I've heard of those. Here you go:

Harry Drake (1983) held foot held flight record 1 mile 268 yards.

I have no idea of what kind of bolts or arrows were used with the "finnish style." In fact there was little need for armour piercing ammunition in Finland. Hunted animals never wore armour and I don't think armour has never been common here in Finland.
