- tharkun__ 4y agoLars Andersen does a lot of "crazy" stuff with archery that people would probably not believe can even be done. But it can. You may think what you will of the "stunt" aspect of it (I'm not a fan) but it doesn't change the fact that this is definitely possible. It may also seem "impossible" because you don't see Lars using what people might expect of an archer: a compound bow. You really don't need it. You can get incredibly accurate with a traditional bow, especially on the short distance you see in the video. Source: I shoot traditional bows.

- Bakary 4y agoThis is exactly why I believe Lars: from everything that I can deduce about him, his driving force is to prove that he's correct about what can be done with traditional archery.
- bombcar 4y agoHe’s like the Stonehenge guy with weights and balance - cheating would entirely be pointless because it would defeat the whole point - showing that it could be done.
