I picked up my first compound bow just a year ago - a 400 dollar PSE starter bow. I found John through Joe Rogan, as so many others, and I went through his beginners classes youtube videos, over and over and over. He taught me how to adjust my draw length, draw weight and scope. Today, I confidently land 90 % of all arrows within a 10 inch diameter, at 30+ yards, with just basic beginners equipment at hand. I never had a coach. I never went to a club. I never had any help outside of John Dudley. I hope he knows how much he helps people all around the world. Much much appreciated🙏 /from Sweden

I'm not the best, but I remember my dad watching me shoot and hit targets at distance with my recurve and he said, "Well, at least I know you won't go hungry." It is a good feeling.

Sounds dumb but I have a pretty bad addiction to weed. Started in highschool been graduated 2 years now and havent missed a day of getting high. Currently attempting to stop and this was one of the hobbies my dad mentioned I pick up. I've always thought bows were dope and preferred them to guns but just never got my own. Awesome to hear you got sober and are having fun with archery!

Dudley is a great seller. You don't even notice the ads when watching his content. Amazing in my point of view. In addition, he managed to resell the Carter Evolution release as a new release by cutting of the third finger. Brilliant! That's innovation at it's best. He is a true selling legend.

I’ve been shooting a bow for little over ten years and I have learned more from him in this past 2 years from listening to him, than I have in the entirety of my archery lifestyle. Thank you John Dudley! 🤘🏼 Nock On

You learnt more in 20% of your short time shooting a bow than you did in the 80%? And you attribute it to listening to podcasts? Could it not be the 80/20 rule?

I have a Mathews Conquest signed by John from years ago when we visited the Mathews plant. He was my favorite archer.

Dudley has taught me so much! very glad he gives so much free info!

I remember when I was young they taught archery in junior high with a fiberglass long bow with a plastic handle. That was 58 years ago. I got pretty good with it and dad bought me my first and only recurve Fred Bear bow, 32 lb draw weight. I must have shot a hundred arrows a day. One day dad brought home a bow for him. It was a 48 lb draw weight Fred Bear recurve. He would come home from work and shoot 1 arrow, then put his bow up. Every day he did the same thing. One day I asked him why he only shot 1 arrow. He told me you only get one shot, it has to be right. We hunted with bows before it got popular in the mid 80’s. Loved hunting with my dad. I know how this guy feels!

I had no one to ask when i started but i learned the most of it from Mr Dudley´s videos

Dudley is amazing. And to think he teaches so much for free on KZread and other social platforms. Great dude, hope to meet him someday and just shake his hand.

John Dudley is an icon in archery. There is no one that shows more, in detail, step by step, on how to become a better archer.

First you rock, then you rock hard, then you rock on. And on. That’s John Dudley. A man of complex simplicity. Rock on, brother, rock on. 🤘

Great video. I am trying to learn to shoot a bow and don’t know where I would be without Dudley’s willingness to share information and educate newbies like myself.

To echo's Rogan's sentiment in this video, Dudley is undoubtedly the most influential figure in modern archery. Fundamentals and tactics used to be debated or kept secret. Dudley has put his experience out there for the world to learn from and it' had the direct effect of doubling and even tripling the effective range of the average archer who puts these teachings to work.

I dig it when people figure things out 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

John dudley is the man. I love his story. And his dedication to archery and bowhunting. He'll always be a legend to me.

Awesome video, I do credit John Dudley and his videos for being a large factor in my becoming a better archer and bowhunter. I also switched to back tension shooting while hunting, and have never been soo accurate as I have this season. I have been bowhunting for about 10 years

Iowa boy my self, great video. He has a tru calling and inspires the people that are willing to learn Thanks

I watched a lot of John's videos and him talking about using a handheld release gave me the confidence to try it. I shoot a three finger release and killed my biggest buck ever about a month ago. Really made me a more accurate shooter

Thanks JD, for sharing your knowledge. an instruction on the proper way of Shooting a compound bow! That's also all the other fine info on arrows an so forth with the equipment that go's with it. Rock On! GOD Bless you an familia.

I have learn so much from watching his videos. Thank you John Dudley

Absolutely awesome documentary. I am new to Bow hunting. Loving and learning so much. I can't wait for the rain to stop to do more practice.

Man a love America. Love from Scotland

Learned almost everything I know from watching John's KZread videos

My guy was always Tred Barta. I just knew he was going to die hunting then he had that spinal stroke. Sad. He's an amazing archer.

Cant watch this enough. Gotta love john.

It's videos like these is why I don't bother anymore watching broadcast TV (except for NFL/NBA and Naked&Afraid) and what not I'll tell you what. Love the energy, innovation and culture of modern archery and hunting!!

Learned everything from Duds podcasts and videos!!

It appears that he is as revered in archery world as Jerry Miculek is in the shooting one. Awesome people, both of them.

Watching Johns videos has given me a passion for a new hobby and a way to better connect with my sons

Absolutely amazing archer! I love watching and learning from John's videos being fairly recently reintroduced to bow shooting.

Dudley saved me years off the learning curve.I will always be greatful.

Hill, Pearson, Bear, Adams, Dougherty, Foulkrod They are legendary...this man has a ways to go. Depending on what you consider modern archery, Chuck Adams inspired the explosion of bow hunters in my generation...back when you had the whole wma/nwr to yourself during archery season!

I have learnt so much from Mr Dudley and his KZread channel. I now shoot with a silverback release. Just wish I lived in the States and not Australia some times. Would love to meet the man, so much respect for him for what he is and has done for the community.

