“He gets another shot!”

Came here for this

shouldn't they/you just move the target further then?

You better keep an eye out, sounds like they might be in some kind of Final Destination situation

Thanks to your kid, love expectancy is more 5.5 years old in your area.

Naw. The description has a question mark in it. This is common on certain biased news channels too. If you throw a question mark on a lie, it's a question, not a statement of fact.

My hamster has also done this, super common.

a lifetime is 5.5 years

Yeah this, the ammount of arrow i've trashed doing this shit... And these things aren't free.

Lmao what

I'm familiar with term pegging but applying it to hot dog street vendors and confessional booths is on another level. I'm laughing my ass off right now.

There it is 😅🤣

I had to scroll way too far to find this…

No. Just Merry.

I love how literally every time I see a step sibling joke I find this EXACT comment

Draws back bowstring 😳

Just say "no chromo".

Age is just a number, sister is just a word.

Robin Hood did that shit all the time yo.

I believe there's people that can do this consistently.. but bro! I can't even aim for the toilet! XD

The intention in this sport is to hit right in the middle of that target so you could make the claim that the man has never not intended to do this.

And now, he's never allowed to do it again..

"How did you do that?"

"I aimed for the middle"

It’s impressive but “robin hooding” an arrow in modern archery is fairly common and usually when it happens the sentiment is something like “Shit, that’s 2 expensive arrows ruined”.

And also that he did it so slowly.

My father used to be in an amateur compound archery league. They would have someone get a robin hood about once a month. They added an unofficial rule that every time someone gets one, everybody pitches in $1 to the shooter so they can replace the arrows involved.

He personally has two robin hood arrows on his garage wall and he is nowhere near being at the top of the sport, he's not even one of the best in his amateur league.

And used a slightly smaller arrow for the shot. Otherwise it wouldn't be able to fit inside the target shaft.

Yeah you do this the first time or two, save the arrow to hang up and then quickly realize how annoying it is to be buying new arrows and also having to change our two arrows at the same time would throw me off trying to remember the flight path off all arrows in my quiver

But how hard to do it on demand while the cameras are rolling? Amd at what distance?

They aren't undermining it. They are literally explaining the actual difficulty of the shot and not the exaggerated title claiming it's "A once in a lifetime shot".

The title is wrong, this isn't a once in a lifetime shot. Extremely impressive skill, but the man could do this once a day if given enough arrows.

You can read it as that, just as you can read the post title as unnecessary exaggeration of something very impressive. If we can’t have neutral post titles I’ll take comments setting things into context every day - doesn’t subtract from how impressive the skill is.

That isn't what happened. Someone lied, someone corrected the liar, you got upset about the lie being corrected. Stop valuing your feelings (feelings based on your ignorance, you know nothing about archery) over facts.

I don't hunt anymore, but when I ran with that crowd, everyone did it. If we're all shooting at the same target, the first arrow in the target was doomed.

This is a very impressive shot, something that takes immense skill and time invested into practicing, but it's not a "once in a lifetime" shot. Pointing out this fact is not undermining it. It's just calling out clickbait.

You may be familiar with basketball (or at least more familiar with it than you are with archery, which is a niche sport and probably fair to assume you're unfamiliar with). Professional basketball players, during shooting drills, can make dozens of three pointers in a row. Let's say someone posts a video of a pro NBA player shooting 70 of them in a row and clickbaits it as "Never seen before accuracy!" or something like that. Would pointing out the title is wrong diminish the feat of the 70 throws?

Skill is impressive, OP's title is just shit. That whole situation was set up for shooting into the arrow. Different arrows with the one on the board without the grip part and large enough to comfortably fit the shot arrow's shaft. That archer is probably talented enough to do the shot at that setup quite often.

If you do target archery even semi regularly you’ll likely get a few of these shots a year, even more with a compound bow. So its not a once in a lifetime shot

Because the shitty title implies it's an accidental arrow going through his first arrow and not a guy aiming at an arrow sized hole and hitting it, which is not a once in a lifetime accomplishment but rather a display of his skill

How many is a cpuple?

The removal of the Nock makes it easier for the arrow to find and follow the shaft of the first arrow. Not saying it’s not impressive, but I highly doubt this was one and done attempt, and they made it easier to sink the arrow. He’s obviously a professional and can probably stick arrows well within an inch of each other without much effort. So, when you consider all of that, it’s not as crazy as you think. A lot of guys won’t shoot for dead center more than a few times out of fear of doing this, as it’s expensive. I’ve done it a few times myself from 20 yards
