What is the Best Fuel For Fire Arrows?

Fire Arrows are something that has always fascinated me and something that I've always wanted to experiment with. We always see them in movies and video games. Stuff like Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, Far Cry, Minecraft... Pretty much anything with a bow has them.

I figured this whole filming thing would be a good excuse to finally make that happen. The main problem I always saw with fire arrows, and how they would actually work, was whether you could actually get them to stay lit until reaching the target.

We went up to the farm and tested 5 fuels to see which was the most effective. We made some homemade simple fire arrows with t-shirts and wire, then covered them in:

- Lighter Fluid
- Acetone
- Goof Off
- Rubbing Alcohol
- PVC Glue

In the end, we had one result was expected, and one that really surprised us. Stay tuned for a follow up video to compare the top 2 fuels that we found in this video in more intense tests.

Thanks for watching!
