Loved it...especially his research into the technique...made me mentally redefine ancient battle.
A mounted Mongol must of been something to behold.
Archery never appealed to me before but this sure as hell does.l

I have a guy that works for me who competes nationally in archery. His shooting is outstanding. Because of him, I had gotten to the point where I was seriously thinking about buying me a bow and starting to practice with it because I was truly impressed with his abilities to make shots with a bow that were truly impressive.
Videos like this one, reinforce my desire to learn the "art" of using a bow.
He must have incredible muscle memory to call upon for many of those shots.
His cyclic rate of fire in some of those shots were faster than some people I know can change magazines.

Lars is a world class athlete...his vision and reaction time is amazing.
What I find fascinating is his research and re creating lost techniques that make tremendous sense when viewed.
He's rediscovered lost history. Applying this to ancient battlefield analysis might change many of our 'we thinks' to something else.

His study of the historical techniques is one of the things I like the most about him. Since your OP, I have been checking out other sites concerning him and archery.
Thanks for the post...very interesting to say the least.

Same here, I immediately wondered if some of those guys during the battle of Hastings in 1066 were grabbing arrows out of the air and then shooting them back at their adversaries.

Better yet, how about 1,000 mounted Mongols.

There was a program on Netflix called "Reclaiming The Blade" that discussed how western civilization departed from swordsmanship and such with advent of gun powder, much more so than the eastern world. The show discussed how swords have always been kept alive by Hollywood and the theater. The Lord of the Rings movies have really played a major role in the renewed interest in swordplay in recent years.
Now it seems there are western martial art schools throughout Europe which focus on the bladed weapons, arts and tactics of old. I thought it was an interesting show. I'd like to see someone do more with this.

Every afternoon, two guys used to duel with broadswords in full plate armor at the Royal armor museum in Leeds. It was fast and shockingly (simulated) brutal. One of the guys did a standing backflip while wearing the plate to show that the Hollywood portrayal of the heavy knight was false. Those guys were superb athletes and scholars of the sword.

Here you go, TS. Now you can have the best of both worlds. Martial arts with swords and martial arts with guns.
