Short answer is bow hand grip. With recurve you do not grip the bow at all. The partial draw stops the bow falling. With longbow you do grip the bow. You also use the arrow tip for gap aiming with longbow. That's a very short and lacking detail explanation. A fuller answer would need a long time.
I’m getting into archery, so I’m not good yet but if I was in a competition I wouldn’t want to wear those shirts. They look scratchy. Idk why all the archers wear tight polyesters.
Was watching this thinking, "I recognise that voice, but who is it?" Then I realised "it's Grizzly Jim!" Well done on the commentary guys.
I had the exact same reaction - what a pleasant surprise
They stand so close to each other when shooting!
Yeah, classic WA ;)
are they using wooden arrows?
Maybe, but it is all real archery either way.
Yes I agree, I was just wondering because I didn’t know the tournament rules.
@@ruck-stickarcheryandwoodwo7073 With longbows they have to use wooden arrows ! It's the rule!
@@Mickleprinlm thanks for letting me know I thought I read that
Why do longbow archers raise the bow and then draw from brace height, whereas recurve archers come to partial draw as they raise the bow?

I've never seen anything so boring in archery. Is this a joke?
No, these are just the finals.
Looks like fun to me:judging distance and shooting different angles every shot. Not easy with no compound tricks.
