Lars is a retard. English longbow had such incredibly high draw-weights (100+lbs) that the skeletons of archer were deformed and they never fired at specific targets, archers instead getting on formation and firing volleys
Meanwhile he's using some dinky 30lb bow and doing needless flips

He said he never uses a longbow because he simply doesn't have the strength for it, and neither do most of modern archers.

> that the skeletons of archer were deformed
I won't begrudge him wanting his bones un-deformed

>Maybe Lars is just a trick shooter and the lady is right?
Lars is just a trick shooter.
he just happened to make some dumb statements to portray himself as something else.

though fast drawing could be used on the battlefield

They were deformed because of shit nutrition and no training of the other side.
Modern weightlifters could pull 100lbs like it was bnabbyweight, and suffer nothing from it.

There's the simple fact that his dinky little bow, often only party drawn, would not be able to penetrate the chest or face of just about any armour worth wearing, never mind dealing an incapacitating injury.

Nu Sensei pretty much sums the whole thing up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHZFZtsKBro
He also makes a replay to Lars Andersons second vid. Overall most people in the Archery Community are pretty meh about Lars Anderson. Lars honestly is a Trickshooter, and probably not even the best. But I don't think he is inherently malicious. He jut a guy with cool skills that make a cool video, based on "assumed" history.
