PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
There have been growing concerns about letting archers draw a bow back without an arrow, as this is associated with a higher risk of dry-fire, stock market crash, and various forms of fast-growing cancer.
Whilst we recognise that dry-firing a bow is well documented to correlate with some precursors to heart disease, we want to assure the archery community that we always take precautionary measures to minimise this risk, including: proper instruction… actually, that’s pretty much it.
These risk mitigation measures are necessary in order to facilitate activities such as... SPT.
SPT has been banned in some archery jurisdictions when it was discovered that if you do it enough, you can get ‘wicked high’ (bow fitness and scores). Rogue Archery’s official SPT policy has been made available in your local municipal office for public consultation.
With further concerns, we encourage you to reach out to your local representative of the International Federation of Archery Police at: complaints@ifap.org.

I went to the airport once with my bow (olympic reserve) and I was asked, "what's inside the case?" "A bow." Then I was asked, "Is it loaded?" I replied, "Its loaded but not cocked." (the response was "I deserved that.")

I would be so scared letting everyone pull back without an arrow nocked 🙊 accidents happen, I couldn’t tempt fate like that. You’re a brave man!

Those archers make it looks so easy.

Got into bare bow a couple months ago, absolutely love the sport in of itself.

Good video. I got very nostalgic as I did target archery from the age of 7 for 50 years. Then a motorcycle accident destroyed my left shoulder beyond repair and ended archery for me. But I still watch all the Olympic archery as it is still the finest sport of all.

It's amazing how when you don't know how to properly engage those muscles a strong guy can have great difficulty in drawing even a 50 lb bow. Once you know how to activate those back muscles, it gets much easier.

I make self bows and shoot instinctive, something I don't think will ever make it to the Olympics, and it's really cool seeing the modern equipment top archers use compared to my bendy sticks.

I am a complete noob at archery. I had never even held a real bow in my life. I decided about 2 weeks ago to buy my first ever bow. I made the mistake of reading some websites and ended up buying a 40lb bow. At first I could not draw the bow fully, but after watching some youtube videos I learned how to stand and how to draw the string properly, then I was able to draw the string  easier, but still not a full draw. I found that I was very scared of something coming loose or breaking and it terrified me. As soon as I got over the fear of something going wrong, I was able to draw the string fully. So my own fear was a barrier for me. Great video, thank you. I am now subscribed.

This video reminds me of that chapter in history where crossbows became more preferred than bows because of how much easier it is for an untrained archer to use. Just load, point and pull the trigger.

I started getting into archery a couple of weeks ago and I am getting reasonably consistent groupings at about 15 metres. It seems so hard to believe that the olympic archers are accurate at 70 metres. That is a hell of a distance. The first day of shooting I broke my sight (cheap plastic sight from bow package deal, first time buyers beware). I got a new metal sight now though and it is crazy the difference it makes to have that solid reference point from the sight.

Scarry man..
Give me goosebumps watching them pulling that bow..felt like he's going to let go at anytime..😅

This not only helped me with knowing the difference between archery sports, it has helped me chose which type of sport I want to go with

The Olympic people make it look very easy....

Over here we can see shivering when you pull the string

I was a national and state champion, as well as making team USA. Saying that I can assure any archer that studying, and practicing Olympic archery forms/technique's.. is the best way (in my opinion) to create your foundation of archery. Learning Olympic archery forms first is like building your house on a rock. No matter what you'll always have a solid form to go by that won't hurt or fail you if done properly. After understanding proper form you can then incorporate it into warbow style shooting, or traditional shooting, etc.  It just makes a better archer I believe.

I know very little about modern Olympic archery, but I was amazed by the skill of the competitors shooting from 70 meters! It's incredible! Thank you for this educational video; I learned a lot! 👌🏻

0:27 / 4:27 😎 Mete Gazoz 😎 He's our pride. He is the pride of Turkey. 🇹🇷💕🙏🏻 Thank you so much for giving us this excitement. 🥇

Getting back into bare bow archery, like so many others,  these vids are really helpful. So many little things make such a big difference. Thanks…🎯

Used to compete back in high school..in the beginning my left arm were bruised because the string got caught in my armguard..with time and coaching improved my shooting form and got to compete in a few competition.. I wasn't that good but wasn't bad either..i miss that part of my youth..

Loved the top gear snippet
