brilliant!! LMAO!

😂

I errr.... This is sarcasm right??? Right!!???

Fan Fucc N Tastic!

Now that was funny...

🤣🤣 I've been asked at the airport "does it have explosive tips?"

@Ali Akbar or just watched Rambo...

These guys have actually had a few beginner lessons, and so they know the basics of not dry firing etc. 👍 They're not just straight off the street 😬

I thought the same thing. Been shooting for years and I don't draw my bow without an arrow, ever.

@@RogueArcheryTV good for you; however accidents still happen; I never let anyone draw my bow without an arrow nocked. I cringe everytime a bow gets drawn without an arrow nocked. You must not be too worried and money must not be a problem, but when I have $1300 USD tied up in just my compound rig.... Well yeah, you get my point.

You don't shatter limbs with a recurve when dry firing like a compound!!

Worked at a scout camp as an archery director. Can verify the scariest age group to let shoot bows are kids between the ages of 6-10. Unless they're being purposefully delinquent though it's pretty safe.

Dont give up if you enjoy it !! There are people with no arms still able to do archery. Have a search for disabled archery on KZfaq

@@Laser2120 Yea Check out Matt The Armless Archer. and there was a guy who shot with one arm a few days ago.

Para Archery could be the way to go to continue your passion.

I’m sorry for that.

You're not alone MANY of us did the same, if you really want to get good then (providing its a take down) grabs some new limbs & drop to a lower weight to get form right then build up from there. When you really get into the form work (and eventually every shot) it feels like meditation!

I bought a 25 pound compound bow and yeah I'm glad I did.

Get a gun

@@punishthewicked5845 why on earth would you want a gun competing in archery? Honestly an inane comment comment at best. To the OP. I can attest we've all been there. Joined my college Archery club and bought a 40lb Samick Agulla only to realize full draw was an issue :'D It's a wonderful sport that teaches discipline and focus. 2 important life skills

It's funny, about half the comments on this video are of archers having a bit of a freak out about dry-firing 😂 It turns out, that with some basic instruction, and a bit of practice on beginner bows, even rookies are capable of not dry-firing haha. To this day, the only person who's dry-fired my bow is... me 😬

@@RogueArcheryTV I was really impressed none of them dry fired the bow. Did you warn them before hand?

@@2SLipo he said "with some basic instructions.." , so pretty sure he did.

If you look back at early 1900s Olympic Archery then longbows were exactly what everyone used. Maybe it could be introduced as an exhibition discipline one year.

A bendy stick is all you need

I do instinctive archery with asiatic bow and it took me two months to get consistent grouping @15m. I guess sights help a lot. And I still couldn't imagine doing that @50m with Turkish archery tourneys.

Thanks Jennifer! This was a fun one 😀

Exactly! Ofcourse, archery is not an academic exercise, so all of the training is about making sure that THE BODY knows what to do 💪🏹🎯🔥

I went to a pub after buying a used ultratech @70lbs, this new fangled bow turned some heads & then the "oh it must be so easy now blah blah" started so I got the bigger guys to attempt to draw it, hilarity ensued :)

@@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347 you should've filmed it, that could make a good KZfaq video! Maybe I'll take my bow to the pub next... "Regular (drunk) people try Olympic archery"

When I first started, I had issues using a 40lb bow, after I got better form and technique, and with a bit of practice, I shoot 62lbs all day.

I know what you mean. im not that strong but my friend let me try his bow one time. I dont know why but he has a 60lb draw and I can only do it once. and yes I hit the target dead center but was not able to pull it again

100% 💪🏹🎯🔥 Couldn't agree more

You should get back into it!

