@@JSmithskiThere's no need for 70# when shooting targets indoors. Wears you out faster when shooting a bunch of arrows. Most people aren't strong enough for a 70# draw weight bare bow and be able to have that kind of accuracy. 70# would be more for distance outside shooting or something correct?
I was Pin Sight Bowhunter Fingers Missouri State Indoor Champion way back in 1980. Shot leagues together with Earl and Ann Hoyt..... Earl always wanted to teach me Bare Bow..... But I never took him up on it...... Sorry I didn't...... Watching these Barebow Finals sure is exciting..... I'm 74 years old now and still shoot down in my basement to keep my form up for hunting season.
As an olympic recurve archer I found this absolutely gripping, fantastic to see the commitment of a wee lassie just 16 years old and not the slightest bit phased by the event. All the very best for the future, from Scotland.
This was such a fun match, it's really cool to see someone so young shooting so well and enjoying the sport. This is was super cool. Great job Erin! She has a delightful smile to her and looks like she is having so much fun. It's great to see so many people enjoy this wonderful sport.
Great shooting from both Ladies, watching this from Canada. Since this about 70% mental and 30% physical involved, how they interrupt with interviewing the archers during competition on the line, cant they wait till it's over..
Erin is the reason I am getting into barebow. I am a man in his 60’s, recently bought a Gillo GYL kit. My first ILF. I have a PSE recurve 62”. And I used to bow hunt with a compound 20 yrs ago. Just getting back into archery. 😊 Hope to see Erin in the 2025 women’s Barebow comp.
In her defense, archery is one of those sports that, unless you're really into it, is as exciting as watching paint dry. Sometimes a bit of banter lightens the mood
Dude, Fawn is one of the funniest and nicest Barebow archers I've ever seen, her and Erin compete against each other alot, so they probably joke around alot, SO SHUV IT UP YOUR BUTT
Somewhat I feel pity for Jill Butler. I really like her style. It looks so cool. Too bad that she didn't have much luck this time. And Erin Heyob was awesome, such a young talent. Can't wait to see how far she can go.
I want to see a true bare bow class with a literal bare bow, meaning no weight, no limb savers, no rest other than the shelf of the bow. So leather or fur is allowed but no wire rests or plungers. No rules on removable limbs or what the bow is made of just that the bow literally can only be a bow, limbs, and a string. I think you would get a good mix of wood and metal bows, removable limbs, fixed limbs, and probably even more exciting action. It also gets the cost of entry even lower and would allow someone to compete with just hundreds of dollars vs. thousands.
every archery competition is horribly shot (video) and directed. We should always be seeing over the shoulder shots so we can see the arrow fly through the air. Here's the standard order. Single shot of archer in profile, cut to over the shoulder right before you think they will release the arrow, cut to close up of target after it strikes. Cut to reaction shots. Repeat. Once in awhile have a wide angle profile shot so we see the flight of the arrow from left to right. Usually show this as replay maybe once in awhile live.
So awesome! Just a wild card question, cause it seems to me physical advantage is negligble between the men and women on this, would be really interested to see a 3rd category men vs women?
The human nervous system is astounding. The difficulty should be in the maintaining the intense nervous concentration throughout a competition and personal confidence so as not to try and think out the shot . Your nervous system has been conditioned by intelligent practice or not. As we gain understanding about maintaining consistent control shot after shot in practice we should be able to see bare bow shooters compete with shooters using all the bells and whistles - and win -. Grass roots archery folks.
Erin shoots against Fawn every week and gets a kick out of Fawns personality obviously !!! That also makes it easier to face someone in a competitive situation !!! Congrats Erin for a great final !!! I think Fawn was thrilled for your performances too !!!
Not how I saw it at all, I saw it that Fawn couldn't stand that she was getting beat by her and did her utmost to put her off. But we all see things differently hey.
As a Jeweler, my guess is that Erin's black streak is caused by a reaction with her makeup. I've seen it before. Not sure what metal is on the tab, but if it's brass or aluminum it could react. s Sometimes even with gold jewelry it happens. I'd be curious to see if stainless steel would do it, but then again maybe she'll start a trend in archery and people will show up with a black streak on purpose!😁
Greg & Matt doing great job. Rob very unprofessional not sure his credentials needs to be announcing in the WWE. Great matches. These women are awesome
I would say, accuracy is more difficult with the asymmetrical kyudo bow, the yumi (no shelf, no visual aids, no balancing adjustments on the bow, and more difficile bow-hand control during release - bow rotation in the hand - due to the nature of- and technique of shooting with yumi) while style and the anatomical-/postural difference and stance is just that, simply different - in other words, it would depend on what you specifically mean with ‘harder’ - strength required; or learning the form (certainly much more complex with the yumi.. at least the proper ceremonial forms); or accuracy; or consistency;… …
Oh man I had to laugh when Jill stepped up. Anyone always dressed in fancy sports clothes and she is just a old gran who just thought after tea-time with her friends on her way home; "oh that looks like a nice event to visit" and just walked in there and tried her luck lmao but respect to her, cool thing she is competing
Barebow is ARCHERY, all the rest of the bow competitions are nonsense and a waste of time. The archers at Agincourt and the Janissaries at Constantinople didn't need all the extra crap to shoot and win, just good archery.
If you think that then your perception of people is quite off...definitely in this case anyway. Fawn couldn't stand that she was getting beat...hence why she shot her 10 towards the end really quickly as she was 5 points down with 2 arrows left. And then turned round with an attitude to complain that they didn't call it quick enough. She was 100% fake happy for Erin at the end
I am so glad Erin won that final, great nerves for her age. Fawn I found to be very unlikeable indeed. She couldn't stand that she was getting beat and I can guess if there were no cameras and big crowds to witness, her shenanigans would have been even more unfair towards her opponent. Can you imagine if Erin did what she did? I could bet you a million dollars she wouldn't have laughed it off like Erin did. She shot the 10 towards the end really quickly ( As she had a good feeling she was going to lose at this point) and then turned around with an attitude and said "what the frick" because they didn't call her 10 fast enough for her. No humility and I am stoked she lost😁
Why do women and men have separate titles??? It's not a contact sport or a game of strength/endurance, it's purely down to skill and ability. Just like snooker, darts, shooting yadda yadda. Who's at fault here? The guys don't want to be seen getting their asses kicked? The promoters milking two tournaments instead of one combined? Or the women, wanting their own league? Seems odd in this day and age, it could be a truly non sexist sport.
Snooker and darts the men are comprehensively better...if it was mixed then there would be zero professional female players and in darts there would be 2 total women maximum in the game...I know those sports well. Can't comment for Archery though, it may well be more even.
@@SteveNinetyski Hiya Tom. Possibly? The men dominate but there are far more male professionals putting the long hours in. Get more women into these sports, put the same hours in and let's see what happens? Or just give the girls the option?
@@FeckArseIndustries I guess giving females the option wouldn't make it fair either as the better females wouldn't have the incentive to compete against a more competitive field. A fair few sports now allow women to compete with the men if they're good enough...darts, snooker and golf are three that I know...but zero women make the cut in snooker and likely hardly any ever will. A couple make it in darts and historically a couple if golfers have tried but with very little success. You are saying it would make it more equal...but let's for arguement sake say there are 500 professional males, and 200 professional females in their own separate class.. Put those 700 together and take the best 500 to make one class. (No pro sport has unlimited numbers) Let's say a fair estimate would be that perhaps 20 of those women (10%) make the cut bumping 20 of the men out. That leaves 180 women out of a sport they were once a professional at. Is that equality? We can't have everything.

