Watch the Women's Barebow Final from the 2020 Lancaster Archery Classic where Claire Xie, Cinzia Noziglia, Fawn Girard, and Lina Björklund compete for the title!
I really like what Lancaster is doing here, but the interruptions take the rhythm out of the competition, and I have no idea how the competitors can maintain their focus, especially having to be interviewed between sets. Great competition and awesome shooting.
How is this even allowed to have some dumb a.. interrupting the concentration of the archers?? This sport is 80% mental and 20% physical for experienced archers. You know what would happen, if they would pull a stunt like this in a Chess tournament....
You know the format. I guess you recoiling at the risk someone might talk to you. You'd hate to share a boss with me and about 95% of the people I see at competitions. For me 90% of an archery competition is a social activity, I get to see and talk to my archery friends.
GREAT FINALS! I also just binge watched Men's finals from '17 through '20. Fantastic competition. However, to be truly world class, the interviewing of archers while they compete and directing the audience on when to applaud, give standing ovations, etc has to end! You can do splash screens of each archer's equipment and history. Let these amazing men and women focus, PLEASE!! (The offscreen commentators are fine, but the nonsense on the deck needs to stop)
I sincerely hope she's comes back. I would love to see her again, especially as she gets more experienced. I think it's adorable she wanted a little one for her doll!
@@sarahbell8886 Yeah! the funny part was, i was standing next to her when she asked one of the employees at the Lancaster store for the bow. The guy told her to ask Rob. I didnt think she would, but was surprised when she actually asked.
@@sarahbell8886 yes! She's a talented archer and I was lucky enough to meet her at the NFAA Indoor nationals. She was rounding up the hubby and the kids. A fun bunch!

This has been exciting to watch....today(31Jul2021) purchased my first barebow bow to start this new hobby for me....I went to a local club that was offering group lessons to try the sport out and had so much fun!! Purchased my gear at Lancaster archery....such great customer service/advice thanks!!
20 kids out with an obviously contagious sickness.... Let me go spread what ever it is... Other than that she's an amazing athlete and a serious competitor.
Really enjoyed the coverage of this and the mens match. I've watched the last 3 years of barebow coverage multiple times and it's been really informative and helped me get into shooting this style. I did find this year though that rather than the archers telling everybody about the equipment they chose to shoot it was more about what they were being paid to endorse - the shout outs and interviews mid match with manufacturers was a bit tacky. I just think it's a great event as it is and with the interest in barebow rising i'd hate to see the event turn into a live product expo when it is meant to be coverage of a competition of skill. Great matches to watch though and inspiring shooting. I'm not sure about the running of a separate women's division when there is no gender advantage and the women would earn a better prize in a mixed division - but if it helps get promote the sport to women more and the female competitors are happy for this to be the case - then fair enough.
It's his tournament that he built from scratch. I doubt if the shooters mind since he's responsible for them having the chance to shoot for the bucks. He can run it the way he wants to.
As a Moderator I think the way they do their Moderation quite hilarious sometimes. Silly to be honest but that makes it so funny. But sometimes I do wanna cringe thought and reminds me a lot of E3
I appreciate the competition, but I've got to say....watching these guys on the floor, interrupting the shooters and sticking a mic in their face, with stupid questions that they really haven't thought through, is painful to watch. It's like they think they're part of the entertainment, and really.....maybe just sit down and shut up and let them shoot.
For the love of God, stooooooooppppp the in-between interviews!!!!!!!! If you absolutely MUST get their life story and gear lists, then pre-record an interview and play it separately. Just let them compete and not split their focus. I love these Lancaster videos, but only because TH-cam lets me skip 40s-1min with a quadruple-tap while the CEO is chirping nonsense with the competitors. The commentary folks and rowdy crowds are always a welcome layer to the action, but just STOP KILLING THE FLOW between ends guys!

