Team USA archery

[destroyerx32]

@shirosu because the force of these bows is massive and they have a trap on their 2 fingets thats holds and bo so bow doesnt drops

[qutip14]

Can anyone tell me what the poundage is on these bows...or whats the average or limtit? thanks.

[foxbow15]

the guy at that starts at 0.26...... is he good?

[tutatis007]

¿¿¿¿¿¿??????.......¿what do you think?

he is part of the U.S.A. archery team

[hhh4evur]

@foxbow15 He must be hes on the US team, but I see what ur saying. His form does look alittle iffy

[onehotarcher]

this is at the colorado Olympic Training Center, right?

[Goukakyuu78]

i think youll find that its at the athens practice grounds for the olympics

[australien67]

son??

[RONAN374]

what are thoes poels on the bottom of the bow?

[TalonSi7]

Counter-Balance

[Damico07]

@RONAN374 stabalizer

[cat1fish1]

jensmariusbenja you are a dipshit.. his v bar has nothing to do with the bow jumping left..all right handed archers are shooting slightly to the left.. a true straight line would be right through the back of ur head and thats impossible.. so when you shoot slightly to the left and that part of the triangle breaks, if you are truely relaxed your arm must go down due to gravity and left because you are shooting slightly to the left..oh and they shoot 70 meters not 90

[Nimrodholakoo]

the first guys is soo sux i donot see any thing good in him and the second is semi good

[r1a2c3e4r5]

this video stinks! EWW WHAT A SMELL

[Johnpauljone]

Archers are SExy

[etrigan63]

I shoot an Alpine quad limb compound targeting bow dialed in to 45lb. They look to be using Hoyt risers w/CX900 limbs and Easton stabilizers. Pretty much the rest of the world uses Simack (Korean) bows as Korea has dominated the sport since 1988.

[uknowwho889]

dude, first of all, Vic Wunderle (the last guy on this vid) shoots a mathews riser, not hoyt. And the rest of the world isn't using sAmIck stuff, archers shoot what they prefer, or what they get given. Most of the top archers could shoot any reasonably high spec riser and limbs to an incredible standard... usually they use the bows from the companies that sponsor them.

[etrigan63]

I stand corrected. Spelling too.

[Goukakyuu78]

CXs went invented back then. this is from 2004, CXs are a 2008 model. first guy has a matrix second an axis, probably G3 limbs which were top of the range back then

[bowhunter678]

dungman101 you're a retard obviously a stabiliser helps with stability

[jensmariusbenja]

god that guy could realy use a v-bar he have got sugde a good bow arm but the bow still jumps left in allmost every shot...

[bigbootyjoeschmo]

i wanna see what they shot...see if they are really really like mahines!!! lol

[dcaonoek]

Dungman101's name says it all.

All he has said, says and will say is all from his arse.

[renj123]

cool, dungman101. you're the smartest guy on earth. you know everything about archery! wow. i was so stupid to mention that a stabiliser stabilises the shot. (i hope you know you're being insulted cuz if you don't, that's an extra insult to your intelligence.)

[world1archer]

USA team archery is pretty good.. but im 14 year old junior archer from asia will beat them someday..(in recurve competition!)represent my country.

[dungman101]

dude, im korean, american.

either way, we'll whoop you to ur native country, where verybody probably sucks, as ur comment suggests.

[jmyst619]

their form sucks! no wonder they cand beat the asian archers!!!

[ace16807]

Their form is what the US teams have been basically using before Kisik Lee. It doesn't really suck, I mean, Wunderle got a silver. It just doesnt have the same performance capabilities as the BEST method does. So there form doesnt really suck. It's just not "modernized". (Ummm, just for the record, they can beat some Asian teams. Not as often as the Asians beat the US team, but occasionally.)

[dungman101]

and you, yes, the us has defeated "asia" several times.

[j0vencio]

ahhhhmmmm.... when?

research please... before disclosing such argumentative details.

FYI, ASIAn countries like Korea & China are top players when it comes to archery, and that is based on recent events.

[d0su]

Tell that to the Ukraine and Italy

[dungman101]

and you, sir, are a person who has no knowledge of archery genetics!

form doesnt matter. ur head does. if you think is good, its good. everyone does something different to fit thier needs. if u need to, actually i want u to, talk to Al Lizzio. hes my coach. he'll give u a piece of his mind, jerk.

is ur form so good?

then post it on ur profile.

by the way, "asia" is not a country

[jmyst619]

watever men... huh? asia a country? did i mention anything about asia as a country!?

your just making up shit...

lets just see what will be their rankings in the olympics if they win in team or in individual... then i'll take back what i said... but if they dont... they will still suck!

[HeartBrakeCity]

i have a black recurve bow and im 13, i pull 28 pounds and my bow is 68 inches and my draw length is 29 inches.

