"If you talk to any professional archer they will tell you that after a certain point it just becomes an intuitive motion."To be certified as the best in the world, the attempt needed to be filmed from different angles and have multiple witnesses.Her unique talents have helped her amass millions of followers on social media.
While foot archery is rare, she said there was actually about 20 female practitioners around the world.