💪🏹🎯🔥

Thanks! Archery is an amazing sport, you won't be dissapointed.

sure did

Cool story bro

there is a category named barebow that is exactly what you're saying, but there's not an event in the olympics just as compounds but in the olympics there's no rule that won't let you shoot if ur bow doesn't have gadgets but you will be in disadvantege

I'd love to see it but where to draw the line? Single Yew, no laminates. Organic strings only? Wood arrows only? can I use plastic nocks or only woodcuts? And if you do get everyone to agree to whatever the rules are how much of the sport just becomes a lottery on tight wood tolerances and correct humidity on the day you shoot?

Eh.... using one of these effectively does take years and years of practice.

Bare bow is always fun. if you want even more of a challenge try making your own out of a wood stave. thats even more challenging.

@@jonah214 now that you mention it I just watched a video on just that earlier. Made a legit hunting bow in 24 hours out of a tree. Maybe one day I'll try.

@@jonah214 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJ95a8aG2rjVfYU.html

Amazing! This was obviously a fun video but actually, almost all of the technique drills and training we do is learned and implemented on low poundage first, so the 25# is more than enough to develop those skills! It goes in this order: Technique >>> Training volume >>> Bow poundage Once you have good technique structure, it's a relatively simple process to incrementally increase shooting poundage :) If you're looking for more coaching scenarios and instructionals, you should also check out my new course: archerymasterclass.com/p/technique-fundamentals-for-recurve-archery

Absolutely! The top archers are seriously impressive, and it's hard to comprehend the level of skill required to shoot at that level.

It's always fun to see how different kinds of archers diss on eachother in a friendly way. Like how compound archers laugh at traditional archers for not being able to hit the side of a barn, or traditional archers joking about how olympic recurve archers won't be able to do anyting without having installed the 5G antenna on their plastic toy-bows. As long as we and our organisations treat every diciline as equally valid, we will have a great time with eachother in this great and ancient sport!

@@tatumergo3931 read my comment about very slowly

I wana see recurve archers draw a 130 pound warbow. >:3

It's easy! Just like running 100m in 10s, or returning a serve from Roger Federer.... It looks easy on TV!

There is so much gear on the market now that is great value. 10 years ago there were only 2 or 3 brands with quality gear, but now there is probably over a dozen! I wouldn't recommend any particular brand to you, but I do have a video on my channel about ordering your 1st bow, where we go through a complete shopping list. That might help. Ofcourse, you should make sure you know your specifications and measurements, so hopefully you're part of a club or have a coach who can help you 👍

If you have a club you shoot with (or who are simply nearby) try talking to them, they might have some good recommendations.

I can’t see holding for a full minute, that seems like silly posturing for others. If the shot doesn’t present itself in 10-15 seconds at most, you set too soon and should relax. If you can hold for a full minute without any shaking, that means you could probably move up in weight to get a flatter shot with more energy on the animal.

That's probably not my jam, but I think my good mate @NUSensei has the channel you're looking for 👍

Absolutely, this was done for a bit of fun with these beginners. They were all part of our Beginner League, and shoot much lighter bows (16-20#).

Even by removing sights people will still eventually still get to the level of shooting only 10s, I agree with you though I hate shooting at tournaments where a nine or an eight makes you loose

That would be barebow archery..

Getting a 10 based more on statistical luck because your spread is larger is less impressive....

Take a look at traditional Japanese archery with full ritual.

Even with english longbow all I want is 10's 😅

Great question! Thanks for asking. Firing a bow without an arrow is called a 'dry fire'. It's a problem because all of the energy that would be transferred into the arrow is instead transferred back into the bow. This is a large amount of dynamic force, and it can lead to some spectacular bow explosions / failures, and is absolutely not good for the bow. It's important that beginners understand not to release the string unless there is an arrow. Due to this, some instructors say that you should never EVER draw a bow back without an arrow, and with a compound bow that can be accidentally set off with a touch of the trigger, this is probably a sensible policy. However, drawing without an arrow and learning the correct position is the most effective way to get beginners to correct basic technical errors, and we can make corrections to their posture, position and anchor without them releasing the string. As such, we teach beginners how to draw correctly, without dry-firing. After doing this with over 3,000 beginners, I feel qualified to say that as long as they understand what to do and why, this is not a problem. Off screen, all of the archers in this video have actually done 3 weeks of beginners lessons, so they have been well briefed on safety, and understand not to dry-fire the bow, so this was not even a problem. They had also demonstrated basic competence with a 20# beginner bow before being handed the heavy artillery 👍

@@RogueArcheryTV Thanks for the detailed answer. I am going to get the old bow out and definitely won't dry fire it.

