Yes, but he is still awesome. All of the shooting is pretty cool.

I'm assuming you are speaking of Howard Hill in Robin Hood. If so, I agree!!!

Yup, how many archers do you know of had this happen to them?

Quote:

- Drew 35,000 spectators in Grants Park, Chicago in 1941, where the crowd tore the shirt off his back, and took his arrows, bow and quiver as souvenirs.

You may also want to check out the small clips of him shooting that I recently posted here:

Yep uncle Howard taught me quite a bit. I think my dad was twice as good but he just never went for the lights of fame!!

You can tell he hunted in a different era! Shooting eagles with a bow might be frowned upon now. I also doubt taking down a bull seal (though large) would be so difficult.
