Footage of Howard Hill
Anybody have any footage of Howard Hill Shooting???
where can i get some?
here is something i read in a encyclopedia
He would perform by doing difficult trick shots like shooting an apple off of someone's head from as far as sixty yards, and then topping that by shooting a prune from the same distance He put out several short documentaries on archery, often featuring himself performing other trick shots like shooting a flipped coin from a distance or splitting a rolling ball made of wood. He would also sit on the ground and push his bow with his feet while pulling the arrow back; even from this position he was able to hit the bullseye.
His role as stunt archer in the film The Adventures of Robin Hood (in which Errol Flynn plays the title character) allowed for a famous shot of the movie, in which Robin Hood splits an arrow from knot to tip. In an episode of MythBusters, nobody was able to replicate the complete splitting of an arrow, and it was revealed that Howard Hill was able to accomplish this only because the arrow to be split was made of bamboo, not wood.
