[Blizzard]

If you haven't seen this, this guy is a freak:

 

[CDG]

Damn.

 

[Red Flag 1]

WOW!!!

 

[RackMaster]

Seen this floating around facecrap but hadn't watched it yet. That's insane...

 

[Grunt]

Serious devotion to the art of Archery and a lot of practice and muscle memory.

Very cool indeed.....

 

[x SF med]

Grabbing an arrow out of the air just blows my mind. I have to wonder how he went about training for that, including how many times did he wind up with an arrow sticking out of his arm?? Who ever was launching the arrows at him, must have been pretty adept at this. I don't know anyone I would try that with. The more I think about this, the more impressed I am.

 

[Wench]

That's hot.

 

[Betenhauser]

Arrow on arrow violence. Sweet. In all seriousness, that's some Green Arrow s--t!

He blew my mind by grabbing an arrow out of the air. He fucking suicide bombed it by SHOOTING an arrow out of the air with another arrow! This guy is nuts!

 

[Ooh-Rah]

So this is the one guy who SHOULD bring a bow to a gun fight

 

[CDG]

3 arrows in .6 seconds? That's fucking insane.

 

[Mac_NZ]

That guy uses a bow better than most Infanteers I've seen use a rifle!

 

[policemedic]

And he's a LARP'er. No shock there.

Awesome skills.

We, as ignorant, superior thinking, modern people don't realise or understand the skills our ancestors had. Their technology and skill was far better than we give them credit for.
This is an awesome display of that.

Not to mention the seated "quick draw" with head shots to 2 targets! Are you friggin' kidding me?!

agreed.... and it's hard to be effective with 2 feet of arrow impaling your chest....

Absolutely. The Parthians perfected a horseback technique where they would feign retreat, luring their enemies to chase, and then turn in the saddle in unison and fire arrows at their pursuers while at full gallop...The Parthian Shot...has come down to us as "the parting shot."

Andersen has resurrected a lost military art.
