It never will be huge, have you seen the way archers look ? They are no fans of running that’s why they do archery in the first place 😂 (I’m also a archer)
I think it's pretty stupid that they are running with their bow in their hands. This not only looks stupid, but also harbors the risk of injury. The arrows remain at the shooting line - why not also the bow?
@@worldarcheryeurope On their back, not in their hands, right? ;) I think this has got to do with the fact that they are not always shooting from the same stand, but in the order of arrival at the shooting line. However, something positive... I like the way the targets are designed. And the idea as such is good. 👍
Is the risk and the consequences of the risk being realised any worse than falling on anything else that may be around the course....there are people carrying their bows on slings on their backs like biathlon so it seems there is option to control the risk by choice.. carrying the weight of the equipment is surely a part of the challenge... why not remove all risk from all sports and we can all just sit back like couch potatoes watching AI / CGI simulated sporting events on live streams or on demand...... no one would ever fall on anything, no one would ever get a rotator cuff tear, tennis elbow, etc etc.... bring it on I reckon.. ;)
I dont see the risk of wearing a bow while running. Its not heavy unless you use a full stabilized one 😂 There is one competition in Merida - Spain on 17th Sep. You are invited.
It’s a good concept but I wish it better mimicked warfare by encouraging more fast shooting and reloading. I’d do this but instead make the sprint shorter, and everyone has to use traditional recurves and hold a bunch of arrows in their bow hand while they ran. Then they’d be trying to hit a hay bail like 50 times, which means they’d have to make trips back and forth to get more arrows to unload. The accuracy would have to meet a certain threshold or they’d get disqualified, and the shots would have to penetrate a certain depth in order to count, but the whole thing would become about speed. The first person to finish would win.
As an Archer for now 40 years and as a runner, I absolutely love this!! Can't wait to see this get huge!!!

@@u982245 i think there is some evidence in this video to the contrary....
Great job !
Great concept for spectators
Great concept, a biathlon for summer..

Why the biathlon athletes ski with their rifle? ;)

stop projecting your own lack of coordination on to actual athletes.
WELL☆PresenT Tomorrow☆!

Would be more fun if they are shooting *while* running.
Cool 😎 🎯❤️🥷
