So I picked up archery a few months ago... I'm in love. I'm already on the competitive team, and watching the Olympic archers helps so much! They have so much inspiration for the young archers!

[@AliAlyon]

How old are you, can I ask? I want to try it too

[@genevievemcpartlin4408]

i am 16

[@AliAlyon]

Genevieve McPartlin​ thanks) i am 20, but I guess, it's never late to start

[@genevievemcpartlin4408]

nope its not. Just be prepared to be sore all over for a while. My shoulders and back still hurt if i shoot too much

[@ritud2288]

I've been an archer for 4 years now, and after a while, you don't get sore anymore, because you build strength. By the way, what bow type do you shoot? I'm a recurve archer

[@JinNOSify]

This is why I started picking up Archery at my university. So much goes on when loading an arrow, and the mentality behind is the most crucial component.

[@kalleklp7291]

I'm not saying shooting a rifle or pistol is easy, cause it ain't. However, shooting a bow requires a very complex technique, so 10 hours of training every day is understandable. Respect for the great dedication every top sportsman/woman has to have for their sport.

[@dlc1119]

This is the elite level. 10 hours a day for Olympics. You can shoot well with much less.

[@aarontewelde3577]

10 hours a day??!! Respect

[@kymnewman3518]

makes so much comprehensible sense

[@dlc1119]

Love it at 2:10 + - watching hat arrow go through paradox.
Good video overall

[@mudkip_btw]

Recurve bows are center-shot, so the archer's paradox is eliminated (it would give inconsistency)

[@KaiMattern]

True... there is a good read on this on wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer%27s_paradox

[@jerryhalstead7106]

Randy please explain further ... is the recurve notched out for the arrow?

[@alanrudolph8880]

This does not eliminate paradox. You load the arrow from the back and the fingers, even with a very good release, pushed the back of the arrow to the left. You can see paradox on photos, especially in slow-mo. Check the Werner Beiter videos.

Yes it is a thing. ;-)

[@cel101278]

Let’s see them do it without the fancy balancing equipment.

[@user-xf2rm7pp4z]

Have you ever shot a bow with a stabilizer?

[@aqilhakimiismail3735]

Its called barebow for that
