Subscribed from Australia! Refreshing to see your honesty and that the sport of archery doesn't have to cost the world to enjoy it! Too many videos (sponsored as well) have all the top of the line gear and ppl think its all needed to enjoy this awesome sport. Technique and practice practice practice! But most of all like you! Have fun!!

Since you use a wrist strap trigger release you can have a smaller d-loop, a longer d-loop is generally used for hinge and button release to compensate for the little amount of twist that happens due to how its held at full draw. But at the end of the day it is what is comfortable for you as far as they go. Also I would suggest getting a rubber arrow puller. they usually like 5$ or so and it helps getting those arrows out without bending them.

3 weeks into my journey. I noticed some inconsistent things while shooting. I was using wrong spine arrows, my cams were a little off, d loop too long, draw length too long, knock pinch, got a new sight hole thing, so I finally went to a local pro shop. Highly recommend it, even if it's clearing up any questions you have, haven't met another archer who isn't excited to share some tips. I'm sure they'll work within your budget too, Love the passion it's cool to see!!

I've notice you grip the bow. Your shoots will improve if you take your fingers off the riser. Just let the bow settle in the web of your hand. It helped me out alot.

Oh, and the d loop is fine, what people don't know is bear doesn't tighten the crap out of the d loop so it can be moved without removal . It's just stretched and in place, as it needs to be. Try shortening your release, so as to have your finger hook over the trigger more. Again, keep learning, shooting and having fun.

One thing I have noticed in the last couple videos is that you grip the bow when you shoot instead of letting it float and letting the wrist strap catch the bow after the shot.That's why the bows drop with higher level shooters. Some other good chanels to watch are -Nock on archery (the school of nock series is a great way to start from the basics) - the group at Spokane Valley Archery. There are a couple channels in that group but there is definitely some good info. Tim Connor does similar to your stuff (learn along type stuff) but he's doing it with MFJJ Elkshape is more slightly more hunting based MFJJ is more technical stuff (gear reviews, bow set up,) but he is the most knowledgeable of the group about the stuff. Sorry for the long comment but I appreciate your channel and showing people the journey from ground 0 so to speak.

Yes I would agree, good advice right there.. There are videos on the tube on torquing your bow, and with a firm grip torquing is almost a for sure thing which will make your arrow go where your not aiming. But keep shooting your doing great
@stevescope10375 ай бұрын
Yes, this is what you should work on. Grip hand should be at like a 45 degree angle with front fingers loose. Bow handle should not really cross your lifeline on the palm of your hand. You’re shooting good! Fixing this will take you up another level

If you want to shoot faster, it'll be by way of instinctive traditional barebow... not for the faint of heart but lots of fun to learn. Other than that, archery is an aiming sport. Precise aiming takes time. Something you might be interested in learning is what's called a "shot process". Basically a mental checklist to rid your shot of gremlins. Good, consistent form is everything. Stance, anchor points, pushing your bowhand through the target, no plucking the release,.. this kind of stuff. For targets, just tightly stuff a bunch of light plastic in burlap, or just a big bag.... pull your arrows out with two fingers. I hope you're letting yourself get some recovery time in. I've seen more than a few guys push the limits and pay the price. 👍 Leave your d-loop alone lol. Unless you think it's affecting your draw length.. If you want to spend money on equipment, that's up to you but you wont notice any difference till you get your form solid. Hand torque gets a lot of shooters. Learning to tune your bow and arrows is like being your own mechanic, only easier.

I mean you can still shoot field tips into that black side as wel that doesn’t matter. But don’t recommend shooting broadheads into the white side. It’s as hard or harder to pull those out kinda like how you struggled in the video. Imagine a super sharp edge being thrown around yanking on the arrow, sketchy!

Slow is fast. You’re not shooting slow. When you get to hunting you will draw when you have a chance. More then likely your going to be holding for a period of time before you get the right ethical shot. Your D loop looks fine. Like someone said new D loops are always a little loose regardless of who makes the bow. Default length is around 7/8 Depending on your anchor point it can be made shorter or a little longer. If you’re happy with it write the length down. Someone did mention it and I noticed it in the last video vs this one you kept having the bow rock back towards you this time it was falling forward. Don’t grip the bow with your fingers let it rock forward. Your finger tips should just be touching the riser with no pressure. Keep the hard work up

Where in your index rests the trigger? If so you can go even shorter on the release so you can wrap your finger around and squeeze and pul. It will improve your accuracy enormously.

Also you asked about shooting fast. Shooting accurately is more important. Practice that first and with practice, speed will come with it. Would recommend a quiver to hold arrows on your hip. Easy fast arrow draw. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

You also mentioned practicing drawing with your bow and getting sights on target. You can absolutely do that. Just do not dry fire your bow without an arrow knocked on the string. That is bad for your bow. You can slowly bring your draw back down. Be careful if your pulling heavy poundage that may be difficult. Just don't hurt yourself in the process.

Get in the habit of keeping your hand and other body parts away from the arrow shaft when pulling arrows ( not such a big deal when shooting field points) but shooting broadheads and you have your hand or leg bracing the target next to the shaft you can slice your self open

My D loop is as long when new. It will be fine, just make sure the melted button ends of the d loop are still locked in. I noticed at around the 4:02 you show your arrow loaded, the white knock of the arrow should be in line (at top) with the string. Not sure how much it means but theoretically it does. I get the addiction, I got in last july and have been you , and still am.

your dloop is long but some folks like that you do need some soft nocks so you dont get nock pinch. who ever set up that bow dont know what they are doing or just dont care , also if you change your dloop it will change your anchor. I dont know what poundage your pulling but if you get up to 70 or more I would say shoot different parts of that target if you shoot the same spot your arrows will be going through it pretty fast or at least to or past your vanes. you dont need to shoot fast this is not a hand gun your not using it for self defense but they do make a bow for sorta what you want called the AccuBow.. just keep doing what your doing shoot till you can shoot 100-150 arrows each session I shoot at least a 100 a day and know others who shoot way more.. great job man God bless

Look into shot trainers for the desire to practice without practicing with your actual bow. You can buy one or make one. I made my own which works perfect. I used a multi tool for my handle and some paracord. Really nice tool to have and cheap to make. and bro your process looks solid just keep fixing the little things and the speed will come as you already said in your video.

Been loving your journey. Just FYI, I noticed some of your arrows are upside down when nocked. The white vane should be up, look at the rest, the black triangle should not have a vane go through, it's a thicker material, will change you shot placement. Cock vane up, hen vanes to the sides, that's what it's called. You don't want a vane going through that area of the rest. Good deal on the target. Keep doing it bro.

Since you're in the addiction mode, go and shoot a local 3d shoot. We have them weekly at the local club I joined. For non members they can shoot a 20 target course for $12.00 3 nights a week (In michigan) so starts in three weeks. But man go do that. As long as you are sighted in for more distance as well we have a small course most shots are 15-40 yards but some courses are longer...... addiction increased

Honestly, Just try to stay on Target. Archery, is all about precision, speed is secondary. Then your using a compound bow with a higher draw weight so speed is kind of out. It's all about adjustments to build accuracy and speed is slowly going to come naturally. Also if your trying to simulate archery draw, my method is to use stretch arm resistance bands, upper body training especially around the shoulders, and breathing control with cardio training to slightly reduce heart rate. That's the best I can tell you. Mind your fingers too.
