1:23 I keep telling people they gotta use this angle for every shot. I want to see the arrow flight, not just the impact and a close up of a face! For people who aren’t that familiar with the sport to see how much the arrow arcs is a gamechanger. This is by far the best angle for spectating, I can’t put into words how jarring it is to be watching the target zoomed in and then suddenly an arrow appears and you’ve robbed the audience of the flight of the arrow (the most beautiful part visually).
Right!!!!!!!!!!! This seems such common sense yet no one does it! I watched the sport for the longest time without ever realizing how far they are, how small the target is and how they have to shoot in an arc.
So right!
Honestly that angle shocked me. I thought the arrow was going to hit the backboard.
Same thing with long distance rifle shooting. However the tiny bullet does not fluctuate like the arrow shaft. Archery is magic.
Thank ESPN. Everything is a highlight reel - 8 seconds max.
It seems like a bad idea to install a camera in the bullseye.
I kinda like the angle it gives, so I can see why they do it. Besides, the odds of the camera actually getting hit must be stupidly small. Rusk/reward I guess.
@@XenoFireStar I don't think the odds are that remote. Everyone is shooting at the bullseye... and they put the camera in the bullseye.
It's like hitting a dime at 100 yards.
@@DarthNater246 But its a dime that hundreds of contestants are shooting at.
@@neuvocastezero1838 Have you ever shot a recurve at 70m? At the shooting line you can barely see the centre of the target, that is why they use spotting scopes. I shoot competitively and I’d be delighted if my arrows were all in the yellow.
at 1:24, why is that not the angle they give us all the time! I can't stand how NBC covers live archery. Close up of face, cut close up of target. What idiots, producers, directors, think this is a good way to show the sport? Show the entire flight path of the arrow... duh!
Absolutely on the money comment. When watching, I wouldn't have known if the target was 10 feet from the archers, which absolutely took away from how impressive their skills are. At least 1/3 of the shots should give a sense of the distance involved.
The Olympic Broadcasting Committee does the camera angles and stuff like that, not the NBC.
I'm gonna say it too, cause i feel it's totally the point of the sport when you watch it. You should see the shooter and the target, THEN give us the close up of the target. The first time i saw the distance of the target after minutes and minutes of nothing close of showing it I was blown away. You don't even see the middle circle from that distance.
The arrow flying in the air is the least interesting part of the sport. People who know archery, also happens to be the same group of people who do archery, knows that the form of the shooter is the real important thing, and that is the thing to see. In outdoor events, shooters also need to combat the wind that is blowing at them, hence all the struggle and stuff. That is only visible by pointing the camera at them. Y'all don't seem to know that.
Arrows in the air don't morph into dragons, and how it flies isn't marked or judged in any way.
Nanorisk I shoot recurve. I know form is important, but the actual process from shooting form to the flight of the arrow and then score is what I feel should be shown more. It's not like you can't at least do 50-50 of the shots both ways. I don't need to see their face every single time. Plus, form isn't only what you see from a perpendicular view of their body. It's good to see it from the back too.
I started archery at the age of 11, over 40 years ago. Never knew, until I saw videos like this on TH-cam, how an arrow warps when it's released. Amazing! (And there are some terrific shots in this video. Very cool.)
It's called the archer's paradox and if the arrow didn't bend it would bounce off sideways and archery would never work.
I can’t imagine how much practice goes in to being so good at this sport.
Lets just say a lot :-)
500 plus arrows each and every day .
A lot, my dear, a lot.
Seriously, they put a camera in the middle. So you get right in the centre and your arrow falls out.
It still counts
The outer ring is so useless in the Olympic archery!
yeh!
Shit happens 😂
wtf 1:24 is crazy, I had no idea how much gravity and wind they have to account for
hahah gravity
@@Kakifruit194 whats wrong?
They’re not compounds. So they’re floating them in at low speeds, heavy arrows, to keep the radical fight down, like shooting pellet gun competitions (low speed + heavy pellet = accuracy) so they’re just lobbing them in. That’s why they might bounce off the target.