I like some questions about the archers. Less about their equipment. But the constant inbetween to crush their flow is really annoying. Cant feel how it is for the archers competing
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti I'm sure it's less of an issue for these folks than it'd be for me. They've got millions of arrows downrange & I've maybe a couple thousand
Hmm I don´t want to troll but really don´t quite get it. One of the few sports where women could compete with men without beeing at a clear disadvantage. Why have a special women´s class?
More strength = heavier draw weight = flatter trajectory = easier aiming. That's my guess. They had them together last year, I think separating them seems better for encouraging more women to compete. Which I think is great.
They money they payout for a major event like this seems pathetic. What can't they pay the women the same amount the men earn? Their matches were as good as the men's.
The payouts are partly based on participation.As participation grows, so does the prize money. The women had 61 entrants this year. Men had 189. Even still, the Classic has the highest payout in the country for a women's indoor barebow competition.
For those complaining, you do realize he's the guy who not only built LAS, but started this tournament from scratch. I doubt if the shooters mind the interviews and comments since if it wasn't for him there'd be no big bucks to shoot for. Don't like it? Turn the volume off.
It's no that Mr. Kaufhold doesn't have the right to do these interviews, it's that he's just not good at it. He doesn't have much in the way of stage presence or charisma and puts the burden of the conversation on the archer who needs to be concentrating on the match and not answering questions meant to fill up the air and often just goes on tangents that nobody cares about. His energy is weak and fails to transmit that to the crowed successfully, ending in attempts at cheering and excitement that look way forced.
Could somebody please explain to me why one archer comes to the gold match and fresh gets it or a silver medal, while the other has to win 2 competitors to get the gold?
That is called a "shoot-up" style of competition. In most competitions, you have match-play that results in four archers earning the right for medal matches. Two archers shoot for bronze or no medal, and two archers shoot for gold and silver. In the shoot-up style, four or eight archers qualify for the finals by rank. The lowest ranked archer has to shoot his or her way up through the other archers to get to the gold medal match, while the top ranked archer only has to shoot for gold or silver. In this style of competition,any of the qualifying archers have a chance to win the gold medal. In a traditional finals format, only the top 2 archers can win the gold medal.
It's quite odd seeing the interviews between sets. Super self serving for the sponsors and not super respectful. Also the tone of it felt somewhat infantalising to the women vs with the men where it's all 'manly' and jocular. Disappointing!
This was first year for separate women's category, the women score as high as the men, why not have top 3 or at least top archer from each compete for top prize, instead of women getting peanuts compared to men's? And please, the constant chatter distracting the archers is disrespectful and sophomoric.
How much do olympians get? Oh yeah a gold painted brass medal lol. I am glad they got atleast something because it is a motivation to go there and compete which helps the sport grow. Im happy that a bow sales company is running this competition. No better marketing than creating new customers in a interesting way
Just to emphasize - the interruptions to the competition are more than weird.
Terrible decision, IMO.
Yep....the bloke with the mic - what a f***ing annoying c***. Only in America.
Agreed. This just favors whoever has more stage experience
Too many
...I swear at a certain point it stops being hospitable and starts entering pestering territory.
I really like what Lancaster is doing here, but the interruptions take the rhythm out of the competition, and I have no idea how the competitors can maintain their focus, especially having to be interviewed between sets. Great competition and awesome shooting.
At 28:30 you can hear that Fawn agrees with you. :-)
Save the interviews for after the match!!!
It happens during each of their competitions. This was slightly more cringe.

Why the constant interruptions to the competition to hear all the talk?

tri.... well said, splash screen, I also agree with pre and post interviews; this constant interruption was irritating.
100%
Disagree. Bare Bow is all about a relaxed atmosphere, friendly rivalry & having a good time. If you want serious & boring, watch the Compound Comps.
of all the surprises in this video "it fits my american girl" remains the most unexpected and best comment made. You do you Claire
The Claire and Fawn match had me at the edge of my seat! That was THE match of the tournament to watch!
I sincerely hope she's comes back. I would love to see her again, especially as she gets more experienced.
I think it's adorable she wanted a little one for her doll!
@@sarahbell8886 Yeah! the funny part was, i was standing next to her when she asked one of the employees at the Lancaster store for the bow. The guy told her to ask Rob. I didnt think she would, but was surprised when she actually asked.
@@SeanChan33
I loved it. She seems to have such a wonderful personality and lots of talent.
I hope to one day have a tiny fraction of her ability.
@@sarahbell8886 yes! She's a talented archer and I was lucky enough to meet her at the NFAA Indoor nationals. She was rounding up the hubby and the kids. A fun bunch!
Fawn is also immensely talented.
I would love to actually be present at a match
I really hope to see Claire in2021.
She's going to be absolutely fire the more experienced she gets.
Barebow is my favorite to watch.
When did they start talking in between sets? That’s really annoying.
Awesome match! I can barely listen to the awkward interviews though
David Casey lol they were a bit cringy
It is an American thing.

