Join Coach Tara as she explains the Gap Shooting Method. Tara goes over why she prefers using this method when teaching beginners how to shoot. There are several styles of aiming when shooting the bare bow (instinctive, gap, string walking, and face walking).

Very much agree. New to archery and have watched many videos. The tips are not over explained and even for a newbie very easy to follow. Thank you.

Seems to be similar to how I started: I aimed and judged how much the arrow would drop at a given distance. Same as shooting a rifle. Coach Tara has some good advice. Will be back.

Hello Tara, Really thankful to have found your videos, its been a while now since I last practiced and, of course , have forgotten a lot and developed some bad habits which all combined for some really inconsistent shooting and v frustrating practice!! You explain everything so clearly and I can now look forward to ironing out those creases! Thank you 🙏

Hi Tara, just want to tell you that you're my savior. I'm a beginner in archery with only 3 days of practicing barebow. I was having hard times grouping my arrows by using stringwalking. But then I tried your method here, and got 4/6 on the yellow from 12m of distance. Thank you very much!

When I took a shot at a target from 54 yards, I almost needed to shoot volley. When the arrow curves in the air, even small adjustments can make big difference where it will land.

Haha! Yes, I grew up shooting right hand as a left-eye dominant person. After 13 years, I tried the left eye to see if it helped - and I really liked it! LOL I like the Samick Sage as a beginner. I think I have a link in the description box that will get you to the bow! Have a great day!

You can’t zoom in you gotta just aim carefully and shoot. If you miss it’s cause you suck.

3 under sucks! Use the mediterranean draw, Target Archer!!! I have been doing this since 1965 and have shot all three disciplines. Forget all the goofballs! There is the high draw style of Howard Hill and English style of Horace Ford. We will call the place you wish to hit, the 'spot'. In the first style you raise and draw the bow simultaneously. The last 4-6 inches, you are drawing straight back. The protruding shaft of the arrow and the side of the bow form a 'V'. Place the 'spot' in that 'V' as you complete the draw. As you 'feel your anchor', cant the bow to the right (right handed shooters). Practice this (in drawing practice) by aiming at a spot on a wall and watching your arrow come into line as you cant the bow. In hunting and Field Archery it becomes natural to cant without too much attention on the shaft of the arrow. The English style as stated by Horace Ford is similar to modern target archery except there are no sights. Anchoring is similar and I have always found that I am only seeing the left half of the 'spot' because of the string. Pointing the tip of the arrow in the correct place isn't that much of a problem if you know the distance. Some people have their notebook and record the 'Gap' or 'aim-off' as I call it and that's perfectly alright in this style of shooting. I did this style in England where they start out at 50 and 60 yards and I never missed the target, except in practice. I shot my first deer when I was 16 YO using a Howard Hill longbow. I used the high draw style as I explained above. The deer was running full out and jumping an 8 ft. ditch when my arrow passed through his left shoulder blade, cut his spine and stopped in his right shoulder. This is definitely the style for hunting.

I actually shoot both! I'm right-handed, but left-eye dominant. Shot most of my career as a right shooter...then swapped over and really enjoy shooting left! It helps when I am making videos and need different angles for the sun LOL
