Can someone tell me who are the top 3 or 4 3D shooters are using traditional gear. Interested in watching there shooting form.
It's not an easy thing to list as there are IBO and NFAA amatuer and pro and then you have all these different classes within each. Then you have the European shooters who post on other sites and they have their own tours and organizations. I'd suggest googling these organizations and do some research to see who is on the top of each class.
If you want to interact with some to the top shooters in the US and world there is another forum you can go to to read about what they have to say.
PM me.
Rod Jenkins and Rick Welch have both won IBO World Championships. They both teach traditional archery, and both have very different styles. Rod is featured in Masters of the Bare Bow 3, and Rick has a DVD called The Accuracy Factory.
Byron Ferguson is also a very fine traditional archer, who offers classes. I'm not aware that he has competed in tournaments much, but he may be the most famous living archer in the world, having performed in many venues and done many incredible shots in front of live audiences and in videos he has made.
I was hoping to check out some of the shoots on YouTube that often have videos of some of the top shooter in action. I have watched the Masters of the Bare Bow 3. Good watch.
A guy in VA goes by vabowdog (Dwayne ?) on that other forum is a top shooter as is Ranger B (Jimmy Blackmon) Jimmy also posts in his blog the results of the top shooters in the IBO shoots and tons of instructional videos. Zetabow (Steve Morely) post frequently about the top European shooters and Steve is among them. These are all people you can talk to online.

I am chiming in from Germany: Here is a link to a website from Karin and Dietmar Vorderegger. Both of them are multiple IFAA 3D world and European Champs with the longbow.
