Good shooting bud. I started deer hunting in the mid 1980’s with a recurve and I know how challenging it was for me to be accurate. You make it look easy. I went to a compound in the 1990’s and switched to a recurve crossbow in 2010. I do have a tremendous amount of respect for traditional archers because I know the amount of discipline and practice it takes to be consistent. I should have stuck with traditional in the 80’s. There is just something magical about watching those arrows hit the mark without the use of sights. Great video and great shooting.
Thank you for all the information, great video and shooting! I’ll try your technique to improve my shooting. So far traditional archery have been a very humbling experience for me😅
@@tylerwhaley4872 I haven't done it as much as I intended, I target shoot with rifles and that's taken most of my time. But with practice I was doing OK I think. I have 3 fingers under, works best for me.
You must have been reading my mind as I was just about to ask you of your AMAZING shooting and what your technique was. GREAT, GREAT video! I hope to try some of your techniques to my shooting to see how it does. I have a bad shoulder so I'm ALWAYS looking for ways to help my shooting! THX AGAIN for this and ALL your other GREAT videos!! AIM SMALL!! 🏹🎈🎯
Very solid information and well presented .. Thank you very much. I AGREE on all points offered and you confirm where I am after many decades of shooting. Well done. From Kawartha Traditional Archery Center Ontario Canada Fred
That's an interesting perspective you have on how you aim with TRAD. Out of all the TH-camrs I've watched with me picking up TRAD from Compound, your grouping right there is by far the tightest.
Glad you left the comments open so I could thank you for this cool video. Feel like I could smell the fresh air and trees. Well, I'm just starting in archery at 60 and with my vision it is always instinctive shooting at best! Looking forward to checking out your content. 👍🎯
Aim small miss small . Cool video brother I shoot 3 under but these tips are helpful . This winter I am going to spend time perfecting my form and work on consistency. All the best to you , I just found your channel !!
Appreciate the advice. You gotta be thick skinned to post on the internet. No matter how kind your trying to be and how much you explain something is "your" way and not necessarily the "correct " way your always gonna have the bitter angry keyboard warriors who feel like its theyre purpose on earth to point out what your doing wrong or how you stated something wrong etc. Roll with the punches my friend.
I understand. It would be great if all arguments could be settled on the Archery course.🤣🏹🎯. I'm actually getting Way more positive responses than Trolls. I did figure out how to block one angry viewer. Thanks for watching.
Hey there Crockett! I tried reading all the comments on this video but didn’t see anyone ask this. I am curious if in your release does your string hit your nose? If so does it get raw after awhile or is yours just used to it after all your years of shooting? I ask because I have noticed that good archers who shoot super small objects hit their noses once string releases. Is that another key to being super accurate? Love your videos. Short sweet and to the point. Thank you
I teach archery. That is really similar the way I teach. We tried to shoot about a 100 to a 150 arrows A-day. It's a lot of fun and good practice Good job again
I don’t care what anyone else says but I think this video was inspired by my comment in one of your videos the other day about how it takes me 3 shots before I hit my target and it only takes you one shot. Just kidding but this is an awesome video and thank you for showing us. I string walk with my finger compounds and I don’t really have an issue with those divisions but my trad recurve isn’t great.
I go back to the Ear front of canal cartilage with top finger to my set point on release and I use a modified Howard Hill/Split Vision though more with the object blurry then the arrow as if the arrow is blurry then I get odd eye pain, sometimes in worst case head pains when aiming. Other thing with this is I can focus on the object I am trying to hit more with the arrow not blurry as the arrow also likes to go double in my vison when I let it go blurry as close items to my face tend to do when not in focus due to going cross eye when trying to focus outside the closer object. Then other times I have to have both in almost focus, mini blur to both if I am really struggling to hit the object on those days or having eye pains with either object or arrow being blurry. There are also some rare days the arrow needs to be blurry to shoot but those are often due to a rare thing if the target is going double vison more then the close object when they are blurry. Edits: I forgot to mention I am split finger so only the top finger above arrow is touching the spot. I am using glove though the almost string type unless I am using a set of all leather gardening/work gloves with the smoother fingers to them, both in the pair for winter.
@@godspark6558 I found it really had no effect on my Feet per second. A quiet bow is important for hunting. A loud bow will cause the deer to duck down.
I just have one question: Why are you using two or in total four (4) string silencers/beaver puffs? Are the other two really necessary? Thanks in advance, MS.
The bow Im shooting in this video has a G10 riser. That produces a different sound and I personally believe to vibrate slightly more than wood. The silencers help with both. Traditional Archery is about the feel of the bow, there in no CORRECT way to shoot or set up your bow. This feels good to me. Don't be afraid to experiment.
