Don't tell anybody, but to this day I have a faint hope for Futurecraft, or something similar to it, to happen. Within my lifetime.

Holy shit.
Re: Agility >256 archery
Pshff, I remember that guy from way back when he went viral for shooting 5 arrows in 2 seconds.

I don't buy it. A few of those tricks require a ton of skill, but a few of them I don't think even a computer could do. Remember how much trouble the Mythbusters had splitting an arrow? I can't find the episode on Youtube, but IIRC after many tries using a mounted bow and then a professional archer they finally managed to do it, but only after pointing out that arrows in flight actually wiggle so much that it was basically a matter of firing over and over until one happens to wiggle into the right position. The idea that that guy could split an incoming arrow fails a whole bunch of credibility tests, especially given how easily that could be faked--they seemed to be pretty careful not to give you clear views of arrows hitting targets for most of those shots.

He doesn't fully draw, that might explain something.
Not that I watched the video or remember that episode pf Mythbusters very well.

I suspect foul as well but for a different reason, the videos feel all too promotional, moreover any comments from fellow archers are immediatly deleted from the vid as said in the description.

Re: Agility >256 archery
I do suspect foul with those "don't try at home" things.
That he invested heavy training and studying into performing archery more close to historical military archers, which ultimately means that he can shoot more mobile and considerably faster than a normal modern-day sports archer, I do believe.

Speed, yes. But still bad then.
I commend the speed, and severely disapprove of everything else.
