Wow I felt so chill while watching this, you're like the archery Bob Ross. Thanks for the refresher, great video.
How good was it as a refresher!
Im planning on buying my first recurve and watching his videos are really helping because they’re more about technique and he’s usually chill unlike other videos I’ve seen from other creators
Well, I was about to go shooting again this afternoon after the winter break, how convenient you summed up all of the basics for me once more.
Edit: Beginners, be sure to turn the arm that holds the bow outwards or the string will hit your arm. You'll hit your arm a few times, but pain is a quick teacher :p
Thank you! I just shot a bow today for the first time in about 30 years and was wondering what I was doing wrong. Ouch!
Or buy yourself an arm guard, there are plenty of sizes and different styles available , and don’t buy one that is too short! They do a great job of protecting your inner arm. 👍
This is a really great if not the best straight forward “shooting a bow” tutorial out there. He doesn’t over complicate things. I like that.
I dont mind an hour video on basics of archery make it 3 hrs pls ;)
learn it step by step, so you can understood very well
Tried crossbow 7 years ago and got into bulls eye. Tried it again 7 years later with a bow and I feel I should do archery as a hobby. There's no classes close to me so gotta learn on my own. I am happy I found this channel.
Excellent video on the basics. It doesn't appear that your eyes are looking at the arrow tip down at the grass (gap) when you shoot. You seem to be instinctively "aiming" the bow/arm at the target down in front of you with your body properly bent towards it.
I would love to watch an hour of this.
You could repeat it 3 times should be fine
Watching this simple guide made me realize my P.E. teacher was absolutely not qualified to teach us how to shoot a bow. Everything from the beginning to the end was flawed. She taught us to draw back from really high up. She taught us to "forcefully let go of the string to shoot" with a "you shoot by pulling your hand backwards fast" (Meanwhile NUSensei says simply to let go of the string.) The posture aswell, and she didn't tell us a single thing about the proper muscle usage and shoulder lock during the aim. After 10min of shooting entire class was tired. It was a longtime ago, so those are the only flawed instructions i remember her giving us. But dare i say NUSensei is the gift of god to us from beginners to veterans. Wanted to get back to archery, but clubs are closed right now, so i keep binge watching every single video of his and take notes ^^ Thanks for making these videos !!
How do I make sure I pull The string correctly and release it without making my bow snap in half?
How to aim makes so much sense now! Thank you!!
Great video im so pissed, i bought a 50lb thinking it would be easy. I cant get a full draw. But i may be able to buy new limbs online
I just bought my first bow.
Thanks for your videos.
Hi Sensei I'm new to archery, my draw strength is 30. I like the Samick sage recurve bows. Is this a good entry level bow? I'm 6ft tall what size should I get?
Great video thank you. I just bought a Spyder recurve based on one of your other videos. I have a question about knocking the arrow on the string. Do I make the arrow perfectly perpendicular to the string? or do I go a little higher so the fletch clears the rest when released?
People often set their nocking point a little higher - up to 1/4 inch above centreline.
@@NUSensei Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Great channel
Perfect -- exactly what I needed for quarantine archery -- hoping to get to an archery school once I can, but I wanted to get started during the quarantine. Thank you!
I started archery in the beginning year, to the club. Thanks to my father for this, Now I have a goal in my life, to be a Professional Archer
Planning on getting into archery as a new hobby. Got my gear, performance anxiety is keeping me from actually going to a range and trying. This helped ease the fears a little by explaining some of the nuances my brain loves to stick to. Big love, friend!
Might be worth discussing why you use a right or left handed bow. I'm right handed but left eyed, so shoot left handed.
I've got several videos on that. This is really just meant to be a 10 minute quick start video on the first shot.
This could not have been more relevant to me...I just bought the OMP Adventure 2.0 from Hunting-Bow yesterday, using your promo code, and when it gets here I plan to teach myself as well as I can while my state is sheltering in place. Perfect timing! And since I've already watched so many of your videos, thanks for all of the great content!
Hello! Wen through a lot of your videos, beautiful depiction of this passion. Quick question, is the Geologic Club 500 a good bow? In terms of quality/durability. Thank you!
thank you, very simple instructions, I'm new and I'm using a 45 LB bow. Me Great Hunter , yes ??
Hmm... I just learnt that the arrow should be knocked UNDER that steel ball thingy on the string.
This was incredibly helpful!
I am very much the sort of learner that needs to both hear an explanation and see the example and this was so very calm and measured with several repetitions that I feel I could reproduce the video myself after one watch. Thank you for your teaching.
I’m here for school but I actually really like this guy, mostly becuase the teachers at school have no idea what they are doing. Good job NU
Thank you!! Really helpful quick start. I had 1 archery lesson a couple years ago and got frustrated because my aim was bad and I kept shooting too high or even over the target. Now I know why. Just tried out my new bow after watching your tutorial and hit the target every time!
