I saw this video on the recent outdoors games in America where they had to shoot all different types of targets. Butch Johnson was using a compound and Randy Ulmer was competing (He is my heor in Archery). The first target was a moving diamond with a small amount of green targets and one smaller red target (worth more points) on each half, the two archers went head to head to see who could gather the most points on the moving target in 30 seconds. The next target were four small, round, green targets positioned vertically were colourful, distracting obsticles narrowing the range of shooting these small targets 40 metres away. The competetors shot as many of the targets as they could in 30 seconds. The last target was a metal plated wall with small areas on it where the targets were located. Each opponent had two green targets and two smaller red targets (worth more points) on this target. The target was around 90 metres away and the archers had to have their backs towards the target because the target would move itself up and down the range to vary the target distance. The archers would turn around, gauge their distances and shoot their desired target, this would happen four times and if the archer missed their target a explosive display of X10's smashing into a metal wall would happen making any archer watching cringe.
I thought this was a great display of archery entertainment and was wondering if anyone else saw this and what they thought about it.
