So you thought it was impossible?

We've all seen that movie where somebody falls off a horse, or get's knocked to the ground and mid fall they manage to launch an arrow from their bow right into the other guys head....We're all thinking "yeah right, throwing the flag out on this one."

Well apparently everyone was wrong. It is absolutely possible, and apparently, once upon a time, was relatively common practice. (Not necessarily that exact situation, but being able to accurately shoot whilst falling.)

I give you world class archer, Lars Andersen, who has rediscovered ancient bow techniques that will make you question why people ever bothered with gun powder in the first place.

The whole video is worth the watch, the crazy stuff starts around 4 minutes.

I'll stick with a gun..... bows are just damn difficult to conceal. And the first time you sit on one of your arrows will be the last time you carry "concealed bow"......
