Just thought some of you may enjoy seeing what happens when a competitive Olympic style archer collides with Roland's build quality!

Absolutely no one expected it to still work after taking a huge hit right strong the speak and hitting the magnet!

Mr Olympic (while being way better at archery than me) doesn't seem to have the most amazing aim? Then again, was he aiming for the holes in the grill...in which case...AMAZING!!

It's a long and boring answer but basically his bow is tuned to his normal carbon fibre arrows which are improbably expensive, and also we were concerned about carbon shards flying about, so we asked him to use some cheaper and sturdier aluminium arrows. Downside being they are quite a bit larger and heavier than the carbons and so accuracy was sacrificed.

That and we told him to miss once or twice for dramatic effect.. ;)
