It is true even a blind squirrel can find an acorn. Several top shooters have poor form but do everything the same. How long they go before experiencing injuries is the difference. Proper form helps longevity because the right distribution of the draw weight is achieved. Some handicap archers have to adjust. A strong determination to do your best is very important.
Has he won since 2013? He placed 5th in the world that year, then and competed in 2014. But I have not hear from him since.
 
Sorry I just found recent pictures of Vegas. Also found photos from other events, the issues shown don't seem to be in those photos. You are right that he won again, check out his form at that event. It looks nothing like the picture that we were just shown. I wonder why he would change up something to achieve better performance, That does not make sense if just having fun is what it is all about.
 
Some of what I read is true. Some people have a natural talent just watch "Little Big Shots", the kids amaze me. Others who are not so gifted have to work their tails off. If only the gifted were allow to play a sport, coaching would not be necessary at all and sadly this website would not exist. Personal I do not care if you can stand on your head and shoot a perfect score. It is all about shooting a 10 and repeating. Not how well your coach can perform but what he knows that my improve my game. My high school coaches were never in a Super Bowl so that is the reason for our losing seasons. Each individual is different of course I cannot hang 11+ lbs of bow off my bow hand. However this is why my bow does not weigh nearly that much. Coaches are not perfect however I don't see you name in the top 5 either. Unless you study the back muscles, you have no idea what cause lower back strain. It my case it has been too many people riding my back.
