Archers! Interesting Game

Going over my "memories" on facebook I found this old video of what looks like a fun DIY game and practice for archers

Impressive

Great idea. Shame the lads way over-bowed probably causing the poor technique.

It's a compound bow. The actual holding weight is much less than the peak draw weight. That said, I agree it's too much.

Yes, i’m well aware of that and the bows ‘let off’ peak/holding weight but you still have to come to full draw through the peal weight. Either way his technique is poor and he is over drawn. A child of that age shouldn’t be pulling 50lbs peak weight bow.

He's confidently hitting a target much smaller than the kill area on game at a reasonable range; technique seems irrelevant. Or am I missing something?
