Title: What Rapid Shot Looks Like...

...in real life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o9RGnujlkI&feature=youtu.be).

This is one of several reasons to be scared of archers.

Cool video and yeah agreed on the rapid shot.  I'm trying to figure how she gets her nocking hand out of the way of the string.  Looks like maybe she holds the arrow with her thumb and index finger, and when she draws it back her other fingers are above the nock.  Still, takes some dexterity to get her fingers outa the way at the right moment.

Oh, and what language was she speaking?

Now I know where you're video hunting grounds are  ;)

Given the address for the nocks she uses, I'm guessing she's speaking Russian.

I'm interested the strength of the bow she uses, she makes it look very easy to pull it.

the 1st video.... pause it when she is at full draw. Her hand is upside down and she has pulled the string back with all her fingers.... somehow holding the arrow in the thumb and index finger.

I think Enzo just found his next love interest. I wonder if she is a druid..... ;)

This is what happens when a bunch of Redneck Boys get together with a bow.
