i know shef as a friend he setup my bow becouse he worked at the archeryshop that i went to to get my new arrows and i shot with him and to see that he shot strait tens at 18 meters is just insane to think about as i shot like 258 and he shot 290 out of 300 with 30 arrows and the calm state that he was in it looked as if he turned into a different person

I like Zach Garett’s glare after he releases the arrow

There is an analogy here about opening and closing a door.

who was the stupid supervisor was organized this shootout over the water to the target??

[@rolandvantol2338]

Nice setting though

[@MrBlackhawk49]

Why does Van Den Berg carry two bows?

[@peterdraper1478]

Just in case of equipment failure. Its easier to pick up an identical bow than to try to mend the one that's faulty. It can happen - arrow rests can drop off, limbs can delaminate, its unlikely, but he might drop it and knock the limbs out of alignment. That sort of thing.

[@PallyLeonas]

Ive seen it happen that a limb broke. Can cost you a medal. Sjef uses a 46 pound limbs (its limited to 46 pounds by rules), poundage on his fingers is 53 pounds so yea pulling to a max for sure can break something.

@@PallyLeonas no such rule
