Yuyan Archers

History
The Yu Yan Archers are a group of elite, extremely proficient Fire Nation archers. They first appear in the Book 1 episode: The Blue Spirit. Their skill is demonstrated first by the archers firing an arrow into the bullseye of a target, and then firing another arrow directly into the first arrow. Secondly it is said they can pin a fly to a tree 100 yards away without killing it.

They used to belong to Colonel Shino. They were being used as "security guards" for the Fire Nation. However, after Commander Zhao received his promotion to Admiral, he took control of them, and used them in his hunt for the Avatar. In The Blue Spirit, their expert aim just beats Aang's extreme agility, and results in his capture. They are also used at the end, to injure the Blue Spirit.

After that episode, they are not seen again.
