Matt then said I’m going to do that. He googled “how to teach an armless guy how to shoot a bow”. Believe it or not nothing showed up.

So Matt watched videos on how to shoot a bow and arrow and kind of taught himself how to shoot.

After a while Matt had a dream come true he broke a world record for the furthest accurate distance in men’s Archery
