My technique is to buy all of the bows because they are cool and I like the and you can't stop me its my money I can do what I want leaveme alone! .... I think I have a problem

Ok Jeff, outstanding info on long bows. You gave me enough insight on where to start. God bless you, and keep'em flying. 🙏

i first shot a bow when i was 6 years old , never shot anything other than one piece recurve , i am now 62 years old , and have learnt more in the last few years listening to Jeff my Archery has come on so much thank you Jeff you are manor from Heaven

Jeff you need to come out with your own line of bows, hats, and shirts. Dude, we have become better and more informed because of what you’re doing. Just imagine a cap with a bow and instinctive archery logo.

Jeff you are so right with draw weight for a trad bow . Years ago I used to shoot 80lb compounds, so I figured 65lb trad bow would work, as you could imagine, ended up way too heavy to shoot with any pleasure. Since then I’ve collected more trad bows than I care to admit, looking for that magic one, but all have a 53-54lb draw weight at 27”. Another thing most new trad archers don’t realize is their draw length can shrink close to 2” from a release to shooting with fingers. The best thing for guys to do is try to actually draw or shoot different bows to see which grip they like the best. That’s why the metal riser ilf bows, seem to be the best choice, you can adjust draw weight, tiller style, grip angle, center shot, put on different limbs, and usually can use a variation on differently spined arrows. Thanks for all you share here, it really helps the new guys! Bob

I have so much to learn! Thanks for the video.

Great video! Great channel!! I’ve worked full time in an archery shop for 16 years and have dabbled back and forth with traditional archery. Love seeing people with the knowledge and who are willing to share!!! Thanks Jeff, much appreciate your videos 👍🏻👍🏻

This was very interesting and informative. Good Stuff! I'm in the market for a new bow and this was very helpful.

Great course Professor Jeff, if you didn't learn anything today, then you must of been snoozing. Great presentation and examples. Have a great day Jeff 😁

cant wait for those hermits to be back in stock! i will definitely be getting a multitude of bow...long bow, one piece recurves, ilf's, the works haha. id like to have one of all of them in the traditional category and ill even be getting a sanlida dragon x8 compound for 200 just to have one. the only thing better than having one bow you absolutely love is having 4 or 5 bows you love haha. happy shooting gents and God bless ya

Thanks for a awesome video Jeff

those 3carbon nyx bows are nice. i like the look of those oberons though haha. beautiful bows

Now this, was an absolutely excellent video!!

I really enjoyed this video Jeff. Very informative. Thank you.

This very question right here is the reason I always suggest to people ILF because with ILF you do not have to make cemented decision. You can always get ILF super long limbs in convert your riser into a bow

Great video, Jeff! I wish I had seen a video like this before when I started shooting many moons ago. I'm 6'4", 29.5 in draw, and have pretty much always shot a 58" bow. Now I'm shooting 30# bows instead of 40#+ and at 62' / 68" depending on the bow. Probably one of my favorite shooters is my Sage, which is now a 62" thanks to a limb swap. Easier to shoot and my accuracy has improved with the changes to my bows.

I have one of the Sanlida royal X8’s and it’s 5/8’s positive tiller and I’ve settled on 3 under with a one inch fixed crawl. I tried shooting split finger and can’t get it to hit the target🥲. Got it shooting pretty good but know it’s not optimal. I’m shooting 530gr arrows with 250gr up front. It shoots 300gr up front good too. Just know it’s not optimal.

I bought the Sanlida longbow and I boxed it up a shipped it back without ever shooting an arrow through it. I assumed that at 68”, it would be smooth as butter no matter how far I drew it back, but this thing seemed to hit a wall even before it got to 28, and I didn’t even want to draw it to my 29.5. I wasn’t worried it would break, it just wasn’t the smooth long draw I wanted.

Jeff, great video! Do you know if Sanlida is going to make any of their trad models in left hand?

I own the royal x8, and the only thing i dont like about the bow is the grip. I have big hands, and it likes to torque. it's too narrow for my liking. I'm thinking im going to go ILF, so i have the option to swap grips and adjust tiller. I shoot my royal x8 3 under, and I've got it dead quiet, but it took some effort to get it there.

Hello Sir, I would like to know your opinion on a snap-shot bow for the extra heavy bowfishing arrows. I bowfish with the Bear Montana longbow, but I find it a bit too long to shoot from my kayak. Do you have any insight on a better grip style, kind of bow, etc... that is best for spur-of the -moment shots that is required for heavy bowfishing arrows? I guess what i am asking is a flatter grip more suited to a faster set-release loose than a molded grip?

Just realized that I have $5000 in bows that don’t fit me… 🥺😔

I have a Mesa 60” hybrid longbow I like

Jeff, For 3 under should your nocking point be higher or lower verses split finger nock location? Great video! Hope you can help me. Thanks Leon

Jeff which ILF bow were you shooting in this video? Thanks, Ron

13:03 woah, I thought the volume went down on YT, couldn't hear a thing. Just wow.

Great video Jeff. I have a few questions about shooting 3 under. 1. Is it hard/damaging on the bow? 2. Would an elevated rest help the tiller problems a little bit? 3. What if you swapped the top and bottom limbs to change the tiller? Would this help at all? Thanks so much for your help and videos ❤

Would you say it’s safe to buy the hermit recurve off of Amazon???

Short bow more useful and practice.

Where did you find the extra limbs for the Sanlidha x10?

Jeff, after watching your videos i feel like i might be shooting too light of an arrow. 500 spine, like 276 grains or something like that. Should i goto a 400 spine arrow? I have a bunch of trad bows and im not going to custom make arrows for each bow. Thoughts?

I have a 32” draw and I HATE IT! I just want all the bows but they’re not suitable😢

Can you help me? I’m shooting at hoyt satori, 26 inch draw at 45 pounds. No matter where my nock point is I get a nock height bareshaft. Tried 500 spine full lenght , 400 spine several different tip weights. Tiller is even, I shoot 3 under

How would you compare the NYX to the Bear Grizzly bow for hunting

In general… do you think a bow that’s tillered dead even will have a little lower nock point than something tillered 1/8 or so positive???

Jeff - I know this has nothing to do with this video, but you need to address what's happening with Sanlida Archery. Both 'Nusensei' and 'Jake Kaminski' on KZfaq, have just put out videos regarding their terrible and predatory business model. It was so bad for Jake that he has asked everybody to boycott their company. I know this is not your fault Jeff and you are very genuine and creditable. However, because you have loudly and happily endorsed their company and products, I am concerned that this does now not look good for your image. You really need to make a comment on your take on all of this and hopefully disendorse them as well. I personally was trying to track down one of their bows from Australia, so I could get one, but now I certainly will not be.

Quick question: How are some people having point on at 30-40yds and I'm barely hitting 20. Just curious. My setup is Omega longbow #50, draw length 27.5, arrow length 28, 400 spine, total arrow weight 550. Thanks
