Easy way to AIM you Traditional Bow

Спорт

This is my way to aim my traditional recurve bows. I've tried many ways but this has offered me the most consistency.
However, if your form isn't consistent, working on your aiming technique (no matter what method) will be frustrating.
Spend the time on form. Practice, practice practice.

    LOVE the tutorial video: there can NEVER be enough "How I Practice" videos, because EVERY single archer can find themselves sharing what might be a simple, tiny "insight" to them, but may be JUST "the thing" another archer has been seeking to help perfect their own shooting. For those of you who are open to exploring additional tips & techniques to possibly incorporate into your own shooting methods & styles, I humbly offer this: COMBINE: String Walking with FINGER WIDTHS (whole, half, quarter, eighth) for PRECISE ARROW ELEVATION SETTING from the REAR of the bow AND Anchoring UNDER the chin for DRAMATICALLY increased ARROW RANGE even out to 120 yds AND sighting down the left string edge as a "rear sight" for COMPOUND-like ACCURACY AND using the ARROW TIP as a "front pin" again for COMPOUND-like ACCURACY ... and TOGETHER you have a FORMIDABLE SHOOTING METHOD which eliminates the weaknesses in many popular barebow shooting methods, but which even newbies and experienced archers can learn in 5 minutes... Here's a video of me using this method to shoot an ordinary hunting recurve bow and common $6 hunting arrows at 100 YDS, and hitting 5 of 6 ON-TARGET even in a cross wind ! IMAGINE how accurate YOU can instantly become at distances from 10m to 50m to 70m and everything in between! kzread.info/dash/bejne/daJkydqHlbevhLQ.html Again, changes aren't for everyone, but for archers looking to improve their long-distance range and accuracy, this method might be something you'll find interesting. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS !

    Boy that was a long way of saying something simple and what all people will figure out easily anyway. Wish more people were intelligent enough to figure this out. If a person cant figure out the basics , they never will. So start with the next step up and save us the terror of the DUMBASS low IQ people. Or label your videoes as children education.

    I had my riser refinished. It was snow white. So it was really good color to learn with. I did exactly what you had done here. I grabbed a sharpie and put a tiny dot and till i found the sweet spot then i put a line as you did. Really helped me alot on learning how to aim. Once i used this method a few months i then found myself looking at the lines less and less. Good informative video. 👍👍

    To note for a lot of people, the weight of the arrow and draw weight of the bow makes a big difference. The trajectory from a 30lb bow would be drastically different then say a 50 lb bow. So stick with one setup would be best

    You mentioned, "lack of ability" and this is the number one reason some people can't shoot well. The ability to match and set up your bow is important but if you can't shoot you can't set up your bow? Now you have to try different things to obtain good shooting to find out what works for you.It is rare to find two people the same. There are little nuances each have that determines what will work for them.This takes time to figure out. Whether you use a deep hook or a shallow hook will require different spined arrows all other things being equal.This one, small and over looked difference has caused many to quit archery.There is no inaccurate bow just inaccurate shooters.The right arrow ,shot from any bow will shoot well in the hands of a true archer.

    This may not work for everyone. This is how I started shooting and my progress completely halted until I learned to shoot by using the arrow as a reference instead. It completely messes up your horizontal plane on your shots which is the most important. When you gap shoot off the arrow it lets you know if you're plucking the string or collapsing so you know if you hit left/right.

    I feel like newer archers can be misled into thinking that instinctive means that their brain will automatically and without conscious effort, find the target. It takes so much experience to shoot without conscious aim. Really it comes down to muscle memory and ton of practice at different distances. For me, it's just a wording thing and I don't really like that term.