Thanks to Johns online course and videos, I started using one of his infamous words “critical” in my vocabulary. That single word changed everything about every shot I’ve taken since then. So many things can benefit from just changing your mind set to critical thinking. An amazing teacher and so grateful for him generously putting what he’s learned, out here for us and our future generations.- Nock🤘🏼On!

Nothing but respect dude. Pursue the hunt over pursuit of a medal is the way to go.

this was very nice movie to see your history thru archery and bow hunting ,and your Nock on clips are awsome and im learning new things all the time ,i have been shooting different styles of bows for 20 years and still shoot traditionell bows but mostly my PSE shootdown thanks for your knowledge

when you work hard, you are rewarded. mr dudley is a rare breed, and that is to be commended, especially considering they times in which we live. joe rogan, the man is all over the map like a laser, and on point. good find, thank you.

WOW! A Military Brat! I knew there was something special about you! I was a BRAT from '77-91" then I was a Marine from '91-97. Now I am building a national then international cooperative for total military food security via local veterans! Mob farming, transport, slaughterhouse then delivery - all by veterans and their families! Did I mention there is a hunting ground with deep discounts for active duty, veterans, and first season hunters? I will eventually be financially secure enough to help those who wish to enter hunting (archery) that don't have the means to do so! Each one teaches one!! At 6'6" and 350+, I have struggled to find equipment or even someone knowledgeable enough to teach someone of my size. I currently have Barry Hall of Newbury Archery in Goshen, CT. Problem is, I live just outside of Boston! And my hunting buddy currently resides between KS and MD! I'm all alone up here! But I put in the time and I'm learning on my own with input from your videos and mistakes I make. After hunting men (I was a HOG in the Corps after being a PIG at long distances) I wanted a challenge in hunting. No greater challenge than a front-row seat in hunting. Up close and personal. Thank you for all that you do! Semper Fi!

Dudley is beyond phenomenal, an absolute LEGEND at his craft. Between him and Rogan , I think millions of poeple got into the lifestyle. Me included. God bless America.

Only bow I ever shot was in the scouts 40 years ago and one day a Dudley/TAC video popped up as a KZread suggestion. It was the hight of the COVID lockdowns, I am self employed so my stress level already was off the charts and loosing gyms, bike parks, +trails were so full I could not ride local either... I needed to find something to do! Watched a few more of his videos and decided I wanted to try archery and specifically go to Total Archery Challenge so I order a new old stock Elite and some arrows... With his videos and lots of practice I did much better than I had imagined I could in such a short time....only lost/broke 3 arrows doing Leupold and YETI twice each the weekend I was at the PA TAC (one of the broken arrows was the Iron novelty shoot :) ) I now have 3 bows, and I will doing my 3rd TAC in August, joining our local archery club... went from using all of a 36" bail at 50 yards to hitting a paper plates at 100 yards from doing Dudley school of nock.

helped me a ton !

Super impressed!!

I actually went as cheap as possible and bought a sit drag to couple with my muddy harness and attached a couple camo poncho bags to it to carry my ropes and made my own DIY saddle that I am anxious to try out this bow season. I have already climbed some trees with it and I am very pleased with how easy and fast it is to get in the tree and how versatile it is. Also I carry three of the longer lone wolf sticks with the seat off my lone wolf assault attached to the top of my third stick as my platform. Its tons lighter and faster so I am hoping to have success with it this season. Wish me luck!!

Nock on Brother ! I'm 57 years old and Deer Hunted since I was 10 with my Dad in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina . My first Bow was a Fred Bear 30lb Long bow and learned to instinct shoot from there ! I've become sorta of go to guy in my area because i learned to read the woods and Listen to what was being said . I went where no one else cared to go because it was Miles or Thick cover or too much for the masses. And i may not bring out but one ,,, but whata one ! I was third in N.C. for several yrs. with shooting a 548 lb black Bear with a rifle in 2012. And to be honest I woulda had the record for Bow with him ,but wouldn't take that 40yd shot which is all he would give me . But Now at 57 ,,, I'm enduring 4 back surgeries 01 total Total disk replacement in my neck . stainless right ankle , bad knees and this year I gave up Bow Hunting and Bought a Barnett 410 ghost,,, it's cool in the yard at 410 fps,,, but it's loud and not my Matthews Legacy ... I've already put a 8 on the ground with a rifle ,,, but it's not Bow hunting .... I hurt Constantly ,,,, but I know it's not getting better sitting here ... I may have to get that Legacy out and start shooting again ... watching this video , I don't think I'm ready to be put out to pasture yet ,,, Be ever mindful of what the timber is saying and take the time to listen ,,,, Nock On !

Literally can't stand Toe Rogan but respect you sir. The reason I commented, when you said you left the USA team because the league changed schedules to overlap elk hunting season. Brother... Mad respect.

Honestly such a bad ass story and upbringing, everyone has their own interpretations on his story and stuff but in my mind I see him as a child being taught at a young age to hunt with his family and as he gets older he takes on his apprenticeship with these other professional shooters and goes on to become one of the worlds best archers and winning medals and tournaments mastering the art of the bow and arrow , he realizes that hunting and the feeling of being out on the mountain stalking animals is what he loves doing. He goes on to train his body and mind to withstand the harsh conditions of the weather and nature. He then goes on to master the mountains, the animals, his body, his mind, his bow, and becomes a real hunting master. This guy is the real deal the best of the best, the amount of work he puts in to working out for these hunts is incredible and then he goes and tracks and stalks animals climbing mountains, walking through the dense woods, and walking up massive hill sides for miles and miles and miles. He has the natural talent He has the experience He has put in all the work He keeps on grinding
