Archery-Olympics 2004 athens
i am a 13 year old ...
i am a 13 year old boy, been doing archery for 3 months and i find the sport great but like recurves more than compunds even tho compound is easyer in some waus but harder in others, the fact that people say its better all round is silly since even when you use sights, draw puller, stabaliser ect its still a pretty hard sport and these guys spent years training to get that good with any bow
Why do these " ...
Why do these "compound vs. recurve" and "traditional archery vs. modern archery" comments ALWAYS show up in archery videos? Can't you people just watch the damn thing and keep your negative opinions to yourselves?! They're DIFFERENT CATEGORIES damnit!!!! It's like comparing NASCAR to Formula 1 to Indy. They're all racing categories with cars... so why can you respect and understand the difference there and not in archery?! Damn, simple-minded people piss me off so much.
i wish i took ...
i wish i took archery when i was a kid.

@RedArcher1000 Finally some one with half a brain who gets it!
To all of you who ...
To all of you who thinks modern bow takes the skill out of archery, you are wrong and I suggest you go find yourself a club and try it yourself. Also everyone is using the same type of bow. Archery is a sport so its about competing against other people. Its not about what you can do with whatever bow but what you can do compare to other people who are using the same type of equipment.
crazy technology or ...
crazy technology or not, these guys are good. give 'em a recurve bow, and i guarantee they can still out-shoot any of us.
Well would you give ...
Well would you give up your car or bike or house or toilet or TV or internet? Im sick of people like you coming onto my videos and just putting down what takes years of practice to achieve what these guys do! Fuck all you trolls! your all banned from posting on my videos!
There is too much ...
There is too much in the modern Olympics that distracts from the individual...I would only see as much an extension of Man as is necessary. Imagine the ancient diskobolos: he is nude, alone--only the disc is foreign--the rest of his body the only machine, unaided by any device to ease his victory. What we view today is a farce.
traditional had ...
traditional had more skill...True...but i am not sure whether there is TRADITIONAL BOW COMPETITION. This modern recurve bow may take out the skill but if you are in the Olympics....you must master your emotions....(super hard)..ppl who used tradisional bow doesn't need to learn things such as visualization anyway...There's no competition....only recreation or hobby
To be honest... ...
To be honest...competition archery is actually harder than tradisional bow...even if there is sight,damper ,etc...this modern archery is about mental toughness ,handling competitive pressure also...to master the archery form...it take you minimum 5years to master it...and some archers fail to even achieve the biomechanic archery form...also..some got stuck in obstacles such as target panic,etc....Archery look so simple but it is really hard when you try it
archery is not shit ...
archery is not shit....archery contains diffirent category like tradisional bow,modern recurve bow,compound bow and the list goes on.....-_-!if you want to be archery competition...you need to be in compound or recurve... p.s.nowdays...ppl hunt animals mostly used compound bows-_-!
errr....have you ...
errr....have you shoot an arrow b4?just wondering....did you say that you can achieve those skill in 1week?if archery is that easy...there wont be archery in olympics-_-...No skill?PPL who dont learn archery only say that...it look so simple...but as you trying to do it...its hard....Dont say that it doesnt required skill if you had not try out archery b4....To achieve those kind of skill...it took years of hardwork to achieve
look my opinion is ...
look my opinion is this new archry is shit ok. I personaly dont lie it but you and other might.
you stupid ass.... ...
you stupid ass....shooting a modern recurve bow is not skill?I am an archer so i know...if i ask you to take out a fking fancy modern bow to shoot 70m and i give you 1 thousand arrows to shoot...if you can get a bulleyes out of the 1 thousand arrows....YOU MISS ALL......muahahaha...trust me....archery is harder than it looks...dont talk carp if you havent shoot arrows before-_-
if all around the ...
if all around the world is using the same thing....same equipment...there wont be any advantage...
why not try the ...
why not try the Olympic?if you can learn all those skill in 1week...you are consider as superhuman or something..
But the max range ...
But the max range you'll see, even with a veteran hunter, will be about 20-30 feet for the kill.
im not saying ...
im not saying hunters these days dont have these bows.although most have firearms. but in africa they still use primitive bows and shoot from range using poisoned arrows.
It's in the ...
It's in the practice, and more in the bow than the form. The form is easy- stance is easy and you just need to hold your bow in a way so you don't get harmed. It's pretty simple- A sniper rifle with a scope and rifled muzzle will outperform a musket. Of course, similarly, practice makes perfect, to be a good bowman, you need to time your shots and release at just the right moment.
I don't think you ...
I don't think you actually do archery, but a lot of archers who hunt don't go primate and shoot some random longbows. They usually have the stabilizers and sights because they improve performance. Back then, hunters would shoot from ranges nearly point blank, because of the inaccuracy of their weapons as well as inadequate power.
yeah i do know ...
yeah i do know whaty real archery is about. its about skill and mastering a bow. not some thing thats rigged to go in the same place everytime. when they used to hunt with bows and kill birds, thats skill. and they didnt have all that shit hanging off. but look we have our opinions.
screw you dude. you ...
screw you dude. you dont know what real archery is all about. Its all in the form and not as much in the bow.
wtf is tha thats ...
wtf is tha thats not a bow. no skill in that. probably takes a week to learn how to fire.
yah im just telling ...
yah im just telling you that many people dissagree
That would be why i ...
That would be why i put it .
