 25 meters then you won’t be able to react and the arrow will reach you.
