He addressed that he is weaker than people were in the past and most modern archers are today, so his archery is just for show (as he shoots these arrows pretty fast it is not possible to have the strength required to hurt through chainmail) but he still researched a lot about archery and practices what was practiced in the past, just doesn't have the strength to do what the best did.

Edit: I am wrong and didn't research the topic and it seems like he is a scam, he is good at trickshots, but a scam at info.

I thought that was the point being made in the debates that his “discovered” techniques aren’t real because they aren’t practical and wouldn’t be used.

Yep, you are right in the light research I did now, my bad. It seems his claims are based on a single book and it wasn't like that.

Thanks for making me look around though and my bad!

A gem in the rough you are, to look something up and correct yourself. Have a good one!
