Nailing a perfect archery shot is a hard thing to do in itself. Shannen Jones from Australia’s Gold Coast has managed to ace this task by using her feet while doing a handstand.

Jones, who has been practising foot archery for over six years now, recently created a world record for ‘farthest arrow shot using feet’ when she managed to shoot an arrow at the centre of the target from a distance of 18.27 metre (59 feet and 11 inch).

Jones’s video has so far gathered over 4.9 lakh views. Commenting on it, a Twitter user wrote, “Wow, that must have taken a lot of practice and determination to achieve such an impressive feat!”. Another person said, “That’s impressive. As an archer and someone teaching his kids archery, that level of skill is highly impressive and the GWR is well deserved. Hard work, training and dedication is vital for success. Congratulations and well done.”

Last year! My application was verified and I officially got the record last night. :)