I have a home made bow, and I was wondering why it was shooting so high, turns out, I'm an idiot
I’m getting a bow in a couple months and im so excited to learn!! thanks for sharing all your tips, theyre super helpful 😄
Hello Nu Sensei, I would like to ask about breathing while take a shot. Should I hold my breath or something? Thank you.
I wanted to start I was all ready then the club closed down, thank you for everything's I still don't know where to go to get my bow, the site you was a sponsor is all out of stock so which welsh/UK site is best.
Press tab until the bow shows up in your hand, click and hold left mouse button until bow is at full draw, place the crosshair on the target with the mouse, release left mouse button. It‘s easy, where is the problem? 😝
Thanks alot, this helped curing some shoulder Pain after my first session
I wish I watched this before I learned the hard way. Once I figured out how to aim just by keeping both eyes open and aiming low I started hitting. Also shooting a 50 lb recurve is not the best to start on but thats what I have.
Just bought me a COVID bow. This is some good advice. Thanks so much.
I have very new to Archery and have been practicing at home using a adult beginner bow 22 pounds draw weight. Im getting fairly consistent with my shots. But i notice that the string when i draw is not alligned with the bow. And if i try to align my aim gets messed. I am a left hand shooter. No aim sight
Thank you. Most intructive tutorial , lots of great info..
Love you're videos helped me so much with using my recurve bow 🏹🎯
Looking to take up a more traditional setup to start bowfishing this summer, coming off only ever having shot high let off compounds for several years. What obstacles should I expect to encounter transitioning from compound to recurve for the first time
Is David Nguyen printed on your T shirt your name?
Thankyou, this was very helpful.
i havent touched my bow in a year, this is just what i needed!
watched this twice. i think.. i'm ready
For hunting how long should someone be able to hold a bow steady at full draw???
Thanks to this video I shot my first arrow, thanks a lot!
4:36 you got me. I've been doing this. thanks for the tip on anchoring. it really helped.
Your videos are very informative. Thank you!
That was SO helpful! Thank you!
Here for school gym 😭
Bruh u have the coolest gym teacher if they assigned this.
I started shooting a recurve bow days ago my arrows go to the right most of the time...n im not sure how to correct it...
You're the Best Archery teacher ı ever seen, ı am going to start Archery because of you. Thank you for everything!!
To do the three finger under the arrow draw, do you need to string walk and adjust the tiller for that?
I’ve watched quite a few of your videos new and old. I watched this one before going to the range today, 7th time out and this video improved my grouping along with the elbow turn tip in your string slap video. You are pretty damn good and I thank you.
Cảm ơn anh David Nguyen nhiều.
I am looking about getting into the hobby, looking to maybe heading into the hunting arena if I enjoy. Any club recommendations for Victoria? I am located in outer Melbourne Suburbs.
Thanks Nu for the instructional video! Keep up the good work 👍
Look up the Archery Victoria website for a list of clubs.
This is going to help me for my brand new archery set!
My first bow is coming this week! I bought one after watching Sensei and doing my diligent research into a bow that will fit me. I feel that when this lockdown is over I will have a better understanding and more confidence in myself going into the club for the first time. Thank you so much Sensei for much needed courage. Because of where I live, I decided to get foam broad arrow tips for home practice. So say someone's cat or dog comes out of nowhere, I will not kill it. This is not the rubber broad tip that I almost bought because I thought that wouldn't be lethal, was I ever wrong! As one newbie to another, research everything you are going to get for your bow before you buy! Again Sensei, thank you for drilling this into my head. :)
I have my bow now for some weeks and also watched some of your other videos before. Somehow I missed this one and must say its really helping me.
I have been binge watching you and using this lock down to learn something iv always wanted to do thank you for the grade a content.
Yeah! i alsow got a bow (for my birthday, from my father in law). Standart basic 35lb bow. With no arrow rest. My left hand (which iam holding the bow) is really hurt from the arrows, and the arrows fly out with an angle.. the arrow plumage hitting my hand and my bow. I think from what i read, a have a wrong Spine of the arrow. I Got 32" Beast hunter Carbon evolution 340.
a think they are too hard. do 600-700 spine make a big difference? Thank you! (sorry for possibly stupid english :D )
I've just started watching your videos about a week ago and I appreciate it so much and I finally get to pick up a new hobby I've always wanted to do. Keep up the good work.
Awesome. Thank you!
The bowstring makes a "boing" sound when i shoot it
You need silencers
I dis this and nearly cut my arm open!
Your training is showing results sensei.
Great intro. Thanks
Mine is 40 lbs and im only 14 years old
thanks mang. Well done.
what about the dry fire??
Thanks for this useful info!
Hi I was wondering I'm right handed but left eye dominant when I shoot rifles I shoot on my left shoulder would the same apply for bows?
The conventional advice is to lean towards eye dominance for the most natural shooting. There's an argument for using handedness for target shooting, but most people will pick up archery faster using their stronger eye.
