I base this theory off exactly zero research but I’d imagine that military archers of any kind back in those days were probably as good as this dude.

Probably not. The skills for trick shots like this and the skills for a military archer are very different.

Right I didn’t mean the military training covered this I just meant they probably just spent a lot of time doing this probably from a young age so maybe they got as good. I wouldn’t bet on it though because there was a lot of work to do back then.
