    Q&A: yes I could get a real compound bow, but actually I don't want to because of the following reasons:
    1. Compound bows have a complicated system which is hard to repair in the field,
    2. They are quite heavy causing me to shake.
    3. They are bulky and cannot really be taken down quickly.
    4. Compounds bows are expensive
    My recurve bow
    1. Is easy to repair in the field
    2. Is pretty lightweight
    3. Can be taken down
    4. My setup only costs 200 euros
    In my opinion my "HYBRID" setup is the perfect survival bow. Also if anything breaks with the sight, peep or release I can always switch back to bare bow shooting.
    Thanks for watching.

    Great video... When I was 6 or 7 my dad bought me a membership in the Ishi bow club. It was less than a mile from our house. I shot every day and always missed one or more targets. I never had a set of matching arrows cause I would lose some and find others. I'm really good at finding things from hunting stray arrows all those years. Thanks you brought back some great memories

    I have been using a similar sight setup on my recurves too. It takes out a lot of the guess work in aiming compared to instinct shooting without sights. The sight peep and the rubber band do require regular maintenance. The peep will shift along the string after several hundred shots, and the rubber will break often. My instinct bow friends would laugh at the setup, but I like it very much.

  • @ghuber480
    @ghuber480 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Tighten your wrist strap a little, then hold the bow more loosely. At full draw, open your hand so the bow rests in the web between your thumb and index finger, in line with your wrist. With your hand relaxed, point your four fingers at the target. Lastly, pull the trigger on your release the way you do on your rifle, squeeze it slowly. It should surprise you when it releases. Once you have your bow set up the way you like, practice your longest shots first to force you to focus better. That will tighten up your shorter shots. When you shoot at a target put multiple spots to shoot at, and never shoot more than one arrow per spot. That way you will not Robin Hood your expensive arrows. I am an archery coach.

      Solid advice ! This technique will drastically improve your accuracy and grouping. I found that rotating your elbow up will increases stability and eliminate string slap.

    • @FrankEgyed
      @FrankEgyed 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great advice. However, when I tried this I found my bow on the ground after each shot, so I had to use a wrist strap like the Olympic shooters (which is why they use them). But I didn't want another piece of kit in the field. So now I just circle the grip with thumb and forefinger, the only contact with the bow grip is the webbing between these fingers, and point the other fingers at the target. Avoid touching the heel of the hand to the grip as well, as this can induce vertical torque. Think "archery shooting machine"

    Nice shooting Lilly. I love field archery courses especially with all the difficult shots which mimic the hunt. We had a stream station with a fish target and a platform shot similar to a tree stand. We even had an obscure shot target that required kneeling. I shoot the same release and peep sight but use an elevation adjustable cross hair with neon dot. The elevations are marked in meters so it is easy to adjust in the field. I shoot a compound with high draw weight, but I also shoot recurve and bare bow. The compound is more forgiving when sitting in cold wind for 8 hours and have to quickly draw with stiff arms.

    I've shot traditional, hybrid, compounds, and crossbows. Personally I tried to be as accurate as possible with all. I hunt and I want to sure that I make a good clean kill shot and that's what I think is more important. In a survival situation being able to be more accurate and make a good kill shot either to put meat on the table or in self-defense is what matter most. In survival being able to think outside of the box and improvise and improve in definitely a good thing. So no complaints here. I say if it help you then more power to you. Good job.

    I would add a kisser button also. I don't care what traditional archers think. Whatever works for you. That's what's matters. A drop away rest could possibly also improve the accuracy. I shoot compound bow. Tight groups at 25m are pretty easy with compound bow. I'm a worse shooter with my air pistol.

    I have shot my recurve with a hunting/field sight and no peep with great accuracy.
    No need for the peep or the release if you practice with the pin sight only.

    If they don't like the accessories you use when you shoot just smile and wink at them. It is none of their business. I usually have an 8 inch square piece of gorilla grip drawer and shelf liner in my quiver. It helps get a better grip on the arrow to pull it out of the target. It also helps protect from slivers from beat up wood arrows. I also use it in the shop under wood I am cutting or routering to keep the wood from sliding.

      You can hear right at 2:37 that it is not a husband, issa wife. Further evidence would be that both arrows go in the targets the same amount and generally a husband would pull a higher draw weight than his wife.

    • @johndorian1644
      @johndorian1644 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I might disagree with you here...I shoot both traditional and compound. With a traditional bow, there is no let-off of holding pressure like a compound. With a recurve or longbow, the longer you aim, the longer you have to hold the weight back, which causes your muscles to tremble and makes your aim off. If you’re using a small-weight bow, no biggie. A big enough bow to hunt and do more than target practice, man you’re shaking while you aim. That’s like telling a sniper to be precise and then put him in the back of a truck on a gravel road...it just isn’t going to happen. I get her point, but literally decades of science and research says otherwise.

  • @ryandennis9007

    Lilly thank you so much for making this video. I live in Florida and there aren’t any traditional archery shops anywhere near me. Therefore I don’t have any help to fix my form, anchor, release, etc. I’ve shot traditional for a few years and just can’t get consistent on my own. So I just bought a sight for my bow. Hopefully it will help me get more consistent bc I don’t feel comfortable hunting with it currently without a sight. The trad archery’s may hate us but we will make more accurate ethical shots on wild game!

    Hello Lilly - great shooting. You may want to try a thumb or a single-jaw type of release. The one that you are using is prone to hanging up because the jaws don't always open properly.

  • @FrankEgyed
    @FrankEgyed 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've always wanted to shoot like Legolas... I've only been shooting a bit over a year, and very early in the piece I realised I couldn't hit the side of a barn with my recurve. So I reluctantly bought a (lots of moving bits ready to break) compound bow and tried it without the stupid extra piece of equipment destined to fail call a "release" and still couldn't hit the side of a barn. Yet with the release I could hit a 200mm target (deer kill-zone) consistently at 50m. So I put a D-loop on my recurve and used the release - OMG what a difference... (still not as accurate as the compound, but at least some consistency) I'd always planned to put a peep/sight on it, this video has motivated me - Thanks Lilly! :)

  • @1xayekim
    @1xayekim 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The nice thing about archery is that it is a choose your own adventure kind of pursuit. You can shoot this bow with or without all of the added components and if you are enjoying your experience that is all that matters. For me personally the reason why I shoot "traditional" off the shelf no sights, no peep, no release aids is that its a challenge. The first time I shot a compound bow I was hitting the 10 and 12s immediately it was like playing a game with all the cheat codes on for me personally I did not get anything from that experience. But shooting a longbow with no accessories puts very little between you and the tip of the arrow and its all on you if you fail or not.
    But just a bit of info if you plan on competing with a single string bow or plan on hunting in a traditional only hunting unit you cant have any of this on your bow other than the rest.

    Die Compoundjungs legen etwa 80% der Kraft am Trigger an, und die restlichen 20% damit der Schuss bricht ziehen die dann mit der Kompletten Hand nach hinten. Somit nimmt man die seitwärts Bewegung beim Abzug raus.

    Wondering why you are using a rubber band for the peep sight. If you would use a non elastic material like a center serving string, you would have an effective draw length control. That would be beneficial especially at larger distances.
