This pensioner was born with no arms but he has developed a unique talent - learning how to fire a crossbow with his feet.<br /><br />Sriluan Chaimongkhon, 80, spent a lifetime struggling to perform every day tasks like driving and cooking. But he is right on target when it comes to archery and can slay a mango with deadly precision. <br /><br />The great-grandfather showed off his unique footwork at a village sports day in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand last Sunday (June 9).<br /> <br />Footage shows the talented old man sitting on the ground while using his left foot to hold the wooden crossbow and his right foot to load an arrow.<br /><br />He leans backwards to lift his legs up before drawing back on the bow and aiming for the mango, which was set five metres away.<br /><br />The audiences began clapping and cheering as the arrow hit its target. Some of them wanted to try the crossbow but failed since it requires a lot of skill and strength training.<br /><br />Sriluan said: ''I've been shooting with crossbows since I was about 10 years old. My skill was not as good as before but I still like doing it and always find time to practice.''
