Comment by Justarandomguy on Genius Archer’s Streaming - Chapter 89

@Justarandomguy yeah. I've been saying this for a while now. Real world curved shorts dont do that. But his is really good abd funny.

@Justarandomguy Yeah but almond can just do it like that. He's almond after all

@Justarandomguy so technically speaking you can do most of the shots he does with a regular bow and arrow but for the 180 degree shots you'd need to make/get special arrows. Look up "Lars Anderson 360" or "Lars Anderson turning arrows" he does a lot of similar stuff to Almond; to the point that I wouldn't be surprised if he was the inspiration for the curved shooting.

@LjSquared incorrecto, that would be Howard Hill, who did curved shooting as one of his various trick shots, which inluded shooting coins in the air, shooting apples off peoples head, shooting with his feet, doing trick shots on one foot x.O; yeah, he basically invented the entire trick shot genre as a major holywood celeb back in the 1930s-1950s He didn't do 180 or 360 shots, of course, but he only used cedar arrows and a long bow. Instead, he'd shoot apples off peoples head while they were hiding behind a tree @.@

@Ethan Elliot I'm sure others have done it before him from what I understand its an art dating back 100s of years but in modern times Lars anderson is generally the person who comes up when you look up curving/turning arrows so I assume he'd be the inspiration unless the author has said otherwise.

@LjSquared "for THE curved shooting" I thought you said "for curved shooting" where Howard Hill brought trick shooting into the main stream and is basically every trick archer's idol. Those he inspired are then the ones that inspire us and so on. When you think "I want to do ___ with a bow" it all started because a rowdy kid that lived in the sticks only had 1 toy when he was 5 years old and decided to see what he could do with it 🤣

@Ethan Elliot ahh yeah I was refering to the story not irl
