Some fancy shootin' there.

Well according to his profile on You Tube he's from Norway.

Tim, that clip has been posted at least a half dozen times here on Trad Gang...no one knows who he is, and there's a lot of speculation about the 'editing'.

Seen that tape on youtube. Theres a question like Terry said about editing, but if you've ever taped someone shooting from behind, the distance always sems "Much" greater on film then actually shooting. The width of a standard house is only about 30 to 40 feet, thats under way 15 yards.
I did a video of my 8 yr old and is only about 12 yards. LQQks much further then that on tape.

What I'm getting at is I'm not convinced it was edited.

The kid shoots great form and under 15 yards I feel it is way possible.

Yeh, I'm not saying he's another Hill but he's good.In the opening shots he makes several shots and then zooms in on the target , the group is VERY good. I don't think that's been edited. Plus on his You Tube comments there are the normal Knot heads cussing and such but one guy from Norway comments that the kid is the Norway Jr Champion.
 Even at 15 yds, I know I could never put 3 shots inside a bottle top.

Well in the differant scenes he is shooting from 3 differant spots.One is in the walkway,the next hes between the walkway and the garage(on the grass) and the third hes at the end of the garage.The target is away from the white fence behind it.Then theres a picture of the target with the fence just behind it several feet. I think theres some hanky panky here. In the first shot scene though thats totally believable.

In the first shot scene though thats totally believable.

If that is, the only one thats real. My hats still off to him.

I suggest you watch it again as it is clearly fake.

For example, the first group of shots, when the video starts there is a white mark clearly in the centre of the target, when he zooms in we see the white mark is in fact the arrows, there is no other white mark there so how can we have seen a white mark before he shoots and zooms in?

[Stone Knife]

I think the white mark is another arrow he had shot previous to filming, he shoots four arrows on film and it looks like there are five in the target, looks pretty real to me. I'm just glad to see the kid shooting a bow instead of getting into trouble somewhere.
