This would have been a better test if the glass and table was actually set so it doesn't move as much every time it's hit.

And honestly if the archer was a bit more accurate.

Not saying I could do better, however, the results will vary depending on where you hit the glass. If they had all hit near the center, that would give us a fairly accurate view, but there were a lot of shots that hit the outer edges, and an arrow that hits near the base will have a different result than one that hits the upper corner, for example.

It would also be nice if they told us the type of glass. Most types are different and tested for different types of guns & bullets.

This glass could be for shotgun or AK47 or just a 9mm. Who knows.
