@?Why so angry kid? Get picked on in school?

@BillyBob jajajaja i think so

You should try darts then. Same discipline, but you get to drink beer

@@Skeletomania And have that announcer yell your score on the professional circuit! 👍

Rio was the best of them all, shot many rounds, lots of perfect scored.

These archers are shooting hundreds of arrows per day for practice. The qualifier itself is a 600, so shooting a couple dozen arrows is not an issue.

Champions like that shoot enough that's its really no big deal.

It does not fatigue as much as you think.

I agree 100 percent I thought it was strange they had to talk during the shoot

That's true however i feel watching two people shoot is as boring as watching paint dry, i enjoy getting little facts about the archers their gear etc... makes it a watchable video not an hour and a half of silent shooting, people also don't realise watching videos from World Archery for example that the time spent collecting arrows is cut out and to have some funny commentary is very refreshing especially if you were there in person.

part of the reason they do it is to fill the dead air ( like radio you don't want silence for to long people lose interest ) while they score the shots and recover the arrows

i think the interviews show how professional these guys are and how they are able to compete

Please have PJ Riley do the announcing next time. Great matches but the announcing was painful.

Shooting for a month, it's awesome. Gonna make bow hunting license next year or so, not that cheap in germany.

@@horstotto6159 what type of animals do y’all hunt out there?

@@sitka8461 it's mostly deer, wild chicken and wild boar, don't know the exact races. Unfortunately we are not allowed to bowhunt in germany, so we have to travel to hungary or france.

Horst Otto You can’t even bow hunt in Germany? I wasn’t aware of that. That’s terrible...... why not?

Just got into it this last month. Super fun but God damn does it get expensive fast. I started with recurve which is a ton of fun and so far settled on compound. Both can be expensive but compound is much more. I enjoy doing both though.

You can still shoot great groups with a hunting bow

what a great choice of sport to pick

i was thinking the same

They're putting on a show, and those interviews sell the sponsors that are paying them to be there's products.

I was looking for this comment. So awkward even with other vids similar to this.

yea, there’s a practice range

if right means everybody in the video is tweeking. Then yeah it does.

Guns, Dip & Life I am not sure, but maybe because his arrow was better in position.

One of the arrows was a provisional 11. Meaning the judges have to go down and verify if the arrow actually broke the integrity of the inner scoring ring or not. They call the initial score but the judges have the final say.

I was a serious competitor way back in the late 60s as a kid, (PAA) and a hunter in the 70s. Got my left arm crushed in an oilfield accident in the late 70s..but I hung onto my bows and 10 yrs later..started shooting again. The stroke after heart surgery in 2009 did me in for a year..and Ive been plunking arrows downrange ever since. Now Im teaching the grand kids archery. Bows can be had from free to $50..a hundred bucks will put you back out in the field again. Never say you are done..ever.

@@GunnerAsch1 very inspiring, thank you for this, and I hope your grandkids teach their kids one day. Archery is an amazing sport/hobby

It says 20 yards at some point

probably 18 meters

Think of darts, you get 25 points inside the bigger circle and 50 points in the smaller circle. Here its 10/11 points instead of 25/50. As you can see most of these guys can hit 10s all day, they need that inner 11 otherwise it'd be ties almost every time.

No one knows

Probably around 50-60 on draw weight, and glue in points can be 50-150 grains.

18 meters

Hahahaha....awesome.

Well how much do you want to spend?

If you want to spend kinda cheap and can last a while go to Walmart get a bear charge that’s a 300 dollar bow that can last a while

20 yards

Most of these guys will be running between 60-70 lbs.

Right crazy. Looks like his draw length is way long

20 yards

@@grayisdabest why not further? I knows there’s different events but 20 seems short even as just a hobby shooter.

@@barryboner1332 not sure ,20-30 is competition range I believe....

2 chirps is "get ready", 1 chirp is "shoot", 3 chirps is "stop shooting"

using theyre voices

@@jobagoat would be slightly irritating if my coach had to yell at me from 5 metres away

sam head i mean its not that far, and its not that loud inside there, so they dont have to shout

it's really just reminding the archer what to hold, cause when u see the yellow from that scope, you'll forget everything abt ur form (usually) frl frl

@Mark Eubank where did you shoot your hogs in Texas?

@@subcomandantemarcos3666 east Texas, around Lake Fork, I live in this area, I am only 10 minutes away from my feeder, I only kill wild hogs and coyote, no deer or bobcats

Did you tune it?

Hes always been awkward too, for years hes been doing this but still very awkward and unsure of what to say. He should speak at the start of each tournament and then let someone else take over.

whoopdeedoo his tournament tho 🤷‍♂️

the range should vary

Yep?

The rods sticking out the bow are stabilisers, they slow down the sway of the sight while aiming by the use of weights the archer customises to their own preference. It works on the same principle of a tightrope walkers pole, moving the weight away from the bow which balances and slows the movement of the bow when the string is released.

