After 20 years of shooting pistol and rifle, this video just changed the game for me as a new bow shooter. The best example I can give is that at 70 yards, trying to focus on the front sight I only hit the target 2/6 times. Following this instruction, I was 6/6 with three in the kill zone. Fantastic instruction.
When shooting pistols and rifles, you're supposed to focus on the target and let the front sight blur out. Thats why you started shooting better. You finally, after 20 years, learned how to aim your gun.
@@sjeverett75 according to every military and law enforcement firearms instructor (of which I am one) in the USA, you focus on your front sight. That’s why we teach “front sight, front sight, slack, pause, squeeze” to new recruits. I don’t know where you learned to shoot, but you have a lot to learn.
@@sjeverett75 Hahaha!

Chad, I was thinking the same thing. This is just the opposite of how i was trained in pistol shooting. Why is archery opposite for handgun? Which one is right? Do I need to change my pistol focus or my archery focus? Well, time to go to the ranges and experiment.
Josh, I've been shooting/hunting with a bow since 1963, before the compound was invented. Done it all and I wish every archer in the world could see your learning videos BECAUSE you and your techniques are 100% the best. 👍👍🔥
Thank you so much Tim! I’m happy to help and share what I’ve been fortunate to learn with others.
You are focusing 100% on the camera😅
I just want to make sure you are paying attention! haha
@@BowOnlyOutdoors 😂
@@BowOnlyOutdoors it works
Iv won multiple tournaments..what he's saying is correct
😂😂😂
1000% correct.
I was taught this many many years ago by a Hoyt team member.
Changed my Hunting Career forever
You do a great job explaining the "why" of aiming this way and then making the "how" make sense after.
Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.
I’ve been shooting for a year now only focusing on the pin. After watching this video I went to the range and focused only on the target. Amazing difference! Thank you!
That's a really good tip I've been shooting bows for a long time and it does make a world of difference to just focus on your target
Just did my first shoot today and found I was doing better when I focused on the target instead of the pin. Very happy to hear that experienced archers use this method as well. Great video!
Bro but how will you aim if the pins get blur
@@Aryan-py8lk wondering if they focus on the pin first just to make sure it is on the bullseye, then don’t move at all and focus on the target?? I’m new to this but it’s awesome never needing to chase arrows because they always hit within 6” and I can’t even be “good” after only like 50 shots so far
Ur
Getting into archery this year. Very helpful and informative man. Thanks!
Coming from a recurve I was wondering what I was looking for while shooting my compound. I will give this a try! Will see how this works for me tomorrow!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!
I HAVE ALWAYS HUNT WITH CROSSBOW THIS WILL BE MY FIRST YEAR BOW HUNTING AND IM GLAD I CAME ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!
Brilliant advice has lifted my game
Great video! I recently saw Joel Turner talking about this same thing in his ShotIQ course as well. It’s made a huge difference in my accuracy.
I tried this today, it actually does help a lot
Awesome video. This helps a whole lot. Thank you!
Great advice! After a few minutes letting my eye get comfortable with the focus shift, I shot groups half the size of my previous ones, now I'm shooting the same accuracy but 20yards further! Keep it coming!!!
Thank you soooo much man!!! Definitely trying this tomorrow!!!
Thank you for this. Very helpful, I’m new to bow hunting
Thanks for the tip. I’m definitely gonna work on that technique.
In new to this and this is very helpful. I’ll definitely keep this in mind next time I go out.
This makes so much sense. Definitely trying it tomorrow. Thank you fornposting this
Thank you. That information really works!
Im going to share this video in a group Im a part of. Very simple but important. I didn't give it too much thought but I will now!
Great information, didn't realize how much that helps!!!
Thanks for the advice it means much to me. 😁👍👍
Thank you for the tips! I’m new to archery and Il definitely have to try this next time I shoot.
This makes a lot of sense I’m going to give this a try thank you
Great advice and makes since. I tell children to focus on whatever it is they're aiming for. The bowling pin you want to hit, where you want the golf ball to land, the basketball basket, the place you want your baseball to go etc. And this doesn't just apply to sports. Whatever you focus on that is ahead of you is how you can accurately achieve getting to that point or goal. Again, great advice and helped me tremendously with aiming and shooting my bow.
