A Scissor Bill Gar doesnt even exist...

this article says nothing about his extensive hunting experience, like the fact that he hunted african elephhants with a longbow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.130.62.234 (talk) 12:32, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Seems that a source better than "Stickbow.com" needs to be provided for "greatest hunter of all time" claim. I'm going to modify that claim. - BeeSteeBoy (talk) 23:38, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

split arrow theory
There is a lack of citation regarding how the arrow was split in the scene from The Adventures of Robin Hood. While I have no doubt of the skill of Howard Hill, there is no verifiable evidence given that Howard even made that shot. I've broken nocks on arrows several times shooting at short distance - more than 1:10000 shots certainly. I offer another explanation - the shot begins showing a single arrow in the center of the target. The next frame shows the next arrow having split the original arrow, but the nock of the original arrow held together with string. The final frames have the string released, and the split ends "twang". Unfortunately I do not have a frame-by-frame reference to lend support to my theory. I have not seen the Mythbusters TV episode to see their analysis either. --71.82.64.203 (talk) 00:42, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
