Mr Carter your videos are instructional but they are also a ministry to a lot of people and encourage us not only in our shooting but in our faith as well. They are a blessing , thank you for doing them and keep on keepin on.
Another good video brother, got out of archery for25-30 years and recently trying to get back into it and really struggling with my instinctive shooting but you are helping, hope you and yourn have a blessed new year 🙏🏻
D and almost D style micro R&D longbows the silence is amazing. If you have a thin string and it makes a light twang on a recurve, the solutions are either get a wider string or get some silencers preferring the second option so you can keep using the string. The String being off in width is probably the biggest issue in a bow besides a common easy fix of having the brace height off on the bow.
Robert, you are spot on about the grip affecting the bow tune. I worked at an archery shop and everyone wanted to shoot through paper after the bow was set up and tuned. Most times their form was so poor from torquing the grip that they couldn’t get a good hole. We would have to shoot the bow for them to show them it was pilot error, not the setup or tune. As for the heavy arrows, I agree shooting lightweight shafts out of a Hill-style longbow is a good way to get tendentious in your elbow. Happy New Year and God Bless!🙏
Excellent video Robert. I find between recurve long bows and even years ago. With compounds the grip, it's extremely important to be consistent, and the feel of l changes dramatically, as you said with how you grip the bow
Game changer for me was just shooting a cheap 40 pound bow 70 percent of the time. Still shooting my 55 pounder but only once a week. The 40 pound bow has helped me be way more accurate with my higher poundage one.
After over 30 years shooting Black Widow and other longbows I've found that gripping my longbows with a tight hammer like grip works great for me. Prior to going to longbows I shot recurves with a rather loose two finger type grip which worked good for me.
I shoot both styles of bows with a full grip or as close to a full grip as possible on recurve bows and why I do not like the more target/compound type of skinny grips on a recurve or a more recurve grip on a longbow as this prevents proper grip for these bows. Most longbows I like a universal left right Notched grip or if I can't have a universal notched grip, a round back straight grip for the second choice as most straight handle including forward tend to be not fit my smaller hand as most are made in either Howard Hill too deep but skinny enough or are too wide/squared off but right depth on the York/some older Indian design of straight grip where I would on the second choice York style need to do work to the handle some way if squared off corners in the back as some cheaper models use in York design of straight grip. On recurves the grip just can't be the modern target/compound type of skinny grips due to not able to use a full grip on them but also can't be the odd styles with the specific thumb slot so the thumb has to fit in just right each time in a less comfortable grip, similar issue with some with the grip that forces the hand or wrist into an odd position becuse of an odd low grip shape, both of this second style of odd grip shape are uncomfortable, that can lead to injury if not used to the grip style especially in the low odd grip.
Just a observation from rear elbow to the string arm and wrist straight and inlighn to the the grip. This lighn you establish then lean your anchor into your string anchor point. Jeff does this also and ironicly with diference in grip this is how I alighned shooting compound. So now shooting recurve and tramsitioned my elbow to string to grip with out initial anchor and also lean in slighest to anchor. It was just a few weeks ago i saw jeffs video on grip preasure on a recurve. This made a huge diference the bows reaction. Actualy see others pull directly into thier anchor and can see thier wrist not straight somewhat bent yet very impresive shooters . Proves your point as long as you repeat the same thing acuratly you will have good results.
Amen, the grip is everything, with correct focus of course. pick a spot, a tiny spot and let the force do its thing. Be consistent in your grip/form and pick that spot. Let that wonderful brain that God gave you do the rest. Be Blessed my Brother and have a Happy New Year
Robert, BINGO! I'd only been into my first Hill Bow ever 6-8 months, and I was really struggling to get consistent! Mist time I was ok, then some bad! I've always been a full fist good grip shooter, so I couldn't figure it out? Then I saw Nates post on this subject. At first I thought, "Ah BS!" Then I got rid of self thinking, and I determined to try it? As soon as I settled into it, Bingo! Now it's embedded into my shot, usually! But I find it again, I'm back! It Works, Thanks for affirmation!
There is a video from about 1990 that John Lee did (trained by Howard Hill) to shoot along with his sons in the that has since been uploaded to TH-cam. The Video in the good one part video is called Hittin em like Howard Hill. I have the Book by Jerry Hill, Howard Hills nephew called Howard Hill's Method of Shooting the Bow and Arrow that helped with some of the more Aming parts in the way I do instinctive gap or secondary aiming/split vison that are nearly/basically the same thing.
Thanks for the video. When I first got my Hill bow, I held the grip like a recurve. The hand shock was terrible and in cold weather it would split the web of my hand. You have to heel the bow like you do.
Happy new year to you Sir, thank you for another insightful video. On another note, that's a mighty nice looking shirt, if you don't mind me asking, what brand is it. 🙂
You got that right brother. Most of my setups are 13-15 Gpp. Think about shooting a 40 lb recurve or Longbow 10 grains per pound is a 400 grain Arrow hell I use heavier arrows than that for 3D
Happy new year RC great video! Hope to get my ASL bow soon emailed Nate Steen about his Back quiver gonna get one soon! He gave me some good advice on a bow for me!! Would really like one of his some day! Unfortunately he not taking orders now.Thanks Again
Back single strap quiver is about the only way I can use my arrows, I do not like to use a side mounted quiver. A side shoulder quiver and a Side quiver in my area the side quiver is loud unless you have more the 3D Target competition model that straps fully to a single leg and the side shoulder quiver gets stuck on items even more so then a side mounted.
Always good advice. Thanks. Ive still gotva good Shultz bow but haven't used it for years. It's about 80 pounds. I could once pull it and shoot pretty good but I'm 71 now. Muscles could pull it but the shoulders and joints couldn't keep up. Know anybody who had the expertise to take it down to, say, 60?
Thanks for the tips! No doubt you and yours were spared from that destructive storm. Good girl Daisy May!

The silence of a well tuned Hill style D bow is always amazing .

Happy New Year Robert. I always love your videos and how you share your love for Jesus and hunting. God bless you!
Awesome pup! Thanks for all the great advice!
Happy New Year Robert! As always, thank you for your videos!
Can't believe how alike we think. Fyi..i like indicator grips and i use middle and ring finger pressure. Just do the same every time.
Thanks for the video Mr Carter and happy new year ❤to you and your family
❤ Glad to watch and read the comments. Bless us and Our wildlife. Thanks Mr Carter for the education
Good show Robert God bless you and your family Dan from Arkansas again
Happy new year. ROBERT 🎉
Thank you so much. Happy New Year !!!!
The key to consistency, oddly enough, is consistency!
That is the first time that I heard that, about the grip. thank you.
Always love the videos. God bless y'all

how do I go about getting myself one of those bows Rob
In India tribal making bamboo shaft from bamboo and the string is a bamboo flexible string very strong
Sorry didn't check my spelling.

Robert, does your string hit your stomach when you shoot out of a tree. Mine does especially at 5-10 yards
Does not
@@robertcarte95
Does not hit your stomach or does not affect the accuracy?