Thank you so much! I reach a point in which i could not understand what I have to do to improve precision an this video really helped me a lot!
Cheers for this precious tip🙏
I still have to work on, already being on what Im about to shoot, but this video makes all of the sense! I had stopped using a bow in 2005 because of injuries. Just got back into it last year. For me, it wasn't like "riding a bike". Lol. It was literally like learning something new. I harvested last year with it. But still felt like something was wrong. I watched this vid (along with some others you posted) 2 weeks ago and started trying this technique. I can already see and feel the difference. Thanks for sharing. I also respect the disclaimer at the beginning.
Thank you this makes so much sense.
thank you so much for the advice went from hits all over the target at 20 yards( I am new to this) to hitting 2-3 inch groupings almost immediately you just got yourself a new subscriber
Love to hear that! Glad it Helped!
Good tips! Thanks!
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome video man! I appreciate it.
This improved my shooting significantly, not just with my bow but also with my black powder iron sights... Thank you!
Thank you Tim!
Thanks man, this really works
Great advice mate thank you!
This is the only video that actually got me hitting 1-2 inch groups with my bow I used to hit ALL over the target I watched this video and then I went out the next morning and was hitting dimes now I consistently hit dimes thank you man
Amazing! Great shooting!
Focusing on the target. Aiming elevation from the hip. And consistent firm anchor has helped me the most. I ain't a dead eye but 99% of the time at 20 to 40 I can hit that 6" circle
Good information! Basically the same idea as the split vision method for trad shooting.
This works for me as well. I thought that it was just because I grew up shooting instinctively. I never told anyone about it, because I thought I would be ridiculed. I assumed most compound shooter aimed just line they do with a rifle.
Epic video! Thanks so much
Thanks for the help ☺️
Well said! Thanks for the advice.
My pleasure! I'm glad it was helpful!
This is solid advice and something I’ve said in the past. But you said it best. Your eye battles for focus between the pin and your target. GIVE THE WIN OF THAT BATTLE TO THE TARGET AND LET YOUR PIN HOVER/cover slowly squeeze. Great stuff brother keep up the great tips!!
Well said! Thank you so much!
As I am new to bow hunting, this helps me a lot and something to work with. Thanks
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the confirmation. New shooter, just started this week. You are 100% correct. When I focus on the black circle on target it bullseye. (I color the center black) I Didn't know why i made a great shot. Thinking back there was allot less movement. In fact i was really relax.
So kind of like shooting a rifle. Just got a bow and I do focus on the pin a whole lot. Great video, brother.
Thanks soo much helped me become more consistent and accurate
That's great advice thanks
Awesome. Thank you!
Such a helpful video!! I'm a total newbie at archery and can't wait to try this at the range
I hope you find it helpful! Thank you for the kind words!
Solid content, keep up the great work!
Finally some real advice that makes sense.
I just can thank you so much
You are precise and not confusing
Your english is very clear
Many thanks ,i will try
I am an veteran archer 53 yrs i want to pursue this sport
Pls post some shortcuts like this🙏
Nice advice! Good video!
Son & I are new in archery !!
Thank you ❤️
thanks i did not realize i was doing that just went and tried and it helped
Sick! I’d love 30 minutes of shooters with Josh. Thanks!
WOW!!!! EXCELLENT INFORMATION THANK YOU
I just got a bow tune from my shop and I asked him to take a quick look at me shot process. He was cool enough to help and saw one thing that I needed to know badly. So the only thing he said was just hold my shot position until the arrow hits the target. That tightened my groups and increased my dot accuracy. So simple
Finally a video that shows me what to do with this thing that came attached to my bow!! I like how you show with your camera looking through it as you would when you use it, explain how to do something and why. I am subbed liked, alarmed and commented as you can see. LOL I have only shot once and I hit the target board, (side of a barn sized thing) but could not find the place where I was supposed to be hitting. Now I know why I don't feel so bad and am ready to have at it again with more confidence. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Yip... Hitting barrels are a lot easier (LOL)
@@dantevanniekerk I'm so new at this, I'd need a barn door! LOL
Great video! thanks for the tip!
