British archers. One of the finest archers known in history. I hope to see
that Great Britain would still bring it’s legacy as to the title where they
are great archers
I think all the gadgets should be illegal. i bet any of those tribes in
Africa would wipe the floor with all of them with just a stick and a string
if they were all equal.
I have a question to who ever wants to respone to it. I am practicing for
the next summer Olympics. And I am a going to be a archer. I don’t know
what to use? Compound ? Recurve ? Thanke u so much
i say you go for it and ask your parents to pay for your lessons…
Usually, people are born into their sport and start really early.
especially archery, shooting, and equestrian. But you can do anything if
you have the desire.
Oh I don’t really shoot a lot, but I’m a fan of archery Especially after
a lot of my fandoms have bows and arrows. But for your question,
Legolas-style bow- neat, wooden, and awesome. 😀
If you mean like begin to compete then not very long, if you have equipment
go out to a local completion, even if you don’t win it’s still a bunch of
fun and helps with experience 😉
You stop modifying a bow when the modifications no longer make it a bow any
more. If you were to turn it on its side and stick in the ground it would
be a small ballista. Also, if you to add a motor to a rowing bow it would
be a motor boat since it has a motor.
All these “gadgets” don’t magically give you better scores, they will only
help you if you have the skills to be able to use them. And theses archers
don’t rely on technology. The idea behind these bow is to make them as
consistent as possible so the archers don’t have to worry about anything
else but their form.
I will agree to disagree on this topic then. For me, a shooting competition
in which the bullseye is the size of a dime and located 50m away, and the
Gold Medal scores 600 points to the Silver Medal’s 599 is incredibly
exciting. It’s just a different type of discipline. If you’re not familiar,
you’d enjoy 3D Archery Shoots, but unfortunately they are not an Olympic
sport.

Stupid traditionalists. Think these bows are impressive? Google Image
“Compound Bow”. Then see what you think.
i wonder if they would use old nature bows like pros not all tech cause you
get so much help its not like your helping you.
I like normal, old fashion bows with no new high tech stuff. Katniss
Everdeen, Susan, and Legolas’s style

just cause you have a bow and arrow doesnt mean your a archer.

That’s what these bow are made to do, hit the gold. And to do that they
need to be an consistent as possible.
