Hollywood’s depiction of archery often seems, dare I say it, not terribly realistic. Sure, Legolas shooting a dozen orcs in half-a-dozen seconds without even looking is pretty damn cool, but nobody, not even pretty pretty elves, could actually do that, right? Bows just don’t work that way! <br /> <br />Well, it turns out the archery feats you see in movies actually are possible, and then some – Lars Anderson claims to have rediscovered secret ancient archery techniques, which sounds like bullsh*t, but you can’t argue with the results. <br /> <br />Have you ever seen Hawkeye shoot the head off a plastic bear while operating his bow with his feet? I didn’t think so. Did Legolas ever hit six targets in a row while on rollerblades? Uh, I’m not sure how that situation would have come up in Middle-Earth, but hell no. Lars, you’re my dork warrior hero.