You're welcome! Hope it helps!
Dude! You literally changed my life today. Yesterday I was just spraying the bag. This morning I went out immediately after watching your video, changed my point of focus and started stacking arrows in one on top of the other! Thank you so much for posting this!!!
I love to hear it! So glad you found it helpful! Happy shooting and Goodluck this season.
Spraying the bag...? To easy 😂❤ happy hunting.
smooth man. the ending was smooth.
Nice and easy setup
Dude solid!!
nicely done young fella
Great Tipp! Thanks :)
Awesome video 😎 thanks
New Sub Sir.
Thank you for you great insight. I’ll be trying this at the range tonight. I’m not new to compound bow shooting, but not old either.
Any and all of your insights and tips for my improvement is greatly appreciated.
As an aside, I do hope that you and all of your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during these crazy times. Should anyone unfortunately have become ill, I hope and pray for a speedy and full recovery.
Cheers,
Dave from Toronto
Thank you very much! Hopefully this helps you out, let us know if you have any questions! - Micah

Will do Sir.
Cheers
I like how you explain what your talking about with the video. Pretty cool how you blurred out the pins and target to explain.
Thank you! I like to teach with the way that makes the most sense to me that gives me the ability to easily understand. Hopefully this helps you visually learn better than by just listening to what I have to say. Thanks for watching!
I will go out today and give this a try with my new bow. Because that sounds exactly what im going thru. Thank you for the tips. I'll update later with my new results. 👍
Hope it helps!
Thanks. I'm gonna try this for sure. I just got back into shooting after a 5 year hiatus due to shattering my humerus in 2015. I seem to have lost what skills I had. I'm all over the target and can't keep still. Never had that problem before. Hope it can help me.
Yep, great tip. I figured out the same thing a few years ago.
This is excellent content
Best disclaimer ever!! ❤ Try new stuff, but do what makes you better
Thanks for the tip. What you said makes sense. Cant wait to try this. I missed my chance at a monster buck because i was focusing too much on getting the correct pin to align last year, wind change direction, it caught my scent, and booted.
Dang it! Sometimes those scenarios create the best learning situations. Wishing you the best of luck in this upcoming seasons and hope you get a good one!
Night and day difference. Instant improvement. Thanks.
Going to try this tomorrow
Good tip thanks
Great content, well explained. Keep it up. 👍😎👍
Very true! Bow should follow ur eye!
This is great advice and it works. I’ve also heard some bow hunters say that they use the top of the pin itself as the area to put on their intended target instead of having the pin cover the bullseye. While others say they cover the bullseye
Great video and explanation!!!
Thank you!
Love your videos!
Thank you!!
I completely forgot about this! I remember hearing about this when I was shooting my best 15 years ago. Just got back into shooting my bow and forgot. Yes! Focus on the target. Damn did my groups improve today! Awesome video and great tip! It just felt so natural to focus on the pin when youre in the moment. But this helped alot.... again! Damn i feel like im getting old, I completely forgot to focus on the target.
Just found your channel. Great content! You got yourself a new subscriber!
Thank you!
Thanks very much I will try this I been trying to use the pin and it’s very very hard
Thank you very good video
Insaaaane grouping!! Will definitely have to try this out
It feels funny at first but without a doubt this is the way. Even your bad shots aren’t bad when you get this method down to a habit
Your instructions must be very helpful for all archers in whole wide world.. Thanks a lot😊
Thank you, man! Nice video 😋
You’re welcome! I’m glad it’s helped you!
Nice information and flag.
Great shooting man!
Thank you!
I find this true because when I shot before I seen this I was all over the place thank you
This helps a lot well explained, well executed, and that close up at the end show's some result; for those who doubt, pay attention to the foot steps, you'll notice the distance ;) Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much! I’m glad you found it helpful.
