Why aren't you practicing archery RIGHT NOW?

because i'm not a faggot LARPing like it's the middle ages

>>42410380
The fuck? I thought long bows had like a 200lb draw.

If I wanted a single arm workout then I just jack off.

I do both. Archery is a lot of fun and really good at helping fight depression

>>42410380
this is of course stupid and wrong but also archery contest bows arent even close to ye olde longbow. hunting bows can get hard to draw though

https://www.spiritarcherybags.com/ArcheryFacts

> The average draw weight of a man’s bow is 50 pounds. In an average tournament, the bow is lifted and drawn more than 312 times for a total of 15,600 pounds (7.8 tons!) pulled over four days. Women pull about 5.3 tons with their 34 pound average bows. To put this in a different perspective, the world's strongest weightlifters lift up to 3,000 pounds (1.5 tons) in a tournament.

Yes, therefore marathon runners are the strongest athletes, because they take 46000 steps, at a bodyweight of 120lb, they are moving an amazing 2760 TONS!!!

It helps with depression for me at least, because it gives me a measurable skill, that I can see improve. I scored x more points on average this time than last. Small victories like this or in the gym add up and make things just a little better, and a little less bleak.

Recurve. Samick Sage 35lb... I know everyone has one, but they are fun, and I only need something simple

>>42410729
this is just like when they say women make 0,80? $ for every 1$ a men make

>>42410380
1.5 tones of what? how? also 70 pounds is considered a heavy draw weight not 7.8 tons. Are you retarded?

>>42410394
>>42410419
>>42411202

This is a stupid pics, i think it's like "all the lifts of one athlete in one event add up to 1,5 tons". Since the archer is shooting lots of arrow he draw is bow a hundred times this sum up to 8 fucking tons.

tldr : by this logic marathonians squat more than strongmans. So pretty retarded logic.


>>42411138
There is actually a gender gap in the salary. When comparing men and women with same job and same education/diplomas men tends to earn a bit more, but it's not 20% more, that number doesn't mean much..

>>42410380
Why is that archer about to shoot that nice man working out?

>>42411932
The gender pay gap is ridiculously small when considering a lot of feminist throw the 77 cents to the dollar meme around.

>>42411932
There is no gender gaps, studies fail to account for more average overtime by men, accepting higher risk/reward positions in the same field (ie more male then female neurosurgeons, more female then male oestreticians) and a million other things that make the pay/hour average (operative word) higher for men and justifiably so

>>42410496

Bulk until you weigh 1.5 tons, then just OHP your bodyweight.

>>42410380
Been thinking about starting, it seems comfy as fuck.

I have a target bag set up in my basement. I use it to practice technique for my vicious bloodthirsty Bambicidal orgies of jihadistic violence against my dinner in the fall...

>There is actually a gender gap in the salary.

SALARY being the key word. Because men work more over-time, take less time off and negotiate harder over salaries.

Men EARN more because they EARN it.

Feminists are just fucking neo-communists who think everybody should be paid the same amount as everyone else because we're all the exact same dispensable human cog.

>>42415238
Nigga you realize your salary isn't affected by the time you take off and most salaried positions are exempt from overtime. That's like the whole point of being salaried instead of hourly.

It depends on how well you treat your arrows.

>>42417449
Idk but ik it's not a healthy amount to spend. I woulf probably have to buy a membership at some range and spend money to rent a bow every time. I dont have the money to buy a bow and i cant store that shit in my dorms. I wish my uni had a recreational club

you think an archer can row 7 tonnes

hahahahaha

>>42418739
If you live in a rural area look for rod and gun clubs. These people would have no problem with allowing you on their premises to shoot bow. Get a used bow from craigslist and 3 decent arrows and youre great. Need a cheap target Youtube has many tutorials on cheap DIY targets that will take 100 hits for little money. Wanna be really cheap? You can make a bow from PVC that can draw to 40# which is surprisingly steong and those can be had for under 10$. Start a thread at DIY and scour the Youtubes my man, god speed and good shootin.

>>42415584
>tfw no friend to make you bows

>>42418799
Thanks anon. How much would a used recurve go for? How much are memberships to these clubs?

CITATION NEEDED

>>42410380
because archery leads to muscle imbalances and poor posture

>>42411932
Tbqh, if there was a gender gap that is 77 cents for every dollar, well men give about 23 percent of their income on women anyway like dates and other shit to make her happy, so it all evens out.

>>42410516
what target do you use? My local field allow me to train but I have to bring my own target

>>42410380
i did archery from 15 to 18
i've met shit tons of hot girls in the club with me, you would be surprised
its worth if you're still in highschool imo

That gap has been explained. Women are more likely to recieve payment in the form of benefits suchas eye and healthcare where as more are more likely to opt out of such benefits. Multiple other reasons to. None of which are bias'd to a gender or show a problem with payrates,

I used to think that archery was for katana wielding autists that wanted to look cool. But apparently it's a reasonably popular afterschool club activity in Japan. And it probably does more for your strength than gun shooting.

That's my take on it.

Im that anon that took a class at my uni. My area is not rural enough to have gun and rod clubs. Would I have to get a certification to shoot at an indoor archery range? All the local ranges i've looked at seemed to only offer classes, not free shooting.

compound bow though so not really that impressive, recurve is about a million times harder

I alternate between a thumb ring and just saying "Fuck this" and using my crossbow because of my wrists.

Can I join this thread please?
