As someone who is a professional instructional designer (for 25 years or so), I can comment that this is one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen. Brilliant use of the technology to achieve the desired outcomes. Perfect.

Probably the most important lesson here is never to assume someone knows something without either asking them or telling them. Great video.

"It shows the power of the mind to ignore what it doesn't want to deal with." This applies with SO much more than archery. Brilliant remark.

That is the most succinct and informative instructional video I have ever seen on yt. Excellent instruction, no repetition or "um's" and "er's" , or waffling or showboating from a love of one's own voice. And the graphics are spot on also. All in all very professional.

Can't believe I had been ignoring string alignment this whole time... Thank you.

Please make a video about aiming without a pin sight! I loved everything about this one - the clear instructions, helpful animations, and proven approach.. Hoping you have vid just like this for instinctive aiming.

Was looking for tips on how to aim a recurve bow. I got a how to use a pin sight.

Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine kzfaq.infoUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

I started archery a year ago and I always wondered: How do I aim? I searched for a guide that shows, what the archer sees, when he aims. And how to. Your guide shows exactly that and I love it! I tried that technique just after watching your video. A few adjustments to my scope and the result was amazing. I would like to say: 100 x Thank you for this guide!!! 🥰

I've been shooting for years and never noticed the string alignment. Great tip! Thanks!

I shoot with both eyes closed

Thank you for this video! I am a retired mechanical engineer and have only started shooting the last two years. I was shooting, concentrating on the target and my set position, but ignoring the alignment of the bow string... just as you have pointed out! I saw your video last night and couldn't wait to get to the range this morning. After my first group of arrows, the results were striking and consistent! What a great tip! Thanks Again.

I watched this when I first started shooting about 3 months ago. Didn't mean much to me. Now, however, with more experience and current trouble aiming and deciding where to align the string, this video is super helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much coach. This is by far the best tutorial among the tons of videos I have seen until now

Thank you thank you. As someone who is just getting into this sport, I found all of your advice extremely helpful.

I've been shooting for years and I've always closed one eye. (Like you said in the tutorial, "nobody ever told me",) Within one hour of practice your tips have made an immediate improvement. Remarkable! Thank you.

Just started learning about archery. Have seen many videos but this was the first video that talked about shooting with both eyes open and makes since! Excellent video!!

Thankyou so much sir, I`m a disabled old Dad, and i bought a couple of bows a few years ago to have something affordable to spend my time. I had a guy come out to teach me said he knew how to shoot a bow, i quickly learned he was wrong so i tried in vain to find a video on archery, even went to sports stores and asked to no avail, so i gave up. Recently i learned how to work a computer a bit and this is so nice to see. I brought my bows out and in a bit im going to try again

Thank you for making this video! I used to aim with only my right eye, because I thought it was logical. But your video really cleared things up!

I've started shooting with my recurve a little under two months ago. Before watching this video my grouping was twenty-five inches at twenty yards. After watching this video my grouping is at twelve inches at twenty yards consistently. Anyone watching this should use the information; I believe it'll improve grouping. Thank you very much ArcheryWinchester.

This is the most important video I’ve watched since I began archery. I wish I watched this video even before I ordered my Bow. Thank you!!!

I have been shooting my Compound bow for a while and bought a Recurve to use as a more traditional bow, and this helps me a ton, thank you.

When I was shooting Portsmouth's and scoring around 520 I started to have eye dominance issues, my left eye started to take over. So about six months ago I started closing the left eye. Slowly I improved, a point or two at a time, still with that eye closed, last week shooting a PB of 543. Went shooting today and someone showed me this video. Immediately shot a 555 Portsmouth with both eyes open and added 12 onto my PB, this biggest jump since I started scoring over 500. Thanks!

This is the most useful video I found about archery after many hours looking for, thank you! Extremely well guided and commented, thank you for the amazing work!

