A Real (Russian) 'Hunger Games' Girl Archer

By: Dave Maas

Mar 23

Check out this amazing Russian redhead, Iza Privezenceva, as she demonstrates the fast-shooting “dagger technique” (in Russian: “kinzhalnaya technika” or “kinzhalka”).

This weekend all the Hollywood hype is about young archer/hunter Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence) from the new “Hunger Games” movie, but my money would be on Iza if the two met in battle.

Be sure to watch Iza’s video until at least the 1:25 mark when the camera shoots over her shoulder. Not only is she fast (nearly one arrow per second), but she’s accurate, too.

Trivia to impress your hunting buddies: Iza is from Murmansk, Russia, which is the largest city north of the Arctic Circle.

Until next time . . .

That was impressive. I would have shot myself if I tried that.

What a shame.... She can shoot like that and bowhunting's not allowed in Russia. She should hook up with Randy Oltker. Now that would be something.

she is smooth, and has a lot of potential for getting much better.

That woman is fantastic. It's amazing to see someone that dedicated to the sport. She's very impressive.

Was that a tapestry of Obumer she was shooting at?
