Very, very cool. It's fun to see people who have a passion for something and push themselves just to see how far they can possibly go.
My cousin is a three time state champion in archery:longbow. He was telling me one day about instinctive shooting and how to pull and release all in one motion. I bought my boys all bows and arrows and we've been murdering strawbale orcs. It's a ton of fun, and the boys have caught on amazingly fast, especially the 6yo!
When I lived in S. America in the late 90's, I saw lots of kids running around with "Honditas", little slingshots that just hooked on their fingers. They could hit anything with them! Really cool.
So yes, an Elf *ahem Legolas ahem* should be able to at least match Lars after several centuries of practice!

It appears that most of this stuff was bunk. Read about it

When I watched the video I didn't care about all his nonsensical chatter about historical archery, or whether or not he had mad parkour skills. Also, I know just like every other video on the net, including any video by the guy debunking the story, people don't show their missed shots - just the ones that make them look good.
What I saw in the video is a uncoordinated, not particularly fit guy shoot a lot of arrows in a very short time with at least enough accuracy to hit multiple targets in just a few seconds. You can say he just shot a lot of video and got lucky, but ask yourself how lucky do you have to be to hit 3 or 4 targets successfully in less than a few seconds. I don't care if I shot video for 100 hours straight I doubt that I would ever hit so many targets in a row that fast. And he has more than just one demonstration. He would also have to get that lucky for the other 10 or 15 demonstrations he showed.
What I see when I watch stuff like this is what could someone back in an era when archers were elite fighting troops, who trained their whole life, could do with a bow if this dork could do what he does as a side hobby.
