Incredible Moment Archer Shoots A Mint Out Of The Air

A female archer has blown people's minds after managing to shoot a mint out of the air with her bow and arrow - like a real-life Katniss Everdeen.

Jennifer Delaney, from Dallas in Texas, showed off her impressive trick-shot on TikTok, where it's racked up five million views.

In the clip, Jennifer can be seen holding up the mint to the camera before chucking it into the air and quickly pulling out her bow and arrow. She takes a shot and manages to smash the mint into pieces, while the arrow sticks into the backstop.

As you can imagine, fellow social media users were pretty bloody impressed with her skills and heaped praise on Jennifer in the comments.

One person wrote: "Excuse me miss, it's illegal to be that talented, so now you must teach me."

Another added: "Don't be shy - go and win the Hunger Games."

While a third wrote: "My jaw dropped. I didn't think was possible. Incredible."

Admitting a sad truth for us all, another person said: "I couldn't even notch an arrow that fast."

Despite her impressive skills, Jennifer says she only got into archery in 2016. On her website she explains: "It wasn't until I started graduate school at SMU Cox School of Business that I woke up one Saturday and thought how great it would be to have the time to pick up an outdoor hobby."

She continues: "I had no real knowledge of archery but within the hour I had jumped in my car and was sitting in an archery safety presentation at an indoor shooting facility I had found roughly 30 minutes from my apartment.

"Fast forward a few weeks and I had bought my own gear / was stomping around the woods at Elm Fork Range in Dallas, TX watching YouTube videos on technique and teaching myself how to shoot a bow."

Now she regularly shares videos showing off her incredible skills, including shooting an arrow right through the neck of a bottle and out the other end, and even putting out a candle with an arrow.

May the odds be forever in your favour, Jennifer.
