Canuck2 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Re: shooting with teeth? Well, that doesn't seem to be the preferred way to shoot by most archers. HOWEVER, there is a gentleman in southeastern B.C. who shoots that way in the unlimited class at various disciplines - FITA events, 3D, hunting. He has only one arm and regularly beats the pants off even the best 'ablebodied' competition. Last summer, he made quite a splash in the paralympic world archery competitions in Italy. He shoots compound and has a harness arrangement to hook the string to, then draws the bow by pushing out with his arm. Shooting the arrow is accomplished by tripping a release with his teeth. Archery is more than a hobby as he also owns and operates a pro shop. I actually bought my Protec from him last fall and it was amazing to watch him operate with one limb. I watched in awe as he changed strings and cables on various bows, tied string loops on with one hand, and many other tasks that amazed me. hoyt_hunter, when I saw your post I just had to tell you about this guy. Quite something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Re: shooting with teeth? I've got last years Vegas shoot on DVD and there were several individuals shooting with their teeth. Shooting pretty good I might add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Re: shooting with teeth? I've watched a guy with one arm shoot like that. Humbling, to say the least........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultratec1 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Re: shooting with teeth? Jeff Fabry-prostaff shooter for hoyt and won the limited division at Vegas. Jeff shot a perfect 300 vegas round last year. This something that is rarely done in the limited division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knobby Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: shooting with teeth? I would say no it was not Jeff Fabry, but the Hoyt page has an article on him if you care to read it, http://www.hoyt.com/news/newsreleases.tp...387688981684428 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
