- This is HOW I SHOOT a TradBow.
This is by no means a tutorial on shooting. This is simply Instinctive shooting. Draw, anchor, shoot. Practice Practice Practice. That is how you get better.
Gap shoot or string walk... if you want more accuracy that is!! Other than that, Instinctive shooting is all about arrows down the range! Shoot everyday!
People!
Don’t fall for the humble attitude! This Archer is absolutely amazing or he would not be a successful bow hunter! Let the learning proceed!

Thanks John. But you lie..😆
@@gunshyarchery
Yeah of course I do not to mention all of the outstanding posts of you skewering all manor of game animals with the lowly traditional archery tackle!!
@@John-z8g9z Ha Ha
Excellent job letting them know it's about how YOU shoot. That's very important and it's so true that the path to instinctive proficiency is long and filled with practice. No easy way here. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Melvin.
Your 100% correct when you say you just gotta shoot your bow a ton to get good 👍🏻
Shoot shoot shoot! Yup!
I'm a compound guy that shoots trad here and there for fun and I'll tell ya, I do enjoy shooting that but there's something about the "mystical flight of the arrow" that tickles the heart better from a trad bow. Thanks for keepin it real!
It's probably because you can watch the arrow turning in the air because they're sooo slooww Ha Ha!
I cannot understand why you guys don't have more subscribers by now.. I love when you post. Respect from the Uk 🇬🇧
Thanks Nicky b
I like following you because you keep the sport simple. I use your same method but it only works if you stay after it every chance you get. Thanks for great content.
Thanks Dan.
This is what I like about you and these videos. You are real. I know you could cut and past so every shot was perfect. Reality isn't like that. I very much appreciate what you do . Thank You!
Thanks Bobby!!
Hi it’s Vinnie from Philadelphia I hoping one day I will see a video of you new three arrows quiver!! Lol Sorry but I love your quivers !! Anyhow I not saying I am a pro but once your at anchor and engaging back tension when you relax your fingers to release the arrow never let your hand leave your face .. see if your left and right improve !! Just my 2cent . I love your video keep them coming!!

