I have read critiques of the Lars video that suggest some these 'stunts' were recorded many times and that while he is certainly fast his real life accuracy is not very good. Also there has been some commentary that there are historical errors in the commentary. I'll dig them up if you like.

And I certainly wouldn't be surprised that the videos only show the successes. He seems to be wanting to show that it can be done and emphasized that he hasn't the lifetime of training or the physical conditioning that the top archers in previous times went through.

Did you know that when an archer missed his mark in the olden days, somebody would always holler, "Sinner!"?
Because that's what it means........
To sin means to miss the mark or fall short of the required standard. This term comes from a competitive game of olden times where archers would, in turn, aim at a distant target. If they hit the target, they were allowed to continue to the next round of the competition. But if they missed the mark (the prescribed target), they were called sinners, and were immediately eliminated from the competition.

I've been shooting a bow since I was 12. One thing I can tell you about Lars bow is that it's a relatively light pull weight bow. That lets you shoot it fast and accurately. But it doesn't penetrate as well. Also the shot where he turns and shoots the other arrow out of the air, that's only possible because of the relatively slow speed of said arrow. My guess is that arrow is traveling around 120 to 140 ft/sec. Sounds fast but my modern compound that I hunt with, shoots over 300 ft/sec. I would like to see him shoot that one out of the air..."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer

Hey Cath: Turns out there's an archery range just a few miles up the road from us operated by the county. Maybe they have classes or programs?"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

I prefer recurves and longbows. Longbows are fun!
FYI: I'd guess his bow at 25 - 30 lb. Certainly not higher.Last edited by Teallaura; 02-02-2015, 03:21 PM."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