@@bluegretchen after watching your video l added another pair of silencers to my bow .What a difference with only one pair l was still getting noise but with the addition of another pair bow is now unbelievably silent .
Got hooked on your videos, very inspiring. How long do you think your draw length is? I ask because my form is similar to yours (no where near as accurate, but similar anchor point, grip, release, follow-through point, etc...), but I get a feeling I'm short drawing. Almost like I'm only pulling 40 or so pounds of my 55 pound bow. I'm generally accurate (for myself, not compared to you) and the arrow flies well, but it just doesn't feel like the arrow has enough behind it for hunting, which I'm trying to get into. When I try to alter my form to try and increase my draw (opening the chest, anchoring further back), my shots go all over. I start getting string slap, it sounds terrible like I'm plucking the string, arrow wobbles. So I'm wondering if I should maybe just get an even heavier bow and just keep my draw to see if that helps get some additional arrow speed. So I guess my questions are, do you know your draw length and do you feel you're pulling the entire poundage of your bow?
Yes. My draw length is 26 1/2 inches. If a Bow is 50 lbs at 28 inches I'd still be pulling around 46 ish pounds with my draw length. ( I figure 2 1/2 pounds per inch is lost per inch) I personally would worry about accuracy and sharp broadhead and then a quiet bow way better I'd worry about speed. People drop deer all the time with 40 lb bows. ( Find out what the legal specifications in your state are and go from there) Good luck and Aim small.
I’m not the most accurate archer but also not the worst. I sucked at it and was about to bag the whole thing until I recently got lured back in by a cheap and awesome bow (black hunter). I decided to get a really light draw weight in order to concentrate more on my form and less on the heavy draw. It was a major game changer. After a lot of practice I can now shoot my 45” and 55” bows accurately. I don’t think I’d want to hunt with anything heavier than 45”, personally.
Sometimes it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. 🏹🎯🤣 You better check out the actual definition of a longbow. Be well and Aim small.
That’s some mighty good tip’s you’re sharing, especially the idea of the tip of the elbow at full draw to be like the rear sight of a rifle. That’s a new one for me and I like it, will put it into my very fast snap shooting shot sequence soon.
Easily one of the most instructive videos out! We all know how nuanced trad. archery can be for each individual, but I found the entire video impactful on how I can shoot better--without having to completely unlearn decades of instinct or muscle memory. On the other hand, all the wind and distance from the camera interfered with how well I heard the audio so may wanna consider getting a pop or wind filter; that's what comes to mind as a solution, but there could absolutely be some DIY alternatives available. Thanks for the content brother!
Thanks very much. That's nice of you to let me know you enjoyed it. My wife got me a microphone and when I remember to use it the quality is better. Be well and Aim small.
I love the setup on the back porch. So peaceful where you live. I think the quality of the bow has a lot to do with it. I bought a Samick Sage and built up my strength then bought a custom bow from P. A.W bowyers guild and it made a huge difference in my accuracy. I couldn't be happier. Awesome video and i look forward to seeing more. 👍
I just recently started getting into traditional archery and everything you have stated in this video are tips my brother told me and it helped me tremendously. It’s crazy how important keeping the elbow in line and aiming small is! Great video! My brother always says “if you aim small you’ll miss small”
Interesting video, I'll give your technique a try. It certainly works for you - and take no notice of negative comments, it's certain that the vast majority of viewers appreciate your efforts!
This looks like a really natural tehnique for our physique, I will try it out when I get the chance. I am uncomfortable with the stance that was taught at the range, I'm not saying the perfect T pose with a perfectly vertical bow is a bad technique but my wrists and shoulder scream in agony after 15 minutes of shooting, let alone after a 2 hour session
I like the laser analogy hehe... that makes sense to me in a weird way! Could you do a video specifically on your release? I am trying to figure out what is going on the moment I release. So much is happening at that point in the shot that my mind sort of blanks out from too much input and I don't have control over my release hand. I would love to hear your take on this part of the shot cycle.
Sometimes I have a probleme with my bodnik quickstick bow. 30# 60 . My arrows goes to left. Im aiming with arrow point . Ive tried tilt the bow , and sometimes stand straight and shoot. Can you show more tip . 😅
Archery is like painting...those who are masters of the knowledge hide the key to the knowledge. You are not like this! You are a good person, thank you!🥰
Thank you very much! I have watched all your videos but finally, when I paid attention to your little words "aim small", that actually helped me to improve my shooting!
