The classic longbow and this classic movie franchise inspired many Halloween costumes.
Legolas is one of the first fictional characters people recall when thinking of archery in the fantasy genre. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Verdict: The actor’s skills and techniques were tested, and he passed. Hanes confirms that would happen with a razor-sharp broadhead, which he has experienced firsthand. Once released, the arrow goes straight through the intended target-the villain-and sticks into the wall behind him. The character steadies his aim and blocks out the surrounding noise, which Hanes agrees is vital to a good shot. Hanes said that helps the bowstring slide in a straight line off the fingers. When it’s time for the movie character to make the big shot, he first coats his fingers in resin. Hanes notes the shot’s difficulty, which requires shooting over the trees and then dropping into the target. The movie character who’s in charge of the test proves he can do it by landing two straight arrows on a target beyond some trees. Matt Stutzman now holds the world record at 310.15 yards, but Hanes’ shot remains impressive. He once s hot a balloon at 237 yards, which beat the previous world record of 219 yards. In this clip, the characters discuss who can nail a 175-yard shot, which Hanes knows something about. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword The character in “King Arthur” coats his fingers with a resin to make the string slide smoothly off his fingers. There were flames and explosions everywhere.” “I said, ‘Hey, just testing out the new Rambo broadheads,’ and people thought that’s what it was. “I shot an arrow through a propane flame, into a paint can,” Hanes said. Hanes re-created an exploding arrow based on that scene. But this is Rambo, so Hanes predicts he’ll make the shot. In real life, that would render the sights useless. As Rambo nocks an explosives- tipped arrow, Hanes sees Rambo tilt his bow even though it has sight pins. “A pistol at this distance is tough to be accurate,” Hanes said. Hanes smiles as a familiar scene appears on the screen, showing the villain confronting Rambo with a pistol as Rambo wields a bow. In fact, in at least one case, they went beyond belief. They took time to train their actors, and turned them into credible archers.

Some movies and TV shows that Hanes reviewed benefited from homework, and represented archery well. He fully approved some scenes and characters, but said others missed the mark. Hanes dug into the archers’ form in each scene, and didn’t fudge his opinions.
That’s why GQ called on him to review archery techniques used in movies and TV shows.
