Picture a life defined by remarkable archery feats, Hollywood stunts, and intrepid hunts. This is the story of Howard Hill, the man behind the legend.

Overview:

In Howard Hill the Man and the Legend, Craig Ekin presents an engaging portrait of the archer who amazed the world with his longbow skill. Known for trick shots (like splitting an apple at 60 feet), starring in archery documentaries, and performing stunts in classic Errol Flynn films, Hill personified precision, daring, and showmanship.
