Pretty cool. Excellent job by these young archers and really cute little horse that performed flawlessly. I hope they grow up to be champions.  I need to get a horse going that only has to do the archery or make a track where the horse knows to follow the course.  When I shoot my horse will pretty much go where I am looking but one session of archery eats away from his other training as he learns that when I drop the reins he might not have to do right and can start cheating.  I have lots of trouble with the going away shot and with the speed loading.   Still lots of fun, wish I had others to practice with.   Kenneth

My buddies in Canada posted a different video on their website of our May 08 Kassai horseback archery competition.   This one shows about 4 runs from each the competitors.  It includes the 3 young brothers and the rest of us.   It is about a 10 minute video -  my runs start at about 3:43 in this video.  I used someone else's horse, as I can't afford to haul mine anymore.   It is pretty cool and shows a wide range of abilities and some different strategies.  Fast horse or slow horse.  Shoot a bunch of arrows or concentrate on one arrow.    Final score is a combination of time and arrow scores.   Here is the link:   http://www.horsebackarchery.ca/    Enjoy the show!

 Awesome Allen, You did real good and those kids are inspiring. As I wa watching I wondering if you use the fluid "draw through" with no anchor point, in your normal stationary shooting?
