World Archery Cup: Stage 2 Videos

AcheryTV has begun to post video's from last week's World Cup Stage 2 in Antalya, Turkey.

On an editorial note, check out the anchor and overall shooting style of Colombian archer Maia Marcen. Definitely unorthodox but who's to argue with the results. I don't think I've seen a wrist strap release used at this level of competition since Dietmar Trillus and the Canadian Men's team shot against The United States in 2009 (though I by no means have seen every single video haha). Although, one could argue that it is actually an adaptation of the chin anchor found in the Olympic Recurve discipline, and in all fairness a wrist strap can just as effectively be shot with back tension as any other release.
