Lars Andersen: a new level of archery
This is one guy I'm proud to call my countryman. He can not only split an arrow with his own arrow, but do it to an arrow flying towards him!!
And this is very far from his only remarkable skill, watch this.
You might like this Howard Hill video - it's very of its time, though (you'll see what I mean). They don't go into any history like this video, but he does some cool "trick" shots.
The least accurate depiction of a archer has to The Lord of the Rings movies. Legolas (and other elves) was always doing it sideways, gangsta style. I doubt that would work, and even if it did wouldn't work better.
Ouch!! Personally, if I see an arrow coming my way, I'm going to RUN LIKE HECK!!!

ReplyDeleteToo bad Mockingjay 2 wrapped last June. Anderson could have made an awesome stunt double for Jennifer Lawrence in some of the urban battle scenes.
