try traditonal archery. you won't get to hold a longbow bow back for even a quarter of the time that you can hold a compound. and yes i've shot both. and the longbow is my favorite because of the challenge

@motanelu20 you can believe what you like. call Hoyt and ask them what I shoot , since they send me my bows directly. it's all about biomechanics. there's no arm muscle involved. it's all back muscle. and 60lb is not common on the international scene for women, but it's not unheard of. many of the top women shoot 55lb plus. we used to do 70lb spts on the recurve for giggles. if you don't know who Jamie and Ivana are, i'd suggest you could stand to do a little research before dismissing them.

Ivana Buden shoots at a maximum of 60lbs on her bow, which is the maximum bow poundage allowed for UK target competitions and she really CAN pull 60lbs. Benefits of training in the gym, I daresay.

You move your head to the string once you've turned your head it should not move ....and the string should come to your reference points

after the first shot, her face look's like : damn shot

[justaHEMI]

ohh god... no bow is better then the other!

i shoot Compound, Recurve and Longbow

i shoot Longbow just for fun, Recurve for Distance Between 5 to 50m, and Compound 40 to 130m and yes, i´m a 3D shooter all Type of bow´s have they´r own "Challenge"

What kind of arrow rest are you using?

[robbbinhoodx]

she needs to pull through the shot more, and get a more consistant anchor by having her right hand get in behind the jawbone more instead of just floating!

Don't feed the troll, they will only come back to bite you. Anyways, great form and wonderful to see you educating other young women/men about the sport. My niece is 8 and immediately started asking me questions one day when I was watching you and erika's vids for form reference, and now she wants a bow. You guys may not realize how easily you can empower youngsters by taking the time to do these vids. Thanks!

hi nice shooting ive just bought a renagade 70lbs @ 30" compound bow and i am struggling with the beast far too strong for me .my other bow is a 54lbs longbow,and thats fine,is it true there is a maximum draw weight of 60lbs in competitions,if so i will have to find a way of bringing it down a bit,cheers

[erikaanear]

@motanelu20 oh i can't shoot 70lb. it was just SPTs. you put thera bands on the recurve to bump the weight for training. you really do need to get out more. Ivana is the Croatian national champion and she shoots 60lb. Jamie is one of the best USA women compounders and she shoots 60lb. The Danish women's champion shoots 60lb. The UK women's champion shoots more than 50lb.

@erikaanear If you can shoot 64 Lbs in a compound and 70 in a recurve then good for you, especially that you have such tight forms... I would imagine a "Small" Amazon to be able to do such a deed....but hey.... maybe I am just outdated :)
