What release is Paige using?

[@OzarkHoller]

True ball goat I think, You can shoot it as a thumb button or a hinge.

[@SomeGuyFromOK]

I think Paige would beat a lot of the men out there. I’d love to see that actually.

[@henrykoplien1007]

Yes, this might be true. But I am astonished how many very good archers the US have.

[@capricornmagic63]

Why would you love to see it?

[@capricornmagic63]

Why is it that so many of these Archers are overweight?

[@rickadams9]

Diet choices. Way to many carbs/sugar.

@@capricornmagic63 They are athletes, it takes years of training and incredible skill to get the sort of accuracy they have. Unfortunately when people start min maxxing their training for archery like this, some aspects of their fitness are inevitably neglected. This is exactly the same as elite powerlifters, who are often kinda chubby and won't strike you as an athlete. There is an arguement for stability here, as there have been people in the past who lost weight and experienced a drop in accuracy. If you look at the general archery community though, there are plenty of pro archers who do look very lean, e.g. levi morgan
