Just read on a news website that a South Korean archer that is legally blind broke his own world record in the ranking rounds. Apparently he is able to detect the color differences of the target and that is enough!  I always thought it would be a great idea to gentically breed deer to grow a discreet fluorescent orange "patch" of fur right over their vitals.....
