____________________________________________________________ - TimBuc1, on 07/15/2009, -6/+54he must get more redneck ass than a port-a-john at a pie eating contest
- RushLimba, on 07/15/2009, -0/+47Forget the sights, mechanical release, drop away rest, carbon arrows, and compound bow. This guy does it with no sight, finger release, off the shelf, wooden arrows, and with a freaking longbow. Consider yourself served.
Watch the entire thing, but highlights: 1:20 for breath mint, ~5:00 for shaftshot

- WordsnCollision, on 07/15/2009, -8/+35But does he also have sweet nun-chuck skills?
- deema1, on 07/15/2009, -1/+26Please. Ever hear of John Rambo?
- divinediva, on 07/15/2009, -1/+25absolutely amazing shot
- zacharytelschow, on 07/15/2009, -1/+25Wow. That's awesome. I have enough trouble with a shotgun.
- feoren, on 07/15/2009, -0/+13Not as impressive (or sexy) as the bow girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wPkWsus3qA
- MacEnvy, on 07/15/2009, -1/+12I have a bow like that, and I can barely hit a deer, let alone clay pigeons.
I'd bet you've never actually tried it yourself. - pegothejerk, on 07/15/2009, -2/+1199.9% of individuals cant keep just their finger pointed at a target, nevermind a complex and heavy device.
- PeterGandalf, on 07/15/2009, -0/+7Howard hill and of course the great Byron Ferguson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epw3XmIiZb8
He does that same thing, except with a traditional long bow, on the back of a truck. He also shoots aspirin out of the air. - Tenareth, on 07/15/2009, -0/+7Is that Jason Stackhouse?
- Bloodwine, on 07/15/2009, -1/+8You take him. I'll take Ted Nugent. He can shoot zombies with arrows and can rock out in the downtime.
- NRay7882, on 07/15/2009, -0/+6The best is right at the end. ". . .god damn. . ."
- ator1, on 07/15/2009, -3/+9This one gang kept wanting him to join because he's pretty good with a bo staff.
- lovemorgul, on 07/15/2009, -1/+7great shots props to to the shooter
- Lonandubh, on 07/15/2009, -0/+6Burried for Inaccuracy. Howard Hill never needed a compound bow with release, peep-sight, stabilizer...
http://www.howardhillarchery.com/the-legends-story ... - pstroll, on 07/15/2009, -1/+7Could've used him at the Battle of the Hornburg
- mikeruiz7, on 07/15/2009, -0/+6Dugg for the pun in the description.
- Andrewticus, on 07/15/2009, -2/+7Man, I know who I am running to in case of a zombie invasion.
- WarPirate, on 07/15/2009, -0/+5Why are all the diggtards bashing recurves??? Learning to shoot recurve is the ultimate challenge. If this guy is this good then he ought to want to be able to do this with a recurve. It's the next step to ultimate skill
- shieldwolf, on 07/15/2009, -1/+6On Mythbusters they looked at wood carved arrows where there is a grain - they showed that the arrow would always break the arrow at the grain and not split it nicely in two and stay. The ones he showed in the video appeared to be synthetic or carbon graphite which would allow one to embed into the other.
- WarPirate, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4Low Tech FTW
- johnomaz, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4bad ass.
- Zera, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4"Consider yourself served."
LOL - WarPirate, on 07/15/2009, -0/+499.9% of the people you know must be flailing morons. I used to teach archery at a camp and I can assure you the vast majority 75-85% of the boys were more then capable of hitting a target with the supplied 20 - 30 lbs recurve bows. Many of them having never even held a bow before. Your statistics are way off base.
The technology today has lifted much of the "weight" from pointing heavy objects. Compound bows of all types are easily shot today without all the fancy gadgets. I prefer shooting a compound do to the speed, power and accuracy, but there is nothing quite like taking wild game with a striped down recurve and no fancy gadgets just your bow and your skill. - jsnchmpn, on 07/15/2009, -1/+4Hell... I have trouble at the urinal.
maybe I should get that checked out... - johnomaz, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3No way, his vocabulary was way to large to be Stackhouses.
- chadsmith729, on 07/15/2009, -1/+4I'm envious, not going to lie here. That's a very wicked shot and I've seen a lot of the sharp shooter shows and all that but a clay with a compound bow? Wow. That's really amazing. Starting off with a .22 at age 5? I'm going to think a little differently when my boy gets that age ... I would hope.
- reverant, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Good, not greatest. You're forgetting about the guy that nails an asprin mid-air with an old fashioned long bow (well not compound).
That guy I think is a little better.
I on the other hand can't shoot anything with a bow without slapping my forearm to hell - dvazgird, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3I'm a lot better with the bow in TF2
- sdcarter, on 07/15/2009, -2/+5When the inevitable zombie alien robot invasion occurs I want that guy on my side of the mall parking lot.
That being said, it's not too impressive. I mean I used to bullseye womp rats in my t-16. Now that is hard. - Cyclozion, on 07/15/2009, -4/+7That's what she said?
- lostarchitect, on 07/15/2009, -6/+9Impressive, but let's see him do it with a recurve bow.
- IAMRaven, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2dude needs to join the military. with him we could save a helluva lotta money on ammo.
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2That's nothing. I can will them to fall to the ground all on their own, then break.
- SookIt, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2I tried this same thing a few years ago and i did not even come close most of the time and think meself pretty awesome with a stick thrower. This guy should do this on Americas got talent or something.
- xutopia, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2I love how they say that his style is reminiscent of the best archer in history... Robin Hood.
Robin Hood is as real as Santa Claus. - jaydark123, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2I'm pretty sure that Mr. Lahey is the Greatest Bow Hunter of All-Time.
- Lonandubh, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Totally. Howard Hill didn't need all that tech crap.
- thavi, on 07/18/2009, -0/+2he's a good archer, not necessarily a good hunter. though i assume he's pretty good at that too.
- a2zb2b, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2I didn't see that Mythbusters episode, but I have seen a ''robinhood" done (not on purpose of course) with aluminum arrows.
- unwiseone, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Hawkeye? Or if you prefer... Green Arrow?
- Lonandubh, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Robinhooding happens quite often, actually. It's just rarely as spectacular as in the story (due to questions of wood grain, and the way modern arrows affix their nocks).
Also, @rahamm: fail for trusting a sample size of what, 20? to prove that something is Not possible.. - Wrightster, on 07/20/2009, -0/+2St.John Kansas
2 hours from my house, I must pay him a visit - strad2, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2The video featured one, very great shot. But it's still just one shot... By this criteria, a video showing someone getting a hole-in-one in golf is the best golfer ever.
And later in the video when he was shooting the small objects with the rifle, they never showed us the results of his shots... So the formula appears to be:
Great-Documented-Shot + Filler = Best Ever - kolobcreek, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2Impressive but how is he on the long shots?
- EvanGH, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2yessss
