Archery: How To Aim Using the Gap Shooting Method

Check out all my favorite archery equipment at my storefront for beginner archers on Amazon:

Join Coach Tara as she explains the Gap Shooting Method. Tara goes over why she prefers using this method when teaching beginners how to shoot. There are several styles of aiming when shooting the bare bow (instinctive, gap, string walking, and face walking).

Of all the YT archery coaches I have discovered so far, you are the best. Focused, well explained (in a pleasant neutral sympathetic manner), no time wasted.
Cool. ✌🏻🥳

Hi Tara, just want to tell you that you're my savior. I'm a beginner in archery with only 3 days of practicing barebow. I was having hard times grouping my arrows by using stringwalking. But then I tried your method here, and got 4/6 on the yellow from 12m of distance. Thank you very much!

Hello Tara, Really thankful to have found your videos, its been a while now since I last practiced and, of course, have forgotten a lot and developed some bad habits which all combined for some really inconsistent shooting and v frustrating practice!! You explain everything so clearly and I can now look forward to ironing out those creases! Thank you 🙏

i started with gap shooting and since moved to string crawling but im glad i started with gap, it definitely helps. i even may incorporate gap into my string crawling

Hi Tara, thanks for your great archery videos. Your explanation of gap shooting really helped me. Perhaps you could do one on the string walking method as well sometime. I'm still trying to decide which technique to use for bare bow. Paul.

Thank Yoy for the advise. It`s working perfect.

I started off with gap shooting, but I've been introduced to the dark art of string walking! I get better results with that. But for beginners I would recommend gap shooting.

Thanks to your tips and my several years as a top shooter with a catapult, some of the tips are the same, example having an anchor point being one, I had a weekend away and archery was an activety I booked, we only had 10 shots total I had never tried archery before and completed the robin hood challenge, I hit two bulls eyes and shot the apple in the centre that was standing on top of the target, so hoping to do this again in september as I have booked it again but at a different warners hotel, also going to give axe throwing a go cant wait.😅

Great video I fully understand what you are saying, I could strike a match at 20 meters after having made some adjustments ie I am a lefthander the further back you went the aiming point was to the left and up by several inches, its an impressive shot as you are making fire.

Seems to be similar to how I started: I aimed and judged how much the arrow would drop at a given distance. Same as shooting a rifle. Coach Tara has some good advice. Will be back.

i gotta try this at my saturday practice i hope it works

When I took a shot at a target from 54 yards, I almost needed to shoot volley. When the arrow curves in the air, even small adjustments can make big difference where it will land.
