I love the setup on the back porch. So peaceful where you live. I think the quality of the bow has a lot to do with it. I bought a Samick Sage and built up my strength then bought a custom bow from P. A.W bowyers guild and it made a huge difference in my accuracy. I couldn't be happier. Awesome video and i look forward to seeing more. 👍

That’s some mighty good tip’s you’re sharing, especially the idea of the tip of the elbow at full draw to be like the rear sight of a rifle. That’s a new one for me and I like it, will put it into my very fast snap shooting shot sequence soon.

Easily one of the most instructive videos out! We all know how nuanced trad. archery can be for each individual, but I found the entire video impactful on how I can shoot better--without having to completely unlearn decades of instinct or muscle memory. On the other hand, all the wind and distance from the camera interfered with how well I heard the audio so may wanna consider getting a pop or wind filter; that's what comes to mind as a solution, but there could absolutely be some DIY alternatives available. Thanks for the content brother!

Interesting video, I'll give your technique a try. It certainly works for you - and take no notice of negative comments, it's certain that the vast majority of viewers appreciate your efforts!

Great info sir I'm going to try your technique thanks for sharing

Great job explaining your shooting style. Now comes the daily practice and lots of it! You'er a great bowman, thanks for sharing.

I just recently started getting into traditional archery and everything you have stated in this video are tips my brother told me and it helped me tremendously. It’s crazy how important keeping the elbow in line and aiming small is! Great video! My brother always says “if you aim small you’ll miss small”

Thank you very much! I have watched all your videos but finally, when I paid attention to your little words "aim small", that actually helped me to improve my shooting!

This was brilliant! I got my first bow set YESTERDAY and this advice is the best I've seen as a starting point for someone like me. 👍

Archery is like painting...those who are masters of the knowledge hide the key to the knowledge. You are not like this! You are a good person, thank you!🥰

Some really good insight. Thanks for taking the time to create and post the video.

Thanks for sharing your technique, keep it coming. And you are a fantastic shot.

Thanks. A straight up technique that’s repeatable by us humans! I, like you, mix in a great many techniques and I do gravitate toward the closer to the eye hold for 15 and in for squirrels n such.

Your setup is fantastic and I like your approach about the subject. Thank you very much for posting this video.

Thank you. Concise and informative. How knowledge should be conveyed. This has helped me a lot. All power to you. Best wishes from the UK.

Thank you for all the information, great video and shooting! I’ll try your technique to improve my shooting. So far traditional archery have been a very humbling experience for me😅

Good shooting bud. I started deer hunting in the mid 1980’s with a recurve and I know how challenging it was for me to be accurate. You make it look easy. I went to a compound in the 1990’s and switched to a recurve crossbow in 2010. I do have a tremendous amount of respect for traditional archers because I know the amount of discipline and practice it takes to be consistent. I should have stuck with traditional in the 80’s. There is just something magical about watching those arrows hit the mark without the use of sights. Great video and great shooting.

Thanks for posting this. Very helpful techniques. I will put them into practice next time out.

I found that sooo informative! Well done!!! I saved this to be called on later as needed too!

I am glad you are a humble man and thank you for communicating with your subscribers.

Your ramblings actually made sense to me, very helpful. Thanks.

Glad you left the comments open so I could thank you for this cool video. Feel like I could smell the fresh air and trees. Well, I'm just starting in archery at 60 and with my vision it is always instinctive shooting at best! Looking forward to checking out your content. 👍🎯

Very nice place. Good advice also.Thnxs

I always enjoy your videos, thank you.

hey...I have the same arrows. Great choice I'm going to try this method today. Thanks

Great form solid from start to finish. Couldn’t have explained or done it any better.

You must have been reading my mind as I was just about to ask you of your AMAZING shooting and what your technique was. GREAT, GREAT video! I hope to try some of your techniques to my shooting to see how it does. I have a bad shoulder so I'm ALWAYS looking for ways to help my shooting! THX AGAIN for this and ALL your other GREAT videos!! AIM SMALL!! 🏹🎈🎯

Thanks for sharing. Its good as a beginner to see all the different ways you can shoot.