I also use the split finger draw, all the time, I can't stand the noise and feel of 3 under, even when bows tiller is properly set up for 3 under, just doesn't work for my mind. Do you always draw split finger?
@@HonestDoubter it's probably the cheapest one I could find on amazon, it's just my practice quiver if I'm going out in the woods to hunt I'm going to have a good attached quiver.
Love the explanations. I don't blame you for wanting to leave the comments off...I get some dumb people leaving such ignorant comments all the time. But your explaining how YOU aim is YOUR unique technique...and it obviously WORKS! You proved that by those shots! AMAZING! My wife and I just got into traditional archery, just as a fun and relaxing pastime. I love to see other ways of aiming and shooting. Man, it looks so pleasant out there where ever you are, reminds me of Vermont where I grew up. Thanks again for the video and info.
Very nice of you to share this strategy. I can identify with so much of what you said. Everything in traditional archery seems to be some kind of compromise. My technique has evolved by sacrificing “perfect geometrical form” by raising the anchor point close to my eye. There are a few advantages for this especially when shooting from unorthodox positions. I like what you said about gleaning from other shooters. Heard the pail drop analogy before, but it is the first i heard about the golf ball follow through though. I love your videos, short and sweet.
A couple of questions: What happens to the laser tipped arrow concept when you start moving back to distances that require holding bow higher? And secondly, what are you doing on your follow through? Focusing on steady bow arm for instance? Thanks
@@elmbow Anything past 23 yards and I'm going to be using point of aim and face walking. Upon release I'm either focused on having a steady Bow hand or focused on expansion upon release. Thank you for watching.
Great video. Excellent form and shooting accuracy. I have recently dedicated to using the feather to the nose technique. When I am able to execute my shooting is much improved but I still sometimes can not draw completely to get the feather to touch and am essentially short drawing. I believe my problem is having too much focus on the target and not enough focus on completing the touch of the feather. I would be willing to bet if you are getting negative responses it is due to some jealousy and low self esteem on their part.
What shooting tab do you use and does the tab contact the string when shooting . . . I use a SAM tab and the leather with my finger tips behind the leather of the SAM pulls the string . . . from your video it appears that your tab does not touch the string . . . btw, my Acadian Woods Bow will be shipped next week . . . do you remember you did a video for me on the Acadian Woods bow?
I can overall aim but I don’t know how to be accurate. Don’t know if that make sense but let’s say I’m shooting at a 8 inch wide circle at 20 yards, it’ll hit it or right beside it but it won’t hit what I was aiming at. It just get close to it. It’s not precise. I’ve been shooting for about 2 years and I have been struggling with this ever since. I don’t use an exact technique but just shoot instinctively by muscle memory.
Aim for a small spot on the plate, not the actual plate. Draw a dot if you have to. You're only going to be as accurate as what you ask your brain to hit. Be as specific as possible.
Great video, and I love ur definition of aim small, looks similar to my style, but I do see some differences that can help me get a tighter group. Good shooting
String wax works just as well, I don't do it because it's part of my shot routine. It funny how many people get annoyed by it. I don't even know Im doing it.
I understand what you are saying. However I'm trying to share my own point of view to maybe help someone out. Old or new if you remain teachable you can pick up something new that you never thought about. That's all...I'm all for shooting a several thousand Arrows to figure it out for yourself. Infact...I did. Thanks for watching.
You said that you bring the arrow to just under your dominant eye for close shots up to 15 yards. Where do you hold when it’s beyond that say 25 yards? The fletching touching your nose is great idea for everyone that has a long enough nose, unfortunately my nose is short 😂 but still an excellent suggestion. This is the first time watching any of your videos but It’s so good, I’m subscribing. Looking forward to watch your other videos. Dig your beard and mustache too.
Thank you kindly. I often use a technique called face walking. I have different anchor points on my face. By combining point of aim and face walking I can be somewhat accurate out two 60 yards. 👍
Good shooting bud. I started deer hunting in the mid 1980’s with a recurve and I know how challenging it was for me to be accurate. You make it look easy. I went to a compound in the 1990’s and switched to a recurve crossbow in 2010.

There is just something magical about watching those arrows hit the mark without the use of sights. Great video and great shooting.
I completely understand. I do hunt with all bows. I love shooting traditional archery, I'd still do it even if I didn't hunt. Have a great season.

Of a longbow yes, a recurve no. Although a lot of it is personal.
Thank You
What's the purpose of putting things on your string. Fuzzy stuff?
Quiets the entire bow. It keeps the string from vibrating like a guitar.

I love your videos, short and sweet.
Very good insights Nocksmasher!
