Jim, thanks for a great video as always. Can't wait to hear /see how you do at the Worlds. I'm sure it goes without saying good luck and no matter how you do have fun. Remember that's why most if not all of us got into archery especially stick bows was/is to have fun and enjoy. Alan
Hi there, I just stumbled upon your videos having just picked up traditional archery this year. Just wanted to say I really enjoy them and the way you host them. Ignore the haters and keep doing what you do it's appreciated.
Hi Jim Came across your video's through merlin archery. Just had to say no I don't do archery. Not yet anyway. But listening to you talking about the people who say negative things about traditional archery in one of your previous video's . Just let them get on with it , they haven't got any thing else better to do. Doesn't matter what hobby / sport you do there will always be people like them out there. Ps love your video's. And to see you out with your friends having fun it's what it's all about . And nice shooting. Regards Paul
Hello Jim! I love your videos of you philosophing 'bout trad. archery as well as your reviews! You helped me a lot to get into it :) Could you do a review of the Ragim Golden Eagle? Since I'm considering of getting one and couldn't find any review of it on the internet.... Thanks in advance and greetings from Austria!
As a new beginner to archery i really cant understand how one can be so accurate and say one doesnt aim i just cant understand it. I cant even gap at a fixed distanse at 18 meter or 20 yards that accurate
Hi Jim, I have a question for yourself or anybody else who is interested,.. Does the NFAS consider a "thumb ring" as used thousands of years ago as a "release aid?" And which category.. bb, ht, fs etc do they fall into.
I am looking for a new bow but I don't know what is a good option, I have some experience with archery and by budget is 200 euros. Can someone help me out? ps. Very nice video!!!!!

Jim - It seems you like the Striker Sport and Classic over your Bodnik Signature Stick? How come? Does the Bodnik not meet 3D Worlds requirements and rules. Performance issues. Please explain. Thanks!
Specifically why? Bodnik deflex reflex design (string touch limb) vs. a basic D-bow shape? Wood grain beauty marks that may help one aim better and potentially cheat during competition or just another bow chosen? Thank you.
Jim, why do you say you can't use a quiver with that bow? Do you mean there is a physical characteristic of that bow that prohibits the use of a quiver? Or were you referring to not being able to use a quiver for Worlds??
Hi! Great video! I know I’m two years late, but just a question regarding the WA rules for longbow. Isn’t a 58” bow a bit short for competing in the longbow class? Or did you use it in the instinctive class? :-)

I’ll have to take back my question. Heard in the video after you competed in another class. :-)
Jonas Hellsén that’s correct. I shot a longbow in the instinctive class 😅
4 ปีที่แล้ว
Archery Adventures Then you should still be proud. As you said, the “instinctive” class mostly shoot GAP-shooting, with 3 piece recurves and arrow rests and s**t...:-) I used to shoot in that class with my WhiteFeather/Uukha recurve, but from the shelf, instinctively with split finger and glove. At best that gave me a forth place in the National Championship here in Sweden (Field archery). I now gone completely to the longbow class with wooden arrows and my beloved Black Widow longbow. It’s somehow soooo much more fun when you hit instinctively. I don’t think you can compare that feeling with anything in the archery world. Anyhow, have a lovely evening! Of to do some archery blogging. :-)
Jim, how can you drive, talk and film all at the same time? ;) Also, do you at least feed you guitar player? Good luck in the 3D World's, we will be pulling for you!
Another great video Grizzly. I'm slowly getting up to date with your videos which I learn something from from everyone. I have arthritis in most areas of my body so will never get up to 50lb bows but looking at 35lb AFB which with my 30" draw length should make it around 39lb. Do you think this will be OK for field, 3d and stumping. Looking at the Bear Paw black foot as it is a very smooth draw. Would love to know what you think.
nice vid my brother! one question,what was served as food at the end on that plate? looks like giant mushrooms? if so is that allowed in Archery events? ;)
Good luck in the world's Jim. Quick question if that's alright. I'm quite inexperienced, but got the impression, the shorter a bow is, the harder it is to shoot consistently accurately. If I'm wrong, could you set me straight please? If I'm right, why are you taking such a short bow to a competition please?
Thanks. Bought an original SF axiom riser in the hope it helps me if I decide to try a barebow competition sometime. I figured it might help me against people that are probably using that sort of equipment. My current bow is a ragim black bear. Extremely light as well as short. Shoulder been playing up too, so I will be able to lower draw weight easily in small stages of I have to. I think I will sell the black bear now I know. Thanks for the reply.
Good luck at the champs Jim!
Great video Jim , that's what it's all about having fun and good friends. You'll be fine at the 3D just relax and enjoy 👍👍👍
Good shooting, love to hear the sound of an arrow being launched from a traditional bow. Really nice looking bow.
Jim, thanks for a great video as always. Can't wait to hear /see how you do at the Worlds. I'm sure it goes without saying good luck and no matter how you do have fun. Remember that's why most if not all of us got into archery especially stick bows was/is to have fun and enjoy. Alan
Good luck Jim. Do a video of the worlds- would be great to watch!
Man your videos are so serene, I love it.
Great video! that course looks like a whole lot of fun!
Practice, practice, practice and bring back a win. May the paradox be with you!
Hi there, I just stumbled upon your videos having just picked up traditional archery this year. Just wanted to say I really enjoy them and the way you host them. Ignore the haters and keep doing what you do it's appreciated.
Tyler Thomson thank you 🙏
Good luck on your 3D shoot mate, may the best man win.

