the target range looks so near to them yet they're getting all kinds of misses.

You'd think the top of the top archers should be nailing bullseye after bullseye every shot

Thats like asking why arent pro golfers making hole in ones on every par 3, pro baseball players hitting every pitch, or a pro quarterback throwing completions every pass. That shit is hard.

But how many humans actually practice archery?

It doesnt seem like theres much competition to be considered a world-class athlete in that sport

I mean it's not gonna be the same talent pool as the 100m sprint but I doubt it's a cake walk, lol

Archery is hard. Most neckbeards would starve to death before mastering the bow.
