You know what..it's not always 10,10, 10. No matter what type of archery you shoot in whether it be longbow, recurve or compound there are always the odd few archers that never seem to miss the centre as they are experts in their field. Compound archery isn't as foolproof as people think..it's just the odd few masters of the bow that make it seem so. The thing about watching world cup matches on RUclips is that these are video clips of the world's best archers so you only see the best..
@NifoOtiBoy FFFFFFFF-, could be many reasons, bad arows for one, the fletches could be glued on the wrong way making them hit your rest. Are you making sure the arrows are knocked the right way so the fletches arent coming into direct contact with the bow when you release? If one of the fletches is pointing directly at the bow then its going to veer off.
@TheGameTree Hey if you can answer this question you will have me eternal gratitude. My arrow vanes keep hitting the rest on my bow making their flight look like #$%&... WHY??? 45lb recurve bow @28", 32" draw length, 33" arrows, 100 grain tips, finger release, arrows spined about .362 and 10 grains per inch with vanes. I'm guessing my arrows are too stiff or not stiff enough but which one is it?
@TheGameTree No I didn't "just buy them" I tried to follow the manufacturer's arrow selection charts as well as I could.... but something went wrong apparently.
@iceblue1963 when you're shooting paper targets like this fat arrows are the way to go! All the arrow has to do is touch the line. So the fatter the arrow, the less chance of a miss. I used to shoot Easton Eclipse arrows in size 2613. They were about 5/8ths of an inch in diameter.
@EmberClad hey you said you are looking into a new bow? How much draw weight are you thinking about getting? I am a archery tech at a local sporting goods store, let me know and I would be able to give you some good bows to look into
@sixtyllama131O When i bought my tournament bow with sight, stabilizers and rest in 2001 i spent close to $1700. Probably another 300 on smaller accessories like arrows, release and other things.
I was bored so i decided to look up some competition vids as ive been picked up as a Hoyt shop shooter, and jesus christ alot of bitching comming from the comment section. allow me to dispell some rumors as an employee at an archery shop and competition shooter: It is not hard to get good at archery, plain and simple its not. It is VERY hard to get as good as these guys. Bows with scopes are put in a different category as FITA bows and are expected to do better with the releases and sights
@DarkGallahad if you are so into traditional methods you would be writing letters to a newspaper via pen and paper instead of using such modern communication methods such as RUclips to voice your concerns. I'll bet you don't watch an old black and white TV... what do you have a HD flatscreen LCD TV ?? .. compound archery is like anything in this world today...an advancement on the original item. If you don 't like one don't shoot one.
@iceblue1963 Ummm these guys are money shootes all around the world..... I've shot with Jesse Broadwater since he was 11... he was amazing back then and f-ing incredible now. Do you have any idea how much work it takes to do this at that level? He is a MULTIPLE National and International championship winner... I've only lead the Nationals for a day... He's won multiples. He was the first person in NFAA history to shoot an Outdoor perfect score ... at age 13. He's the best...
Notice the fat arrows-the guy on the left would have dropped no 2 if he had carbons. i bet they are money shooters back home. still damn good shooting..

@TheJohndeere1998 You cant yank the trigger with a back tension release. If you have bad form with a back tension or hinge type release you tend to punch yourself in the mouth.
Cheater's idea like Holding string with mechanical trigger (so called release aid ) is so funny . Will the next cheat be built-in release aid in cyborg hand ? hahaha . If you people keep cheating we will have lesser and lesser archery player , because people doesnt like cheaters . If i need a trigger , simple , i will use crossbow or guns .
What an inane statement. You could use the same argument to justify the use of laser guided rifles on an archery range. This isn’t letter writing or driving a car. Archery is by nature a sport that uses more primitive style methods and equipment. That is it's challenge. It is diminished by those who seek to take short cuts to shooting good scores using mechanical aids to loosing and drawing as well as scope sights. If it can be called archery, it is archery for wimps.
I always think this kind of stuff is cheating. I mean it takes them like 10 minutes to fire an arrow and there's no real skill- no instinct built up by practice. Everything uses sights and points nowadays which is sad and less impressive. :( Robin Hood didn't need these things...
Yes, but I was just trying to point out how far weaponry sports have come. It's the same with things like fencing. It's all about how many points you can get. I've tried archery using scopes, but find more satisfaction with barebow. Besides, things like horseback archery and native peoples using their weapons with such accuracy never ceases to amaze.
Wipsnipidy well I get what you are trying to say. If we are talking about weaponry here, u do know and realize that we are in 21st century, be dont have cellphone before, but now its a must have. eventually, Of course we would develop everything in time. I dont think its cheating if they are still trying to shoot with this gadgets. And also they dont wait 10 minutes to shoot, more likely 10 seconds..
Crazy to go back on these videos

