one day I was on this post and I read a post, I think it was titled somthing like, who is this guy. anyway there was a link to u-tube and there was an old movie taken back in the early 40s of a guy riding on top of a car shooting a long bow at a target. How would I go about finding this post again. Kasper
sounds like the wilhelm brothers.
Walt and Ken..does this look familiar?

That link is really cool. Thanks
that wasn't the clip I was talking about but I sure enjoyed it. I,m a archery history buff and any thing on the wilhelm brothers is bound to be interesting. They had to be the all time archery characters
i think i seen that one to, on you tube did it have some girls in it to???? if so i think i came across it searching howard hill on you tube.... it wasnt him but i think that howard hill was in the title...... i cant get on you tube from this pc or i would try to find it for you...... hope this helps
That old film you are talking about was unnamed but the archer was Frank Garsky. Frank was amazing and even in his 90's was still pulling a 75lb bow. I watched him shoot tennis balls out of the air as launched them with a tennis ball machine. If frank was at a shoot back in the day Howard Hill would leave because he did not want to get beat!
Forgot to mention that if you search Youtube under "dangerous archery tricks" you will find that video.
I just saw that the other day he tied a string to the steering wheel and had a bunch of ladies with him.If you do you tube and search for how to make a longbow I think it will be in the side bar.
I think this is it...

COOL
this is amazing not only did someone find the video but found out who the guy was, + a really good article on the wilhelms. maybe these computers are'nt so bad afterall.
The fellow in the clip above with the babes and riding the car isn't Garsky. He may have been in other clips, but that isn't him.