Thanks for this. I'm new to archery and I'm struggling with aiming properly, this was an informative video for me. I'll put what you said to practice and see if it works for me.

Good tips actually. And after seeing you shoot I’m going to be trying a few of them! 🎯

Well done...you have your technic down and your explanations are spot on! Earned my sub! Great channel!

Great video, and I love ur definition of aim small, looks similar to my style, but I do see some differences that can help me get a tighter group. Good shooting

You are such a good teacher! 5:26

Great video, and informative.. I started archery 2 years ago using a recurve and carbon arrows , and have since moved to a Bodnik Flatbow and wooden arrows, and I'm hooked.. I love getting out in the forest shooting at 3d targets.... I'm constantly trying to improve my personal best score, but remembering to enjoy shooting and not be too hard on myself on bad shooting days.. Glad I found this video, well wishes from Ireland.

Thank you! I am adjusting to a longbow and just yesterday figured out the final "straight back" thing. The "elbow rear sight golf ball" analogy is something I never heard before, but will definitely try.

Yes, thank you. With every explanation, like this one, i learn something..

Thank you! The visual imagery you use is amazingly helpful.

Thank you very much👍 I just started my journey and you explained more in that video than I've been able to find on KZfaq over 4 months... Kudos sir 👍

Aim small miss small . Cool video brother I shoot 3 under but these tips are helpful . This winter I am going to spend time perfecting my form and work on consistency. All the best to you , I just found your channel !!

Excellent! Loved it!

Very nice of you to share this strategy. I can identify with so much of what you said. Everything in traditional archery seems to be some kind of compromise. My technique has evolved by sacrificing “perfect geometrical form” by raising the anchor point close to my eye. There are a few advantages for this especially when shooting from unorthodox positions. I like what you said about gleaning from other shooters. Heard the pail drop analogy before, but it is the first i heard about the golf ball follow through though. I love your videos, short and sweet.

Nice simplified version of a shot cycle, visualisation with uncomplicated thought process,I like it

Enjoyed your vidio great technical experience thanks for the tip I'll be practicing love shooting great 1st arrow

Very solid information and well presented .. Thank you very much. I AGREE on all points offered and you confirm where I am after many decades of shooting. Well done. From Kawartha Traditional Archery Center Ontario Canada Fred

That's an interesting perspective you have on how you aim with TRAD. Out of all the KZfaqrs I've watched with me picking up TRAD from Compound, your grouping right there is by far the tightest.

Thanks for video,I’m ready for a change in my shooting style,think I’ll try your’s

Great shooting, poor apple. Really liked the rifle sight comparison.

I haven’t started shooting yet. Next week will be my first time however, I will keep what you said in mind. It seems easy enough to remember. Thank you for your tips. You seem like a really cool, dude good looking out bro, and thanks for keeping the comments open.

Love it. The arrow as a rifle makes sense to me. Even tho I don't have a rifle lol.

Thanks for putting this together mate! Very interesting!

Well, at first, I was curious. So I took my recurve and just trying without shooting. Seems promising... thank you for sharing.

That was useful .. thank you dude and keep going

Skip right by those negative comments! My opinion is the only one that matters. That is some awesome shooting Homie!👍👍

Great video. Excellent form and shooting accuracy. I have recently dedicated to using the feather to the nose technique. When I am able to execute my shooting is much improved but I still sometimes can not draw completely to get the feather to touch and am essentially short drawing. I believe my problem is having too much focus on the target and not enough focus on completing the touch of the feather. I would be willing to bet if you are getting negative responses it is due to some jealousy and low self esteem on their part.

Nice video thanks for the tips

Thanks for taking the time to share you knowledge👍🏼

Great video man! It's always nice to see how other people shoot, it keeps it interesting and it shows that the science of archery is based on different perspectives.

'elbow as the back sight' - Nice - will give that a go! Thanks

Thanks for the explanation !

hi fella, now we are talking you made that perfectly clear, t hanku mike in the uk, ps im just starting ,about to do my beginners course .

