Believe it or not, Texas A&M football helmets cannot withstand the force of a 70-pound compound bow. The result is, well, death…
Do not try this at home!
Yee Yee Life is an extension of Granger Smith’s lifestyle brand, which stems from his alter ego Early Dibbles Jr. The 2011 video boasts more than seven million views on YouTube and skyrocketed his career.
‘Yee Yee’ became the calling card for Dibbles, a.k.a. Smith, who recently retired from music to serve as a Southern Baptist Minister at his local church. He also founded the Yee Yee brand, which has become synonymous with faith, freedom and the outdoors. It’s a big deal amongst country folk.
The term “Yee Yee” is an exclamation used by hunters, anglers, and rednecks worldwide for just about anything. For example, if I caught a big fish or shotgunned a beer, I might then yell “YEE YEE!”
Anyway, Yee Yee Life serves as Smith’s redneck fantasy factory. It’s kind of like if Dude Perfect went kuntri with a k.
One of Smith’s brothers (I think) recently put a trio of helmets to the test in terms of durability.
He stood 10/15 feet away from a Texas A&M football helmet, motorcycle helmet and Vietnam War helmet with a 70-pound compound bow and let it rip. The Aggies’ helmet never stood a chance. The motorcycle helmet was surprisingly in tact and prevented the arrow from going all of the way through.
Of course, the war helmet was the most durable.
Although I genuinely do not know when this knowledge would be applicable, I am very glad to know that a football helmet cannot absorb the force of a weapon used to hunt massive bucks. Should a college football player wander onto hunting land while in full uniform, he or she needs to be on high alert!
