Because of great men like that, we can still enjoy archery today. Thank you for sharing this. God bless

[@PeterOStecherClassicArchery]

Many thanks for sharing that piece of archery history!! Great those Wilhelm Brothers!! Best Wishes, Peter

[@woodsmith3124]

For anyone who's interested, the book "Toxicated: A Treasury of Archery" has two stories about the Wilhelm brothers and another written by Walt

[@beatricebecker3251]

Walt is my great uncle. I spent many wonderful days on the desert with he and Aunt Minerva. He was also a great photographer and I have pictures to prove it! Thank you for sharing this! Brings back many memories of my younger days!

[@AlisonMcMahan]

HI Beatrice! Whose grandchild are you? I'm Doreen's grandaughter. Would love to see your pictures!

[@georgepeters4013]

@@AlisonMcMahan Was it Ken Wilhelm that Howard Hill shot an apple off his head in one of his films?

[@29limo]

we want more of this!!!

[@alanochanman]

Thank you for posting this. I use this as an ecouragement video for the UCLA Archery Club. everyone loves it.

[@garychynne1377]

GREAT ARCHERS. KEN DOES NOT ANCHOR. WALT GETS OVER THE ARROW AND SHOOTS FROM THE HIP WITHOUT AN ANCHOR. THIS SHOWS HOW ARCHERY IS AN ART. THEIR SOMEWHAT UNORTHODOX AND DIFFERENT STYLES SHOULD BE A LESSON TO US ALL. THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN POSTURING AND BEING COACHED. THANKS GUYS REALLY ENJOYED AND AM IMPRESSED BY YOUR TALENTS. TAKE CARE BOYS WHERE EVER YA ARE. GARE

[@garychynne1377]

3 years later and i've learnt to use small print. this scares the hell out of me. i've watched it several times. walt is amazing and uniquely talented. i believe ken has as good a 45 degree cant style as i've ever seen. i wouldn't have the confidence to do 1/3 of their stuff. so glad we have movies because who would believe it. i'm delirious with respect, and more than entertained. thank yew boys.

[@michaelcolloton6971]

Thank you, Allison! I can't believe these guys, Especially Walt. Wonder if Howard Hill could shoot from the hip like that.

[@2adamast]

They have better Willam Tell shooting footage than Howard Hill

[@tslmiami6288]

Adamast yeah but Howard had some very cute assistants!!!

[@overcomerarchery2870]

Excellent!

[@grantubl7297]

Your great-uncles were awesome. I saw films of them at an archery historian's home in the mid-80's with Larry Whiffen.

os cara eram fera que pena pessoas maravilhosas como essas se vao

[@estarchery]

Nice video! Thanx

[@timgonzalez9140]

I worked with a gentleman named Richard Morley who lived next door to Walt. He told stories of hunting jack rabbits with all boys in Yermo. He said that most of the boys were given nicknames and his was "Driving Dick" because he was tall enough to reach the pedals in the truck that they took out into the desert. I loved listening to his stories of growing up!!

At 6.00... what the F**k?! Ridiculous skills

[@ralphiem2213]

Walt Wilhelm, (the taller brother), shoots from the hip because of an automobile injury.

[@JSmithski]

So he’s Wilhelm Tall?

[@Trophybow1]

Whow!

[@EchoArchery]

Awesome shooting! Have any more of that stuff? Thanks for posting!

[@amria5725]

Safety?.. what is safety?

[@stephenjones7090]

They surely are not very good. Interesting how archery has advanced. I enjoyed it, thanks for posting.

[@iceblueeyes9455]

These two are and was about as good as you gan get. When you shoot dice off of someones head your on a level i haven't reach.

[@JSmithski]

Imagine all those kids shot in the head by other kids because there was no stunts warning message in the video at the beginning. SMH.
