Love the girl crouching a few feet from the target, a lot of trust or dumb

He's great, no doubt, but check out Byron Ferguson.

Amazing skills, and trust from the girls! Made my stomach clench every time, but he pulls it off. Impressive, but I don't think I want to try that next time I'm out .

The difference in Archers today like Byron Ferguson and archers like Pope and Young, Hill , Bear and other earlier pioneers of Modern Archery is the time frame and progress that has been made ,
If those earlier archers were using modern bows and arrows it would be truly amazing I think .
Don't forget that modern glass lamination was patented by Fred Bear himself he worked on gag process for many years before he perfect fit .

Archers of Hill's day were still using linen for how strings for instance ,

Default Greatest is when you don't miss

The Wilhelm brothers made several trick shot films .

Every archer misses now and then which makes the Wilhelm brothers dangerous shots , very dangerous !
