Working on instintive shooting now thats so much fun lol. Would be nice if all the bows were in the olimpics
@teddybear1111111 ...
@teddybear1111111 wow u must be really good if u can hit that with a long bow~ how long u shoot before u stopped?
why dont they use ...
why dont they use primitive bow if they are good enough joining olympic ? if they shot bullseye from 50 yard away , they are really honored . just use crossbow , if you want mechanical accuracy .
the long one's are ...
the long one's are meant for high stability not just vibration dampening and silencing.
Ive been shooting a ...
Ive been shooting a compound bow for a long time, I use a very small stabilizer in the front (5 inches for vibraiton) and i still think that the long stabilzers are just ridiculous
if you actually ...
if you actually shot one youd think differently. people seem to think that recurves shoot themselves, what bs
Different leagues. ...
Different leagues. It's like comparing compounds to recurve - compound target scoring margins are TINY, so much so that the difference between winning and losing is usually one point or a shootout (what happens after a tie). With all that extra equipment, a massive amount of effort is devoted to specific technique to ensure such consistency. Traditional relies a lot more on intuition and technique, recurve relies a lot more on form, technique and some intuition.
How long does it ...
How long does it take you to walk 70 metres? I can barely hit the broadside of a barn with my sighted compound so I can appreciate the skills of both an olympic archer and an oldschool longbowman!
My sighted compound ...
My sighted compound bow fits into your aim and release category... I can aim and release... and if I'm lucky hit something at up to 40 metres! Olympic competition is world class and the standard range is 70 metres, with these recurves. They get consistent 9's and 10s. There's still the skills of the old school longbowman even with a stabilised and damped recurve!
i do wonder why the ...
i do wonder why the longbow is not in the olimpics as it is 1 of the oldest bows back to neolich era, and takes more skill the main reson i stoped with that bow was its to eazy to hit the targets, feels so much better when u hit it 100m with a longbow as its me and my eye that do it
isn't that obvious ...
isn't that obvious :)
yea thats treu but ...
yea thats treu but at the end i think a traditional one is more difficult then this kind of bow's.
u need skill to ...
u need skill to shoot these kinds of bows as well. i mean, it's like traditional shooting but with the extra accessories to make sure that u can concentrate on the target. that's why it's called target shooting. have u even tried shooting these kinds of bows?
why not just walk ...
why not just walk to the target and stick the arrow in. its much cheaper and its almost the same ash shooting this kind of bows. traditional bows for the win.
feather flecthing ...
feather flecthing ftw
i really dislike ...
i really dislike those bows i mean wheres the skill all you basically do with that bow is aim and release. ii know you alll like those kind meh
ermm, an arrow ...
ermm, an arrow ENTIRELY made of sponge won't really shoot well, but it'll be safe ;)
is it comeing off ...
is it comeing off or ripping the fletching?
Yes you can. You ...
Yes you can. You can get a bow to your side. Your height and weight matter. You can can get this thing i forget how its called it lets to shoot the arrow without drawing back to much
it might be beacuse ...
it might be beacuse you are pulling back with to much foundation on the fletch. Grasp the arrow to.
for a guy that ...
for a guy that speaks English as a second language, i can say that these lessons were a breeze of fresh air.
well, all arrows ...
well, all arrows are lethal. no matter how safe you try to make it. If you try adding a sponge in front, it'll affect the flight. Treat the bows and arrows responsibly and NEVER goof around with them.....well, you shouldn't get anyone hurt.
there should be ...
there should be three fletches. One of the fletches should be pointing out toward you, while the other two point toward the bow at opposite angles. the fletch pointing out toward you should be perpendicular to the bowstring (if you look from the nock of the arrow) Additionally, if your fletches still tear, it probably means you have some clearance issues. try to spot trends i.e. bottom fletch tearing all the time, and you seek out the source of the tearing. most likely it's hitting your bow.
