If I roll 10 6-sided dice, then the chance of rolling 10 sixes is one in a million. Have any of us ever seen this? I strongly doubt it.
Even then, I hope you'll agree that it's possible, otherwise your understanding of probabilities has a very serious flaw.
This just goes to show that empirical evidence is not the only gospel. There are events so improbable that you will likely never see it in your lifetime, and yet they are still possible. This is one reason why formulas and theory is more useful when discussing possibilities.
Keep in mind that no-one claims to have seen the two-arrow takedown. Zenda just pointed out that this is possible, i.e. has a probability greater than zero.

Elemental bows CANNOT do 1k dmg with one arrow on a target with max resists. Nuff said.
I'm pretty sure Harold Camping didn't have a full mana globe...
