anyone remember the trick shots that were at the end of the weekly tv program, "American Shooter"? that guy was crazy. and he made the longbow himself too.

he used to have someone throw up aspirin tablets and he'd shoot em out of the air. he'd do ricochet shot off walls and things too.

all these guys are crazy talented.

Archery has always been really important in Korean culture, and I think they just continued it into modern archery.

no offense, but what does their nationality have to do with it?

A friend in high school was an archer on the junior Olympic team, and he had stacks of arrows stuck down the shaft of another. I'm not saying it doesn't take skill, I'm saying it's not all that impossible for someone who trains.

Those guys obviously spent a lot of time and effort to get as good as they are.
Well Koreans have long dominated archery in the Olympics and the ASEAN games but I never knew they're THAT good!!!