It's not as hard as it looks in regards to those factors. They are using "sights" and at most of these events I think they have wind barriers up and stuff to ensure fairness. The hard part is just holding the bow steady at the point of release. That and having good eye sight.
@@visamedic lmao arrows arent heavy ther are actually very light
Hey bro can I start archery at the age of 25 but I am expert in centre point and I want to play from our country in Olympics 🤸♀️🥇🏆 and proud India 🇮🇳 in the world
Hey me too, but yet to start... I m 22.
Bhai jis se puch rahi ho us ko khud nahi pata.
If u really wanna do then go to an expert and ask him.🙂
@@vishalbagdeiitroorkeecs904 😅😅😅😅😅
I have the same feeling
If you want to make your country’s Olympic Team, get a recurve setup and learn to shoot it. There should be a team selection process involving plenty of shooting. If you beat everyone to finish top 3, you make the team.
While it sounds easy, Olympic archery requires as much mental strength as physical (archers lift more cumulative weight than powerlifters during a typical Olympic competition).
Best wishes.
They're all so good - it seems like they should add another smaller circle in the middle...
just a dot in the middle - instant match win
Just add wind.
There’s the 9 ring then the 10 ring and the targets I shoot on do have a smaller ring in the 10. It’s just not all targets
The 122cm Target faces for Olympic recurve division in World Archery has an X ring inside the 10 ring :)
@@grantm6514 there actually was a bit of a breeze. In one of the slow-mo shots you can see the “windsock “ fluttering.
The olympic bows are really hard to shoot. Just a recurve, No peep in the string, No optics, just a pin sight. You shoot with a finger tab, no release device. And (here is the hard part) they are shooting at 70 meters (about 231 feet) or 77 yards. I have shot compound, Olympic, and Crossbow, none of it is easy. Remember, the other guy has equipment just as good as yours. In the days when it was shot with long bows and no sights, they did not always even hit the target at all. Sometimes a person with a lower score could win as it was scored Hits, and then score. So if you had 36 hits, but only scored 200 out of a possible 360 and some one else scored 35 hits with a score of 350 (all tens) The guy with the lower score won! I think that little kink has been solved in the rules now, but I do not know.
Wow, so difficult. No ability to rely on your sight. So terrible.
If you use the same anchor point you don’t need a peep sight.
Actually some of the best shots are not when they just hit a 10, but where they adjust for wind, sometimes in different directions all the way down to the target and still hit a 9 or better.
unpopular fact
I was a champion javelin catcher in college. Anybody can throw javelin or shoot arrows. Catching them is the true test of ability
i used to "catch" a lot of javelins in college. 1st time living away from home, new world, experiences. Maybe a little confused about some feelings i had never felt before. a good looking roommate and running low on money.......shit happens.
Just like when people are looking for a petting zoo. Every zoo is a petting zoo; if you're not a pussy.
The gear you see looks fancy but only helps stabilize the bow a little while aiming and help keep it twisting on release. The skills involved are just like shooting a regular recurve or longbow. People who complete without sights actually use sighting tricks, like counting the wrappings on their strings and looking at spots on the woodgrain of their bows, and are in fact sighting, they just don't have a physical sight. These archers are also only using a front sight and aren't allowed a rear sight or a level. Try shooting a gun without a rear sight. So it depends on them learning to hold their bow absolutely consistently and level every time or the front sight does them no good. This is not like unlimited compounds where a peep sight in the bowstring is allowed.