Looks like you live in a great areas for it mate& I liked the video, screw the haters man

Nice video ... no comments other than that ... well ... maybe one more, thanks for sharing your ideas.

Appreciate the advice. You gotta be thick skinned to post on the internet. No matter how kind your trying to be and how much you explain something is "your" way and not necessarily the "correct " way your always gonna have the bitter angry keyboard warriors who feel like its theyre purpose on earth to point out what your doing wrong or how you stated something wrong etc. Roll with the punches my friend.

Looks great. Stay safe my friend. God bless you 🙏.

Thanks for your video - helpful!

Sounds like good stuff Obi-Wan!

So helpful! Thank you!

Great info thanks for sharing.

Great video.

Very insightful

Thank you for video!!!!

I like the laser analogy hehe... that makes sense to me in a weird way! Could you do a video specifically on your release? I am trying to figure out what is going on the moment I release. So much is happening at that point in the shot that my mind sort of blanks out from too much input and I don't have control over my release hand. I would love to hear your take on this part of the shot cycle.

Thank you , helped me. !!

great...i'm going to try it.

Very informative. Thank you!

That was helpful, thanks for the explanation.

Don't worry about jerks leaving nasty comments, your video is full of good advice and any real archer knows that.

I like the albow and tip advice

I teach archery. That is really similar the way I teach. We tried to shoot about a 100 to a 150 arrows A-day. It's a lot of fun and good practice Good job again

I don’t care what anyone else says but I think this video was inspired by my comment in one of your videos the other day about how it takes me 3 shots before I hit my target and it only takes you one shot. Just kidding but this is an awesome video and thank you for showing us. I string walk with my finger compounds and I don’t really have an issue with those divisions but my trad recurve isn’t great.

Good illustration! Thanks

Danke für die sympathische Erklärung. Aim small!👍

Nice range! I like it... 😀😀

Thanks ! Good explanation

Good job 👏 thanks

Thanks for sharing

This looks like a really natural tehnique for our physique, I will try it out when I get the chance. I am uncomfortable with the stance that was taught at the range, I'm not saying the perfect T pose with a perfectly vertical bow is a bad technique but my wrists and shoulder scream in agony after 15 minutes of shooting, let alone after a 2 hour session

Great technique! 👍🏹

Fantastic shooting man

i think i learned a lot from that thank you very much

Great shooting! And remember this one: Illegitimati non carborundum (Don’t let the bastards wear you down lol, just smile and go on.)

Excellent!

Good stuff!!

Good explanation.

I'll give it a try. ty MH

Thank you for being a user of the closed stance 😊. It seems the open type stance is what most folk use or are taught. If I use open stance i cant line up in the target and if i try instinctive with it im missing a mile to the left and low, so closed stance for me, in fact ive almost got my back to the target 😄.

I go back to the Ear front of canal cartilage with top finger to my set point on release and I use a modified Howard Hill/Split Vision though more with the object blurry then the arrow as if the arrow is blurry then I get odd eye pain, sometimes in worst case head pains when aiming. Other thing with this is I can focus on the object I am trying to hit more with the arrow not blurry as the arrow also likes to go double in my vison when I let it go blurry as close items to my face tend to do when not in focus due to going cross eye when trying to focus outside the closer object. Then other times I have to have both in almost focus, mini blur to both if I am really struggling to hit the object on those days or having eye pains with either object or arrow being blurry. There are also some rare days the arrow needs to be blurry to shoot but those are often due to a rare thing if the target is going double vison more then the close object when they are blurry. Edits: I forgot to mention I am split finger so only the top finger above arrow is touching the spot. I am using glove though the almost string type unless I am using a set of all leather gardening/work gloves with the smoother fingers to them, both in the pair for winter.

awesome

I enjoy watching you shoot traditional archery. I wish I still could shoot.😢Why don’t you do a hunting video taking a whitetail. Keep up the shooting my friend.

Nice shootin'!
