I'm in awe of this Skyrim trick shot compilation

It's hard to believe that later this year we'll be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a number that's making me feel rather old. But it seems some players have put those years to good use by religiously practicing the game's archery, resulting in combinations so ridiculous they've left me scratching my head.

A compilation shared on Reddit by user "Walter Fring" has attracted a fair bit of attention for the absurdity of some of the shots, all neatly edited into a video with jaunty Zelda music in the background.
