  • I did this, in fact at age 13 I came in 9th place in the New England amateur shoot, about 400 contestants and no one under the age of 25, most middle aged. I gave it up because of all the white trash in archery, and the scientific bows and stabilizers and sights and bubble levelers...gimmie a fuckin break. The sport has become gadget happy (more money in it that way) and if you can't hit the bullseye with that shit then you REALLY suck. The more gadgets you need the less talent you have, period.

  • this is crap...compounds are just all mechanical junk with scopes and junk to do the shooting forward...traditional takes real skill -_-

see all

  • @shadowmanipulator006 ....I agree completely. I'm a para...and I shoot longbows and horsebows. (traditional/ancient) I don't do ANY "handicap" sports or events....I try to just do normal things with average people. I try to keep the "handicapped" issue to a minimum.

    Now there is one HUGE factor in your question. Standing up gives a HUGE angle advantage over those sitting. Trust me...it's so. Try throwing darts at your local pub sitting...and see if it doesn't have an impact:)

  • i dare you to draw a bow and put 12 arrows in the middle at 90 meters

  • i disagree with you, he is disabled, that being said he's probably just got more talent than the rest of us.

  • the guy shooting with his teeth is jeff fabry. My name is david camacho. been shooting all my life. I hold titles in cal and texas, in many different styles of shooting. I competed against jeff at a local shoot in cal about 3 years ago. he beat the hell out of me that day. Trust me he is not disabled. I have total admiration for jeff and all others with so called disablities

  • 0:39 awesome XD

  • Whats with all the negative remarks on disabled archers and the high tech equipment? Should we go back to catapulting and sprinters going barefoot? Geez..

  • ich verstehs net warum rollstohl bogenschießen nötig ist, kaputte beine hindern einem doch net am bogen schießen

    trotzdem meinen respekt an alle die so gut mit ihrer behinderung umgehen

  • Rambo can kick their ass in archery.
