ARJUNA THE BEST MORTAL ARCHER, ACCORDING TO VYASA'S DHANURVEDA

Vyasa's Dhanurveda talks about 3 archers only, whose names should be intoned by every archer before starting the battle, their names are -

1) Lord Shiva

2) Lord Vishnu/Lord Rama/Lord Krishna

3) Arjuna 

So we can conclude that Arjuna is the best archer among mortals and 3rd best archer of Indian epics.

ततोर्जुनस्य नामानि विष्णुस्मरणपूर्वकम् ।

जपेत्ततः प्रतिष्ठेत चतुरङ्गबलैर्युतः ॥ १९४॥ 1908

~ After keeping Lord Visnu in mind, the name of Arjuna should be intoned by every archer and warrior as well. Thereafter, he should establish his position along with his four types of troops (namely the elephant-riders, the cavalry, the charioteers and the infantry).

अर्जुनः फाल्गुनः पार्थः किरीटी श्वेतवाहनः ।

बीभत्सुर्विजयी कृष्णः सव्यसाची धनंजयः ॥ १९६॥ 1910

~These are the names of Arjuna, which the warrior should intone:. Arjuna, Phalguna, Partha, Kireeti, Vivatsu, Vijayi, Krsna, Savyasachi and Dhananjaya
