Case breakdown: Movie Robin-hood:
Similar to the scene that we just saw, Little john (played by Jamie Foxx) is training Robin Hood (played by Taron Egerton). Now, Robin is already a sharpshooter but he is becoming a better version of himself over this period. He is learning how to shoot three arrows in a single go. He is also learning how to judge situations by following patterns and adopting them. As you can see in the last part of the scene, he is quickly adapting to the situation and hits the last board without even seeing it.