A couple of questions:
What happens to the laser tipped arrow concept when you start moving back to distances that require holding bow higher?
And secondly, what are you doing on your follow through? Focusing on steady bow arm for instance?
Thanks
@@elmbow Anything past 23 yards and I'm going to be using point of aim and face walking.
Upon release I'm either focused on having a steady Bow hand or focused on expansion upon release.
Thank you for watching.
Nice video thanks for the tips
Hey, great!
Thank you for video!!!!
Very insightful
Tell me about your bow....
Great video. Excellent form and shooting accuracy. I have recently dedicated to using the feather to the nose technique. When I am able to execute my shooting is much improved but I still sometimes can not draw completely to get the feather to touch and am essentially short drawing. I believe my problem is having too much focus on the target and not enough focus on completing the touch of the feather. I would be willing to bet if you are getting negative responses it is due to some jealousy and low self esteem on their part.
Thanks for sharing
Dude can shoot!!
Aim small miss small
Good job 👏 thanks
Aim small, mine too
Well, at first, I was curious. So I took my recurve and just trying without shooting. Seems promising... thank you for sharing.
I'll give it a try. ty MH
Some really good insight. Thanks for taking the time to create and post the video.
Thank you.
Good stuff!!
What shooting tab do you use and does the tab contact the string when shooting . . . I use a SAM tab and the leather with my finger tips behind the leather of the SAM pulls the string . . . from your video it appears that your tab does not touch the string . . . btw, my Acadian Woods Bow will be shipped next week . . . do you remember you did a video for me on the Acadian Woods bow?
Your going to be really happy. I use a Bateman tab. My tab certainly touches my string...not exactly sure what you mean by that. Be well.
I can overall aim but I don’t know how to be accurate. Don’t know if that make sense but let’s say I’m shooting at a 8 inch wide circle at 20 yards, it’ll hit it or right beside it but it won’t hit what I was aiming at. It just get close to it. It’s not precise. I’ve been shooting for about 2 years and I have been struggling with this ever since. I don’t use an exact technique but just shoot instinctively by muscle memory.
Aim for a small spot on the plate, not the actual plate. Draw a dot if you have to. You're only going to be as accurate as what you ask your brain to hit. Be as specific as possible.
Your ramblings actually made sense to me, very helpful. Thanks.
Ramblings? You trying to butter me up? 🤣 Glad it helped.
Nice!
Good
I'm doing rather well at 15yrd. It's 25 and 30 yrd. Seems my window gets so big , my eyes wander. Any pointers.
I use point of aim past 23 ish yards. I find for me personally it's more accurate at longer distances than being instinctive.👍
Great video, and I love ur definition of aim small, looks similar to my style, but I do see some differences that can help me get a tighter group. Good shooting
Thanks for sharing your technique, keep it coming. And you are a fantastic shot.
Love ya on Instagram... Just saw you here.

Samick Sage bamboo bow?? Great release tech aiming!
No....it's not a Samick. It's A Big stick Assassin.
Use little tar for your tip threads so you dont need to check them all the time.
String wax works just as well, I don't do it because it's part of my shot routine. It funny how many people get annoyed by it. I don't even know Im doing it.
It does not matter how you do it as long as you do!
I understand what you are saying. However I'm trying to share my own point of view to maybe help someone out. Old or new if you remain teachable you can pick up something new that you never thought about. That's all...I'm all for shooting a several thousand Arrows to figure it out for yourself. Infact...I did. Thanks for watching.
Hi, what arrows are you
Shooting?
Gold Tip Blemished. 500.
Thank you very much👍
I just started my journey and you explained more in that video than I've been able to find on TH-cam over 4 months...
Kudos sir 👍
I'm glad you found it helpful. 👍
You said that you bring the arrow to just under your dominant eye for close shots up to 15 yards. Where do you hold when it’s beyond that say 25 yards? The fletching touching your nose is great idea for everyone that has a long enough nose, unfortunately my nose is short 😂 but still an excellent suggestion. This is the first time watching any of your videos but It’s so good, I’m subscribing. Looking forward to watch your other videos. Dig your beard and mustache too.
Thank you kindly.
I often use a technique called face walking. I have different anchor points on my face. By combining point of aim and face walking I can be somewhat accurate out two 60 yards. 👍

Excellent 🙏 Thanks.
Question? What make is your shoulder quiver please? 👍🏻🇨🇦
It's just a really cheap one I got on eBay, it's just for practice. I have no idea who makes it though.
@@bluegretchen Think I found it on Amazon. Thanks. 66 and just bought my first recurve 😂