I don't know why people expect archery to be primitive but don't expect Olympic firearms to be black powder muskets without sights. These are the most ignorant comments I've ever seen on a video. People watch track and field and accept pole vaulters using poles that catapult them over the bar, they don't demand wooden poles or barefoot runners on dirt tracks. All this equipment does is ensure that it is the SKILLS that separate the archers from one another. Wooden bows and especially wooden arrows (far more important than the bows) give random results so they leave a great deal up to chance where the arrow goes. This video also does not give a good impression of how really far away the target is. When they show a full shot note how long it actually takes for the arrow to get to the target. The handles of the bows look really fancy and sexy, but the middle part of the bow is just supposed to be as stiff as possible, it could just as well be a plain bar. All the high-tech look is just marketing and doesn't do anything. The best bows, by Hoyt, in fact, use bamboo cores on their top bow limbs with a carbon fiber overlay. Their basic shape hasn't changed in decades. Those stabilizers help steady the bow but also make it heavier making the sport more athletic. The stronger and fitter you are the better your chances in the sport. Today's archers are pulling stronger bows than 20 years ago and getting better results, it's because of fitness, not gear. All the improvements in archery gear have made further physical demands on the shooters so it is a more athletic contest than it used to be, not less.
All the gee-gaws and doo-dads make these look like military war assault bows which scare people. HELL YES, WE WILL TAKE THOSE BOWS!!
"Today's archers are pulling stronger bows than 20 years ago and getting better results, it's because of fitness, not gear." Really? They are NOT using heavy bow weights. Most of them looked like they were only 20 to 30 meters and judging by the arch, they had to be using less than 30 lb draw weight.
I've been shooting longbow for over 50 years and I can tell. Average bow weight in Olympic archery is 48 for the men and 33 for the women. That's not that much weight.
@@fiddlefaddle1 An average of 48 means many men are shooting over 50#. That's a lot more than in the past. Olympic archers shoot hundreds of arrows a day, that adds up to a lot. There's no way the women are shooting 33# and getting decent scores are 70 meters, it just isn't possible.
Who are here after watching telugu movie lakshya
The denmark girls shot was total perfection, the middle of the middle :O
Domino13334 its called bullseye :-p
Domino13334 Looked like a woman to me.
Domino13334 She was from USA
Domino13334 What does that mean when it bounced out?
The arrow hits the camera lens, but the shoot is good
It's good to see that even at this level they hit blue occasionally :-)
Choking
@Elysium makes us feel good that even the elite make mistakes sometimes
Man that looks easy as hell... 1:23 Oh... Never mind...
1:39 Skyrim in real life
When you have an epic kill cam that follows your arrow, but it misses
And then John Rambo stepped up with Bo and Luke Duke. All three fired dynamite arrows and blew the competition away
He really killed the competition...
*Looks at comment section. Rolls eyes.* Olympic shooting should be done with muskets and flintlocks. Anyone can hit a target with an accurate gun, it takes no skill.
"Bah, any man can hit a target miles away with those fancy modern rifles with them fancy scopes and bipods and muzzle brake and smokeless powders. REAL man use MUSKETS, with primitive iron sights and blackpowders!"
Thats what so many people in this comment section is basically saying lol.
Any truth the American team is going to the next Olympics with a standard household fully automatic military assault rifle.
takes no skill? why dont you try to hold even a pistol and hit your target?
@pavo6503 sarcasm is lost of the easily triggered....
i hand build all these targets for this 2012 olympics :)
How much did you get from doing that?
Very satisfying job I would think! Well done!
cool!!
then tell me, why did sme arrows bounch back
@@dirkven1960 they hit the camera dead on.
Anyone else thinks the Arrows look like beautiful fish swimming in the air ❤
lol when theyre so good their arrows bounce off the micro camera in the center
Damn, i didn't know they have to shoot with such a curve, so high.
Because the Targets are really far away. If they whould shoot straight, the Arrow whould just go into the ground or hit somewhere at the Bottom of the Target. Has to do with some Physical Stuff idk x)
70 meter shot, with a 48 pound bow.
I have this beautiful field behind my house that I shoot. I've been enjoying archery for over 50 years, both longbow and compound. Every archer knows how I feel when they are outside and become one with the arrow. I use this time to meditate and be at peace. I know that some people will never understand how you can find peace with a weapon that can kill but, it is the most wonder time in my day to try to shoot the perfect bulls eye.Thinking about how the bow has changed in composition but, not the basic way that it works. Sorry for the rambling but, I just wanted to say something. Good shooting to all fellow archers.
