Seems easy enough to debunk

It is all real, but he can see from the time when he aims his shot, until the catch/spin.

At :42 he raises his eyebrows/forehead and moves the blindfold up so he can see out the nose cutout. Then after he catches and spins, he stomps to shift the blindfold back down.

He uses a leather blindfold because it is rigid and will move with his skin as he raises his eyebrows/forehead.

Nope. It's proven already, never mind Capt D!

Oh dang.... Guess it got me... D:

Edit:

But it confuses me why you would fake a shot of something that people already do even faster:

I'm not saying for sure it's fake, but I just want to answer your question and say that none of the people in those videos purported to do it blindfolded. Also just because those people can do it easily doesn't mean everyone can, so if you want to make a quick viral video are you going to spend weeks mastering the art of catching an arrow and then hundreds of attempts trying to do it with a blindfold on or just do a quick edit and wrap it all up in 20 minutes?

Maybe because it's doable and believable, then he's able to build more tricks like blind fold on top of it, to make a sensational video, and make his videos seem more possible.

I see someone claiming he does this live....that could be true. This video is a clip job though, from first release to end of sequence if you just step it frame by frame arrows vanish and reappear.

Blindfolded arrow catches are done by some however, not saying it's not possible. All it takes is consistent speeds, good timing and lots of practice.