Bohot hard hai..sirf dikhta easy hai

Awesome stuff Jin! Actually all archery styles require angular movements, that's how joints work! As for what I teach, you should check out my Coaching Case Study videos, and I now have my full coaching curriculum over at archerymasterclass.com ~ you can check out some of the modules for free 😀 As for moving up in poundage, yes I have lots of tips! 1. At 14 years old, you only have to shoot 60m as your furthers distance in competition, is that correct? So 36# would be more than enough, even if you're shooting very high scores. 2. I don't have a problem with people moving up in poundage, BUT, it should never compromise good technique fundamentals. 3. I have a Bow Fitness Test that I use to screen archers to see if they are ready for moving up in draw weight. I plan to do a video on it, but here is a link to the instructions: www.roguearchery.com.au/single-post/2018/02/18/the-green-light-system-for-increasing-bow-poundage Give it a crack, and let me know how you go! 💪🏹🎯🔥

@@RogueArcheryTV Thanks!

8:00 👍 This bow is about 48#

💗

Very common here in finland. Lot of bow hunters here who practice olympic archery. But for hunting they grab a compound of course. And hunting bows have camo that is not allowed in normal archery. For some weird reason 😅

If you're shooting that well, then absolutely go for it! The pathway is different depending on your country, you should contact your WA affiliated archery NSO.

@@RogueArcheryTV ok ill see if they have something like that here . thanks

This is about 48# ~ not for the feint hearted! The archers here have actually had a few beginner lessons, and were well briefed about dry-firing!

I'm now play this but change by step from 22 to 32 and now 42 lbs

Where do you live?

@@RogueArcheryTV I'm really all about security so I'll name a town close to me. Richlands, North Carolina

"A wild NUSensei appeared!" 🤣 Yea turns out he's a great bloke and was very accommodating in providing some trad recurve footage 👍

Looks more domestic for me🤣

Definately. You're not allowed any form of release aid, electronic devices or aids, a bubble on the sight, any aiming reference on the string such as a peep sight and also sight magnification is illegal.

Why is that do you think?

@@RogueArcheryTV it all started when I was playing The Legend of Zelda: BOTW. I’d like a bow but I also get obsessed about things and when I buy the things I’m obsessed with I get over it and I’m left handed so I have to really go out of my way for things

@@IskateUphill I know exactly what you're talking about. I have an archery school where we coach about 120 people each week, and you're not alone in this! I recon you should still give it a go. Archery is a sport that requires patience, discipline, and consistency. By channeling your interest into something like that, perhaps it could help you learn to be a little less obsessive and more sustainable with the things you enjoy! 💪🏹🎯🔥

Young Jack actually won our last round of the Beginner Archery League, so yea he's got some skills!

​@@RogueArcheryTV yo, how many pounds your draw weight on your bow and what is the total length of the bow by inches? 😊

@@edcillchristiandikit5515 48#, 70" 💪💪🏹🎯🔥

Hi Fabian, Archers can usually start from around 10 years old, and there is no upper limit! Unlike sports like gymnastics, where you've passed your prime by the time you're 23, archery has a lot of longevity. Michelle Frangilli won gold in London at 42 (I think). There are others competing at Tokyo as well who are certainly in their 40s 👍 We're in Brisbane as well, so if you're looking at starting, feel free to give me a call and I can point you in the right direction.

Also competing in Tokyo, Evalgelia Psarra was 47, and Slawomir Naploszek was 52!
