Watching the history channel, they are talking and demonstrating the Hungarian bow as they shoot it from horseback
They made a intermission historical note that the record for shooting an arrow was done in 1987 with a recurve. It went 4000 feet the length of a 13 football fields.
Wow! I wonder if any flight shooters could verify this. O.L. Adcock is a flight shooter. If he sees this thread it would be nice to hear from him.
I just watched the video on the thread about water buffalo. The video site also had videos about hungarian horn bows. It was pretty cool!

Ah my hero Don Brown still holds the record. God bless him :)
