Just watch this video (all the way through please) and let me know.



This dude is seriously talented and hardly has any subscribers.

This is the thing with all these trick shot videos.
You don't know nor do you not see the amount of times they miss.
So this being real is amazing, but he could have taken like 1000 shots before he hits what he wanted.

Archers are able to do incredible things when the bow draw is tuned to a child. Looks amazing and takes lots of practice, but these guys wouldn't be able to do anything close with a real bow and arrow.

Pretty much this, it makes it look easy for him. Its real shots, but he probably took hundreds of attempts, especially with the ramps

This sort of stuff is fun to watch, but I always want to see a montage of the (likely) dozens and dozens of failed attempts it takes to make these trick shots.

Editing like this makes it seem like he's nailing these on the first try, which is highly unlikely.

Notice how completely calm he is on every shot after he hits it. Its cause he's trained himself to know not to celebrate like he just tried 500 times.

Wouldn't it be the opposite? If someone was trying FOREVER to do something they would be filled with excitement and gratification for finally doing it. Now if the person was able to do something over and over with ease, then it would feel like it wasn't a big deal.

What FreezePeach is saying is that he's probably not showing excitement on purpose to sell exactly that narrative, like it wasn't a big deal.