My goodness this was a gem! I just started archery yesterday and been watching a lot of videos. This one helped the most 👏🏽

Best beginner guide that most other video didn’t cover. Many thanks

Those graphics are clever. Still the best on youtube to date. Thanks for the effort in producing this.

thar was the most useful teaching iv ever had in archery!!!!! thank you

Great video!! Thank you!! I really appreciate how classy you are when you reply to others who have contrary views.

So far, this is the best instructional video I have ever found. Thank yo sir

Thank you a lot!!! It took me about 20 videos on "aming topics" before you were the first, who startet from the really basics on aming.

I must confess, growing up in archery in the late 60’s and through the mid 70’s I have never heard of any of this. We shot in the TAA, Tennessee Archery Association, My mom won multiple State championship tournaments. Her and Dad won many State club tournaments. Competitor’s from across the state, different tournaments every weekend, lasting friendships. You guys remember to have fun and don’t be so serious, you’ll enjoy it a lot more.

WOW What a clear explanation! Great images, helped me realize a lot of things about aiming!

Great video, love the animations and how concise this was put together, massive help to any budding archer!

I've been having issues with my aiming since I got my new bow and sight, hopefully, with a clear head and those points, I'll get some on my struggles fixed. Thank you !

Iv always aimed with my left eye closed I'm definitely doing this Saturday when I go to practice! Thanks for the tips!

I shoot barebow and am glad you talked about string alignment. This is something to which I will have to pay attention to improve my consistency.

This is a great, wonderful tutorial! All the steps my instructor missed and nobody tell you. THANK YOU!

This tutorial was excellent!,,And invaluable..Thank you!

What a well produced and insightful video. I don't even do archery and yet I've learned so much in under 7 minutes haha

As a rifle shooter, i can appreciate the amount of variables an archer has to deal with : The daylight, the wind, not to mention the wear on the muscles after each shot.

Maybe the best aiming tutorial up to date!

GREAT visuals and explanation. Thank you!!

Excellent explanation, thank you. A very good reminder, after not shooting competitively for a few years. I was forgetting to alight the bow string

Where was this video before! It just popped up first in my suggestions, and I didn't check archery videos for weeks. Precious info! Thanks! ...and kudos to the Algorithm.

Excellent video. Great instructions given in a very understandable way. Great job.

Amazing tutorial. I wish I had such explanations few years back when I was doing archery.

What a difference! In one day I improved my cluster at 20 meters hugely. I had no idea until this video.

Thank you so much for this video, you have helped me understand what I, am doing wrong, you explained it in such a way that it was simple to understand completely what your explaining. I, am so glad I found your advice thank you again

Thank you. Just started using sight and will use your tips. Never knew which eye to close xx

I’ve been shooting a compound bow for 25 years and I think I just learned a couple things that will make me a better shot.

Quite short and extremely useful info. Thank's a lot!

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

well explained,,I'm starting out. THANK YOU for the great info

This is the best and independent about aiming. Thank you.

Thank you sir for this amazingly helpful tutorial !

Beautifully explained. Thanks.

Brilliant. We are starting our tuition course Saturday and I shall use all the tips here; very well explained.

Extremely helpful. I hit four bullseye's in a row for the first time

Excellent, been watching lots of tuto and this may be the very best one. Especially the string alignement, which my bow sensei mentioned yesterday and haven't seen mentioned on other vids

I am a beginner shooting trad/instinctive and even so your tips give me insights on how to see the target. Thanks very much!

Beautifully presented and explained. Superb, thank you.

Great video I'm left eye dominant. I write and eat and other things lefty. But I shoot throw a ball righty. My Drill sergeant pick up on it when he saw me leaning over the rifle. He saved my career. I spent 30 years 20 years in the Ranger regiment. That's how I learned how to shoot with both eyes open.. Thanks.and when not deployed I always found time for archery.