Great intro. Thanks
Lliiike i have a question tho what am i doing wrong if i kinda brushed the tip of my nose with my bow string am i standing incorrectly because i cant figure it out?????? And no one on my archery team knows and the coaches dont really help at all
Your head may be turned too far.
My bow is no the way now to organise a target
Great instruction
Too much rambling on
Are you vietnamese
lol I have the same riser
2020 not a good year
Great video.
Very good, very helpful, thank you for producing and posting!!!
Thank you!
Hi nu. I've picked up archery about a week ago. 100 arrows a day rufley. It feels great but I do have a issue with my aim. For some reason I can't get my hight right when I do shoot with one eye closed. If I open both eyes to aim I can get way more precise. Is this very wrong to do and should I just need to learn shoot with 1 eye or is it OK to shoot with both eyes. It might be because I'm use to shooting Airsoft pistols and rifles with red dods for years and there you also keep both eyes open.
@@robinj6997 that's exactly what I feel like. Cool. Good to know I'm doing it right
draw it back
Safety FIRST, SAFETY First! Would have preferred safety mentioned in the first minutes and not at the backend of an otherwise very useful video.
Legend
Very nice video, thx. 😊
I was on and off abut the archery for a while now, because of the other things and obligations in my life, but you finaly pushed me on 😊
As soon as this virus thing is over, I am going to the shop and I am finaly getting me a bow. Thx man and keep up the good work. 😊
P.S.
Sorry for the bad english 😊
good 👍👍
Thanks for the Vid. As always, super clear and positive explanation.
Since lockdown I've been getting more bow time and with an eye on your videos my groupings are coming down really nicely
By biggest concern is because I'm Big'n'Tall if I anchor Finger to Mouth my draw ends up 32+ inches, the bow (Black Hunter) stacks out and consistency goes out the window.
Consequently I anchor the 1st joint of my thumb in to the hollow of the cheek bone below my right eye, which brings my draw down to just over 30 inches and the bow seems happier.
Can you give any tips for us Big'n'Tall what to do about over drawing? Is what I'm doing OK or should I consider another way?
My apologies if you've addressed this in another vid.
Many thanks. 👍
Greeting sensei... Do you have video about why arrow don't fly straight. I mean when i release the arrow, it landed at the target with various angle. Why this happen? Please help me thank you
Thanks, this was exactly the intro I was looking for. Now I think I can avoid all the major beginner F-ups.
Very important for the true newbs: do NOT try this without an arrow! "Dry firing" can cause damage to your bow and to you!
Great tutorial , just getting into Archery and I'm disappointed it took me this long but I'm going all in
Wee question: recurve bow with plastic fletching arrows. Arrow 'kicks' right on release then straightens, or tries to. Now shooting off a Hoyt rest so should not be striking the shelf. I suspect it still is. Help?
Hello - I started to "shoot" myself, however my compund bow does not allow me to attach arrows on a string - they only way for me to shoot is by holding both arrow and string, but I'm certain it affects my aim and sometimes I even drop my arrow while letting go - are there certain accesories to thicken the string in arrow spot or I simply have a crappy arrows? (I'm very newbie yet and my budget was somwhere near 200 bucks)
Nu Sensei. Could you make a video about vane/fletch position on the shelf and stick on arrow rests? I have a bow I am shooting off the shelf, but am thinking about buying a rest. Nowhere can I find info about vane position apart from "index out for recurve". Not all my index vanes are in the same position in relation to the nock though....
Great videos by the way! Really helpful!
Just started a day ago ..my fingers are paining a lot ..is it common ?
Soreness is normal. Sharp pain is not. If you're not used to doing physical work with your fingers, then it's not unusual to require time for your fingers to strengthen. Many people will also experience blisters and form callouses to toughen the skin. But if it's really bad pain, I'd be cautious of whether you may have incurred nerve damage.
Excellent video David. It was super helpful, especially since formal training is hard to come by in my area. Do you recommend a sight when first starting out. If so, what beginners sight would you recommend. Also where would you suggest I purchase arrows and how do I determine length and type. My starting kit came with 31” 500 grade arrows. Wasn’t sure if that was good. Thx again
You explain things way better than that Swedish guy did. "Point don't aim". To hell with him.
Thanks David. I've watched a few of your videos and am going ahead with my plan to get (back) into archery. I've chosen to buy the Samick Sage with a full package from a nearby dealer here in Canada for about $300 CAD. I'm hoping you have more lesson type videos! Cheers, Phil
wow!!! thank you, planning to buy a bow & saw your video -- good one to start with --- thanks for the tips
lol or you got t-rex arms so the 30 pound bow only has about 25 effective weight
How did you know? I’ve already contacted my local archery club. :) Your videos have helped me quite a lot to get many of the basic concepts. I’ll use the current situation to work on my fitness level and drool over the nice recurve bows you are using. Definitely won’t get a Bear Takedown as my first bow. I’ll see what is used at my club and move on from there. Anyway keep up the great work!!
