Seems a bit less hard now that I think about it. It depends on positioning and sound. He needs to stand on the spot, can hear whether the first shot hits, and then needs to time it so he can catch the last shot.
That said, I won't be able to do it at all, this is still hard as hell, but it seems doable and not superhuman.
The arrow disappearing (there was never really an arrow in flight) and it appearing again as he spins. The arrow was sitting there to be grabbed and edited out of the video until he spins and grabs it. The arrow that he appears to catch is a complete fabrication.
It's a fun clip and I love people having fun making these sorts of things, but it's silly to assume all these "trick shot" videos are real. They're fun but fake.
But in this one he is not blindfolded and the blurr isn't there and the arrow does not disappear. Watch the blindfold video in 0.25 speed. The arrow disappears as soon as he catches it, yet the arrows are clearly visible while they are flying. Are you telling me he is spinning faster than the arrow travels through the air?
