Whilst you are facing the target the sport is an individual one , its (just) you with a bendy stick trying to get small pointy things into a coloured circle some distance away ... yeah... just...
Before you get to face that target (and at that point you are alone) your team has been working with you:
Provider of bow hardware
Set-up of bow
Stringmaker
Arrowmaker
(GNAS / NFAS )
Coach
Coach you went to because you didn't like what the 1st coach was telling you
Encouragement from peer group
Authors of books
Teamaker
Club Organisation
I would suggest that whilst many archers sort out the first few by themselves ( don't trust anyone else ?) the best archers have a wide source of the second half of my list.
There are some great F1 / MotoGP pilots but they cant win races without the team they have behind them.
