Leo Bennett Mounted Archery Aug 2010 at Thunderbird Show Park

Leo Bennett Promo video Mounted Archery Leo Bennett age 11 August 2010
Horse back Archery also called mounted Archery
Leo was 3 10ths of a second of breaking Kassia's world record ,
His style is that of the Samaria where you load and shoot from the same side of the bow in this there is no unnecessary movement, in its simplicity it is fast and deadly " Load Draw and fire" Leo's great great great Grand father was a middle rank Samaria and he is quite proud of his heritage.
I hope you enjoyed the clips

PS if you know any casting directors or any one that could help the boys get started in motion pictures it would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

I Absolutely love these kids!!! Everytime I watch theses videos they get alot better! I think they are such cuties too!!:) Archery alone is really hard(Ive had my share of it) and horse jumping is too! But the can do both and make it look easy!! Cheers to them!!

@bballg123 The boys say thanks ;-)

Great video. This kid is going to be awesome. Although his speed may come close to Kassais, I really don't think they can be compared. Kassai starts further away from his target and I wonder if this technique/style is also accurate over greater distance. But I can see it is very effective in this type of training. I'm going to give it a shot myself! :)

Kassia's System

Always shoots to the right and in a strait line

The attacks he says are always a sweeping arch to the left

This is a predicable restrictive attack method

and no obstacles on the battle field . The Reality is there where rocks trees ditches dead horses and worriers to jump and yet he only trains his students straight track free of obstacles I believe the battle field reality was much harsher and required jumping obstacles , much maneuvering and a 220 degree shooting arch.

what a legend to sit tight! I WANT A GO! that looks so fun- jumping with no hands while shooting a target ....sounds like my kinda thing :P dangerous, adrenalin, excitement..........yep, defo my kinda thing :)

apart from the fact that my 6 year old 16hh tb cross, probably wouldn't canter in a striaght line let alone jump a fence in CANTER!

@daryush55 dont think so you can see his hand in HI res full screen

just his thumb

[daryush55]

@Bajutsuka I would assume he'd be using the Sassanian release to stop arrow paradox: two fingers underneath the arrow, and one finger along the side of the arrow to stabilise it.

This is just my guess though ....

[TheDaki75]

I would love to try this..

[liuntika]

Plus, there are other (also hungarian and turkish (can be inner-asian turkish also)) methods, which it seems you don't know of, so you don't have to invent the spanish wax once again.... :D

[liuntika]

Congratulations to the kid, he's really good at his age. :)

Btw, I would like to clarify a thing. On the steppe there are no real obstacles, not at this height, and they are not artificial. Steppean warfare went into hand-to-hand combat really scarcely under and after the hun period, usually only at the ends of the combat, when the other party started to run. Please do not misinterpret things.

We used bows from a safe distance. :)

[PSYCHEDELIChorses]

Oops... I see the targets now!

[PSYCHEDELIChorses]

R they just randomly shooting or do they have targets

[Bajutsuka]

@erihama: I'm not saying one or the other is better, I'm just saying they can't be compared. I'm convinced you must train for every possibility. And this is certainly a great training if the enemy is close. I noticed you write Kassia, but it is Kassai. No biggie, but because it was consistantly wrong, I wanted to point it out.

Cannot find anything on Samaria, except for being once the capital of Israel. Too bad, liked to have found some reference to it.

Once again: I like this, great riders!
