A bit more info is that they gave him a tampered bow and I believe his first shot was too low and then too high. The knights gave him a tampered bow so that he could look like a fool and then be kill. When the assassin runs he ask if they want him death or alive so they told him alive so he procced to shot him in the foot
Actually what he asked was if they could take him alive. They said something along the lines of it being to dangerous, so he proceeded to shoot him in the foot. Mind you I watched the English dub so it may have been a mistranslation.
What I love about this anime is that he was testing the bow to see the limits on it, he test how far the string can be pulled back, the quality of it, and how to far can it fire the arrow
Yeah, I kinda hate that this came out at a time where people were basically just hating on anything with a fantasy theme/ecchi. This actually had a really solid story going.
What? Sure in anime logic, but in a real bow it don't work like that. If your string loses tension, it won't release correctly, regardless how much of a god you are.
By the way funnily enough yes hitting a moving tanager can be easier for some and in japans case cavalry bowmen were only trained to shoot targets on horseback and whenever they were not on a horse most would have terrible aim
Get the family treasure a ancient bow "o you want to see something good with only hiting the targets?" pulls with strength 💪 lets go it fires like wind magic hits the target 🎯.
Context: they gave him a defective bow because of their warrior princess interest in him, and he was failing the targets, but he managed to master it quickly, and when an assassin tried to hit the lady he asked him the man has to be captive alive and said: I'm going for the leg. He hit him at more than 300 meters, an unthinkable distance for anyone, gaining the respect of the garrison
When he got his black bow he manage to shoot down a flying dragon with one arrow with the assist of wind from someone else but being able to shoot down an escaping flying dragon was awesome.

Him: *He just throwed the arrow up and touched the feet of the assasin Them: WTF TY me later
Damn that was one of the better anime out there. Too bad it didn't get a season 2. The manga has 51 chapters and the last one says The End but I haven't checked with the novel, for if the end of the manga is the end of the novel or the end of a volume.
Light novel series goes quite a bit further and deals with fighting demons and meeting other attractive women with magical weaponry. Most of which develop an attraction towards him.
