There was this documentary on the greatest marksman ever but I can't remember what network it was on. I saw it some time ago. But I remember there was a traditional recurve archer on it, he was an older man who wore a hat with a brim. He was shooting all different things, like his wife would throw up loops or pieces of circular wood or even a candy and he would shoot them out of the air. He also shot some targets while on a moving pickup.

In the same show there were other marksman like one who was a very good knife thrower and chopped a vegetable his assistant was holding with a knife throw.

Does anyone know who I am talking about? I keep searching for world's greatest archer and all I get are asian kids with 500 stabilizers on their recurve shooting at competitions.

Thanks for your help!
