Earlier this year I was really, really lucky to get into the biggest competion I've ever seen. The archery World Champs in Turkey 2013. I shot in the recurve division, which explains why all my pictures are of compound shooters :D Coaches included there were 650 people at the event - not as big as the Vegas Shoot, but a fairly substantial group non the less.

    4... What can I say, I am a guy.

    11 is awesome. Is the arrow flexing?

    An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

    Mikko there shoots a Mathews, which is also fairly common.

    The picture is barely showing how much flexing actually takes place. Recurve shooters use arrows that twist even more - the flex is put to use to help the fletching clear the arrow rest.

    It's not all that difficult, a lot of light for short exposures, drive mode on high speed and then just several stabs at it. The most difficult part I've found is not running out of buffer before the archer actually shoots :)