Most likely 50

USA and World Archery have a 60lb limit. So they're probably all right under it

Thank you

@@immichaelyeh Thats at the start of the draw. They are holding back..probably 25-30lbs at full draw.

@@GunnerAsch1 Yea I know. Actually, most of their bows are around 70% let off, so they're all probably holding less than 20lbs

So the deal, however, is that in other more traditional tournament formats, the lower ranked archer would never get a shot at the title. Yes, he has to beat multiple people to get to the top guy, and the top guy only has to shoot against him. But in other formats, the low guy would be stuck finishing 5th or 6th or whatever, and the top match would simply be 1 vs 2. We give every one of the top 8 archers the chance to win it all....the lower ranked archers just have to shoot a lot to get there.

@@LancasterArcherySupply this is a much better format then single elimination... I'm a PBA bowler and have been for 10y. At Opens (IE the US open etc etc) thr bracketing system and 6 game blocks of match play make it nearly impossible for anyone outside the top 6 or so top qualifiers are going to win 99% of the time. The format has been changed as of a few years back and its better now. Just a few years back the top 64 to 32 cut in 10 game match play blocks would cut almost all the lower end Pros out and the creame showed at thr 32 to 16 block... the same guys would fill that 16 block 9 out of 10 events. I was a consistent top 32 and made a great living and loved touring and a few top 16s and a few top 8s yearly. I still made well in to thr 6 figs in earnings and sponsors pretty much matched earnings so the money was there for Elite series pros that made the top 32 consistently. My point in it is the top 4 qualified had pretty much half the blocks to bowl as the rest. Those blocks was a elimination every block. Its 10 game blocks at most events back then (this changed a lot in 2018 the format was changed) and the top 8 qualifiers would bowl around 40 games during the event and the rest around a 100 games on average so just think about that. The tour average leaders would consistently being 238 to 242 and they just owned the tour... I my self carried a career average of 229 on thr Elite series tour. The format was designed to keep the best at the top and make it almost 100% that a mixture of the top 10 in thr world would fill the TV slots every week. Because they didn't have to bowl but one set of the serious blocks meaning one block in the top 32 when everyone else bowled 4. The top 4 of course bowled the bottom 4 of the top 64 then top 32. It was a traditional format that made it easier for the top to stay at the top and impossible for the bottom to climb to the top. Like I said I was a consistent top 32, out of the full tour I would have 2 or 3 top 8s just missing TV by one block (I have made the TV 4 times over my time in the PBA 2 as a wildcard and two as a being 2 and a 3rd place qualifier and finished 2nd and 4th in those events and finishing 5th both times I came in as a wildcard.) So it was a good living for my self and I enjoyed it and made a lot of money enough to retire at 34 and enjoy life with my wife and 3 kids and I still bowl majors but tired of the tour and all thr travel. It worked for me and the format kept me in thr money 95% of the time... the problem is for the tour guys that are consistently in the top 64 cut and make some top 32s... they make some sponsor money but when all is said and done they are breaking even or slightly in the red over a session... they never had a chance to win unless the simply walked in to an event and shot lights out the first two days sitting in the top 4 but that rarely happens as when you shoot lights out with the level of talent that is there the chance of your lights out being better then the the other 10 that shot lights out is rare. There has been events I averaged 260s over thr first day and be sitting 7th or so... The equipment is so good now days and the level of talent is mind numbing that even on the hardest oil patterns like the US opens 40 board flat pattern (thr same amount of oil across the whole lane 45 feet long to a dead dry back end with no buffer thats as hard as it gets) that will humble even the best bowlers... local pros that avg 240s in leagues come in and shot 160s and struggle to do that... the elites walk in and we shoot 250s all day long on it and don't start fighting with it until the lanes start to break down over the games it will start to get tougher as during a block after 5 to 6 games and everyone playing the same line or close to it its ate up after 4 to 5 games and by game 9 or 10 its fucked... but we will still avg high 240s low 250s over a block and 240s over the event. This is a great format that let's even the bottom of the barrel have a chance.

Until you realise they are trying to hit a 2 cm circle soooo

Interesting point actually. They so rarely hit outside of 10 you'd think they would extend the range or decrease the target size.

It's harder than you think, these guys are professionals, it's there job to be good

I don't think it's not hard. I think it's easier than barebow, so they should use smaller targets.

Chaos Reigns but theyre not competing against barebow?

@@jobagoat sure, but why not use a smaller target with such an easier bow? How much of that target is pointless?

Agreed its not nearly as exciting, they need smaller targets or more distance. They are using scopes at 20 yards.

That's not necessarily the case. The guy who won this year, was the top qualifier two years ago and he lost to the No.4 seed. The archer who is warmed up often has an advantage over the fresh archer. Two years ago, we had the 8th place qualifier win 7 matches to win the title.

Chance has made vegas shootdown for 18 years. Call that rusty?
