Great instructions. I used to shoot compound many years ago and wanted to get into recurve. My issue is finding tips on aiming without a sight.
It is not easy to develop that way of shooting, so you have to be dedicated to doing it. I'd first recommend working on having good form and clean proper release of the string. Once you get the mechanics down and muscle memory, then start focusing more on the shot placement. I'd recommend focusing your eyes on one small point on the target and do'nt take your eyes off of it. Focus on that point before you even raise the bow, then draw and continue to stare at that point. While at full draw and staring at that point, pay attention to your body as well, can you feel where to move your hand to? Sometimes I can and sometimes not. When I can, I move my hand to where it feels right all the while staring at that one small point on the target. Then your mechanics are crucial. You must properly execute the shot in order for the arrow to go where you are now aiming. If you can't feel where to aim, just keep focused on that point on the target and try executing the shot and seeing where it goes. Another technique is gap shooting where you look at the point of the arrow in relation to the target. YOu get familiar with where the point is when shooting at that distance and you seek to get the point close to that angle and area in relation to your target every time. Best of luck to you. God bless
once u get it its amazing i love instinctive shooting thinking of going instinctive with compound practice focus on a spot concept aim small miss small if your draw cycle is good and clean and consistant u should do well
Use the hand triangle method to determine left / right eye dominance. Then close the non dominant eye. Then practice practice practice.
@@seansoutdoors hey buddy , i was just wondering what is the name and style of your bow in the video . i just got one just like that one in the video and don't know anything about it. Also , it has no string either so i would like to fine the proper string for this bow. I research how to measure it and I got 57 inch I belive. If that helps. Thank you for any infomation you could give me. I want to try this now out soon. I hope you had a great thanksgiving
@@richardroberts7642 Recurve bow, this one is custom made by Jeffery archery, but I also have one made by Samac.
Thank you. My son and I got some beginner bows/arrows recently and we spent a few days practicing without any real knowledge. The last 6 minutes taught us more than 2 full days of blind practicing did. For such a short, simple video, it was very informative. Awesome! We appreciate the information.
Thanks. Be safe out there God bless you
First archery tutorial I ever watched a few years back. Re-watching it now with my daughter for the start of her archery journey. Such a good well round and quick tutorial that gave me every thing I needed to become a Archer. Much respect
Wow awesome! I also made a new one a week or so ago th-cam.com/video/NSft_qMMf-M/w-d-xo.html
very short and concise video literally the only video ive found talking about having the off coloured part of the arrow fletching needing to be on the outer side
Thanks. I am hoping to record another video or two on using recurve this summer, so hopefully you will stop back and watch those as I hope to give some more advanced tips. God bless you.
Have subscribed and look forward to more thanks!
Great, thank you as well! God bless you
Same here, thanks for that!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and God bless ya
I can say this is one of the few useful videos on how to shoot a bow for beginners out there, not too complex, pointed out everything a beginner needs to know.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I have been shooting a bear wolverine for a few months now. One tip I would give is make sure the knock on your string is correctly positioned. I drop my arrow placement 1/8 to 1/4 inch below the knock and it helped my arrow flight. I got the string and knock put on at a local archery shop but it isn't right. Also know the distance between the string and the riser. It is in the manual and it does matter. Other then that be consistent every time you pull the string back and don't over think it. Have fun I do every time I go shooting.
👍
Thanks so much for helping me Sean I am a rookie and I needed this perfect advice

Love how clear your instructions are!
Thank you!
I can't thank you enough for all of your videos. I have learned so much from you. I have hesitated for years to buy and shoot a recurve bow thinking I could never learn how to shoot it accurately. After watching your videos, I bought a Samick Sage and went shooting for the first time today. I had a fun beautiful day with my recurve. Found my anchor point within minutes, sighted in and was shooting great groups from 20 yards within minutes. Thank you thank you thank you so very much. I am definitely hooked on recurves now. :) I will continue to watch your videos and recommend them to others.
That is so wonderful! I'm happy to hear you had such a great time, and thank you also for wanting to watch more of my videos. God bless ya!
Great!! Thank You for taking the time to share this information. I have had a lifelong interest in Archery and will be getting back into it with a Recurve Bow after a 30 lapse. Will be following in step your follow-up videos. Again, Thank You!!!
