....stump shooting w/ a rubber blunt......oh lord I miss that, thanks for this, trad is amazing.

I shot gap "at the target" for years and it worked. Instinctive gap is real. Then Gary McCain explained gap "at the bow" on a forum I was on. It's really gap "at the arrow" and works good for me who looks at a tape measure all day. Instead of 10 or 20 inches of gap at the target, I now see 1/4", 1/2", up to 1-1/4" gap right over the collar. So, my point on is 40 yards, at 35 yds. I have a sight picture with point 1/4" below, then 3/8" at 30 yds., 1/2" at 25 yds. etc. Shoot them all right down to 5 yards and get that sight picture burned into the ole brain. This also turns into instinctive gap pretty naturally. Big Kifaru fan here, thanks for all you do.

This is how I shoot my compound. 40 years w/o pins. Thanks for putting into words my thought process. Point on is 48-50 yards. I tried string walking. Works fine for targets. But sucks for hunting. If critter moves, sucks to try and move to correct strand.

I was just wondering about this earlier today! Awesome

This is how I do it too, I usually set my point on for 20/25 though thanks for putting this together ✌️

love see you shoot man ! you should pose your trainings more often is very motivating

Thanks for all the information. What bow are you using, I like the pattern on the limbs.

Dude I never thought about short stroking making the arrow longer. I knew knew short drawing would put less power into the arrow. But the addition of the lower hold from the longer arrow blew my mind hole. #tradongle

Love to see you shooting the trad bow! I’ve watched you shoot before, much better shot than me. I also shoot instinctively under 20 yards and gap for farther shots. Fortunately for me, I live in the east and am always shooting under 20. Lol

What if my gap is to the right? I'm sure it has something to do with the length of arrow, diameter of arrow and how close to center the shelf is cut....it would be easier if I had a 'point on situation'.

Deadly technique especially with a range finder

I wish someone would do a video on adjusting right and left. I have shot gap for years and tried many different things and if I put the tip below the target I am always left.

How do you determine what angle to hold your bow at, and how do you make that consistent?

So, the paper plate comes up again 😮! What size is that paper plate? Were there any Ruffles involved? Dude, I miss Patuto.

I "cheat" by marking a 20 yard and 10 yard mark on my riser. I dont compete so I really dont give a shit but its a system that has worked for me. More or less a 3 pin aiming system. I still have to put my arrow point on the initial spot then I adjust until the line is lined up and then I cut it from there. So for a 15 yard shot I am in between between the 20-10 yard mark. For anything closer I am close enough. Great video.

You must be shooting a higher poundage bow and lighter arrows 9.5 to 10 grains per pound with 3/8 ths nock height to get a point on of 38 yards? Thank you for the video and great info

For the algorithm 👍😉🏹🎯

You said dongle

Would like to see a video explaining gap vs fixed crawl. In what situation would one work best? Any opinion on string walking?

I guess you can shoot gap split finger as well but seems to take away the the whole romance out of instinctive shooting for me. I guess it’s like choosing wood over carbon or aluminum. Even though I shoot a laminated fiberglass longbow with wood arrows and split finger, I feel like I’m cheating myself on a important element of traditional archery and it’s simplicity of pointing and releasing and not thinking about distance. For hunting it’s quick and easy

Youre living the dream, i currently have a badass property and want to spend 5k on some 3d targets but the fucking cows destroy them

Trad Jesus is here to save me
