Against drag racers, archers stand out only for seeking fewer thrills, while neuroticism, extraversion, experience seeking and boredom do not separate them. Against British golfers of the same standard they differ on nine scales out of twenty, always with small effects, between 3 and 9 per cent of the variance: less fear of judgement, less social anxiety, less need to look perfect, less extraversion. In Turkey, across four sports, archers report more confidence and more commitment but less sense of control, and the profile recognises them in sixteen cases out of twenty-five, mistaking them mostly for dancers. These are cross-sectional studies, each with a single country and few comparison sports, and none asks whether the profile comes from the shooting or from the people who choose it.claim:profilo-mentale-arcieri-altri-sport:revision:2026-08-19:2Wed, 19 Aug 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/archers-mental-profile-other-sports#storiaAn Indian comparison between fourteen university archers and fourteen target shooters finds the archers lower on the concentration scale, 9.7 against 14.1, with twice the spread among the shooters. It is a single scale on two small groups, in a journal the registry marks as a questionable venue, and a venue like that does not decide a status. The three comparisons that can be read in numbers remain, all cross-sectional and all pointing the same way: differences on some scales, groups that largely overlap.
