The Rules of Archery - EXPLAINED! 

Ninh explains - The Rules of Archery, starring my future wife Chang Hye-Jin (wishful thinking, I know). As contested in the Olympic Games, there's actually several forms of archery, but this video covers indoor and outdoor target archery. Hope you guys find this video helpful?!

Came here for the arrows; stayed for the Street Fighter music.

This channel was a great for sport journalists.

Love the street fighter music. Nice touch

But can Ninh explain why Koreans are so dominant in this sport? (Actually that'd be a cool series, explaining why some countries excel in certain sports)

As usual, very well edited and informative. Gonna watch some archery now.

Love the Capcom tracks on these.

I have just discovered your channel and I love it! my gym exam is next week and I your videos helped me so much so thank you!

The best part of the video is when he says the good karma thing, I like it and think it is a cool thing to say😃😃

Really helpful .. Thanks for making such a nice video. Thanks

Beautifully explained.

Great video love learning a new sport

Great video :) It's pretty accurate (pun intended) as far (see what I did there?) as the basic rules are concerned. One thing that would have been nice to be mentioned is that the indoor targets for compound and recurve are different. the "dutch target" (the 3 targets in a vertical line) for recurve has a bigger 10, which is split into two sections: the "regular" 10 and the "x". hitting the "x" counts as a 10 but when a tie occurs, the person/team with the most "x"s in that set will win the set. Compound, however, does not have the "outer" 10 (only the x) since compound shooters have all kinds of tools that make them more accurate (release aid, maginifying scopes and a water spirit for example). Feel free to ask any questions as a response on and I'll try to answer them :)

Great music choice

Something you missed was inner/outer 10. In the 10 ring (the innermost 2 of the 3 yellow/gold rings, because of course), the score can change depending on what type of bow you shoot. Recurves typically shoot outer 10, which means both inner rings count for 10 points, and the innermost sometimes gets scored as an X. Compounds typically shoot inner 10, meaning only the innermost ring counts for 10, and the two outer rings are scored as 9. It's much easier to shoot accurately with compounds, so that's why the two scoring systems arose.

I just wanted to point out that, @2:46, the 40cm target shown is only a portion of a standard 40cm target. The size shown is only the center 24cm of a 40cm target.

What's your process for creating these videos?

please do CROSSBOW ARCHERY.

korea is really good at this sport.....like really good

first to fully watch the video and then comment

As a target archer I'm going to get really pedantic about this, but this video was still great. Firstly, this video should really be called "The Rules of Head to Head Archery" (or something similar), because target archery is typically not in a head to head format, but in rounds (For example a WA1440 round is 12doz arrows at 4 different distances), and the Olympics and other large tournaments (in this context different from competitions) have a ranking round shot at the start, giving archers seeds for the head to heads. The size of the face (the paper "face" attached to the "boss" (the straw or foam block the arrows stop in)) and distance (outside) are usually set depending on the bowstyle, Recurve a 122cm face at 70m, and compound a 80cm face at 50m. The Set point system is nearly universal, and 90% of big tournaments use that scoring method. No offence here (as I'm sure it must be basically impossible to find good sources for these), but the timing section you mentioned is completely wrong for outside as it's been confused with shooting rounds. Inside or Outside, you receive 20 seconds to shoot each arrow, although you may nock an arrow (place an arrow on the bow) before your opponent has shot. That figure of 2/4 minutes has come from shooting rounds, having 4 mins for 6 arrows and 2 mins for 3 arrows. The faces used for indoors you mentioned are referred to as "triple spots" and are not used to make it more difficult, but to make sure extremely consistent archers don't "Robin Hood" (shoot and smash) all their arrows, which would happen if they used a single spot face (one gold, one red etc.) That's about all that needs to be mentioned, but still a great video, and keep up the great work! P.S. The Koreans are great at archery. If you're shooting against a Korean at the Olympics, you're shooting for a silver medal.

Nice streetfighter sound track

Maybe you could do the rules of some competitive e-sports games...

Can u explain the world games plz

I’m a good archer

Anyone know how much or where I could get an Olympic bow?

Apparently S Koreans dominate this sport (at least outdoor archery for sure). I wonder which bow they prefer or in general which bow is preferred for which archery by archers & why? Personal comfort?

Ninh, where r u from

Archery is so tough really, rules are simple skills are hard.

Why is there street fighter music playing?