Thanks. Good luck with it and God bless you
Sean’s book is well worth the read. I’ve found it very helpful. Many things I didn’t realize I was not doing or doing wrong.
Thank you! God bless ya
very helpful video for beginners, thanks for upload
You are welcome. God bless you
Thank you! I am 62 and just want to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow. It can get real confusing, real fast, with all the different types of bows, what size, and a host of other things I had no clue about. You give me a great place to start, that other videos did not. Well done!👊
That is great. This one may be helpful as well th-cam.com/video/V4TVh1F46kY/w-d-xo.html
Finally. Someone who actually talks about the different colored fletching. Eveeyone else is pretty arrogant but yku actually talked about thinf beginners (like me) need.
Thanks! God bless you
@@seansoutdoors stay safe out there homie!
This is an excellent beginners video. I haven’t shot in over twenty years and my daughter wants to learn. This will be a big help for both of us. Thank you.
Praise God! I’m happy to hear that. God bless you both in your endeavor.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures - Thanks. I bought my daughter a Bear Archery Firebird recurve as her first bow. The draw is a little heavy for her but she does love it. I’d like to get myself a new recurve bow but I’m on a budget. What would you recommend for under $150?
@@ironfae I personally like the Samick Sage, which is what I used on my pheasant hunt. Here is a link to one amzn.to/2KMvF53 and here is a link to the pheasant hunt th-cam.com/video/BG0zeEZ4vIo/w-d-xo.html
Began the video and got right to the point and explained everything simply enough for a beginner like my self to understand, great video man 👍 thanks for the info
Great, glad it helped
Awesome tips! Thanks much and that one tip about the fletching I believe was something I was doing wrong a bunch. It's been a long time since I've shot just because I felt I sucked so bad. I just needed some tips. I love archery!
Great! Enjoy it. God bless ya
I'm a sniper with a rifle or pistol. Just found out my daughter is into recurve. Now she gets to teach me. I love it. Women rock!
Awesome
Great tips, I just purchased a Hoyt RC bow and new to the sport.
I purchased it while working away from home so I haven't had time to set up and shoot. This video is a plus and I subscribed.
Awesome thank you. Enjoy the sport
No disrespect to any archer instructor but everyone can't properly teach. This guys is not one of them he clearly can teach . I'm going to definitely subscribe to his channel because he knows the science of archery. 🏹
Thank you, Marcel. That is very nice of you to say. God bless you.

Great
Thanks, considering taking up traditional archery, no frills or gadgets, informative video, looking at something like a Samick Sage to start with. Your easy manner makes things understandable.
That is great, and the Sage is a GREAT bow all around. I would definitely recommend them. Good luck with it and God bless ya.
No clue what I am doing right. But I have never had a string hit my arm.
Great
Tango Nevada that’s awesome! Because it hurts! Lol leaves a nasty welt and bruise too.
Same, except when I was at a camp and they made me go left handed, it hurt, I switched to a different bow and won the competition :P I was very happy (also in pain)
Just give it time
same here, think it may have grazed me but nothing bad
Saved your video to rewatch. Just what I needed. Thank you sir and God bless you too.
That’s great. Gif bless you too
Excellent tutorial. I want to get into bow and archery in general. I'm proficient in firearms shooting, and want to branch out now. Thanks for the intro.
Great, I'm glad it helped God bless you
I have recurves and am going to try to shoot one for next year,this is a big help.
Great
I really enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot from watching your videos.
Great! Thanks!
I have an old school compound and just traded a gun holster for a old one piece recurve. I wanna get into bows. Learning. Learned it's just as expensive as guns and ammo! Oh boy!
Lol
thanks Sean. your video was very informative. I just purchased my first recurve bow and I am just starting out. can't wait to get into it. thanks again
You're welcome. Enjoy it
Always re-viewing your vids Sean. Clear and unbiased.

Great I’m glad it helped. God bless you
Thank you for refreshing my memory.
My pleasure
I remember trying archery for the first time. I placed the fletching side towards the bow and got a 10
Great, but that will also ruin the arrow very quickly.
Thank you Sir! For this Very Great and Useful informative video😊😊😊😊
Great!
Thanks you do have a direct, likable, teaching style. Your accent sounds like my home state, new Jersey.
