14-year-old breaks archery world record by firing arrow the length of five football pitches, Corby, Northamptonshire, Britain - 20 Aug 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Geoffrey Robinson / Rex Features ( 1220251m )
The Teenage Archer Who Could Take On Robin Hood
A schoolboy who dreamed of being Robin Hood has smashed a world long distance adult record in Flight Archery after firing an arrow the length of five football pitches.
Zak Crawford, who is just 14, shot an arrow nearly 500 metres - an incredible 150 metres further than the previous record.
The teenager was competing in the senior under 35lb class using a recurve bow at the Northern Counties Flight Championships at the time.
He managed to smash the world record by firing an arrow 484.29 metres - beating the previous record of 339.06 metres.
He also broke world records in the junior recurve and junior compound categories at the competition at RAF Church Fenton in Yorkshire.
Zak, who started the sport when he was just six, said he was "over the moon" at winning the hat trick of world records.
"I have been practising really hard but I certainly didn't expect to come away from the competition with three world records, I'm over the moon," he said.
"I managed to get the technique right on the day and I couldn't believe it when the arrows went so far."
Zak, who enjoyed watching Robin Hood films as a child, took up archery at the age of six after trying it at a fair.
He became the youngest member of his local club and got into the county team at the age of seven and the East Midlands team two years later when he was just nine.
He initially started with target shooting but was later introduced to Flight Archery, which is based on the distance an arrow travels.
"When I first began I was the youngest in my club and I found it very difficult as I was quite small and the bow was heavy," said Zak, from Corby, Northants.
"But I really enjoyed archery and began training a lot so I soon got used to it."
Zak now trains at Welland Valley...

"I managed to get the technique right on the day and I couldn't believe it when the arrows went so far."
Zak, who enjoyed watching Robin Hood films as a child, took up archery at the age of six after trying it at a fair.
He became the youngest member of his local club and got into the county team at the age of seven and the East Midlands team two years later when he was just nine.
He initially started with target shooting but was later introduced to Flight Archery, which is based on the distance an arrow travels.
"When I first began I was the youngest in my club and I found it very difficult as I was quite small and the bow was heavy," said Zak, from Corby, Northants.
"But I really enjoyed archery and began training a lot so I soon got used to it."
Zak now trains at Welland Valley...

The Teenage Archer Who Could Take On Robin Hood
A schoolboy who dreamed of being Robin Hood has smashed a world long distance adult record in Flight Archery after firing an arrow the length of five football pitches.
Zak Crawford, who is just 14, shot an arrow nearly 500 metres - an incredible 150 metres further than the previous record.
The teenager was competing in the senior under 35lb class using a recurve bow at the Northern Counties Flight Championships at the time.
He managed to smash the world record by firing an arrow 484.29 metres - beating the previous record of 339.06 metres.
He also broke world records in the junior recurve and junior compound categories at the competition at RAF Church Fenton in Yorkshire.
Zak, who started the sport when he was just six, said he was "over the moon" at winning the hat trick of world records.
"I have been practising really hard but I certainly didn't expect to come away from the competition with three world records, I'm over the moon," he said.
"I managed to get the technique right on the day and I couldn't believe it when the arrows went so far."
