2023 Lancaster Archery Classic | Men's Barebow Finals 

Tim for not crawling :-) and Matt Hudson for an amazing show of a form ... I am still in awe about the raw power and nice linear shot Matt demonstrated ...

​@@lubossoltes321don't need to crawl with a 34inch arrow lmao

how many pounds are your bow?

I feel the same. I just started a few weeks ago also

I'm under a month still

Hehe

What's the distance?

@@RobertFord-ii2tc 18m 40cm face.

What's the difference between longbow and barebow

@@Kaun_of_Man i think its longbows are wood, not 100% the longbow is just one peice the barebow has multipul bits,just looked it up..

He was 100% trolling lol

@MrBushLife Have you seen any traditional archery competition videos on yt or any other site like this? I love watching the barebow competition but I want to see what some dedicated archers can do with wooden bows. Shooting off the shelf or off their hand only.

Hey man, there’s no pictures on the scorecard. Those shop owners are putting down your gear because they want to sell you things. Don’t buy into their hype. You shoot your shot, every shot. Archery is a personal thing, and if you are happy with what you’ve got and what you are doing with it, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I wish I have that much money to spend...I am really willing to start a career in barebow ARCHERY

​@@aniketdas9387$330 full kit on ebay is a good bow

I too shot at Cobo, in 1966 and ‘67; winning the Amateur Championship in’66 and finishing 3rd in ‘67. Very proud to have won this tournament, quite exciting.

The powers that be are terrible with their advertising. I never got cable again after I left for the army in 07. I watched a little regular TV a while back and was disgusted and horrified at the level and type of “advertising”. It’s probably always been that bad at least in my lifetime but I hadnt noticed, growing up staring at that damn screen. Niche games/sports whatever depend a lot on advertising so I’m not as mad about them. No pool player is getting millions even though what they do is 8,000x cooler than any lite beer sportsball player. The mic on the face is a hallmark of this competition. They know it makes them a lil uncomfortable but that’s part of the point

Built like a Golden Coral buffet lol.

They have to call the shot before going for it for it to count. And I believe they can only call it once per set.

it's 12 points and you have to call it beforehand

They said in they video, they range is between 32 to 44

@@fulbigman i must have missed that. Thanks.

It's 20 yards. In doors in the US is always 20 yards. And in Europe and Asia it is 18 meters.

Ist count 12 in you call it, there is a button in the ground they have to tap before

The archers get to choose their draw weights and arrows. Some of the arrows will be carbon fiber, some of them will be aluminum. The small device you're seeing is called a cushion plunger or plunger button. It's a spring loaded pin that supports the arrow on the rest. If it is properly adjusted, the cushion plunger can improve the arrow flight for maximum performance.

@@adriandemark3958 ; Thanks for the reply and update .

20 yards

18 meters

59 feet is the best answer

What’s the largest diameter arrows can you use in this class?

Tim is the lower seed. He has to shoot his way up against the higher seeds. It's called a "shoot up." We start with No. 8 vs No.7. Winner advances to shoot against No. 6, then No. 5 and so on until someone shoots against the top seed. The No. 1 seed earned that position through two days of shooting for score.

@@LancasterArcherySupply ohh...thank you LAS..for your excellent response/ answer...much appreciated. Cheers & good shooting to you. !! We in Northern Canada are really enjoying your good youtube channel very much . Our Favorite is the BAREBOW video series.

haha, no.

Homeowners or renters insurance should cover your stuff.

@@elizabethcoombe248 sorry I couldn’t afford it

@@sarg304outdoors Insurance is cheap when taking into account the value of the stuff inside a home. 120$ a month (4$ per day) to sleep sound? No question there.

Insurance is a scam. Unless you plan on using it every other year or so - then it’s a scam going the other way - but if you have to actually use your insurance then they charge you more, drop you, or send an investigator and do everything to get out of paying. They want to sit back and collect money from: - people forced to have insurance by law - people who have bought into the fear. And a lot of these fear types are more careful and responsible people who will likely pay these parasites for their entire lives and maybe use 5% of what they’ve paid. Save your own money instead. Don’t let the machine have your insurance (safety) money or your 401k (relaxin) money. They use it against us. And we need to get rid of “social security” too. What a joke

Free speech just like you posted 🏹🎯

😂😂😂 I agree… comes off so awkward. Even the commentary is usually pretty dire in complete contrast to the actual shoot. The spectators though… ❤ Barebow crowd is lit!

I hope the “scout arrows” can be called something else this year. 😂

Think about the challenges the interviews add to the competitors. It's taking their head out of the game.

Agreed. Golfers would NEVER let someone put a mic in their face while they are playing. This is ridiculous.

That's the thing about barebow. The variations in form from shooter to shooter are considerable. Some guys shoot with strange form and styles, and still walk away with trophies.

They mentioned it in the video but basically the bows are so long that it has almost no effect on the arrow. The arrow rest is moved up as well to keep the arrow aligned straight. And in return they can bring the arrow up to eye level and use the arrow itself to aim down like a sight. It kinda seems like it's an exploit of the rules to shoot this way since it's supposed to be about shooting without a sight and this essentially gives them a sight. But still they are great shots regardless.

Because it is a niche sport. The more people watch and do it the more money flows. How many archers are there around the world? 15-20 million? How many of them buy high end gear? Gear that potentiality last for years. There are more gamers buying new games so the companies can give more tournament money bringing more people and money in. This is the same with women sports. They earn less because they bring lesser audience.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that Lancaster Archery is doing it, and it's a great show, pure pleasure for us. I'm just a bit sorry that there isn't more to show for it for the archers.

@@-fazik-3713 I guess it more about the headcount, I'm marking way higher for archery per year than for gaming in a lifetime. :D

Sponsors, gaming sponsors provide more money usually
