| You might want to practice shooting the bow with a 458wm slung on your shoulder. |

I've seen film of Howard Hill using a long bow on a lion, at a full run, across the path of the arrow. Perfect hit.
He was as proficient as an archer can get.
His work is some interesting reading for archery buffs. Well worth your time. |

| Howard Hill that sounds familiar. Was he the guy that could hit the quarters flipping through the air at like 12 paces? Or was that someone else? |

He's best known for his trick shooting.
He also did the archery work for the movie "Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn.
He was so proficient that the stunt men that worked with him in the movie had no risk.
No risk, low pay. That's Hollywood. |
