The Worlds GREATEST Traditional ARCHER! Byron Ferguson's Archery Trick Shots!

Meet Byron Ferguson: Byron Ferguson first became infatuated with archery at the age of 12. He began working as a bricklayer’s helper to earn money to purchase his first very recurve bow. Byron developed his style of shooting by sitting in a totally dark room and shooting the flames out of candles repetitively.

Over the years, he’s developed some insane trick shots like shooting 8 dimes in a row out of the air, shooting a playing card in half form the side, and shooting a clock thrown into the air while blindfolded.

According to Byron, one of the most difficult shots of his career was while he was on the Tokoyo television show Super People. The show sprung the shot onto Byron and he had to shoot an arrow through a diamond ring without any practice- as skill would have it, Byron made a perfect shot.

Byron attributes a lot his inspiration from what some call the best archer since Robinhood and william tell- his name - Howard Hill.

Aside from being known for winning 196 consecutive archery tournaments, Hill was arguable best known for his role in The Adventures of Robin Hood. Hill holds perhaps the most iconic bow-and-arrow shot in American film history which is him acting as Robin Hood shooting his own arrow to split a competitor's arrow already embedded in a distant target.

If Byron seems familiar, it might be because you seen him at an outdoor show over the last 20 years. Mr. Ferguson still to this day is putting on live exhibition shoots showcasing some of the shots we’ve shared here today. At his live shows you’ll often find his assistant and wife throwing areal targets for Byron. You can find his show schedule on his website.

With decades of appearances on various television shows or a simple search on Youtube seeing the 10’s of millions of views byron's videos have accumulated, it’s clear Byron has created a legacy of his own and has helped eep the spirit of traditional archery alive.

At the end day Byron Ferguson is easily on the mount rushmore of all time archers.

For lack of better words, Byron's archery ability is simply unbelievable.

This guy inspired a couple buds and I in the neighborhood while growing up... as we did "try this at home" way too many times...what could go wrong? was our motto.. great stuff!!

[terrymattson]

I had the privilege of talking to the man. Down to earth very nice soul.

[garychynne]

the ring shot on tv is the best shot i've ever seen.

[jake-hofer]

Growing up I remember catching a few of Byron's live shows. I was always amazed by his archery ability. Incredible exhibition archer!

[TheWVgoodguy]

I have never had the pleasure of seeing him shoot his bow 🏹 in person, but have seen many of his trick shots at the end of a show on TV while I was growing up throughout the 1990s.

[jbolin]

Byron Ferguson is amazing. Seen him in person several years ago at the Ohio Deer&Turkey Expo. Truly impressive to watch.

[kaizen]

Byron's wife tossing targets, "Don't try this at home, we're professionals and I'm Byron's 12th wife." 🤣

[jimbigboystoys]

He’s one of the very few people on earth who can literally bring his bow to a gun fight, and actually WIN!

[cashotpb]

Absolutely the best. Grew up watching him on shooting USA

[PeterSolerom]

I'm a big fan of Howard Hill and Byron Ferguson, I hope one day I can become as good as them with the bow and arrow

[peterdarby]

Not only an outstanding archer he is one heck of a nice guy. I got to both watch and meet him at several events probably ten years ago. I even got to eat dinner with him and his wife where we shared some good stories.

[jamesemick]

Had the pleasure to meet Byron on a caribou hunt in Quebec in which we both got nice bulls

[NoahC]

I live in Bama and never heard of him, but glad Exodus told me about him! Haha

[gsmoke]

He is truly the best to ever do it hands down.

[alexsharp]

This man is a great archer and was doing this kind of archery a long time b4 most! Deffo paved the way for guys like another worlds best archer lars anderson! That gut never misses! And can shoot arrows through key holes at a moments notice! And can shoot arrows faster than you can count them leaving the bow!! Makes you wonder at the level of skill our ancestors possessed when their daily survival depended on hitting their mark every time no matter whatever. Shits deep!! And an art!

[blacklandmillennium]

Stimo tantissimo Byron..grande arcere..grande personaggio

[dhooter]

Thanks to Byron I shot an arrow in my dad's three day old pickup. Wooden arrow with old steel broadhead. Attempting trick shots after watching him on the Nashville Network lol. Never forget the ass whipping I took for that stunt

[nathanpartin]

I'd like to see him do some longer distance shots out to 50 60 yards. I shoot a recurve and love traditional.

[jondeere]

Howard Hill did split the arrow, but it didn't suite the director so, he did it again with fly-by-wire.

[jazzadosa]

...Hum....greatest trad archer of the last seem to have forgotten about
a guy named Howard may want to do a bit of research on the man...
