Thread: Speed archery

Looks like fun!

He is good but think about all the cut off scenes to get to a perfect 6 min video.
That style of shooting is really only for entertaining crowds not really practical in a hunting situation unless you chase your preys on a horseback.

Cut off scenes -> yes probably, but that's just part of practicing to get that good. Even if you can do it repeatedly now you wouldn't bother showing the thousands of failures over the years while practicing.

He's definitely a showman, but good on him for showing what can be done. There will doubtless be archers who can out shoot him at regular paced archery by a huge margin, but he's into speed not accuracy (although he's got accuracy down pretty well too).

I'd want him on my team next time we larp.

And of course the obligatory Spoiltsport Teardown, as if we all needed reminding not to take this impressive bit of fun too seriously
