[bambihunter28]

No but it helps so much it makes shure you have the same exact anchor point every time.

[mariahaleman]

Do you really have to press your face agenst the string like that?

[blackfeatherarchery]

Excellent shooting by both women.

[littlekiwi7]

they are really good and could beat me any time



[TheDentist09]

Sport for fatties

[TheSuperRunner]

These competitions should be using recurves. Comps are cheap...

[blackfeatherarchery]

@TheSuperRunner Compoundbow's are affordable and more advance i prefer compound over traditional anytime.

[papaburger]

The russian girl is better looking.

[tinifcarter]

@papaburger as usual.

[RoosterRoox]

@papaburger The other one is a DUDE by comparison, with all due respect.

[TheDragonlord10]

you must be well skilled to play that well in those windy conditions

[HAWK4413]

It's so cool man.

[dimetimetom]

good shooting for being that windy

[Chisaineko44]

ok. the french girl is good. i do medieval archery myself. they would kick my ass.

[jdogb1]

nice Bowtech Russia, congrats

[karikaru]

the russian girl is pretty cute. btw what was up with the music at this event?

[ImHomeAtLast]

thought the use of stabalizers werent allowed, especially on a compound bow and peep sights and the lot....

[JaedomHexen]

Compound can have almost any accessories, the recurve competitions especialy in the Olympics can not have peeps sites or even the 97 to date no- peep alignment attachment, can't remember the correct name for it but it basicly replaces the peep site usualy on the string and in my mind is better. You can still have stabilizers and front site in the recurve competitions as far as I can remember.

[1234anima]

i had my style its a blind spot!

[Uncerten]

i got a hoyt eclips wif hoyt limbs and the cartel stabeliser set with a w&w sight

[timthearcher1]

sweet

[Tacos915]

i shoot compound but i like recurve better

[Uncerten]

u should switch

[antzzz111]

how far are they shooting? (yards)

[Sparven77]

70 meters = 76.55 yards

[nerdybirdy323]

the stabilizers are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge compared to hunting bows

[timthearcher1]

i shoot recurve!

[Uncerten]

same

[timthearcher1]

what kind do you have? I shoot a winact with t-rex limbs and an easton stabilizer. oh and also some sight that i dont remember what brand.

[dangerriff]

That wind make the competition like lotery

[trashlegend]

Its not the bow,its the shooter!!

[jjorso]

HOYT is the way to go

[snowboardingguy2]

I agree with jmcbr600. Even a little wind is terrible shooting conditions.

[ruckerd2324]

the spectators are having fun...that would be like watching paint dry...

[ransomoakes]

lol.. there was like one clap...

[Iceprince4500]

haha, blues bros!!! lol

[johncody32]

if you gonna shoot bows shoot a mathews!!

[unap16]

love the commentator!

[jmcbr600]

That wind is brutal.

[JoeC12345689]

this is ok but they need to go hunting

[sunmaat]

Hah, a Bowtech called a 'simple hunting bow'! That's a bit of a laugh.

These professional archers usually train around people who blow whistles and shout on release. They have to. Otherwise they would be releasing poorly every time someone opened their mouth and no-one would win anything. The true professionals aren't bothered by distractions.

[ScudMANdingo]

stupid politics messing up competitions

[blackfeatherarchery]

Congradulation on (RUS) win. This was an excellent shooting footage with high wind's. I am gonna give them 5 stars.

[ca12bon]

btw I'm asian so I have the right to tell it as it is... the friggin Olympics should not have been held in such a primitive culture.

[SyCAzN]

Asian? Since when?

[ca12bon]

The fucking CHinese have messed up manners. THey blow whistles right before release, when it comes to players from other countries, then they go super quiet when a player from their country goes up. Leave it for them retarded bunch of smelly poor people to be a total jerk off. Call me rascist BOO HOO

[stupidawesome123]

i know that it seems mean but its true.... many US contestants were ripped off in many ways. like gymnastics and archery

[shinigami301]

Can you furnish a single example of how any American archer was "ripped off" in ANY way in Beijing?

[stupidawesome123]

i saw several others other than archery but i recall two compound contestent who were distracted by the audience with party poppers (they were chinese and got kicked out) but the judge did't allow a reshoot

[shuggiehamster]

totally unlike what the american fans did during the ryder cup (golf) against europe a few years back where US fans ran onto the green BEFORE the euro got to putt for a tie AND continued to shout distractions during the euro's putt. I think this is called hole field advantage.

[jessecambre]

Yes you are correct Scarlatto90 a "simple hunting bow" is incorrect. I made a biased comment since I shoot a Bowtech Guardian and prior to that I shot a Bowtech Patriot. I guess you can say I was happy to see my kind of bow in the tournament. Thanks for the correction. Jesse

[jessecambre]

Man the french girl used a tricked out hoyt target bow and was still beat by a russian with a simple hunting bow!!! BOWTECH.

[loghunter]

you got it,the Russian shot a BT Constitution w/shibuya sight and a fall-away rest, see both wrist sling and finger sling, ok actually that was a blue shoe string!

BOWHUNTER

[Turdnit]

I guess that tells you, you can't underestimate a simple hunting bow.

[Scarlatto90]

The russian is using a Bowtech Constitution which is not a simple "hunting bow" it is also perfect for a FITA or an indoor. I would like to remember you that Albina loginova arrived second at Lipsia (world games).

[bvd7]

If it can an interest to anybody, the Russian girl was hesitating whether it was her turn to shoot during the time frame starting 02:09.

She asks someone beside her: "Should I shoot?.. Why?.. Are you sure?.." And finally she shoots and scores the 3d 9.
