ROSEBURG, Ore. -- A Roseburg man took a shot at becoming a Guinness World Record holder of the longest and most accurate bow shot.

330 yards is a long distance, especially when trying to hit a small dot with a bow and arrow.

That's just what 26-year-old Garrett Weaver of Roseburg attempted to do, and he would have been the only one in the world to do it.

"You're never going to know what you can do until you try,” Weaver said. “The first thing people tell me when I tell them I'm shooting 330 yards is, 'oh, I could never do that.' I'm like, 'well, have you even tried? Then how do you know you can't do it?'"

Weaver says he's been practicing for the record-breaking day since January.

After 16,000 practice arrows, the time had come.