Thank you so much, Mark. Yeah, NJ. God bless you.

Excellent info. Thank you for taking the time to spell it out for us newbies.
Thank you
Do you recommend taking the string off the bow after every outing? I've read that it's not a big deal with laminate limbs. Also, great video!
I always do. It is a general practice that all the archers I’ve ever personally know uphold.
Wanted to get into recurve. I do compound now. Thanks for the info in this video brother
Sure thing
Thanks for the advice. I just got a compound bow for Christmas and needed to find out basics about any type of Archery. I understand this is not my type of bow, but the tips can be applied to basic archery.

Very informative video for a beginner such as myself, thanks!
Great! Glad it helped
Thanks dude this helped im new to archery got my first bow for christmas
Sure thing. Good luck and be safe. God bless ya
About the odd colored fletching...IF YOU BUY CHINESE ARROWS you are apt to find the knock sideways, making the odd colored fletching point to top of bow.
If it is a carbon arrow, then you can just rotate the nock to cause the odd color to face to the side.
Great video ...Just getting into archery .
👍
I've been looking at getting a recurve bow. I used to own compound bow's. I don't own a compound bow. I've been looking at the recurve bow. My draw length is 31 inches. I've been told that I need a 60" or 62". Every recurve bow I looked at has a 28" draw length. I'm not sure what to do?
If you want to hunt with it then you will likely use a 62 inch bow. If you are just doing target then get more like a 68 inch bow . Regarding draw length, you pull a recurve as long as you need to. The 28 inch draw is simply to let you know where the advertised draw weight is measured at. So if it says it is a 45 pound pull bow at 28 inches, you would add or remove draw weight depending on if your draw weight is longer or shorter than 28 inches. For you, you would add about two or three pounds per inch, so a 40 pound bow at 28 inches will be around 6 to 9 pounds heavier at 31, so between 46 to 49 pound pull.
@@seansoutdoors I want one for hunting. I understand it takes a lot of practice using a recurve bow.
I bought my bow, a 62lb pull Ragim Wildcat, before I had a motorcycle accident that shattered my left wrist (I'm left eye dominant, and have a left handed bow). I thought I would never be able to shoot again, until I was introduced to a wrist strap trigger. I was able to do a full draw with it! Any tips/info on shooting with a trigger would be appreciated. I eventually would like to hunt one day, probably waterfowl, maybe small deer. Thanks!
I find that it helps accuracy to use a peep sight and sight with a round housing. You line up the circle around the housing inside the round peep sight and that helps you aim the same way every time. God bless you.
Thank you for the useful information.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
Also, you don't want to rely on the arm guard. If you are consistently string slapping your guard you need to correct your form.
Don't listen to this person. Go look at Olympic archers and see that all of them hold their arm straight because they use their bone structure in order to be accurate, consistent, and absorb much of the draw weight. You will also see that almost all of them wear an arm guard because it's necessary when you use proper form on an Olympic level.
Hi, your teachings are very helpful to the people.
I would like to set my anchor point behind my ear.
Could you kindly show me how to shoot the recerve bow based on the anchor point behind ear?
Thank you very much.
Do not pull the string behind your ear, it could cut your ear off when you let go. If anything anchor the back of your hand back there but keep the string in front of your ear.
@@seansoutdoors
Thank you very much.
You are welcome
Great vid -Thank You!
Thanks so much, Jim! God bless you!
"I have a target over there!" HAHA!! Excellent video, man. Glad I found this, and checkin' out the others. I'm brand new to archery but, you made perfect sense. Some good advice here, and you show it as well as mansplain it. Thank you.
Thanks! God bless ya
Thank you. Concise and helpful video.
Thanks
Thank you for the great/clear advice! 🙏
My pleasure
Great video and extremely helpful. Thank you for posting
You are welcome, thanks for watching.
Soooo helpful, thank you.
Thank you! God Bless you.
Not quite sure I understand about the odd colored fletch away from the bow? can you explain?
Most arrows have 3 fletches. Two are the same color, the third is different. When you clip the arrow on the string you want the odd color to face away from the bow
I know this was 6 years ago and all but does anybody know if i can get away with just wearing a jacket whilst shooting to replace a wrist guard?
Probably not. Your bowstring could hit the sleeve and throw your shot off too.