Love the honesty most people don't tell you that you're quite frankly going to suck for a while before you get the hang of it love the honesty man
Thanks Tom
Good stuff brother!!! I just bought my first compound bow this week but next I want to try my hand at traditional. True hunting!!!
It's all true hunting. Nothing wrong with a compound!
@@gunshyarchery that's true!! I agree with that!!
I shot compound years ago, took about 10 years off then got back into it with recurve. The recurve gives me more satisfaction.
I practiced for 2 years before doing any hunting. I built my confidence up and now I have successful seasons routinely.
Training, Training, Training.
For myself, I start at 6 meters. If I group my 2 arrows, I go back 2 steps. And I continue as far as I can... Very fun, very helpfull to get accuracy.
Tarl gives very good advice when he talks about kicking a ball in football, it's the same thing.
Thanks Tarl. A great passionate archer.
Thanks, But define a group of 2 arrows... at 20 what is a good group? I'd say 6" is a good group at 20 but 3" is better.. I ask questions like this just to get feedback to whether or not I am average or below average... I think I will do a video on it to get a proper perspective of what effective range is amongst Trad archers.
@@gunshyarchery When I say grouped for my 2 arrows, (I must convert in inches...) I must group my arrows in 3 or 4 inches maximum at each distance I shoot.
But you know, I saw another video (and I said same thing to me) I thing Bow arm is most important than draw arm. If your bow arm always pushes correctly in direction of your target, you'll have a better accurate. That's my feeling too. "The Push Matters More Than The Release"
For anyone wanting to learn to shoot instinctive, you have to pick a spot on the target then focus on that spot. You shouldn't be able to even use your arrow as a reference, because all of your focus is on that spot. This guy is right about that string walking and gap shooting will produce tighter groups. Instinctive excels at being able to make first shot hits at unknown distances. Like throwing a football or shooting a basket in basketball, its about your subconscious and muscle memory.
Great video! - when I see a new gunshy video, well it's gonna be a good morning, a year ago I got onto the whole heavier arrow higher FOC wagon and I'm here to stay, I am strictly a 25 and in hunter...when I had a flatter trajectory I felt it easier to shoot further, but the performance difference I've seen on live game has enough that I'm here to stay, and don't mind giving up some yards.
Σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ αδελφέ μου, για αυτό το βίντεο! Σε χαιρετώ από την Ελλάδα και το Νησί Κρήτη .
It's all repetition you have to learn the arc of your arrow
You're right, TH-cam influencers have made this a lot more complex than it has to be.
Just shoot a lot your brain will adjust
The book " instinctive archery insights " by Jay kidwell is one of the best if not THE best book ever written on this stuff.
This made me feel a lot better about my shooting. I am in the suck at shooting stage. going to keep at it. thank you for all your videos!
Just don't stop.
Love the video. Great shooting, you nailed that first shot on the 40 yard marker!
Looks like a pretty fast bow given how flat the arrows were flying. Great content as always!
Can you do a bow review video of the big stick and the other bows you used to shoot in your videos like that caribow? I like how the grip looks on the big stick
Nice! I love the old say of shooting...that is all we had growing up. Never tried the cam bows with the trigger. I watch people shoot them and it doesn't look like any fun. I would be bored!
Compounds are fine, they're accurate. All depends how hungry you get I guess.
@@gunshyarchery Absolutely! When it comes to deer I use my crossbow. It is a guaranteed kill. Better for me and the deer. But, when it comes to shooting...one of my favorite pastimes...it is the old school style for me.😁
Great stuff,,,, looking forward to watching your uploads. IRELAND.
Another great vid from the boys up north!
Your information is excellent, and thanks for sharing your recommendations with traditional archers, I would like you to make a video on how to tune the arrows so that they fly like yours
Sounds good Felix
Very good video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Good video as always , good hunting to you!
Great video I have just started referencing my arrow pre draw and have been getting good results, gaps are too big at full draw. Reference set and forget
ЛАЙК ОТ ДУШИ люблю смотреть твои охоты.Это мы как будто охотимся с луком..лицензии брать не выгодно .Что не добываешь ! 😎😱 А зачем платить за воздух
Good video - I do the same using the split finger draw , not three under works better for me.
Archers !
At 3:41 into this post notice this shot sequence especially the perfectly executed straight back RELEASE!
This archer does NOT pluck the bow string left or right but straight back and the arrow is cast to the point that he is looking at! You can do it don’t give up Enjoy 🏹🦌🏹🦌🏹🦌🏹🦌
just stumbled upon your videos man and got to say good stuff. I like videos from people like you, who are real bow hunters not just influencers. Can I ask, when you get too 40 and you switch to aiming down the arrow, are you closing one eye or keeping them both open still? I have noticed that when I reference the arrow I cannot do it unless I close my left eye (I'm a right handed shooter).
Thanks Eric, appreciate it. So at 40 I keep both eyes open, my right eye is considerably stronger than my left so I can easily focus with both eyes open. Same as shooting a compound or rifle, both eyes open. But I don't see an issue closing one eye when the time comes. What ever is most accurate. Actually that's not how I live my life, gap shooting is most accurate, and I don't do that... so shoot how ever you want! I shoot instinctive until roughly 40, so who am I to say "shoot what is most accurate". Thanks for watching Eric.
You Sir have mad skills. Just saying.
Thanks Paul but no, no I don't.
Nice! You are showing the difference between long & recurve bows! it's more instinctive were a bow hunter can make a shot from many angles! Compared to cam bows with all their pins and cam release brakes! I think most of the cam bow hunters would crap in their pantaloons pulling back a 45 or 50 lbs bows and taking a shot! I like how you show its about the anticipation of the arrow drop to the target! It wasn't Until they invented the six shooter that White's even had a chance against the Comanche's in a moving battle while on horse back riding towards you at full stride, dropping sideways on a horse a putting six arrows in your one shot ass before you could say General Custer! Oh yeah they could ride pretty well too! Nice!
Great explanation mate. Is that the Shrew hybrid longbow by Henry Bodnik? I love it

