legolas would kick their asses

[dgrayman71]

For everyone that says anything about sights, let me give you some food for thought. In the Olympics, normal shot is at 70 meters. Do the conversion, 76 yards, visual please. You are at the end zone, shoot it at the 25 yard line. Not in front of you, but on the other side of the field. In the World Cup it is set at 50 meters, past the 50 yard mark. Can you really make that shot without sights and get the angle right? Most people cant, that is the reason for sights, correct angle and trajectory.

[Robearwgl]

WTF, is Hoyt the only bow allowed?

[pannenkoekjerg]

@Robearwgl I don't think so

The woman recurve finals were shot with win&win inno caron

I think man recurve finals were shot with inno carbon too,

there was Win&Win and Hoyt

(correct me if I'm wrong though)

[dgrayman71]

@Robearwgl Hoyt is the only company that makes a decent bow that keeps its consistancy. Samick and a few others have made it in. However, most people feel better with something that combines wood and carbon fibers versus a lot of wood and laminates.

[kixigvak]

Just for comparison I should be in there with my 65 lb yew longbow and my Port Orford cedar arrows.

[OneRing19]

they all should be using traditional bows. there no skill in using a compound just look through your sights. use bows without sights !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. i do

[shawnzingerdinger]

@OneRing19 the recurve shooters have sights too. and take it from a compound shooter your not anything more special. look at the scores between the recurves and the compounds, there not much different, it takes just as much skill to shoot a compound as it does a recurve its just a different kind of skill,

[archigaga]

@shawnzingerdinger Bollocks

[shawnzingerdinger]

@archigaga you can argue with me all you want but when you can show up shoot and shoot a compuound at that distance and score well then you can talk shit to me i score in the same area with my recurve as i do my compound, both take alot of skill to shoot. if you showed up to any fita shoot you will see what im talking about, but i think you need to know how to shoot before you come out. no offense but if your using trad equipment with no sights thinking you can compete you are entirely wrong.

[dgrayman71]

@shawnzingerdinger I would be to differ. On a compound you have the left off where the cams take over. On a recurve there is nothing to take off your slack. When you pull back you are pulling every pound that the bow has. The farther back you pull the more weight you are pulling and have to maintain it until you release. It makes for a harder shot when trying to keep the arrow back and not let it go and then get your sights onto target.

[shawnzingerdinger]

@dgrayman71 thats a very goo point you have there sir. but most recurve bows shot in competition are not high poundage bows for that very reason... i think its more of an all out strength kind of deal on that one...

[TheChaosAdept]

@OneRing19 there IS skill required for that. If you had tried it, you would have known.

[anotherelvis]

Why are they using telecopes before shooting?

[TLRChad]

At the distances they're shooting they sometimes need a spotting scope to see arrow placement.

[mohrsvillecoolkids]

@anotherelvis so they can see where their previous arrow hit

[scapenite23]

wow m, maliazzo was really good. all his points were atleast in 8-10. s terry didnt do too good.

[kurogane10]

WHOOT WHOOT GO LUZMARY!!!

[1776usaalltheway]

I wonder if you can buy a cheap HOYT knock off from china

[GreenTeaGringo]

guys i'm frustrated because they never tell us what the distance is on these videos.

[ppeek2]

70 meters

[GreenTeaGringo]

thanks

[KRAZIE0919]

i'd love to see some people use old classic wooden bows instead of the ones used today.

[Whatsmahpasswurd]

@KRAZIE0919 probably get the same results I mean I'd take a old long bow over these xl98gibjhab things any ways but at a tournament level you have to go with the sure thing and I'm sure theres rules saying what bow and arrow types you can use

[MutteringUrchin]

Great upload. Purchasing a Recurve in a few weeks. Woot. And yes, Olympic-level archery is bloody hard.

[dogonskis]

LUCKY!!! $31000 in less than 1 hour for Gaiazzo

NIIIICE, i wish i can be that lucky :P although i know he had to work hard to win that competition

[Rallyspeeddk]

Very nice video. I have made one video with my Mathews Drenalin LP.

[JiraiyaQWERT]

Archery looks like a fucking beast skill. I wish I can learn it sometimes when Im out of or during college. Like during the weekends or something

[chonne81]

haha i know one in the audience :P

[DaigurenHynomaru]

They were wrong Kwak's birth date is 1982 however the commentator said 17

[shinigami301]

The on-screen profile is wrong. She is 17.

[dogonskis]

she looks more like a 17 year old than a 27 year old...

[TheUntouchable5]

LOL at Terry's first shot, listen carefully 9:44

[Acecarey]

classic

[MrTerrificII]

Wonderful! Thank you.

[oknab]
