  Whisker biscuit slowing down an arrow is overexagerated, I lost 2 fps on my chrono testing vs a blade rest.. 2fps is so minimal it's not worth talking about.. Im tired of hearing people use the term as if it's a major disadvantage.. truth is a whisker biscuit is all you would ever need.. but people are obsessed with tech on compounds.. a blade or drop away is more tech so people think there automatically better..

  If you grew up in the 70’s’80 that their parents would try and try and change their dominant hands by trying to train them to be right handed, you know all the old wives tales and all. I’m left handed I was born in 73 so I’m generation X, anyway my mom used to smack my left hand, tie my left hand so could only use my right, she finally gave up, but all of that crap she did made me ambidextrous 😂

  @@TradArchery101 got me there. I read Hunting the Hard Way years ago and he did mention his "split vision" technique in the book. I saw Byron Ferguson shoot at a show in the late '80's. He shot split finger instinctive. "Become the Arrow" illustrates his style. He practiced his form with his eyes closed shooting at a bag suspended very close. I guess I'm just old school. I shoot split finger focusing on the spot. I never see my arrow or tip when at full draw. I just love to shoot that way. To me, 3 fingers under and face walking etc bled into archery from the compound techniques. People wanted an easier way to "aim" like they could with a compound. Instinctive archery is not aiming. Did Brett Farvre and Joe Montana "aim" their passes? No. They learned to throw with years of practice (and talent.) I guess I'm a T-Rex. Thanks for posting your video.

  In Byron Ferguson’s video he also states he uses a version of Split vision. I just met him in Alabama at the Howard Hill Classic and we talked about how he aims and he confirmed he uses a version of split vision. Aiming did not come from compounds. People were using aiming techniques long before the compound was made. I have a “How to book” from Ben Pearson, made in 1952 where he describes different ways to aim. Aiming is just another tool. No reason to look down on it.

  I wish I had found this video 3 weeks ago when I started to research about archery. Very confusing watching archery vedeos without knowing what the dude is talking about. When they say "bare shaft", you have to bare shaft, but no one explains what that means. I thought it was the plain naked carbon, nothing else. I think "no fletching" would be a better term😸. Thanks for that, this video is amazing, there is no assumption that the audience already know this or that, everything is explained.

  Thanks, Greg! 😊 The information you shared in this video is awesome! I'm 66 years old and a newbie to archery. I started about 6 months ago by taking lessons, joining an archery club, and buying a 35 lb PSE Nighthawk, which is like a Samick Sage. I depended on the recommendation of the guys at my archery shop and have .600 carbon arrows, cut down 1/2". Your information on arrows is invaluable to me moving forward. I saved your video to my list. I will review it over and over until I have the information down by memory until no part is confusing, and I have a fluent understanding of these concepts! 😊 i just bought a 64" 40 lb. Southwest Archery Spider XL. It comes with a Dacron string. I ordered a 60" D97 Flemish Twist string. I understand D97 is between Dacron and Fast Flight. I will consider all these factors to buy new arrows for my 64" 40 lb. Southwest Archery Spider XL.

• 
  @davidburgess7412 ай бұрын

  A bow not cut to center will induce a bending action due to the rapid change in angle as the arrow accelerates abruptly. A flexible spine and heavy point can only exacerbate the bending action as the string keeps the nock end in the same plane. The point is thrust out away from the limb rapidly causing most of the shaft flex.

• 
  @davidburgess7412 ай бұрын

  Always kept both eyes open, so I guess I'm an instinctive shooter. Right handed and left eye dominant I fire a rifle left handed. Peep sights never worked for me because of this. I practice what I call Amish compound archery without sights but with a release aid! A left hand bow probably won't work for me because of left shoulder injury. I'll be trying your method and hope you're right. Not doing too badly with both eyes though. Maybe I shoot with some mix of instinctive and gap without having known what this is.

  I would encourage you to read up on the “Dominant Eye”. Studies have proven that it can and does switch sides. You can see these studies online.

  Plenty of people shoot arrows without feathers, it is called "tuning". If you did not get the point, then you were not listening. And no, not all arrows come with feathers and I do not request them not to have them. The point is to focus on your form and not on tuning when you first start.

  So your title SHOULD be “Don’t BARE shaft tune….for beginners. With a simple understanding of tail left and tail right you could correct much of that issue with correct spine and different grain tips. Is getting the correct spine and tip weight really too complicated in the Information age? Clearly those bare shaft arrows are way off for that bow. Why waste time and money thinking that you have the right arrows and know how to shoot only to find out your form sucks and the arrows were covering it up. This would be like beginning with a guitar that has built in pitch correction or a car that has auto pilot then wondering why when you turned off the technology you suck as a player or can’t drive through the parking lot without crashing. I’m not saying a beginner should keep tinkering trying to get sub 6 inch groups but with all the test kits available tuning isn’t really a black art too advanced for someone with average intelligence.

