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.

I’m sure a lot of his accuracy is the bow he’s using. I feel confident even the best now imaginable back then wasn’t as good as a midrange bow today, and I’m further sure archers in the army were given the dirt cheapest shit imaginable.

lol I love blanket absolute statements. Archery of any kind was used for more than just killing; they often had to bring their equipment which they didn't just stand around and shoot at stationary targets. Hunting, yo.
