Too bad you did not get to know the other avid bowhunter on here before he left.

Impressive....but:
1) No way in hell he can catch an arrow - Mythbusters busted that one
2) No way in hell he fires 3 arrows in 0.6 seconds
3) Splitting an arrow on a blade is dubious

He's got wicked skill, but some of that is History Channel-level liberalization.

Catching an arrow is not impossible. They tried that experiment again and some ninja caught it.

Took him multiple tries - not something that would ever have been practiced or mastered as a technique. They proved the arrow travels too fast to react after it's shot - catching the arrow involves guessing to start closing your hand before the release

Exactly. And 99% of the rest of us could not do any of that once.