• 
  @TradArchery1012 ай бұрын

  You are glossing over the fact that new archers have so much variation in their form that simply following tail left or right will get them going in circles. Focus on form and pay attention to groupings. Trying to tune is a waste, see it all the time and guess what? They always have to buy new arrows because they tightened up their form so much, the old ones are not flying right anymore.

  @stupidhandles2 ай бұрын

  You need to shoot multiple arrows of each variation to get a decent sample size, and to prevent anonmalies due to external variants, ie the archer. Thought this on another video of yours you did testing speeds of straight vs helical fletching. One of your first results was an obvious anomaly (first helical arrow shot at close range) If youre going to the effort of making these videos and doing these tests you should at least do 12 of each arrow type at each variant being tested (ie distance, different arrow type) All data based on group samples are more accurate the greater the sample size. Statistically one sample for each variant statistically doesnt prove anything as they have hidden anomalies, especially important with these kinds of tests as humans cant consistently repeat the exact same method, there'll always be slight variants in draw or release etc. greater sample sizes helps identify the anomalies and identify a norm. Not having a go, or criticising for the sake if it. I enjoy the videos but ultimately low sample group data telis us very little

  Jimmy joe know it all is right. Wrongly matched arrows to go off line. Ive experienced it. Granted there are other variables, but matching correct spine/weight combination is a factor, if youre sighting down the arrow and theyre goung to the side door ts a Go d chance its poorly matched arrows. 20yards can be too short a distance to be noticable but at larger distances it becomes more apparent. Though it also depends on the bow, certainly english longbows are more susceptible as they need a larger fkex to get round the wider bow, flatbows and recurves with cut out arrowshelves its the of an issue as the arrow doesnt yave to bend around the bow as much. Although i find, (for right handed shooters) too stiff oull to the left, top weak go all over the place. I prefer slightly too stiff to slightly too weak. Like with all archery its try it and see what works for you, tberes conflicting advise on everything, enjoying it is the main goal

  When I cant it shortens my draw length by an inch or two which reduces my arrow velocity. My longbows require a cant just to keep the arrow on the shelf for some reason buy my recurves not so much. It may be because my shelf rug is different. Not sure yet. If your arrow spine is not correct you will definitely see a big difference by how much you cant. A stiff arrow will move your POI left for a right hand shooter. Same with plucking the string.

  I think there's a big chunk of personality involved in this. If I take my own club as an example, the archers who would be considered 'trad' all shoot badly with zero back tension and poor alignment. The recurve archers, less so. They only shoot 20yds so they see a fair sized group and this outcome makes them believe they're shooting well. The trad archers also all show the same personailty traits of huge egos, heightened opinions of themselves, an import on being a big man, they don't have coaches because "why do i need a coach, I'm a great archer, I don't need all tgat stuff on my bow that you 'need'...". They just bang away at targets close-up without realising that we have eight year olds doing the same thing but who will go on to shoot the same sized groups at much greater distances. They'll also be heard saying things like, "why do i need to shoot 100yds, I know how to walk". The trad group is also likely to be dressed for war, drive 4x4, talk about how they could knock animsls over with their arrows, blah blah... So the reason trad archers don't shoot properly is nothing to do with bowstyle but everything to do with personality: they cannot shelve their ego enough to be coached, they do not progress as fast as some one who can swallow their pride and ask for help, so they migrate to 'trad' where they dwell amongst the like-minded in the "we're different" echo-chamber, with the security of "this is more difficult than recurve because we don't have all the aids to shooting of other bow styles" to hide their inabilities. I have demonstrated to beginner groups how I can shoot wrong-handed snd wrong-eyed, a 12# bow way too small for me, with badly matched arrows with zero alignment and shoot tight groups at close range in an effort to make them buy into getting coaching, early in their shooting career. Too many archers conflate a tight group at close range with having good technique. I hope my demonstration proves otherwise. There is usually some dickhead who misses the point and shouts out "yeah but you're a good archer". That dickhead usually quits early or goes on to be.... ....a trad archer.

  This is a very informative video. I have developed a theory. The fletching is going to spin the arrow. The first 10 yards the arrow goes from 0 rpm spinning to some high rpm. Once the rpm maxes out the drag decreases. At first the spiral fletching catches a lot of wind with no spin. I don't know how you kept the arrows inside the chrono. Great shooting. You could also have some fishtailing causing velocity loss when the arrow is yawed a lot but when the yaw angle is straight the velocity loss would be low. Precise arrow tuning has it's advantages I think.
