BF2S Forums My aunt, who is shooting for Team USA archery in London Paralympics

That's cool!

Is it bad that I first read the title of the thread as: My aunt, who is shooting up for Team USA archery in London Paralympics?

Yay Atlanta! I actually think I caught the tail end of this on tv. Congrats to her I hope she goes far.

Also... Why do archers use compound bows?! Recurve and long bows are where its at.

Longbows are definately were its at. A friend of mine used to medieval re-enactment and they have some with that >120lb draw weight, lets just say I couldn't draw them fully.

It isn't any worse than my misreading...

I was thinking "Man, I am not good with a bow while standing on the ground... I can't imagine having to try to compensate for your rate of falling, PLUS pull a bow while trying to guide your chute down..."
