Well folks, I’m impressed. I’ve been messing around with bows and arrows for a good long while, even make my own equipment, but that takes some serious practice and natural ability far beyond my humble efforts. Hats off, the young fella can shoot.

Quite! I saw this a day or so ago in another place. Even assuming that there were many takes recorded in order to assemble the best into the video... It’s still amazing.

I’m impressed by his research into the historical manuscripts, much as we do in ARMA relating to swordsmanship. There’s gold in those documents. They were written by people who were professionals at their art, with many hundreds of years of experience guiding the state of the art at their time. Then it was largely ignored and lost after the dawn of firearms. It’s illuminating to discover that sometimes everything we think we know about some familiar subject is just plain wrong. Especially when it’s done so convincingly as this fellow has done.