Fantastic tutorial, learned something, thanks Sean.
Thanks, praise be to Jesus!
my brother
Amen
Awesome info thanks
You’re welcome . God bless ya
I use the foam like ones they work ok
👍
I’ve always shot compound bows. My sons also have compounds. I want to expand my abilities now and learn how to shoot a recurve also. I have a 31” draw with my compound bow. Is that the same with a recurve? My dad is 1/4 Blackfoot Indian. I thought I might impress him also by learning to use a recurve.
Thanks,
Eric
It will depend on how you anchor with finger shooting. In general, you may have a slightly longer draw length when finger shooting with a traditional bow. God bless
i’m 11 and want to get into archery so thanks
Awesome. God bless you
Helpful advice man . subscribed
Great! Thanks !
I could use your help. I’ve hunted all my life.
I used a bow up to about 15. I am now 70.
I want to shoot target or on a ranch with lot of turkey and deer.
Here’s the catch. I lost an eye my dominant eye ( left handed) I now have to learn to shoot right handed.
I don’t like compound bows. Looking to shoot a recurve or authentic Indian bow.
I don’t know where to start . My strength has always been left handed not as strong right handed. Not willing to give up .
How do I start. I’ve bought compounds for my kids and grandkids but just don’t like shooting a pulley.
Thanks any suggestions where to buy etc
I would buy a recurve bow that has interchangable limbs. There are many made that way now. You can get low draw weight limbs to start with and develop your form. As you improve, you can get a set of limbs to screw onto the riser with heavier draw weight. That way you just get a new set of limbs as you grow with it without having to buy a whole new bow. I hope that helps. God bless you
Hitting your arm with the knock is very painful and will bruise up almost instantly.
Ouch.
Yes it does
I have watched all kinds of videos about this subject and this one is the best by far. I would have liked it better if you strung the bow. I just bought my first bow, due to the ammo shortage and know nothing about it. I don't know if I bought a good bow or not, the one I bought is a 62" 45 pound take down from Cabela's it's called the Warden. Have you herd anything about it, good or bad?
I haven't, but I show how to string a bow In this video th-cam.com/video/V4TVh1F46kY/w-d-xo.html
MR Sean, may i know what kind of bow you use? I know it's traditional one but which brand, length, pound etc?
I'm using a Samac Sage, which is a 62 inch bow and I have 35 pound limbs. At my draw length I'm.shooting about 50 pounds .
Hi I just inherited a 62" Recurve bow and I'm looking for a string and arrows. Any good recommendations? Also great video I'll have to pick up an arm guard and glove
It is best to look up the manufacturer and get the recommended string length for that make and model. For arrows I'd suggest getting carbon arrows rated with the correct spine for your draw weight. They are the most durable arrow. Also I'd suggest feather fletching as opposed to plastic.
I'm looking to get a recurve bow.
Enjoy it.
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful!
You are welcome, Sarah. Thanks for watching. God bless you and Merry Christmas.
@@seansoutdoors You too! :)
I broke my arrow rest so I now shoot off the shelf but I have plastic arrows not feathered arrows would it majorly effect anything when I shoot.
If you get contract with the plastic veins on the riser it can definitely throw off your arrow flight.
Hi there, I just wanted to ask for some quick pointers, I'm starting archery lessons at a young age so..
I have an entire playlist on archer you should check out - th-cam.com/play/PL-rtLON_MVhN2OMGFmUvgbqrnjEEmrRhd.html
awesome amount of information ! .. Thank you !
Great! Glad you think so!
Don't you use finger sling? I saw you just had one finger in the bow, can someone tell me what is he doing, I'm interested in shooting with no sling
Most people who shoot olympic style archer use a finger sling but not typically when you shoot for hunting.
Thanks Sean,,
You are welcome
Does a bow and arrow have any advantage over a crossbow? Just generally wondering.
If you want to train yourself to excel in something, then archery can help you grow in self knowledge in ways that a crossbow cannot. Cross bows are easier to shoot, faster, and more powerful though.
i've got the same bow :D. I like it, but the draw wheigt of 45# is too much for me. i can shoot with it, but for training i will order the same with 35#. there is a huge performance increse, if you change to a 12' string
.
Awesome! Yeah, that is the nice thing about interchangeable limbs!
very helpful
Great
