Do they pick the bows color? every american recurve archer ive seen today and yesterday have pink bows haha

[uknowwho889]

@TheWarrior400 yes, you pick your own bow colour. Brady shoots a pink bow to represent and support cancer research. No one on the international circuit shoots a pink riser except for Brady.

At 5:09 why did he say "Crispin in control right now"? Isn't Crispin from Canada?

[QcArchery]

@Archergod He is :)

[uknowwho889]

@Archergod Crispin in commentating. He says '...and Crispin, in control right now...' the other commentator is talking to Crispin.

[Archergod]

@uknowwho889 Ah I get it now. I was thinking that guy shooting is not Crispin why did the commentator says Crispin is in control. Thanks!

Brady might not have the best form but it is definitely one of the most consistent

[igodzila7]

@Shadowjester00 what you said contradicts itself.. he shoots consistently because he HAS a good form.

[Shadowjester00]

@igodzila7 Wrong... Look at 2008 olympic champion victor something(I forgot his name). His form is not good in a way it just includes a lot of inconsistency within. Basically because he doesn't have the standard korean form. There is no arguing that there are other forms out there that can beat the korean ones because they set the standard. I am not saying it is unbeatable BUT currently the chances are lower and if you think about it koreans have won many competitions

[igodzila7]

@Shadowjester00 How much do you know about the form the American coach teaches?

[Shadowjester00]

@igodzila7 Well I am no expert but generally what I heard(it is not like I personally know him so is what I heard) is that he teaches something I call 'best form' meaning he teaches the archer to shoot in a way that is best for him. So obviously when it is best for you, you shoot better right? Anyway in archery, form is important but if you have good form but it is not consistent then you won't shoot well right? Who ever say having a good form gives you good score?

[igodzila7]

@Shadowjester00 Well I do personally know him lol. I take his form and tweak it to my comfort, but still use the feeling that is the most important. Regardless of how you look it still is an excellent form with consistent shots. but W/E. Theres more to you that meets the eyes :d

[Shadowjester00]

@igodzila7 Okay first, my arguments were based on shooting a lousy looking form doesn't mean you would shoot bad. Second, I said that he does not have the BEST form<(I mean when you look at it) but I never said it wasn't a good form so your point??

[Shadowjester00]

Adding on, I am not saying his form is shitty but it isnt the best. From what I know, the American Coach is from Korea and the way he goes about teaching them is not making them shoot the Korean way but shoot the way best for them which is why I would call it "best form" but only for the archer himself. My coach is from Korea and she is friends with the current Korean archers as well as coaches from Korea meaning even if the coaches are coaching other countries which is where I learn from.

[Shadowjester00]

@QcArchery Okay basically my point was that he does not have the best form in terms of looks. Okay maybe I am superficial and it just don't seem like he can hit the 10 if I just see ONE shot of his but with many shots, his form is very consistent.Obviously we can all see that.

Also, I never said Koreans are the gods of the technique but they currently are considered the best and even if brady starts winning them, you can't deny they still hold world records.

[Shadowjester00]

@QcArchery Anyway it doesn't matter where the Koreans learn it from. If they are owning right now, they are the so called 'gods' now but I wouldn't call them that because they can be beaten so since gods arent really beatable so yeahhhh not gods just good. Anyway friendly discussion. Thanks for the good info lol.
