I was going to ask what is the advantage of block building over regular building in place (though I'm sure I've heard the explanation via Discovery Channel, History Channel or National Geographic Channel special on modern mega ship building) but found something that explained it well enough: http://www.marineinsight.com/naval-architecture/advantages-of-advanced-outfitting-shipbuilding/. So now just looking for a further ELI5 confirmation/explanation.

He's on the History channel doing a comedy talk show called "Join or Die".

A steam roller crushing stuff. Who would have thunk?

National Geographic gone the way of Discovery and or the History channel. Playing to the lowest common denominator it seems

What was the broadcast date of that History channel show?

I'd be amazed and genuinely impressed if there was still room for some, you know, actual History on the channel instead of "Ice Road Truckers" or whatever other nonsense. But I bet this is quite old...

@eric3579 I never had an issue with all the details of what he is doing -- couldn't care less about bow strength and armor. I was more curious if he is ACTUALLY DOING IT, or if this was some sort of CGI.

I did find this one article about him, posted Jan 2015, with these two quotes that spoke to my issues:

"This guy is the Clint Eastwood of archery," says Tim Wells, professional bow hunter and host of the TV show, Relentless Pursuit. "Or if I was talking to someone who had never shot a bow and arrow, I'd say he is the 'Bruce Lee playing ping pong of archery.' We have all played ping-pong and none of us can play with nun chucks — that's what this guy's skillset with a bow is comparable to. He's a badass."

Experts agree that the skills demonstrated in the video are unbelievable, but also completely real. "His skillset is tremendous," says Byron Ferguson, owner of the Bare Bow Archery School and star archer on the History Channel's show, Extreme Marksmen. "These shots are legitimate, despite some video editing. His speed is almost unbelievable."

I can't tell if they have met this guy or not, or if they, too, are just looking at the videos. That other "world record"? All I can find is more videos and nothing from Guinness or anyone else.

So at present, I am going to stay neutral as to whether this guy is for reals or not.

Upvote for the History channel actually being informative.

Remember when MTV did music videos? Remember when History Channel did non-alien historical stuff?

They are getting inspired by the History Channel.

History channel, huh? Fuck them.

This is awesome and all. Great vfx, looks interesting and might be the best composition between cg and old video that I've ever seen, but still.... Fuck the History channel.

Reminded me a lot of the history channel, eventually they got tired of telling the same stories of the last century and instead found excuses to feature "historical items" with the addition of the "pawn stars" and other stuff of the like. I'm suprised that they didn't decide to take the opportunity to explain a bit more on the history of bartering, and how people found value in that which was strange and foreign, so on and so forth.
