Traditional Japanese mounted archery

This is different.

Japanese re-enactors practice an ancient sport that involves shooting with a bow and arrows from a galloping horse.

Staying on a galloping horse without crashing into something is difficult enough. I can hardly imagine accurately shooting three arrows in 20 seconds.

If you are an animal lover, stop here.

Another part of the competition historically involved shooting live dogs.
