I like this technique and it has validity - I think particularly for horse archery, where you'd risk unbalancing yourself if you had to reach to a quiver for each shot. However he is sacrificing accuracy for rate of fire - the target he hits at 20m (did it say 65ft?) really isn't anything approaching man/beast sized (unless the beast is an elephant anyway). In a battle situation where you might be firing at a tight group of infantry advancing towards you, it'd certainly be deadly, because you don't really care where the arrow goes as long as it's in the big lump of men coming to stick a sword in you. As a technique for say hunting relatively mobile prey like deer, you'd have more chance of putting food on the table with a more conventional technique. It's a warfare technique, definitely.

Watch Skyfall's hilarious Honest Trailer

So glad I didn't watch all of that film

I have just ordered the film on Bluray!

Major spoilers in that trailer. Don't watch it if you haven't seen the film yet.

Yes but I have amnesia and have already forgotten about the trailer apart from the Frowning M.

It is so true! We very nearly walked out of the film. It has to be the worst Bond ever, even Connery's resurection as Bond in "Never Say Never Again" was better!

I haven't seen Skyfall yet but surely it can't be THAT bad?! Never Say Never Again was a total embarrassment. And worse than some of Roger Moore's later efforts? Crikey!
