What do the small numbers next to the archers names denote please?

[@heropurbaNaza]

Great👍

[@typhoon2827]

Has Steve changed his name? Has he always been Davies or am I confusing him with someone else?

[@TracyPicabia]

Wind! The enemy. Turns archery into a horrible game of luck. Great shooters, but they both showed all the signs of NOT having a Korean coach 🙃

[@typhoon2827]

Ah contraire!! The wind sorts the wheat from the chaff. Anyone can shoot in perfect conditions. Reading the wind takes real skill and greater mental strength. Some of the most competent archers I know who shoot well in the wind are all former rifle shooters.

@@typhoon2827 au contraire. The wheat waves around chaotically and the chaff has a better chance of nicking sets imho. Are you aware of something called nominative determinism, Typhoon?

[@typhoon2827]

@@wasATsea 🤣👏🏻👏🏻 yes and have you heard of copium? Sounds like an excuse for never practicing in the wind to me.

Wind also hands shooters with high poundage bows an advantage and also those with perfect form and timing ie the Koreans who already have a massive 30? year long head start!!
