He carried our avenging steel over the Rhine,
He drank the emperor's toast from the Danube.

Dude received enough injuries to kill like 10 people yet somehow he didn't die. People often comment on how he looks fat for a Special Forces soldier. That picture was taken in 1981 after he had already left the army and had been in and out of hospitals for years to fix all those injuries he received on May 2, 1968.

When I was in service I had this fat guy in my company. Everybody made fun of him, even the staff until we got to the obstacle course for the first time and everybody saw him tore through it like it was nothing, on first try, wearing full combat kit.

in short he is using a bow that would do nothing to anyone back in the day. its one thing to do what he is doing with a light bow as opposed to one with a 100lb or more draw weight and war arrows.

Horsebows were actually more lighter in draw than yeomen warbows used in England u uneducated swine, it was not about penetration, it was about massed volleys of sharp sticks flying towards you. If you re-watch the Andersson-clip you'd notice that most of the stuff he recites is from cultures that relied on and therefore refined the term "mounted archery"



Also the subject was ancient archery and not "a form of archery that lasted about a century or two before replaced by firearms"

Because as a sport it's actually really boring to watch more than once

You could say that about all ball sports then
