World's Greatest Archer?

[NightTrain]

This man's abilities are absolutely jaw-dropping. He's been practicing for 10 years.

Watch this guy - he can fire 3 arrows in 0.6 seconds and hitting his target while he is in the middle of a running jump. He can grab an incoming arrow out of the air and fire it back. He can actually split an incoming arrow with one of his and the incoming arrow was fired when his back was turned.

If there is a more impressive archer, I have never seen it.

Oh, there's a lot of showmanship going on here, no question about it.

But anyone that can fire 3 arrows in 0.6 seconds or hit another arrow flying toward him is damned impressive.

Admit it, NT. That's YOU, isnt it?

GUY MAY BE GOOD BUT HOWARD HILL, BRIAN FERGUSON, FRED BEAR AND HOWARD PEARSON were better.

Want truth about archery watch these videoes. Lars does trick shots but using ligthweight draw bows.
The video is a great misrepresentation.

Doubt me , then watch those videos at the 3 links given.

Trick shooting takes talent and great discipline.
However , very possible that if out shooting game animals I could outperform him.
Also many of his statements in the video are patently false. -Tyr

p.s. A case of misrepresentation and some false assertions..
by the way he doesn't show how many times he shot to even hit the incoming arrow, does he?

Howard Hill shot the arrow splitting shot that is so famous in the Robin Hood movie. He did it the first shot!!!
Archery I know like the back of my hand.
Also the shot Lars is sitting and shoots across the table hitting two opponents lightning speed, he simply must be using a 15 to 20 pound light bow. Such bows were far to light to use in warfare.


Watch this if you want to see truth. Ancient archers were often raised shooting bows from the age of 4 or 5 years old!
They shot very heavy war bows, usually in the 90 to 120 pound class. Such takes extreme skill, strength and discipline!
Lars would have been laughed at by them. A fact..
Trick shooting impresses those with little knowledge on the subject in my opinion. I've shot bows, even homemade bows since age of 6 years old. My grandfather was Native American, I'd put him up against Lars in a archery battle any day.
Heavy bows that are designed for power/battle are totally different to shoot that light weight bows he used.

Speed with bow that is of battle weight.