This is the best show in archery.
My favorite too.
Would be if they shot real poundage not those silly 35-45#
@@JSmithski Every one of these women can outshoot you. Indoors or out.
@@InFerrumVeritas stupid comment. At the same time none of them can draw a 70# bow. Depends what you’re after.

I was yelling and cheering so much watching this my roommate came to check on me. Amazing show.
Congratulations Erin! It was so much fun to get to watch this.
I keep watching this over and over!

The NERVE of that young person! It's so amazing!
This is a lot better and entertaining than I thought it would be.
Superb shooting for all competitors. Erin earned it.
Fawn Girad is cheating in my eyes. She should learn to keep her mouth shut when the other archer is at full draw.
Could not agree more, very unprofessional
Is there a rule regarding this? She has a big personality for sure. I like her and I bet she is bringing young people into the sport.
In her defense, archery is one of those sports that, unless you're really into it, is as exciting as watching paint dry. Sometimes a bit of banter lightens the mood
@@enrique6335 should that mean turn it into a sike out game to distract while in full draw? I think there should be a "keep your mouth shut rule"

That Erin girls smile when she won was so cute . Great sportsmanship to all who competed. Such a great pool of talented ladies . 🏹

This us the awesome performance in varebow women archery. I love it. What a great girl archer aaron is!
Barebow!!!!
The little interviews are
So awkward I love them
congratulations Erin ! nice shooting !
Congrats to Erin and all the ladies! FG should be so proud to have a protege take it all!