Ever shoot recurve?
what is wrong with people in the comments?
40-50 pound bow at a target 70 meters away, and they make hitting bullseyes look easy, go try archery before you judge them for using a bow with stabilizers and sights.
Robin Hood is spinning in his grave.
@@davidedwards3361 which one of the supposed five individuals who history says is "Robin hood" would that be then?
Should be using longbows or nothing.
longbowmen... 100 pound draw bow, hitting a man size target from 90 meters away...
why do they NEED sights... or balancing rods... ? I was trained by an olypic archer. She didn't use sights either.
and in retrospect I find all these added gimmicks are taking away the true skill of being an archer.
have tried its easy with a little practice. nothing magic about a stick flying from a taught string. they are using the most advanced tech possible for bows and still miss. explain that?
A1
A pin whole camera. That’s why they didn’t stick in the center.
Holy Cow, I want one of them in my tree stand during Deer Season. Awesome
phantomhive lol
I think those bows are 65”+
Too impractical
awaki66 no u weeb
That was the most American thing I’ve ever seen
No one ever: "Bet you can't shoot an arrow 70m with a 50lb bow and get a bouncer"
Khatuna at 01:40: "Watch and learn"
Did u really say bouncer? Do u know why it bounced?
True skill here. Much better than the overpaid ponces in football and golf.
Geez these guys saying "real archers" can shoot only wooden bows 😂 Yeah, whatever... get back to your Lord of the Rings movies and your medieval conventions (however you call them).
Too right 'D M' :-)
I would bet most of them are not even archers and have some skewed image of what traditional archery is from movies.
D M you couldn't shoot a real long bow if your life depended on it so shut the Fuck up
hank the handkerchief a long bow?.. that's like bragging about a flint lock rifle LoL.. times change.. I'm pretty sure you've "driven a car" somewhere..
SARCASM!!!: Isn't it the case that "real men" don't shoot bows at all? They have their surfs (a.k.a. "archers") do that while they bath in the brook and fornicate with the damsels... ;-)
D M Does D M stand for "Dick Muncher?"
This is obviously the Archers equivalent of a sniper.
Where was MAAAAAARRRRRRRKKKKKKK NNUUUUUUTTTTTT. Classic Achievement Hunter
Two questions:
1) Do females get a handicap for their boobs getting in the way? (in KYUDO the women wear a shield to protect their breasts) AND
2) Does it count if the arrow falls out? Especially if the arrow hits a foreign object, like a camera!
1) there is something know as chest gaurd you can see most them are wearing it !! But actually boobs don't get in the way the string is away from them and even if it is near it only push them not cross them
2) it counts , and the reason of falling didn't matter.
I aim to be this good when I am older. I have a bow and arrow and absolutely love archery. 🤞🤞
What is a good bow for an absolute beginner?
@@glidden67 something like a Pse razorback, samick sage or mandarin duck phantom are all bows that a lot of archers consider most ideal for beginners
@@taeseer6492 cool thx
Ruined by shitty electronic music
The best shot ever was when Robin Hood split Phillips arrow, obviously.
😶
The comments here are completely ignorant! Pretty much no one in the comments talking shit has EVER tried to shoot a bow at ANY distance!
I know personally a guy who was THE top competition bow shooter in the SE division (NFAA) and even he can't come close to these shots with ANY repetition, and he can shoot half dollar targets at 75-100 yards!
These people are the real deal.
hanzo mains sigh
Does it still count if the arrow bounces off ?
Yes, there was a camera in the bullseye
Me:I hit a pig 200 blocks away with my arrow
I totally loved this. A great shot! But I think the best and greatest archery shot was the opening shot at the Barcelona Olympics, hands down.
Do another video for rio 2016 pls !!
Shaiel 9 do one for Tokyo 2020
I remember my lessons in middle school with coach Shane 😂💯
Amazing.
What happens if the arrow falls after hitting the target? Is it still counted? How do they score that?
