"We have a contest ...

"We have a contest going on compoundbow shooter's vs. traditionalbow shooter's are you interested in getting involved,"..?

I started shooting ...

I started shooting one year ago, when I was 18, I never expected to be now one of the bests of my country, which obviously doesn't have enought archers, but the point is that never is too late to start and dream

moreover we have 2 ...

moreover we have 2 more years, due to that the most important qualification event is in the 2011 archery outdoor world championship, and for that time is very possible to be prepared to qualify.

That would be ...

That would be amazing for both of us to go! =] Yes, very true.. If we both keep training hard, we can make it!

thats an excellent ...

thats an excellent dream, me too want to go to london, is not impossible, i just have to train as hard as now, will be great to be both there..

mattews bow monster ...

mattews bow monster!!!!!!!!!!!

SOMEONE TALK TO ME ...

SOMEONE TALK TO ME im on cam and bored cA

Ohhh haha that's ...

Ohhh haha that's great though! I know you'll be great at it, if your not already =]] <3

That's good to hear ...

That's good to hear. I've been shooting for about close to 8 years now, but I'm a late bloomer and didn't start shooting until I was 19.

yeah that was ...

yeah that was pretty funny, there was this video of them training and they had korean drill instructors yelling and screaming in their ears trying to get them to screw up..... but they didnt.

I hope to be going ...

I hope to be going to the next olympics for archery! I've been shooting for 5 years now and have won so many 1st places and medals. I'm only 18, but I was told I could be going to the next olympics. =] Yay!

Good luck.

Good luck.

Yes. It varies from ...

Yes. It varies from place to place. That is why I'm saying that the majority of the people in China has a low level of common sense and manners.

what the hell do ...

what the hell do you mean by that?! customs are not a international thing. they vary from place to place. dont look done upon them for something so irrelevent. they make all of your stuff

i wanna start ...

i wanna start shooting at 90 mts!! lol...

im korean and i ...

im korean and i loled at that wen china tried to distract the koreans they say its harder to get into korea archer team then it is to win a gold medal they take u to a haunted theme park and force u to shoot with all the distractions, so the chinese "sounds" hardly phased them lol

hell yeah i agree

hell yeah i agree

China needs to ...

China needs to learn some spectator manners. Archery as well as Tennis is a sport that requires tremendous amount of focus and concentration. Whistle blowing and noise making never happens in any other country, except China. Really shows the level of the people there.

falun dafa is good

falun dafa is good

gold medal doesnt ...

gold medal doesnt lie

the Chinese showed ...

the Chinese showed terrible manner and sportsmanship by blowing whistles and coughing whenever it was the Korea's turn to shoot. China does not even have the manners to play fair, I laugh at your claim that the Chinese archer beat the Korean archer.

i agree

i agree

no joke. Its no ...

no joke. Its no mystery that traditional shooting is tougher than compound archery, but, traditional shooters dont shoot the scores that compound arhers shoot. So saying that it takes ALL the work out of it, is pretty ignorant. saying that shooting the same scores with your recurve as i do with my compound, then i would agree that youre the better archer.

another importan ...

another importan difference is that the sight with the level cannot be used in recurve bow. and the physical power you use in the recurve is almost not existent in the compound

its about time ...

its about time archery got some promotion as well! shame about the GB womens team today, but they did well. Look out for the womens paralympic team next month, they will be kicking some serious arse!
