Byron Ferguson Ultimate Archer
This guy shoots moving objects out of the air with a longbow.
His wife must trust him because she is down range throwing the objects
6:20 he starts shooting tennis balls.
9:30 he shoots an aspirin.

Byron Nelson is a regular on "Impossible Shots". When you realize the he doesn't have any sights, red dots or other aids he is truly impressive.

I shoot longbow and have his book. He is pretty awesome. He is just like Jerry Mickulek, one of those very rare people with an incredible natural ability.

Byron is a great shot and a really nice guy.
But Howard Hill was THE man with a longbow. Not only did Howard do all the trick shooting that Byron did but he also was an honest to goodness world champion target shot and a highly accomplished big game shot as well.
I love shooting traditional bows and especially love Hill style longbows. It takes practice but its not hard. It takes about as much skill as throwing a baseball well if you think about it. Not that throwing a baseball accurately is easy. But if you practice enough you can do it--and nobody puts sights on a baseball.
There are some good vids of Howard on Youtube.

Heck of a shot with a longbow, that's for sure!!!!!
Saw him on "Impossible Shots", doing a 100 yard shot, and hit the CAMERA, straight through the lens!!!!!!!
ETA: The camera that was shot 'through the lens' was (of course) mounted on a tripod, and remotely operated!!
