Victory awaits the one, that has everything in order - luck we call it
Defeat is an absolute consequense for the one that have neglected to do the necessary preparations - bad luck we call it

I would be lucky to hit a barn door with a arrow standing still let alone running around trying to fire one.
Great skill..It would be good to invite him to the local village archery club. He could run up the Elm tree on the village green, put 3 arrows in the gold, and somersault back down before the Vicar and the lady from the Post Office had nocked their first arrow..
I'm right handed but have to shoot left handed due to an old shoulder injury so much like Ian, I'd need to start by aiming at barn doors. Oh and having watched the video, I need to learn to roller skate too.
Thanks Rune - I enjoyed watching that.

Im feeling to find me a good old english yew and make a long bow...
Some shafts of hazel for my arrows...
Feathers are easy enough to find...
And possibly back to my useless knapping skills for arrow heads...
Been some years since I made my last bow...
wonder how useless I will be at it lol
I think he was just just lucky with that last shot (splitting arrow in flight) and then saying it was planned. I will shake his hand if he does 3 times in a row.
Otherwise he's def' got some skills

The only bit of that vid I think I could learn in a week it using both hands... I hold slingshots in my right but a bow in my left...
Shouldnt be too hard to adapt with a little practise
And I thought some of the traditional flat-bow shooters here in the States were good...

I just saw this vid on Friday. That is some dedication to a craft!
My jaw dropped when he caught the incoming arrow and returned fire with it.
He should be the next Marvel super hero.
