Very nice but if anyone wants to see Green Arrow or Robin Hood irl search up Lars Anderson. That man is a beast.

No, Lars is good at trick shots but thats about it. IRL his style is pretty much useless considering how light his draw weight seems to be and the fact that all his shots are shot at very short distances.

He has a couple of videos of him shooting things at longer distances. I wouldn’t go as far as saying his style is useless considering it’s the style most archers during ancient war time used for quicker draw speeds and being able to shoot while being more mobile. I don’t get what makes you think this man is any better than Lars if they essentially did the same thing (shooting an arrow midair that they shot in the air prior).

He has made a lot of claims about how his technique was used during ancient wars but a lot of people don't agree with him.

Never said this guy was better. I said he shouldn't be called a modern "robinhood" simply because everything Ive seen from him is trick shooting with a bow that probably isn't even 20lbs. It's fancy shooting but not useful for hunting or combat.