I have no intention of either competing or hunting yet I found this video extremely helpful. For what you might ask? To increase my pleasure when striving to make smaller and smaller groups. Thank-you John@Winchester.

your video really helped me solve my string alignment problem❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this. No one at my club has pointed out that one of my eyes is always closed and therefore hindering me (to be fair, people don't stand in front of me when I shoot). I always just found it less confusing and more comfortable with the one eye, but now I see I obviously need to get a little uncomfortable and let my second eye join the fun! I'm genuinely a bit mind blown that human eyes have evolved to be such a great tool for aiming. (and sad I haven't used it to my advantage)

Thank You. I’m an absolute beginner and just bought my first bow and arrows from a reputable dealer. I definitely think they gave me some fine instruction with my purchase, but this is very helpful for me as I’m left eye dominate, yet right handed. I’ll simply start with both of my eyes open and learn from there how to target.

This video is gold. Thank you so much for sharing

40 years ago we used a string pinhole so the string always setup in the same position. Thanks for the video.

Wow, this video has amazing information!! Glad I checked it out now rather than later... Thanks for posting it!

Thank you Mr ,, I don't have a coach beside me to correct my mistakes and shooting , I got a lot of information with videos on KZfaq Your channel is very helpful

Thank you very much for making & posting this video. I am not a club archer, just a backyard hack with a sports store recurve bow(Geologic Intech if you know it). It has sights & a plunger button but I wouldn't dare walk into a serious archery club with it. After weeks & months of no improvement, randomly landing arrows anywhere within the blue ring I was getting frustrated & about to give it up as a bad joke. However, doing everything you said in your video, within a couple of hours, I now consistently land them into the gold. I now am enjoying the challenge of improving further, maybe landing them all in the 10 ring, who knows? I just wanted you to know you made a difference to someone with your video. Thanks again - Andrew

Awesome. You put In a lot of effort making this video. Appreciate it

That is nice information to know and I have to remember that information for when I get my bow and train aiming my arrow according to how they land after shooting the bow a few times and adjusting my aim until it is where I want it.

Sir, thank for a great video. I love doing archery and I want to improve my performance. I found your video extremely interesting, and I will try to apply this tomorrow when I go to my archery club. I will update then on the results.

This was brilliantly explained! very informative!

Thank you, I’m going to try these tips.

I m Deaf myself, I m not very good with aims until i found one i actually shoot by using my both eyes looking at targets assuming its an instinctively shooting but never knew and learned something with this video i ll try it with this one thank you for sharing👌!

Thank you very much for this movie.

Just picked up a longbow, far different than my compound. These tips helped greatly in learning my trad bow, and I’m sure useful with compound. Thanks

Great! Am about to start up again with traditional this helps a lot.

wow best video I have seen on archery

Hey, I actually learned about how lighting effects the string as well as a little about string alignment and why to aim with both eyes.

thank you. i'm going to go try these techniques right now...

Brand new to the sport, great info, thanks, the visuals really helped, and could have used a lot of the same info when i got into rifles

This man just blew my mind

thanks for this video!😎 hopefully it will help me improve in bare bow archery! God bless you!

This has helped my consistency with compound

Really good advice, thank you.

Thank you for this video. Putting this to practice tonight!

This deserves more likes!

Amazingly useful video. Tks!

Excellent video!

Thank you, great advice that makes a whole lotta sense. Cheers!

Awesome video. Help me improve my shooting. Thank you. Hope you make more.

best explanation I've seen

Great video. I have a watched a few of your videos and they always seem to have little nuggets of information that are either missed or assumed in the instructional books i read or by some coaches. The bit about the changing of lighting both artificial and natural causing apparent movement in the string picture. Even if you figure out what is happening it causes a delay in your shot process which inevitably leads to poor shots. The fact I can now be prepared for that is great. The tip of moving the string picture to counter left or rights on the barebow is something that is actually obvious when you think about it but i ve never seen being taught anywhere. Keep up the good work! And thanks.

Very good information!!! Thank you, so much.

I'm just getting into Archery and that was an excellent lesson. I too have been aiming with one eye closed. I'll get out of the habit now 😀

Great information thank you. I thought I knew everything there was to learn but nope always keypad learning. Thank you so much for explaing these tips. peace