It counts , they see the mark it left. Don't know of the Olympic level but what we (at nationals) we circle the holes with a pen after removing the arrow !! So one without circle means it is the mark by bounced arrow
All this said usually arrows don't bounce (fall) that much , here it happened due to the camera
I’m drunk, but can do this with my eyes closed. Beer my hold and learn and watch.

@@aaronhutchen1319 lol 😂
Using mechanical bow isn't really impressive. Why don't people choose the traditional bow if they want to know the real arrow shooting competition.
To all of you who are trying to win the competition for the truest form of archery, consider those who do not care which form it comes from. Only that the chance has come to compete. For others the chance will never come for reasons they will never know or that have been taken away. In other words, is it really necessary to bicker over the bow instead of enjoy the ability to shoot?
yes, cause you basically take all the skill out of archery...
@@donnie9001 in Olympic Recurve? No skill required? What smoke are you cracking? OR probably requires more skill than other form of archery!
~But it’s not a traditional stick bow. Nope. Trad bows max distance is 35 yards. OR is shot at 77 yds (70m).
~But it’s got stabilizers and sights.
Yes. The sights are an aiming reference. The Stabilizers balance the bow. The shooter still has to make a perfect shot.
~Why don’t they just shoot barebow?
Barebow is shot at 50m. Again, OR is 70m.
Or how about this. Any of you who think Olympic Style Recurve takes no skill because of the sight and stabilizers, go to your local archery club and take a lesson. Tell the instructor that OR takes no skill, grab one of the clubs Olympic bows, and shoot an 18m round. Perfect score is 300 (30 arrows, max score 10 each arrow.). It takes zero skill right? So you all should be able to shoot a perfect 300. Hell, I’ll even be nice and give you all credit for a 270 (every arrow in the 9). Now that should really take zero skill, right.
Post your shoot on you tube, making sure to emphasize at the beginning, before you’ve shot the bow, how easy it’s going to be, because after all, it takes no skill, right….
Cunt
Did the woman’s bullseye count even though it fell out..? Incredible shot.
best shots ever!(2012 London Olympics only) lol
It is so frustrating to hit that arrow cam dead center and have the arrow bounce and not stick in the target. Why do they bother? If people want to know how it looks and feels to be hit by an arrow, just line them up and have someone shoot them.

the next time I shoot up a movie theater I'm using an assault bow.
Darn.
The music was rather repetetive and boring but the video was fine so mute and enjoy
They all look like the sort of guys you'd cast as archers in a movie too 😆
People who say that this is not archery, must be living in the forests.
Dunno about you but I was surprised at the height those arrows reached at the top of their 'arch'.
MARK NUTT!!!
Nicholas Besso Mark Nuttttttt
Let’s put a camera in the very center, they won’t hit it
Like the video, it just works well with the images and the music
Why oh why do we have to have this bloody music🤦♂️🤦♂️
Me : Hmmmm...pretty good
Hawkeye: Hold my bow..
And you felt we needed the stupid "music" because......
The equipment is absurd. How about using a simple, uniform wooden bow- something like one design racing in sailing- then we could find out who is the best archer? How about moving targets?
What with the music. WHAT WAS THE BEST SHOT.
Too lazy to provide any commentary.
That flip of the bow they all do after the shot is oddly bothersome.
It is natural. Without the sling they have, the bow would fall. They don't hold the bow at all, you have mon control if only the tension of your arm holds it in place.
th-cam.com/video/8rMueNtXrAs/w-d-xo.html Great channel that explains a lot to someone new to archery or just plain curious.
Gripping the bow inevitably causes torque on release. So they are actually only pushing the bow forward while they are aiming, not grasping it. So there is no support for the bow after the arrow is released and the bow falls into the sling. This takes a lot of practice.
Cheater bows. No skill. No strength. Is that a level bubble? Wtf.. What turds. Then someone says... You have no idea.. Yea i do. And neither do you. Internet degrees. Don't like my opinion? Don't commment or reply back.. Just ignore me. You win if you ignore me.
