A brilliant video Jeff your tips have really transformed my archery i have been shooting for many years but sruggled with accuracy they say theres no silver bullet in archery but your last video is the exeption to that rule.you are a really are a talented guy with the ability to teach without ego. This is a genuine reply refering to Jeffs skills i live in Buckinghamhire in England and we do not have access to instructors like you Jeff to inprove our learning in instnctive archery. Keep up the good work i have yet to see archery instruction of this quality on You Tube.!

Jeff, thanks for all the advice. I'm converting from gap shooting to instinctive. I did OK shooting gap, but just couldn't break the habit of opening my left eye once I'd acquired my gap, just before release. That sounds idiotic, but I just couldn't bring myself to keep my left eye shut. It's like I needed to see that arrow go down range. So I'm working on instinctive and actually found I shoot better. It's still a matter of acquiring a sight picture for lack of a better way to put it, but I enjoy it more than gap shooting which should help that much more in getting my groups tighter. Thanks for all you do.

This is the way I shoot. 1st I adjust my elevation before I shoot using the tip of my arrow. When I start my draw I don’t look at my arrow tip again, I just keep my bow hand as still as possible and in my pre-drawn position( my pre determined elevation)

@instinctiveaddictionarcher89982 жыл бұрын
Thanks brother, the best I can answer is in a hunting situation there’s no telling how you might have to shoot at a deer especially from a tree stand lol so I practice shooting from every possible position just in case I have to make a shot but in a perfect world they’ll let you use the normal form and that’s usually not the case 🤣👍🏻

@corywiggins51462 жыл бұрын
( part 2) during my draw I am looking at what I want to hit not looking at the arrow tip at all. I am not sure if this is gap/ split vision or instinctive. It might even be a combination of the two. But I do know one thing if you follow your advise on form back tension, straight elbows, a smooth release release, and picking a spot your shots will group better. Plus you will be more accurate. Then repeat this over and over. Thanks for you advise keep the videos coming.
@instinctiveaddictionarcher89982 жыл бұрын
That’s definitely instinctive and I believe split vision can come way more into play when you’re shooting long distance because the arrow or the tip is pretty much blocking your spot at least around 45-50 yards in most cases especially with lighter poundage bows but if you can clearly focus on a spot and shoot it’s definitely instinctive 👍🏻

Hi Jeff, a real good instructional video. I've had a lay off from shooting due to a bug I picked up, felt weak and out of sorts. Anyway, I'm back to shooting again but my accuracy is just awful.

Well I actually get a little nose rub myself from time to time especially doing this lol but as far as arm contact no, all of our bows run close to if not an 8” brace height and just don’t do that also the way you cradle the grip makes a huge difference in that 👍🏻

Great question and the answer is no, only because the deer never seem to give me the chance lol I have to make the shot any way I can but it definitely helps standing on the ground or in a blind from a sitting position for sure thanks brother!

@instinctiveaddictionarcher89982 жыл бұрын
Well it all depends on the trajectory of the arrows, some setups still allow you to be looking at the spot while others especially lighter poundage bows will have it blocked out and in that case all you can do is shoot split vision and just practice knowing how high to elevate the arrow while still lining up the right and left and let it rip lol