"I'm really looking forward to it, actually. . ." --of course you are!!
Good luck man!
Cares more about the roast dinner than world's. True English lad. Awesome video keep up the good work.
In another tab I'm reading about my favorite sport - ice hockey - and I tab in and see your friend wearing an old Mighty Ducks shirt. Noice.
Again good luck at the world 3D unlike your friend Darren I can't use my Barnett blackspur crossbow because of spinal problems.

That is a lovely bow my friend. By the way I think someone has gotten their moneys worth out of those 3 D targets. Best to you in the Championships.
3D Archery Greg, they drive on the other (wrong) side of the car like a reverse photo. It's like always being in the fast lane. :-)
As a new beginner to archery i really cant understand how one can be so accurate and say one doesnt aim i just cant understand it. I cant even gap at a fixed distanse at 18 meter or 20 yards that accurate
Anyone know where this course is in the Wye Valley??
Hi Jim, I have a question for yourself or anybody else who is interested,.. Does the NFAS consider a "thumb ring" as used thousands of years ago as a "release aid?" And which category.. bb, ht, fs etc do they fall into.
Royal CODpiece Good question!
I’ll have to look into it for you buddy :)
Thanks for the swift reply bro
Is it actually allowed to shoot a crossbow in the woods in the UK?
Google is your friend.
Kai Klostermann depends on the woodland and organisation :)
I am looking for a new bow but I don't know what is a good option, I have some experience with archery and by budget is 200 euros. Can someone help me out?

i dont believe he can use it in the competition

JeffBullseye there is decoration on the belly of the bow, on the signature stick, they deem that possible to be used as a sighting aid.
Thank you A&A. Something to be aware of.
Hmmmmmm
Good luck!
7:15 ufo on the left ? :P
What pound bow do you shoot?
Spencer Bradley right now anything between 45 and 50 lbs
Where is this filmed? I live in the Wye valley.
Striker bows, gorgeous bows. Hideious Fucking logo!
Jim, why do you say you can't use a quiver with that bow? Do you mean there is a physical characteristic of that bow that prohibits the use of a quiver? Or were you referring to not being able to use a quiver for Worlds??
Caleb Wright not being able to use one at the world... :( but I get my boy back tonight and the first thing I'm doing is slipping on the old Selway ;)
Archery Adventures Thanks for the reply Jim!

Any Grizzly Jim t-shirts for sale?
Mark F i've got something in the pipeline ;)

i Cryostorm
No duh, that was the joke!
ahh sorry forgot that you have the dry wit of a marine :P
i Cryostorm
Oh sure, now you insult me, calling me a Marine. I was a Paratrooper:)
it always works ... 1000...2000....3000 ...4000 .
Nicely done fella, shame I couldn't make it. P.s ditch the Bear T! You're a Striker boy now!! Hahahah 😘

Whats with these badass thumbnail pics, Grizzly Jim?
What can I say? I’ve got some talented friends lol
I blame you for my liking flatbows and such now. First the the cottonmouth now this striker sport.
nice vid my brother! one question,what was served as food at the end on that plate? looks like giant mushrooms? if so is that allowed in Archery events? ;)
Good luck in the world's Jim.

You're not wrong buddy... short bows do tend to be a little twitcher. But at the end of the day it's just all about what works for you :)
Thanks. Bought an original SF axiom riser in the hope it helps me if I decide to try a barebow competition sometime.

I think I will sell the black bear now I know.
Thanks for the reply.
Hi Jim - good luck at the World 3Ds. Do you know if "Wolfie" the traditional archer will be competing there? Thank you.
JeffBullseye no, not this time he won't, he did last year.
Hey JT, it's nice to see my "ex" TC again. LOL
Dude take caution! You are driving on the wrong side ! :D
Striker bows - worst warranty in the business