No bubble level or rear sight allowed. No optics in the sights, just a pin or a circle. They are shooting 50# bows or stronger which use to be considered for hunters. That takes A LOT of strength and those stabilizers require a lot more strength to hold the bow up. Walmart arrows could not be shot accurately because they have different weights and stiffness. Non-uniform arrows cannot be shot accurately and have nothing to do with skill. However, if you gave one of these archers good arrows with cheep bows without sights and a week to practice they would do very well, as long as the bow was strong enough to reach the distances. They are using only ONE sighting tool, the front pin, for the rear sighting they must go by feel and experience. How well would you shoot a gun with no rear sight at all, just a front mark? And that's discounting scopes of course. I do have an idea, I shot Olympc archery for years, competed in national championships. The biggest change was getting good arrows while I still had a cheap fiberglass bow and I was winning tournaments. Those stabilizers don't help them aim, they just reduce torque on release. For all but the very top archers they wouldn't make any difference in your accuracy. Just like really expensive golf clubs won't improve an average golfer's game at all.
as the girls arrows can't even stick in...enemies don't even die when she shoots them!
Hu, how come that bull-s-eye shot didn't go in?
Sven AERTS Same quesfion. And did it count?
Apparently there's a tiny camera right at the centre of the target, and that archer managed to hit it. And yeah that would have counted.
John L Bales probably not
Sven AERTS sometimes it happens because of your form or release or follow-through
Vaporr Immune no it hit camera n it counts as perfect 10
Surprisingly disappointing. Half of the video is mood/fluff. The rest is just money shots, which lack all drama when pulled out of context. (Context being the flight of the arrow to the target, and also the competition & scoring.) The pros at the editing desk managed to take something very impressive and make it boring.
What about Lars Anderson?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Yeah what about him? Oh right, he does not compete.
The bows he uses...the arrow wouldn't even reach this target.
His entire emphasis is on speed and he claims this was the essence of historical archery. This is not true. Traditional archers shot at very long distances with very powerful bows pulling quite far back, and shot in coordinated groups to land in a general area of a battlefield. These groups were called clouts, it's where we get the expression "having a lot of clout".Thus, archers were used at the beginning of a battle and were the original artillery to soften up the enemy beforehand to hand fighting. They certainly did use quivers, contrary to his claim, it's an ancient word. He claims, on the basis of a few paintings, that archers normally held the arrow on the right side of the bow. This is not born out ty the general record, and he has to hold the arrow with his thumb to keep the arrow on the bow, something his own evidence does not show. Old bows have arrow shelves on the other side. Asian traditional archers released from their thumbs which is why they put their arrows on the other side, not what tradtional European archers did. It is not possible to draw a strong bow with his grip, certainly not one that would should a heavy armor-piercing war arrow 250 plus yards. To watch a real hunter pulling a strong bow shooting fast instinctively look at videos of Howard Hill, Hollywood's best all-time archer. Anderson is only good at accuracy with speed at extremely short distances. His claim that traditional archers never shot at targets is also false. A traditional round target holder was known as a butt and archers that practiced together (a requirement in Medieval England) were known as buttees. That word became buddies. That this word has such an ancient link in archery target shooting refutes his claim.
Most interesting comment aware goes to you good sir. Thankyou
Best shot I even made was by accident at a 3D tournament. It was getting late and the target was at 45yrds. My buddy told me “ you see my knock...just aim for it.” “Robin Hooded” it. I think he was shooting 20-something-or-others, I was shooting 2013’s (I think) and just buried my arrow into his. I tried for a week after that, at 20 yards , not sure how many arrows I shot, and finally split, shredded one of mine.
why does the bow drop down like that?
because they are not holding it, that way they are reducing the risk of moving the bow when they release. To catch the bow, they tie a sling to their fingers around the bow handle.
archery is life Yup.
More like they're not "grasping" it. They do hold it between the index and the thumb.
th-cam.com/video/8rMueNtXrAs/w-d-xo.html
they are all using a finger or wrist sling, increases accuracy because they aren't gripping the bow at all!
