**Yeah, Stephen Amell can actually shoot a bow and arrow like he does in Arrow TV series. I mean not exactly the way it’s been shown in the Arrow TV series but in real life, he is good enough in archery.**

**A similar question has been asked to him in a recent interview and he laughingly gave a reply that he is not that bad in archery as archery skill is important of his character and he practices archery on a regular basis.**

He also stated that most of the people think that it’s a CGI effect when he shoots an arrow but most of the time it’s not like the way viewers think. Just like his other fitness session he usually practices Archery too.
