A true archery legend.

Like everything else in life, archery is 99% mental.

A legally blind South Korean set a new world record today in the Olympics. They shoot recurves at 70 meters, outdoors, and he shot a 699 out of a possible 720. He can only see the color of the target, the rest is muscle memory.

"Going off of muscle memory has proven plenty effective for the two-time team gold medalist."

I just got done working-out my daughter for another sport and muscle memory is our off season focus right now...I will pass this on to her. Great story, thanks.