I once saw an archer do a "Robin Hood", he actually split a previous arrow with a second launch. I almost peed my pants. I've heard of that happening but never saw one. m
Look at all the gadgets they use for help. They should do an instinctive archery shoot. That'll show who's really top dog.
of course the accessories hep with the accuracy, but that is also why they are shooting from further away. No instinctive archer in the world can shoot like they are shooting. Shots like you see in this video need perfect form, a perfect wind compensation and a perfect concentration. If you are not amazed by this, I suggest you try shooting a modern bow, even a compound, and then you will realize how difficult this is. Don't get me wrong though, instinctive archery is amazing too, and I would love to see the best shots from an instinctive competition, you just can't say one is more impressive than the other, since they do not have the same standards. It's like comparing formula 1 races with rally races.
I agree. I shoot instinctively more than i do with a sight. Barebow or occasionally longbow. What Chad fails to realise is that the poundage of these bows are really high. If a beginner tried to draw an arrow with one they would either not be able to or wobble like crazy at full draw. The gadgets just help, it doesn't really improve their skill. Just little things to make life a little easier
Flippywoo Woo Hi mate, no offence bud, but the poundage of modern bows is actually a lot lighter than what someone would be using when going traditional. To get the same fps arrow speed that these modern bows produce, one needs to be using #70+ in a traditional recurve bow.
I help run a traditional archers club in the U.K, #60 is the lowest draw weight we use, highest is #95 (he uses a tradional turkish recurve horsebow). We shoot 350+ arrows each in a session. Simply comes down to physical conditioning, training regime and how hard one wants to push their body.
Thunder Foot Hey just a question, you said you guys shoot 350+ arrows in a session, witch is impressible btw, but how many sessions do you have per week? And do you use your back muscles or your arms to pull back? I'm asking this simply because I don't know much about traditional archery (I shoot modern recurve)
archery is life Hi mate, Archery Is Life! love the name :-). Winter time, once or twice a week (we shoot outdoors only, wind, rain, snows all fair game). Spring and summer its 4 maybe 5 times because theres small competitions to prepare for. All back and shoulder blades, we learnt from mistakes with obvious shoulder issues in the early days xD (learn the hard way eh?).
-
We once did a Tenthousand arrow shoot (ten members shoot 1000 arrows each, in one day). It was a charity fund raiser. Took everyone nearly enough 10hrs to complete.
-
when shooting traditional, i think its just down to simplicity of gear - or lack of it to be precise. Theres little to no time wasted knocking, theres no plungers, sights, slings or releases etc to fiddle with. Arrow rests on your hand and not on a shelf. From the arrow starting off in the quiver you can knock and shoot an arrow (full draw) in 3 seconds comfortably from back quiver and 4 from hip, if your shooting thumb release these times are considerably less - 5-6 seconds if you want to take plenty of time to aim.

Archery is truly Life!!
Peace :-)
i dislike this competition, using compound bows, blah..show me someone that can shoot traditional bows and now we talking...
There is not one compound bow in this video, they are using recurve bows. Its very high tech versions of recurve bows but a recurve bow itself is very old and simple
@@darioranft9148 point taken but still too much high tech for me to like this competition...
donnie h i agree. It seems like most competitions these days have little to do with the original idea of the sport..
Olympic archery is mostly a form rather than an aiming sport but it’s still really difficult
@@darioranft9148 yup. quite a shame. they need to do a reboot and go backwards, instead of trying modernize everything..
those are ALL VERY common shots in an archery competition. this video is a click bait
well not that katuna lorig shot though, that's pretty rare
Really? The exact center of the bullseye is "very common"?
Most bow hunters can do that all day long
What bullshit with these bows. What’s next, laser driven arrows you could shoot from your bathroom and still get a bullseye
All right, but...I prefer Lars Andersen.
Ferran Mansergas That's not even comparable.
Lars is far more interesting.
he is a trick shot expert, not an Olympian, he has not shown or record to shoot his arrows over a long distant, he might have train off camera but i doubt it since he is mostly focus on getting the trick shot which is very complicated, i doubt he has the time to train Olympic style archery because that isn't his show is about.
