He could probably surprise a couple guys, and stick them before they reacted, but a third guy's going to finish him. And if he tried some of those stunts with broadheads, he'd bleed to death from practice.

Watch the video again. At one point he has a whole handful of two bladed broad heads.
I shoot a longbow and I am intrigued by his methods. I know when I was a kid and just messing around when I picked up a bow, I would want to put the arrow on the right side. Have any kid pick up a bow for the first time and that is what they will do. That is much faster and eliminates a lot of the archer's paradox. Thus, you can shoot pretty much any arrow from any bow and don't have to worry about spines and all that.
Another thing everyone will do is try to pluck the string as a draw method. That is pretty much all you are doing with a thumb ring.
In short, his method and the ancient methods seem a lot more natural than what we do now in traditional archery.
Pretty impressive skills for sure. Makes you wonder how good the archers really were back then. I shoot a recurve sometimes but never tried anytjj go outside the orthodox manner of shooting. Bet it takes some time to get anywhere near that good though.
That was a very interesting video. I don't think ANYONE would be better armed with a bow. What I do think is he has learned how the bow was best employed in battle in the days when the bow reigned supreme. Very interesting video.

Some of the guys at the Fort. Dodge, Iowa Horsebow shoots were very good and on a horse at the same time. The Mongolian horse armies were unstoppable in open country.

SOMEBODY please tell TRH that Netanyahu NEVER said "Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away."
Cool video CJ, many many moons ago I read a book that told of a Indian that would catch his enemies arrows and shoot them with it, of course I thought this was just a tall tail but now it looks like the story has some merit.

Lars is hell with a bow...but if you look closely and watch his movements, he's actually a bit of a klutz, coordination wise. He has hand-eye down well, but he moves like one of those guys in high school who were always picked last for any game involving a ball.

I have a hard time calling a guy that can grab a flying arrow a clutz, or one that can shoot an incoming arrow out of the air.
Heck, I ain't looking at my copy of "Rip Ford's Texas", the memoirs of the Ranger Captain of that name, but that video brings to life his description of rapid-fire Comanche arrows, fired from a bow held horizontally in the hand, shooting by "instinct" rather than by sighting down the arrow.

He says that the ultimate trick is to shoot at an incoming arrow and split it in two. What's to keep the incoming arrow from splitting YOUR arrow in two?

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
The only reason that guy would beat 99% of pistol shooters is because 99% of shooters suck balls at shooting a pistol.
I don't understand your point. I agree 99% of shooters can't shoot. That is why he would beat them. If 100% couldn't shoot, he'd beat 100% of them.

I gotta wonder how much this guy spends on arrows....

felt like I was watching Lord of the rings and the blond haired pointy eared guy got a haircut and his ears fixed
really enjoyed watching that, thanks for posting Marlin
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
after watching the video again, I have to ask - is everything this guy does legit or is this some elaborate video prank?
catching an arrow out of the air? shooting an air in the air with another arrow?
That's like comic book super hero stuff.
more power to him if he's legit - I'll be the first to say the man is amazing.
ive seen others do it so guessing he is one of the few that can......if you have excellent hand eye coordination and the arrow is being shot from a lower poundage bow catching one isnt as hard as it sounds....not easy by any stretch but far from impossible

Suspect the lens was chosen to make the shots look longer but really cool in any case.
Then there was the episode where Tred Barta goes goose hunting. They edited in a couple shots of the guide who was about to explode trying to not laugh his ass off.