@DarkGallahad It doesnt mean its not a challenge..and you dont have to use a release or sights..you can shoot a compound instinctively with fingers
Awesome shooting from both archers.
Wanna see how my Vantage works at the german championships in march
awesome video i love archery
Wonderful sport, I love archery.
@NifoOtiBoy The only other thing I can thing of is perhaps your not releasing properly, causing the arrow to move to one side, when its releasing.
@NifoOtiBoy Did you get your arrows properly spined to fit your bow? Or did you just buy them, figuring arrows are arrows?
@Exige098 its in the name mate the longbow is longer range than the shorter one
@NifoOtiBoy FFFFFFFF-, could be many reasons, bad arows for one, the fletches could be glued on the wrong way making them hit your rest. Are you making sure the arrows are knocked the right way so the fletches arent coming into direct contact with the bow when you release?

Are sightless barebows allowed in these tournaments? Just wondering.
@sompret
Don't think so
But you can always not use the sights on a sighted bow...

I shot traditional because it's more fun, but you have to admit it's frightening how accurate those compound guys can be
@TheGameTree

What's that really long extension on the front of the bow? Is it a stabilizer?
Yes. It’s a stabilizer.
@EmberClad hey you said you are looking into a new bow? How much draw weight are you thinking about getting? I am a archery tech at a local sporting goods store, let me know and I would be able to give you some good bows to look into
Do you still work there?
It's not exclusive to EU, other nations may participate.
@dwizzy115 I would love to know that answer. Anyone know the distance?
Care to explain why you think they shouldn't be?
Brandon had his most success with the Conquest models before he was forced to change.
It's fun and satisfying for the shooter believe me
@sixtyllama131O
When i bought my tournament bow with sight, stabilizers and rest in 2001 i spent close to $1700. Probably another 300 on smaller accessories like arrows, release and other things.
GO MATTHEWS TEAM!!! Sorry, I've got the Matthews heli- m and it's the best bow I've ever shot! Out of PSE and Hoyt
@TheGameTree
Its a lot worse than just fletching hitting the riser.... the whole back 1/5th of the arrow is scraping against the riser pretty hard.
what i don't get is.. if everyone is always this accurate why don't they just make it harder so we can really see who is better?
How would you make it harder? Smaller target?
well the ten used to be twice the size (like for recurve )
should be a longbow tournament out in a feild
@MrSchpankme nobody said it wasn't
I was bored so i decided to look up some competition vids as ive been picked up as a Hoyt shop shooter, and jesus christ alot of bitching comming from the comment section.
allow me to dispell some rumors as an employee at an archery shop and competition shooter:
It is not hard to get good at archery, plain and simple its not. It is VERY hard to get as good as these guys.
Bows with scopes are put in a different category as FITA bows and are expected to do better with the releases and sights
i still prefer recurve, its a bit od both, technelogie and traditionell

they are but they compete against the guys with the sights
Compound Machine; it's far removed from a traditional bow.
yep stabilizer.
@iceblue1963 Ummm these guys are money shootes all around the world..... I've shot with Jesse Broadwater since he was 11... he was amazing back then and f-ing incredible now.

@soccom8341576
Well, that just blows. I might as well fly to traditional archery festivals, in that case.
its 18 meters
bei dem video,gibt es einen,der nicht sauber löst,daher schlagen die pfeile mit dem heck aus,wie der sich nur qualifiziert hat...
Notice the fat arrows-the guy on the left would have dropped no 2 if he had carbons.
i bet they are money shooters back home.
still damn good shooting..
competition these days has mostly become more about equipment than skills. I'd like to see these two hit 10 10 10 with equipment from 20 years ago
@stickman1957 : archery is game , internet is not game .
Who likes easy game ?
@thepain006 because his french
@DarkGallahad @DarkGallahad if you are so into traditional methods you would be writing letters to a newspaper via pen and paper instead of using such modern communication methods such as RUclips to voice your concerns.

I dare Hawkeye to do this
Legolas would own all their asses
thats not even fun anymore, its always 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10.....
Look at these kids...they just might have a future in archery
Go Team Hoyt :)
@TheJohndeere1998
You cant yank the trigger with a back tension release. If you have bad form with a back tension or hinge type release you tend to punch yourself in the mouth.
O.O
Give these guys Longbows, see how they go...
This is a European championship........ somebody care to explain why the yanks are competing in this?
compound and horsebow and recurve are awsome longbow is stupid clumby and gay
Cheater's idea like Holding string with mechanical trigger (so called release aid ) is so funny .
Will the next cheat be built-in release aid in cyborg hand ? hahaha .

Have you ever tried to shoot like that the ten ring is the size of a dime