What a target shot by the players. This is not an easy game when your target was too far from you. I think I should try practicing this sport.

it would have been harder with a real bow
as far as I know those are real bows
archery is life with real bow i mean wooden with no helping equipments
Well I can't contradict you on that, doing this with a traditional bow would be near impossible
archery is life no it wouldnt
archery is life they r not even that far from the target. war archers shot from long distance and close
Want to see some really impressive Archery google Howard Hill or Byron Ferguson.
What's with all the fancy gear? Compounds without the wheels. They should restrict what equipment they can use then see who shoots the best. Howard hill would've smoked these guys
So you want them to go barebow and bring the target in closer?
Sulliver Vittles Considering a traditional Longbow is capable of a 200yd shot the target wouldn't need to move at all.
Actually a traditional longbow is not necessarily capable of shooting 200 yards, it depends on poundage and even then it would be a clout shoot.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clout_archery
Historically only war bows would be of the high poundage draw (+100lb) that people typically associate with longbows and in fact most long bows are of a significantly lower poundage as most people couldn't even pull a 100lb bow to full draw.
I'm more interested in seeing people shoot bullseyes. Without a sight, the pros would have shit accuracy at that range.
I don't see what's the problem with gear, it doesn't take away skill.
I don't care for all the crap they got hanging from their bows. Weights, stabilizers, releases, mumbo-jumbo thing-a-ma-call-its. I would prefer to watch Archery skills a recurve bow, a string and an arrow. Just saying.....
you are not an archer, don't watch this.
@@raymondschroeder7270 this isn't real archery...
@@raymondschroeder7270 I shoot a self bow to hunt, and my entire family enjoys the arrow sports very much. We don't buy gizmos to hang on our bows to help hit the target. So I guess your right, I'm not an archer.
Would I be killed by the fans if I said that instead of an aluminum/titanium/kryptonium bow with
balance weights and all sorts of bells and gizmos. They should give an archer a bit of willow
and a string and see just how good they really are.
An unskilled archer with all the tech is still an unskilled archer. All that's important is that they all follow the same rules regarding equipment.
It makes no difference if they are all using traditional longbows or the highest tech compound bows.
Outland but a unskilled archer with all the tech would do better using the tech vs a regular bow. That is the point. Your point about them using the same equipment and rules is pointless.
Not really, a total beginner would probably shoot no better with an Olympic bow than they would with a bare bow or longbow. And these are not unskilled archers, they are some of the best archers in the world so as long as they all follow the same rules regarding equipment it makes no difference.
Outland your not getting it. If I'm the greatest NASCAR driver there ever was, that dosnt make me the best racecar driver there ever was. Calling them the most skilled archers in the world is a mistake. They might be the most skilled archers using all these gadgets, but not the most skilled archers.
Well, the last thing I have to say is I have been shooting for 20 years and have shot with archers from all disciplines including some of these people. They are exceptional archers regardless of the equipment they are using and even though my thing is now longbow (I used to regularly and still do occasionally shoot Olympic style bows) all of the archers here would still out shoot me with a longbow or bare bow.
These are not the best shots ever. These are fairly straight forward for people of their calibre. Pretty much what you would see at any pro event.
What an awful video! What is the intent with the horrible music??
Most of the target is redundant for some of these athletes. A target of 2" diameter would look pretty cool at 70m...
Sooo basically if you get a 9, you might as well just go home
They get 9's a lot.
Hmmm... I am not pro, but i am able to shoot 3 10 out of 6. Pro's must do 6 out of 6 and its normal. First shots are not best.
is no one interested in that fine music ? ;-) it is greatful ! does anybody know it ? Shazam founds nothing :-( so sad
You learn how to use these sites and then nothing but net computer off shut the phone off that there is no tone If Only You your eyes your senses your hands it's only you you and your aircraft
I'm glad gun powder was invented... makes quick work of someone with a bow and arrow.. LOL.
Great video; bloody annoying music.
