I'd like to see a more traditional class: wooden bows and wooden arrows. Nothing mechanical, no sights, no stabilizers, etc.

@Jeff Burnham That’s what I was thinking and wanted to see if anyone knew of such a competition. Something similar to this but with wood bows, shooting off the shelf

@@theabhorrentchef7226 all I can think of is the japanese superlong-bow archery. But its super boring and they all dont really shoot that well at shorter distance. But atleast the women are hot and not 80% of them obese. I am a alcoholic anyway so I made a drink game where I take a shortie of 30% everytime a obese woman enters the stage in western archery competitions. Puked quite a few times after 2 Events

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.

@@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?

Definitely. I couldn’t help but smile every time Erin made a great shot, just seeing the look of relief and exultation on her face made me 😁

@@theabhorrentchef7226 Yes! Same here! It's just delightful :)

Maybe your thinking of Trad or Longbow.....

It used to be a mixed class

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.

40cm

18 metres or 20 yards.

I make her arrows. it is the color purple she wanted

Yup!!

18m

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;… …

18

18 Meters !

I completely agree

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"

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

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.

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.

Get your wokism elsewhere

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. 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

Traditional thumb draw and English longbows are exactly what you are talking about. But only if people shoot real poundage, 70# and up.
