    1. doing a handstand

    2. being good enough at archery to draw a crowd

    3. performing archery with feet

    Like, I’ll never be able to do one of those things, let alone all three simultaneously.

    This doesn’t look AI generated.

    I’m in awe. This must have taken hundreds, if not thousands of hours of training and dedication.

    Anyone been to Kyrgyzstan? All I know is that they have a fucking dope flag 🇰🇬

      Apparently a lot of people can do this. Search something like trick archery feet and you can find a bunch of examples.

      Not to say it isn’t difficult or impressive of course, just that it’s not limited to Kyrgyzstan

      Kyrgyzstan is amazing and gorgeous, it’s known as the “Switzerland of Central Asia” because its size, topography and mountains resemble it. Women are beautiful, the place is wild.

    Are these properly weighted bows or does she have serious toe grip strength to draw the bowstring like that?

      I don’t know exactly, but this is specially made equipment. I’ve never seen a bow with a hole in the handle for the arrow. That makes a lot of sense, it’s probably very difficult to balance the arrow just right. And because of the hole, I’m not seeing much in the way of fletching on that arrow. The grip is also made for toes. I would guess it is a lower weight bow.

        Maybe they rifle the hole and the spin takes the place of fletching?
