Thank you for explaining this process! You made it simple and understandable. I am excited about giving this a try and practicing a little to see how I do.
Thank you so much for the video and information!!! You rock brother, this was supremely helpful. May the sun be always at your back and your arrows always fly true.
Good stuff. This is exactly how I shoot, old school. I hate that new trad archers are taught 3 fingers under and aiming. Might as well just put a sight on the bow👁.
Thanks i am interested to learn instinctively shooting with my son for deer hunting thank you very much you are the one that explain clearly and very precise thank you God bless
Thank you. Enjoy shooting your bow instinctively. I hope you get a chance to hunt with your son. Me and my boy have done a lot of hunting together. It’s time we’ll spent. For a number of reasons.
I shot Olympic style most of my life, changed to the cant last several years. I really like it. the pistol is a Freedom arms. I trust it over bear spray. thanks for noticing.
I've never shot a compound bow that way ,but then I was a longbow and recurve shooter before I ever got a compound, I've always done the push pull draw in a slow smooth draw ,however I do snap shoot at rabbits and pheasant
You keep your bow well in draw. This is the true instinctive shot. I don't understand how well those who, keeping the bow in traction, bend their head to the left can shoot well.
I just got a 45# SAS Maverick... Suprisingly hard to draw, but that's just me for now... I like the idea of instinctive shots. You throw a rock instinctively, why not an arrow... Meanwhile, I'm close all around a little bag I've set out against a high bank. Hoping to get much better soon... Question though... I shot my first arrows yesterday, and only shot 24... Wore a glove, and my middle finger is still numb from just those few arrows... Holding the string wrong? Second question... How do I determine my nock point... I thought I'd do without one, but it seems pretty handy to have after yesterday. Thanks for the video... Carry on.
Either black powder .36/.44 cal with cartridge cylinder or just all black powder. I could be wrong. Just was mentioning on the comment because I carry a BP while bow shooting. Fun conventional weapons they both are.
If you have to do so much and in such sequence then it’s not instinctive . Instinctive shooting in true sense means you don’t have so many pre steps because this means you are still doing some kind of gap or split vision or reference shooting . When target is moving and archer is walking he or she has to shoot from a highly diverse terrain and at different angles so there cannot be 1 way to shoot .
Let me put the brakes on this right away. NOBODY can LEARN to shoot instinctively. Look up the definition of the word. Anything that is instinctive to someone comes NATURALLY. This means you are BORN with it. It is not something you can learn. You have it or you don’t. Most don’t. I was born with it and have been shooting instinctively for over 55 years. I am Not as good as Howard Hill or Byron Ferguson, but I do not need to know any yardages, or even come to full draw and hold. By the time my index finger hits the corner of my mouth, the arrow is released. I NEVER hold at full draw. It just comes natural to me. Again, nobody can teach instinctive shooting.
I beg to differ and so will thousands of archers. It’s called instinctive archery. It’s as natural as throwing a rock or a spear. We look at where we want the arrow to hit and through practice our brain has a memory we don’t perceive. Same as throwing a rock. Practice makes us better. It is instinctive and some are better than others at it. Even an African lion is taught to hunt by its mother. Yes they are. Orb with instincts to hunt but it’s perfected by practice and by being taught. Take a caged animal born in captivity and set it free in the wild it may starve before it figures out how to successfully hunt. We as instinctive archers don’t aim don’t look at the arrow don’t look at the string. We look at the object… or small spot we want the arrow to go and that is all. So it is instinctive and that’s the word chosen by thousands to explain it best. What other word would you suggest?
yea I don’t blame you. at the time I didn’t know how to edit a video. I wish I would have deleated it. my purpose isn’t to offend anyone. I have a compound and shot them a lot. I was just trying to point out the differance and hoping to discourage that type of draw. it’s unnecessary with traditional bows.
Love your no nonsense straight forward approach sir.
Great info. Thanks for helping the community get better.
The shot process is very important, to being relaxed, and good shooting. Thanks !!!

Thank you. Archery is good for the soul.
Thank you so much for the video and information!!! You rock brother, this was supremely helpful.
May the sun be always at your back and your arrows always fly true.
thank you. there’s many different ways to shoot a bow. I feel this is probably the best for hunting. it’s similar to how Fred Bear did it
Good stuff. This is exactly how I shoot, old school. I hate that new trad archers are taught 3 fingers under and aiming. Might as well just put a sight on the bow👁.
Simple and to the point. Nice video

This guy knows , he is a good teacher. This is how my father taught me.
Nice shooting. Like the pistol. I’m an pretty straight up shooter not much can’t just the way I started.
I shot Olympic style most of my life, changed to the cant last several years. I really like it. the pistol is a Freedom arms. I trust it over bear spray. thanks for noticing.
Excellent vid. I am now bending my back a bit ("tactical crouch") and my accuracy has improved significantly. Who built that bow?
I've never shot a compound bow that way ,but then I was a longbow and recurve shooter before I ever got a compound,
I've always done the push pull draw in a slow smooth draw ,however I do snap shoot at rabbits and pheasant
Excellent, I started out shooting recurves then went to compounds them back to traditional. Wish I never would have left. I picked up some bad habits.

Perfect
Damn he's arms doesn't even vibrate after he released the arrow

Nice honest lesson,thank you fred hammer nz
My pleasure!
It's fantastic!
Would you kindly make a video for fast shooting ?
Thank you very much!
I’m not a fast shooter. But it sounds challenging. Maybe I’ll come up with something
@@snowwalker8079
Thank you.
Spare my life, master.
What brand and model is that bow sir?
This long bow in the video is a custom made bow from Yellowstone Custom Bows it’s an extended version of the Yellowstone Express
What lbs is that bow?
51# at 31Inches its a custom bow. I used to anchor further back but because of a bad shoulder I now anchor at my jaw
No arm guard or glove? You are an animal, sir. Nice video. I'm also interested in that gun of Yours. What is it?
I’m a carpenter so I have thick skin on my hands
@@snowwalker8079 Thank You.

@@assassinmanx6128 Thank You. Sounds like fun. :) I carry CZ P-10C, when I´m out stump shooting or something.
Real lessons with real stump shooting, better than paper and square targets. Small game, small targets, the smaller the better.
If you shoot a compound bow that way, you'll be DQ-ed from the competition
yea I bet. and you would shoot poorly. canting the bow just helps your visual
@@snowwalker8079
Indeed
If it has a shelf it is not a traditional bow.

once you train yourself it becomes instinctive. just like learning to ride a bike. once you learn it you never forget it. it becomes instinctive.

Steve, below is my reply, some reason it didn’t reply to your comment , or I didn’t hit reply
After your explanation of a compound shooter, I’m out. And thumbs down. You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.
yea I don’t blame you. at the time I didn’t know how to edit a video. I wish I would have deleated it. my purpose isn’t to offend anyone. I have a compound and shot them a lot.

Hes just being a dick man