Great video. Always curious how successful hunters aim. There are point on hunters who are outstanding and pure instinctive hunters also. I shoot a similar blend. I shoot instinctively under 20 but my point on distance is not as far as yours. I’m pretty well zero at 30. But, I try to keep the stands at under 15. Lol
Knowing a max distance is always important.
Compound bow shooter first time drew a recurve back and nothing but draw weight I knew I was in trouble 😂😂
Nice
Buenas flechas 🏹👍🏽
nice shooting.
Not really but thanks!
In your opinion, Longbow or recurve bow, which one is better? Which one is faster? You seem to prefer Long bow, can you tell me why? Thanks!
I find long bow to have less residual vibration after the shot. Watch a long bow shoot and then a recurve shoot, both in slow motion.. recurve vibes for quite some time after the shot. In my opinion.
@@gunshyarchery
Thank you.
How about the speed?
@@matthewyu3531 No idea..
New sub! Liked 🐟🙏🧨🧨👍
My tip to compliment the video:
Just spend some time learning your equipment with only one change at a time.
Man I need one of those hats!
😂
@@gunshyarchery seriously lol

This is how I shoot.
What bow were you shooting?

Is there much difference in three fingers under the arrow on the string, or one above and two below? It seems more like a preference to me
Better arrow flight shooting split, but I find its a little more accurate 3 under as the fletching end is closer to your eye so the arrow is easier to reference. Easier for alignment towards the target.
@@gunshyarchery Makes sense, thanks for the reply.
@@Thisismycomment. This videos may help to understand: th-cam.com/video/8zq9B-JroFk/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/mzWQ5_1bXtM/w-d-xo.html.
One other thing to take into consideration regarding 3under or split, if you have a longer draw and a shorter bow you can start having string pinch problems with split, even if it's not uncomfortable you can still find yourself effecting the nock end of the arrow on release.
The flip side is I've found split to be a little quieter, probably something to do with the limbs being in balance... Maybe (although if you stump up for a custom you can ask them to tiller for 3 under).
Great video as usual 🇬🇧
@@sickgit66 I agree with everything you said, especially your last sentence! 🤣😂
I cant seem to shoot with glasses on......did you have similar issues
No I need my glasses to see what I'm shooting! Tried contacts. Couldn't do it. I thought without glasses I could anchor better and closer to my eye. Probably could but it felt way to unnatural.
@@gunshyarchery Im the opposite I cant get comfortable shooting with glasses on.
As you was trying to find the word it'd be radical not quite as radical
Your style of shooting is known as split-vision shooting because you use the arrow (Howard Hill style) a truly instinctive shooter does not see the arrow when shooting. They also shoot split finger on the string.
Well there you have it, I'm not even an instinctive shooter!😂 I'm a cross breed bowhunter! Thanks Bill, I have heard the split vision shooting term before, but never really called myself that as don't reference it when shooting close, only at 40 I will use it for aiming. I shoot the same in dark situations while shooting in the yard, when I can't even see the arrow at all.
Some people really put the stink in instinktive archery. 😂🏹..
Quiver?
That is one we manufacture. Go to our website if you'd like to see some. Thanks.
I know I will piss off a lot of people.
There is only trad bow hunting... any other 'bow' hunting is an arcade game, anyone can do it.
I agree but disagree, it is still challenging using the wheely bows... just need to get a touch closer with the TradBows... Now gun hunting... that's another story!.. Just kidding, as long as a guy is hunting I'm cool with it. Hunters only have one enemy, Anti-hunters. Compounds and rifles are not the issue... It's not their fault they can't hunt better... Just Kidding!!😂
UGLY shooting
You betcha.
