Phenomenal stuff.  I would never have guessed at that outcome.  He can throw a football more accurately than 99% of people could shoot a handgun.

I call BS, at least on Olympic archers doing so poorly at 20 yards.  I can hit 10/10 in a 4" target at 20 yards with my hunting bow.  And by no means am I an Olympic archer.

I don't recall them actually showing the actual range the Olympic archers were shooting at.  I have to agree that I thought competitive archers could do better than that at that range.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if Brees was an above average passer in accuracy.  Based on the passing competitions the NFL used to have around the Pro-Bowl, most of them are not pinpoint accurate.  Hitting moving targets and knowing when and where to throw the ball are more important.

I've seen competitive archers do better than that. Good ones anyways.  :lol:

Still if he can hit the same spot with a football 10 times out of ten I'd say he was doing ok. Wish I could do that.  =(
