Follow the link, and click the trending tab to the right. It is the correct link, but directs to a different place.

My wife just came downstairs and said,"Have you seen this?"  Apparently my granddaughter found it and forwarded to my wife. It's making the rounds :D

That's crazy  I think I will stick to building bows. As Lon as I can hit a deer I'm good.

He is very good. Very , very , very good.
Incredible shooting and I respect the practise and dedication needed to come even close to shooting like that.
Rapid shooting has fascinated me since I was shown the basics in Bulgaria a few years ago. I have been practising for a while now but never really liked the method I was shown of holding the arrows in the bow hand - too many things to go wrong. I will be studying his technique closely for some pointers. Does anyone know a source for the Saracen Archery book?

Many thanks for that. I've found 137 sheets of paper and my printer is going!

I showed Tyke that video, and his response was "**** that guy, He is a ninja. He doesn't shoot like that because he practices, but because he is a straight up Ninja". I kinda have to agree. The part where he jumps and loses all his arrows from his back quiver is by far the funniest thing I have seen in awhile.

I think I would have to practice for a month to loose half my arrows. >:D

I remember some group that shot their arrows on the finger/thumb side of the bow. I think I saw it in a PA article a long time ago. Don't the Japanese or Koreans do this today?

No because they are using Olympic recurves with Mediterranean release....but that's a bit of a generalisation! I'm sure some of them do still use the thumb ring.
A ninja by definition is someone who has dedicated themselves to the achievement of a goal/skill set....just like this chap.

Yes, he is really a skilled archer - but give him a 65# Hunting Bow an a permanent draw to 28" and his magic won't work anymore.
I don't won't to offend him but that is not "Standard Archery".
He is an Artist - but a bowyer is an Artist too.
Nice to see but not really what makes me saying " Oh Good I was doing it wrong for the last 10 years"...
