here about a month ago, my buddy laid an arrow stright down the middle of another from 30 yards. the guy that owns aarons archery on P said he's been doing archery for some 30+ years an had only done it 3 times.

I suppose that's cool, but I'm more into guns. With my .30-06, shooting off a sandbag, I can put three bullets into the same hole at 100 yards. With my S&W model 10 revolver, I can make one ragged hole at 15 yards. But those shots aren't as difficult as that archery shooting.

Exactly.

A lot of times I feel like they don't really do a good job. Especially the interns. Like the one about swords breaking on eachother. They said it was "busted" but I can tell you, swords do break on eachother if they get beaten enough. The ones they used were brand new, and they just pronounced it a total myth.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think the myth they were testing was "swords breaking on each other." I think they showed quite conclusively that swords can break on each other. I believe the myth they were testing was the ability for one sword to "cut" another sword (Kill Bill style).
I will agree though that some of their conclusions are a bit shady in some cases.
The sword one was the worst one Mythbusters has done. They kept trying to cut through the entire blade, instead of the flat of the blade, which is much thinner. Also, they didn't take into account that the other person holding the sword might be swinging in the opposite direction, increasing the force on the blade. Plus, the only swords they used were katanas and decorative swords.
