Robin Hood & Legolas, step aside....

The production value needs quite a bit of help...reminds me of those QB promo vids where they throw footballs it into moving shopping carts from the upper stadium seats.

 

 

Lars Andersen has spent a decade honing his archery skills to levels seen only on medieval battlefields, using ancient texts and tapestries for guidance. This video shows the 50-year-old firing at moving targets, from moving targets, using his feet, spearing soft-drink cans, hitting the ring-pulls from soft-drink cans, and much more besides. He can even catch an arrow fired at him and shoot it back in one swift movement.

To capture his grand finale — splitting a moving arrow — took years of preparation and 14 takes. The trick, he says, is to hit the target arrow just behind the head so that the shafts fluctuate against each other, splitting the bamboo (while not flinching at the thought of impending death, of course).

[Johnny Rockets]

Last time I tried to shoot an arrow it fell harmlessly next to my feet and almost behind me. 

 

 

The guy looks a bit awkward when running around and jumping but he sure can shoot an arrow.

The splitting an arrow mid-flight took 14 according to the description.
