Recurve archery is easy

Just do the same thing, the same way every single time.

Brady Ellison managed to do the same thing on 90 consecutive arrows over three days in Vegas. Unbelievable.

That is incredible shooting. Well done. Especially happy that he did it before some of the Korean or European guys did.

What a disadvantage to do it with fingers- wow.

It's easy to do the same thing all the time! If missing is that thing you do!

Amazing

no easy feat by any stretch of the imagination.

Dude's a beast. Congrats to him!

He does have a sight on his bow.

Sight or not that is impressive!

Correct. He's also shooting with fingers.
Have you shot a recurve with a sight? I'm not being argumentive but a sight on a traditional bow is much different than a sight on a compound with a release and sure no magic for accuracy.

I'm guessing that 20 yards indoors is a chip shot for someone like Ellison who competes at 70 meters but 90 straight arrows in a 1.5" circle is an amazing feat.

Well done. This wasn’t a physical test. When he nocked up the 90th arrow after shooting 89 perfect shots, the mental gymnastics that guy had to go through to execute just one more perfect shot is flat-out impressive. THAT was the game here.

Not only did he need to use a sight, if you look at the picture in the article, none of those shots are in the center.

He missed! They must just give away perfect scores.