Maybe your thinking of Trad or Longbow.....
Lighted Nocks would enhance the competition event for the audience...
Great shoots, ladies. Congrats!
This was great to watch.
Way to go Erin. What a good showing.
The competitors out did themselves this year. Excellent finals with all the sporting drama you can ask for.
Thanks to Rob for bringing John Wert back - it wouldn't be the same without him!
This is so much more fun to watch than Recurve and I have no idea why..... I must try this.

GREAT job kiddo! AWESOME shooting. VERY classy event. Great job ladies.
@HEYOB
I can only assume there is sterling silver in the finger guard. Only possibility from what I understand
So awesome! Just a wild card question, cause it seems to me physical advantage is negligble between the men and women on this, would be really interested to see a 3rd category men vs women?
It used to be a mixed class

I'd like to know what the target backboard is made of.
that kids pretty darn amazing... keep your eye out shes going places
i love the barebow division.

WoW! only one word for that - BAREBOW!
Bravo ladies
That Fawn lady comes off as a bit rude, don't like her energy at all. Ego and attitude never mix.
I completely agree
That was awesome!!!!!!!!!
She just wanted to have fun and shoot to the best of her ability. It just happened that the best of her ability is scary good. lol.
My fletchings are the same colors as Erin H's.
I make her arrows. it is the color purple she wanted
incredible talent
Go Erin you ROCK!!!!!
Awesome!
Great match
Traditional bow competition could be even more popular.
I wonder which distance are they shooting ?
18 metres or 20 yards.
$3000 That's it for first place. It sad. Somebody pocketing.
What is the target in a Lancaster classic is it 40cm or 60 cm
40cm
I believe she was her teacher and that’s how she trained her so…. but I certainly understand one should be quiet when you up to bed so speak…!
these ladies shoot better with a barebow than me with my compound with mechanical release, 5 pin sight, $18 dollar arrows
Is this in Lancaster PA??
Yup!!
Oh well that Fawn gal one my heart anyhow.
The young girl shot really well despite poor form and alignment. With a bit of work she'll be an amazing archer
Erin is collapsing in every shot- interesting style
At what distance are they shooting from?!
18m
As a Jeweler, my guess is that Erin's black streak is caused by a reaction with her makeup. I've seen it before. Not sure what metal is on the tab, but if it's brass or aluminum it could react. s

Erin is the shiz!!!! Rooting for her!!!!
30 м? Или 18м?

18 Meters !
Is this harder or Japanese bamboo bows?
I would say, accuracy is more difficult with the asymmetrical kyudo bow, the yumi (no shelf, no visual aids, no balancing adjustments on the bow, and more difficile bow-hand control during release - bow rotation in the hand - due to the nature of- and technique of shooting with yumi) while style and the anatomical-/postural difference and stance is just that, simply different - in other words, it would depend on what you specifically mean with ‘harder’ - strength required; or learning the form (certainly much more complex with the yumi.. at least the proper ceremonial forms); or accuracy; or consistency;… …
How friggen exciting
Why does Erin back off on her draw????
That mic.......... shut up guy!
Oh man I had to laugh when Jill stepped up.

This is really cute
I like a bit of commentary but these guys just talk a little too much. Imho
BAREBOW
Why the comentator like deal with one of the archer. Its seems like he was not fair cause of young lady
I'm on Granny's side
Man that over modulated mic hurts the ol ears

Traditional thumb draw and English longbows are exactly what you are talking about. But only if people shoot real poundage, 70# and up.
I must say, the commentators need to learn less talk is better.
Commentator is still on her age.
Lancaster is sooo unfair.. the prize money for the kids is soo low compared to the adults..
Fawn would've won the same amount; the prizes for category aren't age dependent. As usual, the highest levels (Pro) is where the big payoffs are.
Fawn totally let her win lol
No she didn't. When you're competing like this you don't LET someone else win.
If you think that then your perception of people is quite off...definitely in this case anyway.