Nice competition, not nice microphone dude and his interruptions :/
Thanks Lancaster and all your suppliers. Yes, get these ladies more money. They put me on the edge of my seat.
You must love to hear yourself talk! Just leave them alone and let them shoot!
Why do all the comments need to be complaints about the "advertisements" during the match? I don't see it as a big deal
Hopefully there will be a Trad class next... off the shelf, no rest, no plunger.
That would be great.
Thats what "barebow" should be in my opinion.
Longbow with Wooden arrows , off the shelf , no rest just hability
Why would women and men need to compete separately in Archery?
I feel the same as you, makes no sense to me.
There should be an "open for all"-division and a "women's exclusive"-division - no men-exclusive - that's unnecessary.
Being able to shoot heavier poundage does have its advantages.
Men can generally handle heavier bow pull.
This has been exciting to watch....today(31Jul2021) purchased my first barebow bow to start this new hobby for me....I went to a local club that was offering group lessons to try the sport out and had so much fun!!

Fawn comin in hard with the Covid
I wondered if she didn't have Covid.
I was thinking that too...
20 kids out with an obviously contagious sickness.... Let me go spread what ever it is... Other than that she's an amazing athlete and a serious competitor.
I doubt it was COVID, I ran into her at a shop days after competing and you couldn’t even tell she was sick.
Great shooting LADIES! Thanks for posting!! "KEEP ON KEEPIN ON"!!
The mic handling was definitely cringey, I don't now how the archers got though it
Great matches! Hope Women's will keep growing and the purse will match the Men's group.

"she needs 11 to tie this".
Shoots 11.
That arrow flew like a corkscrew too lol
Hold my arrow lol
Very talented archers!
I hope by now the prizes for men and women are equal. Up the prizes and you’ll also get more competitors.
Do the interviews at the beginning or end of the match but stop interrupting the competition
Someone should take the microphone away from that guy and have him sit in the background
I'm not so sure. I thought it might be more useful if they took the microphone from him and sat him in front of the target 😈
It's his tournament that he built from scratch. I doubt if the shooters mind since he's responsible for them having the chance to shoot for the bucks. He can run it the way he wants to.
Really weird to be talking about payouts and stuff in the middle of a match in front of audience and all.

Are there some photos of the matches?, where?
Great shooting, ladies!
I thoroughly enjoyed the tournament coverage.
We just want to see the archers do archery, we don't need the chit-chat.
Claire Xie is sooooooo adorable awwwwww
5:00 mins.. great to see a leftie on the stage! I think pistol & archery are complementary disciplines.
Does anyone know the riser lengths these two women are using?
What about a Youth Female Barebow division
Coming soon I hope, I would love to get my great granddaughter in on that !
Lina could very well compete with the men and have a good chance of winning!
Every after a round they need sponsor shout outs XD lol its almost comical.
Hmm I don´t want to troll but really don´t quite get it. One of the few sports where women could compete with men without beeing at a clear disadvantage. Why have a special women´s class?
Look at the vegas scores. No women was that close to the men besides Paige Pearce
More strength = heavier draw weight = flatter trajectory = easier aiming. That's my guess. They had them together last year, I think separating them seems better for encouraging more women to compete. Which I think is great.
can competitors use a longbow, or all recurves?
Apparentely longbows with wooden arrows are also allowed, just none of them have made it to the finals yet.
...... yeah today I’m shooting my Samick Sage at #60.

is this 20yards?
How many times can something be "unbelievable"? Find some commentators with a vocabulary.

They should have interviews between plays in the NFL.
Your knees sore?

@@LancasterArcherySupply thank you very much for the information!
Love seeing barebow competition. The MC cringe happens each time.
You should of not interrupted the first match disrespectful....
Great shooting. But please stop the ridiculous interviews or interviewer.
Wow it's all I can say.... But the MC probably should replaced.
Great shooting all round. I sincerely hope Fawn didn't have the Rona..
Why would they try to interview the archers and break their concentration.
This is from before the pandemic.
The talking on the ground is just cringe.
the nugent hold
Nice 2 arrow shoot off

YYap yap
Good competition, partially spoilt by inane, continual interruptions
They need to get the microphone away from the president . He makes this look like amateur hour.
2000 dollars first prize is a joke
More entrants more $$$, the moneys gotta come from somewhere
Especially with how much L.A. makes in a year!
