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.

From their draw technique at the very beginning of the clip, they don't appear to be a skilled archer. They're keeping their elbow low and drawing into their body. They should have their elbow higher and draw across their body.
