+1 on Howard Hill books and videos.

I've seen video of Howard Hill shooting a mallard out of the air with his longbow or recurve at a distance of about 30 yards

He shot all manner of man made and natural ariels in addition to everything you mentioned. There's not much he didn't shoot with a bow and most of the time it was moving.

I saw video of him shooting aspirins from about 10 yards that were thrown in the air by his assistant and then about twenty years ago I was at a bowyers festival and one of his younger proteges that was still alive put on a trick shooting demonstration that was awesome including shooting the aspirins.

I switched from a compound to a Fred Bear recurve after reading Fred Bear's biography and watching video of Howard Hill shooting traditional bows and cedar arrows.
