Excellent tutorial ! There’s nothing better than learning from a well seasoned archer thats willing to share their hard earned knowledge!

Excellent video Sir! I wish I would have had someone to show me this stuff many years ago when I started shooing a stickbow. You’re a blessing to folks just getting started.

Another great video RC!!! Fortunately I was taught all this stuff years ago, but you are spot on keep it as simple as it needs to be!!!! God bless you!

Excellent video as usual Robert you covered the basics how to set up a bow perfectly exactly the way I approach each one .as guys who have been doing this for a long time we take it for granted but this is such simple basic stuff that every Hunter / Archer should know.

Excellent tutorial! I bought myself a longbow 4 years back and I haven’t gotten real far. I’m watching your tutorial on set up, but you have explained it much better than any of the other videos I have seen. Also, I’m new to stick bow hunting, but not new to Christ. I agreed, don’t complicate a new believer up, keep Christ as the focus!

Good job RC. Young beginning bowyers need to see these things an it don,t hurt the older ones to maybe learn something new. There's always a better way. A life lived for Christ is the greater way . Thanks for the great video. Looking forward to the next one. God bless an keep you an your family safe an well.

Simple to the point well done. Nate built a dandy for ya 🙏 God bless 🙌

Great Job my Friend. Christ has Blessed You with a gift. And You Honor Christ in your example. Thank You.

Thank you. Even for a long time archer there is a lot to get out of this video,

“If you’re into real pretty fuzzballs” 😂😂😂 Good stuff RC!

Amen brother! Thanks Robert. (But remember, perfect fuzz balls make perfect shots! lol)

Amen, simple, simple, simple! Keep it simple and easy for that is what it is supposed to be. Too many make it a lot harder than what it is supposed to be and that applies to salvation as well. There is no need, especially with a longbow to have to go to a pro shop for anything work wise. some make their own strings, some don't. Once you get a bow square and some don't even use one because of a practiced eye but a good simple square will last forever. You don't have to use wool if you don't have some but it works so much better, especially in wet weather. Then the next important thing for a bow is wax for the string to protect it. An awesome video for the beginner as well as some that don't realize how easy and simple it can be. Longbows are simple and awesome in so many ways. Keep em coming Brother

This is a blessing. Thanks for the tips - and what an awesome comparison that you tied in about encouraging each other in Christ. Keep it coming.

Great Words Mr. Carter!!

Amen brother, great video, I’m an old shooter too and really enjoyed watching!!!!!! Great message about our Savior Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!

I’m glad you made this video Mr.Carter. I’ve sat here going over this no to long ago and was wondering if there was anything I missed when you went over this with me.

Thank you for sharing RC and yes, let’s keep our good Lord first!

Good one Robert 👍

Great video! I’ve been doing this for decades, and I really like the way you tie on nocking points. Better than the way I’ve always done it! I’m really looking forward to the rest of this series. I’m always learning better ways to do things.

Another use for dental floss. Not my idea ... friend clued me. If nock's fit on served string is bit more loose than ya prefer, wrap dental floss between nock points until nock fit is perfect. Use super glue to adhere dental floss in place. Then go shoot some arras! Thanks for taking time to illustrate how ya setup your bows.

thanks for a nice movie. you are a knowledgeable and experienced man. thank you for simplifying things that others do everything they can to make advanced and difficult. archery should be fun.

Great stuff robert

Great video! Thanks for helping the new guys! And I always learn something new from you!

Good Sunday evening. Appreciate the video ✝️🙏👍💪

Great stuff for our newby brothers/sisters of the bow! Been a while since I shot a Hill style. But you can’t ever tell ….. 😂 Amen on the wrap!

Beautiful bow! I'm still waiting for a chance to get one. Great video RC!

Excellent tutorial. Straight forward and simple.

Loved the video as always. God bless

Amen on both accounts

Great video Robert! Looking forward to the series

Amen!

Amen. Thank you

Have a bless day thanks

Awesome awesome video Mr Carter thank you

Very informative video. 👍👍

Great video, Mr. Robert!! Thank you. I saw Miss Daisy hanging out in the background... I'm looking forward to the next one. God bless.

Thank you seasoned archers that help us rookies

I use a brass Nock sometimes 2 stacked if serving is even on string where nocking point is or nocks are really thin but then again, I am using a Glove and I am having he crimp facing away from handle and in a teardrop shape so ends are mashed into each other. I have yet to have one eat a serving on a properly made string.

Always enjoy!

Great video and value

I super glue nocks in place even.. Top and bottom of serving too.

Great video

Thanks for sharing. As a recent convert to traditional, your simple approach is refreshing. I’ll be grabbing some yarn at Hobby Lobby this week. How does the yarn handle water?

Get wool yarn and it will shed water with a slight pop of the string.

Thanks for sharing, lots of good information in a simplified way easy to understand.IIK

Great video brother. Please tell us about the woods in your bow, I’m gonna have an ASL built and love the veneers and riser on yours, thanks

Awesome bow Robert is that a50#?

Robert does your square and tape measure measurements jive with one another when measuring brace height? My square is off by 1/8”. Can’t remember if it reads long or short at this moment, but if I measure with a tape measure (the method I actually use) and then measure with a bow square, the square is off 1/8”.

@robertcarte95

It's the distance of the string clips. I account for it

@@robertcarte95 no I get that, but if you measure the brace the way you show (short side to the grip, long side towards string) it will be off 1/8”. If you clip it to the string and measure towards the grip it is accurate . I don’t think most people know that. Gotta be smarter than the tool I guess lol

You did a good job on this, Robert. I've been shooting these hill-style longbows for around 40 years, and have been making my own strings and arrows also. I like to use string material or serving to tie my nocks on with. I only use one nocking point where the arrow is above it. It's a little quicker for me getting the arrow on the string and without looking. I've noticed over the years that most longbowmen use a higher brace height than I. Bin shooting a 70-inch Hill style longbow lately, and like the BH right at 6 in. I use a simple method of measuring brace height in the field by placing my fist on the riser and sticking my thumb up. I like the string to be in the center of my thumbnail. This measurement is what used to be called "fistmill" I don't use string silencers on an American style longbow, but many do. Congratulations on acquiring a Sunset Hill longbow, they are hard to come by. Nate builds the finest Hill style long bows in the country. More than this though, I appreciate you telling the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Awesome video sir. What wood is that on the belly and riser of your bow?

The bow is 3 lams of bamboo with a Myrtle riser. Fine shooting bow.
