Of these I wish I knew when starting out the arrow thing, I was using similar arrows in spine and weight, but they were different each time in that one set was skinnier then the other that was wood, and another was Fiberglass. Also do not assume if you have a few same weight bows or very similar weight bows with in 1--2 pounds from each other that they will be using the same arrows sure you can try the arrows you have as a cheap reference to see if they will work with the bow but not always is this the case that the arrows will work.

Biggest thing with archery, just have fun. That's what matters in the end.

If you are losing arrows move closer to your target. Someday you will be shooting at longer distances, but you will get a lot more practice in if you are shooting instead of hunting for arrows. If you consistently only use the middle 1/4th of the target, move back a step or two.

I do archery since 1985 and "bravo", your teaching here is real. 100% right.

[BenjaminHodgens]

As a martial artist i love thst you address form not really mattering. This seems to be something people finally get when they become proficient in a physical art. Everyone’s physique is different and they will move differently as a result. Different weaknesses and different stengths.

I finally figured why I can't hit a target with an arrow. . . I don't have a bow. :P

I have never in my life seen better advice on this subject.

[mattedwards]

I am long in the tooth and no longer shoot my bows but I still like to read and look at videos of other archers. You mentioned more in such a short time that touched on important things to do to get accurate with a bow. I must be a slow learner as I shot 55 and 60 LB bows when I should have dropped down in weight to shoot tournaments. I would have done even better than I did . I wasn't a bad shooter but I never thought I was as good as I could be even though I won many tournaments . I won every kind of tournaments from club shoots to a state championship .It was the only state shoot I partisipated in. People that want to be a good shooter should heed your advice. Consistency is the answer as you eluded to .I no longer shoot my bows . I can't even pull them to full draw anymore. I look at my recurves and long bows and drift off to yesteryears when I was in my prime. You are a rare commodity that being you know what you are talking about. Thanks for the video!

I figured all that out over 15 years ago. Best lecture/demonstration I ever saw and heard. Shoot Three Fingers Under!

Great advice!! Even if you're seasoned, it's good to be reminded of these little things. I stopped bow hunting in 2005. I started back in 2022. It was tough, because after 2 shoulder surgeries and 1 hand surgery, the form I was once comfortable with, was no longer comfortable to me. It was like starting from scratch. Now what may look awkward is my most consistent form. Harvested a 10pt this year. Everything you talked about, I had to implement. Shooting at smaller circles inside the circle, consistent draw and release point. Even body posture. Thanks for sharing!! I'm going to let my daughter watch this so she can see, it's not just me saying these little gems. LOL

I love the total lack of gatekeeping on this channel.

A little tip for getting more consistent at aiming, take a paper cup and pin it to your target, back off to 5 yards, and take 3-5 shots at a time until you can place all 3-5 arrows in the cup... Back off another 5 yards and do the same thing, rinse, lather and repeat

[seewaage]

I'm glad you said this about consistency. I weighed my arrows and stopped shooting the outliers. I also didn't worry about the "perfect" release, just a consistent release. It tightened up my groups a lot. Thanks!

[Fitandover]

6:10 this is great advice. Clear minded advice. We forget that men have been using bows and arrows for a loong time and none of the modern "techniques" nor equipment was around back then and they were and are extremely efficient when hunting and are very accurate.

[finnishfatman]

One thing that I've found (and this is just my personal view) that helps me shoot better at shorter distances (below 30 meters, which are realistic hunting distances) is to sometimes just shoot longer distances without too much worrying. Up to a 100 meters is fun and once you start grouping below 10 centimeter groups, you're relaxed enough. After long distance shooting sessions shorter distances feel much more "trivial".

I shoot mainly compound bows by the way.

[rickchollett]

"Be consistent" is exactly what I tell people when firing a rifle also. I need to pull out my bow and dedicate some time everyday to practice.

[RT-wqbd]

You covered more topucs in less time than most. Plus your information was easy to understand. Excellent video!

[seanbyham]

The shout out to Jake kaminsky and Tom clum made me lol. It’s true! Those guys are great, but you are also correct about consistency even if it’s bad form can bring pretty good accuracy. Great form with consistency is key to be very good, but for most it’s just about having fun.

[michaelwehrli]

OK so I'm new to archery about 8 months in and my shooting from 20 yards out I've been all over the place. I watched this video and instantly was grouping. Thanks man.

[johnvanboolen]

Great, no nonsense fast moving. Thank you.
