Hard work, just like in any other application will improve success rate.


It takes talent too, but the Pro's right now aren't there just because they were "gifted".

There is alot about archery that is God given talent then there are those of us that have to work for every ounce of talent we can achieve,that is where form and technique become important.


It is both,it is much easier for some than others but to be the best,you have to work at it.Some of us,regardless of how much we work,are not going to be "the best"

Like most sports you have those who are gifted and those that work hard to attain the level they desire to be at.

Thats doesn't mean the gifted ones don't work at it, it just comes easier.

I imagine there are many great 3d shooters who choke on a chip shot at a live animal, and a lot of successful hunters who couldn't compete at 3d.

Competition drives some and consumes others. My golf swing, wouldn't neccesarily be taught, but I beat guys with better swings, routinely.

i voted no. i used to suck at archery until i started to practice and now i am good (not to brag) but i think i am pretty good. and i think anyone could be a great archery shooter if they practice i dont think it just comes to them one day
