"A pip of a shot"............ya gotta' love it!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! These are so rare clips to find. Hill was THE MAN!

What an era!.... ;-)

Great stuff ! Its rare to find Hill stuff I haven't seen ... thanks for posting !

Thank you for showing Love You Tube Videos.Where could I see such amazing videos.

Hear a story a long time ago about Mr. Hill shooting a 2x4 in a cowboy's shirt while riding away on his horse . Don't know how true this is but it's a great campfire story !

Howard did the shooting of the kings men in the movie Robin Hood with Earl Flynn

wow!!! that was cool footage thanks for putting this up

howard hill was the man!

Wow, one hundred and seventy two pound draw. No one making comments here could even pull his bow back. That is more pounds than the English archers used 120 to 150 and they trained constantly. He was a strong guy.

That is insane.... I am a bit skeptical about that lol.

Bad ass archery

Awesome footage bro!

onya Cody !!! cheers mate , Ben

na minha opiniao Howard foi e sempre sera o melhor arqueiro de todos os tempos! gostaria de te-lo conhecido pessoalmente, Mikitiv Brasil.

one of his bows did indeed have a 175 pound draw weight, but I doubt that it would of been a frequently used bow, for target shooting. He did hunt an elephant in Africa though, so maybe that's where the 175 pound caliber came from.

Good stuff!

Who’s crazier the guy shooting the apple off the guys head or the guy with the apple on his head ?🤔🤦‍♂️

That was hilarious!!!!!!!!

The world record is 200 lbs held by Mark Statton shooting an English Longbow.

Did he seriously call her a "dizzy dame"??? 😂😂😂😂😂

1933 and we had super slow motion??

Man he can shoot crazy good

I believe the weight of the bow. Byron Ferguson uses a 70+ lb. bow, and old skinny Fred Bear shot his bows at about 110 lbs. or so. We are all weak these days. For Howard to be as good as he was, I would bet he shot the same bow all the time, never switching for anything.

No...the 175lb bow is what he would use for Africa. He shot many different weight bows. His "everyday" bow was between 115 and 125lbs. I can't remember if he shot the elephant with the 175 or a 195lb.

What a show off!😎

Too bad this "video" was made by pointing a camera at the tv screen.

I don't think insurance would cover that last shot.

Sup Cody

I struggle with 44 pounds and won't even shoot my 50 pound bow more than a few times a session or I will pay for it the next day. Was he shooting a 175 bow the entire time? That would be impressive in and of itself even if he missed the broad side every time.

+Timothy Ryan Fisher That 172# pull was a one-time world record. He did not use this bow regularly for shooting. I do think he used that bow to set his arrow flight distance record.

@@mthompson That makes much more sense lol. I think they were playing loose with the context in this video :)

Hillsey Willsey??? Geeez.

lol @ the end. But I can't believe they really put someone in danger doing that.

Trick shooting might be entertaining but most people would like to see some straight forward target shooting or hunting animals to demonstrate their skills. If you want to see one of the best bow shooters in the country look up Tim Wells hunting with bow videos on You Tube.

Howard Hill hunted over 2000 animals, won like 200 archery tournaments in a row and had outstanding trick shots. I'm not even going to get into the equipment comparison.

165 pound draw..?

Without a doubt one of the best archers EVER !!!! But his bow had 175 pound draw weight ? BULLSHIT !!!!!

Don't try the last trick.

I wonder if today's standards would view this as sexist lol
