It was a video. I think it was something like "Hitting Them Like Howard Hill" or something. Dude was a friend of Hill. Lots of Native bowmen could do trick shots as just routine skill. There are several frontier writers that saw them do it and documented it.

John Shulz did "Hitting 'Em Like Howard Hill". Yes, there are a number of people who can do that stuff with longbows- even me! Though I'm still working on coins and aspirin, bottle caps aren't impossible and milk jug caps are getting easier. Ricochets, shooting in a mirror, out of position and what not. I just need more practice ;D

The old Allen compound bow factory is just a few miles from me. The building sat there for years ,an old white building with red trim had the name Allen Bows painted on the side of it. Somebody finally took the building over and turned it into a flea market,little bitty one horse town you never would of thought that is where the training wheeled bow started.

I watch the Arrow Affiction guy shoot balloons out to 100 yards with a compound. It had nice fiberoptic sites. On the War bow board here, the English are having a shoot where the target is 220 yards away, and 12" dia. with They said Selfbows preferd( as aposed to laminated bows. no sites now thats impresive.