[dungman101]

same thing! im 13, black recure 28 lbs everything!

[United94]

Im shooting recurve 28lbs too. what distance do you shoot from?

[dungman101]

ah

25 meters?

30?

[jensmariusbenja]

90 with 50 lbs hehe

[FlamingArcher]

70m

[Shineko234]

why does the bow like dRop?

[pullnshoot25]

Follow-through recoil.

[renj123]

recoil's the wrong word. recoils only happen in guns, where all forces are static, and when you fire, a new force is introduced in the gun onto the bullet. Newton's third law produces the recoil.

[pullnshoot25]

I stand corrected. I knew it sounded funny when I wrote my comment, I just couldn't think of a better term.

[renj123]

However, in bows, there's a static force acting downwards from the tip of the bow, since you have the stabiliser rods (which create greater stability). However, in order to be accurate, you have to let the bow fly out naturally with the arrow. That is the only way to give the shot maximum stability. Hence, the bow appears to 'drop' but really, it flies OUT, stops short and swings down as it gets caught in the fingersling the archer wears.

[dungman101]

ok dumbshit. u just said somethign like "a blender blends" a stbalizer indeed stabalizes the shot, but it bends. then u shoot, there is a natrual left and right tourqe. to combat this the long rod stabalizer was created. the v-bar will take care of up and down. but the front and back toruqe are taken care of by ur finger sling. now. explain to the person who doesnt know what a stabalizer is what a stbalizer is.

[abcmickyj]

dungman101 GET OVER YOURSELF!

You are not the best archer in the world and with that attitude i doubt you ever will be. Sorry, but it had to be said.

[amwhy2311]

No sound, no target, just old guys shooting. Nice bows. 3 stars.

[WhammyBar224]

it didnt even show where the arrow landed on the target

[Arinelen]

Why aren't they shooting with v-bars? Sorry if that's a completely ignorant question. I shoot compound, and all I know about recurves is what I hear when my recurve teammates are talking to each other.

[bowcoach]

There are generally two schools of thought on this topic. One suggests that the bow should move forward from the hand immediately following the shot process. Within this range an archer may manipulate the v-bar config to suite his preference for reaction speed. Another method is to have the bow stay in the hand during the shot, this has a slower reaction, and does not move forward after the shot.

[Arinelen]

So for the second kind, then, people don't use a v-bar?

[bowcoach]

Correct. It consists of a main stab and a back weight, no v bars. This method as used by Butch Johnson and others has not proven successful in the Olympics at the individual level, but it may just be that it's really not that popular outside the U.S. With the arrival of Korean coach, Kisik Lee here in the U.S., I suppose that method will become even less favored. (Notice almost all Korean bows are set up the same).

[Arinelen]

Thanks! That was really helpful.

[fmstatic25]

i was taught to draw the arrow back to my cheek, they are bringing it back to under their chin, whats the difference?

[pop9900]

different sights, generally your taught "cheek shooting" when you fire without a sight

[archerygod]

the form will change now that ki sik lee is here, just check my vids out, only shooting his style for 2 weeks when it was taken.

[trexx32]

can you say boring

[ismokealltap]

man american archers look like complete homos when they shoot. hopefuly that will change now the've got Ki Sic

[Altimaden]

man ki sic is da bomb-digity

got his book? its damn excellent

bu yeah that american archers got some good damn form, love his relaxed-ness

[Altimaden]

p.s. holy crap hes got the same sight i do!!

[Obstammfuhrer]

What's wrong with their form now?

[shirosu]

can someone message me telling me why they let the bow drop after theyre done with the shot.

[matrixx]

this is because the force will be greater when the bow is 'let' out after shoot..it is also known as follow through..most of the shots can be determined if it is good or not juz by looking at the follow through =D ENJOY THE VIDEOS!

[Obstammfuhrer]

They're shooting with open hands, to help prevent from torquing the bow. After release, the bow jumps forward, hits their finger sling, and the weight on the stabilizer carries the bow downward.

[Whirry]

It drops because you are not meant to hold the bow tightly, the only reason why it dosen't fly out of thier hands is because it's attached with a bow sling between the thumb and index finger.

You don't hold it tightly so there is less external force acting on the bow, a more consistent shot.

[sakygen]

When making a shot, an archer is not supposed to be applying too much force on the handle, that's why when the force is released, the bow drops by itself. Archers have arrow slings on their hands so it wouldn't drop on the ground.

[Chillmann]

I saw so many professional archers shooting, i was practising with two archers from the german and the dutch national team today. Might be that it looks weird for me cause of the baseball cap which is aslope on Johnsons head

[shirosu]

hella nice bows

[Chillmann]

crazy techniques! Johnson seems like he's going to fall asleep while shooting ;-) never saw an archer shooting like this...

[MayBe333]

then you never saw a professional archer before I guess...
