This Korean TV show highlights some incredible archery - marksmen split an apple and egg at 70m, then do what seems to be impossible - split a thread, a soybean, then an arrow at 30m (go to 3:00 in to see the seemingly impossible arrow shot). Click play, or go to the video [YouTube], to watch.

that was incredible
Big deal. I just split *this* thread. :P
Doesnt take away from the shot though
Splitting arrows in archery is relatively rare with real metal arrows because the tip is closed with a conic metal end and the diameter is identical, unlike the receiving one on the video. I've seen it happening only twice.
I don't count the times were the whole archery club was aiming at a quarter sized coin, or the bottom of a lighter with a candle under it... You never took your valuable carbon fiber arrows to those arrows salads ;)
That's the reality:
