    I lost my 6 year old son a year ago to cancer, and as part of my grief healing I've started up archery. It has helped me so much to find quiet and peace, and I am so thankful for your channel that's given me a lot of good tips to help me along the way. I couldn't be where I am now without my faith in the Lord, so thank you for your archery tips and your reminders that Jesus really is there for us when we need comfort.

      Same. My first bow was a recurve when I was really young. I would run around the yard like I was Legolas from Lord of the Rings. Got pretty good with it and then I got a compound at age 14 for deer hunting. My uncle who's the recurve guy gave me crap. Shot 2 does with it but recently got a doe with my recurve while I was on the ground. It was so awesome. I lost my cedar arrows. Passed through her but couldn't find it. Oh yeah man I'm never going back to my compound. It was a sign when my buddy drew it back and dry fired it. I was about to hand him my beautiful bear Alaskan recurve to shoot but I'm so glad I brought out my youth Diamond razor edge to shoot. Lol. Thing is still sitting in its case un strung 5 years later

    Brother, I always learn something useful from your videos, and I am blessed at the end of it. Thanks. I shoot both types of bows and an Asian horsebow. The longbow feels like being with an old friend. The recurve is a friend who is a bit finicky with the coffee. The horsebow (shot with the thumb) is an acquaintance with temper tantrums. These metaphors sort of explain my experience with archery over the years.

    I have wished I could find a shoot in my area but I haven't found one within a reasonable drive. Every bow I have shot I have had to buy. I have shot some nice bows but have yet to find the right one. The closest so far has been a 62in win&win black wolf. I just ordered some longbow limbs which will make my 17in ilf riser into a 64in longbow. I am also ordering g a 21in riser to try both the recurve and longbow limbs on. It is expensive to search bows this way but it has still been fun

    @lucvandenberghe378 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hello,
    Very interesting video!!
    I’m a real archery novice and have a question that maybe you can answer.
    About a year or two ago I wanted to start shooting the bow. I went to a bow shop and asked the owner which type of bow would be good as a starter. Without measuring anything he sold me a beautiful Oak Ridge Dymond 62” 35 Lbs. I started shooting this bow and in the beginning it seemed to be enjoyable. After a few weeks the middle finger of my right hand got numb (I wear finger protection). And overall it felt like I was overpulling the bow. I almost couldn’t believe that 35 Lbs was so damn hard to pull. I almost started to hurt my shoulder muscles. What began as something enjoyable became a lot less enjoyable in a few days time. I went back to the shop and the (so called experienced) owner told me maybe 35 Lbs was a little bit to heavy for a beginner. Again nothing got measured or explained. So he sold me a second bow, also a Oak Ridge, but now a Hardwood 62” 25 Lbs. He told me that, once I got used to this lighter pull, shooting the 35 Lbs wouldn’t be a problem anymore. At that point my trust in that guy was still large enough to believe him. Silly me!!
    Shooting the new bow was easier, but I still had problems with my middle finger, my left shoulder and my left arm constantly got hit by the string. I read information on websites and watched videos on YT, hoping to find what I was doing wrong. I tried this and that, but nothing worked. So I thought maybe I just wasn’t going to be able to enjoy that fun sport.
    Then, not so long ago I started reading (and watching) the more technical stuff about bow types, draw length and draw weight. In doing so I discovered that maybe the two bows I have could be to short for me. I determined and measured my draw length. When I spread my arms and measure from fingertip to fingertip, my span is about 2000 millimetres. Divided by 2.5 and again by 2.54, my draw length is 31,48”. Measuring on a pulled arrow, my draw length is 32,67”. I really think that, when I look at my draw length (31,5-32,6 inches), a 62 inch bow is to short for me. If that’s not the case, then everything I read, see and hear on the internet about draw length isn’t something I can trust. When I search for longer bows, I find lengths up to 74 inch, so I think these will be produced for shooters who have a longer draw length.
    I know I will still make mistakes with a bow that’s longer, and I know that only good advice by a trainer or experienced archer can help me further, but I also know that my 62” bows really get overstretched (I’m sure 25 lbs isn’t 25 lbs anymore and the same for the 35 lbs) when I draw it full length. And it’s not that the time between the moment of full length draw and release is very short when I practice. I still try to aim as good as possible and that takes time, certainly for a novice like me. And maybe this, combined with the shorter bow partially makes for the overstressing of my muscles.
    Now finally my questions. Could it be that both bows just are way to short for me? And, what advice can I get on which bow to buy?
    Thanks!!

    So I’m REALLY trying to decide what to buy for my return to traditional archery. I shot for a minute 25yrs ago but it didn’t stick. I’m all in at moment but don’t wanna dump a bunch of money on a black widow or Hoyt satori until I figure out just what would be best. I’m looking at the good old black hunter or the Tbow models to possibly start off with. Tbow due to ilf system and more options for tuning accessories. Also hear they are super smooth drawing bows like the satori. Black hunter for the option of either longbow or recurve limbs. I’m 5’9 w/28” draw and shoot a 73lb compound. I’m thoroughly confused what to choose to start and fully expect to transition to a high end bow after tinkering w/some cheaper versions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

    1:17 - LOL!
    Listen to this guy, he's not lying. My compound is 70lbs at 80% let off but that is child's play to traditional weight.
    I went with a 60lb recurve because I wanted to start with something close to my compound's weight, and yeah, it isn't something to be trifled with as a starting weight.
    It burnt me up when I first got it (inner forearm could speak for that). Maybe shot it 10 or so times before taking it back in until the next day due to it wearing me out. I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn at 5-10 yards.
    But as a novice (and humbly still am), I was shooting my carbon arrows from my compound with plastic fletchings and wasn't using an arm guard or tab. So I had blisters on my fingers and a nasty bruise constantly until I wizened up and went and bought some feather fletched arrows with a leather guard and tab.
    So before you start putting away your traditional bow as something you think you'll never master, make sure it isn't the equipment causing your issues in the first place, because once you do start hitting the target then it is like pure dopamine to the brain.
    After a year of sending many arrows, I'm now pushing 20 yards and could shoot the 60lb recurve for hours without tiring and all archery enthusiasts should at least give traditional archery a go for it is the father of all archery today.

    Hey Jeff, does the design of a bow cause you to draw different draw lengths? For example my draw is 30”. Will it be 30” with both a recurve and a longbow! Thanks, Ron

      Usually no but some bows have a thicker grip which could very slightly increase it but not enough to really consider, just like black widow gives several wrist angle options and unless you’re shooting off the heal it can’t really increase but make sure you measure your draw correctly which is from the front of the riser in a normal not overdrawn position like you’d normally shoot, the measurement from the front of the riser to throat of the nock is your true draw length with traditional bows 👍🏻

    Hello trad friend, I'm 6 ft. Tall 187 lbs. I'm shooting a 66" Pearson Havalina recurve , 55 lb. , I'm 62 and had heart surgery that left me very weak so I'm not able to handle that weight right now , but I have collected 14 vintage recurve bows over the years and I can shoot right or left hand bows, I have a 45 lb. Redwing hunter I may give a try now, or a Pearson Golden souvreign . I love my old traditional bows , some are older than me and still in good shooting condition

    This one is interesting because was talking about this in a Facebook archery page i belong to. Now as im learning im learning on a recurve bow, my draw at 5,11 my draw lengh is 27inch. Now i love shooting my samick sage bow, but a few pointed out to not get a bow until youve done youre course, because you may find you actually shoot better or prefer traditional long bow. Im abit stubborn lol but im also a humbe guy, so i understand what they mean, but most know a samick sage is around 100 dollors or 100 uk, where im at. So in my opinion theres nothing wrong with shooting all different types of bows, why just stick to just one, the fun is they shoot different, so why not have a few styles in youre draw. Thats just my opinion as i honestly at this point cant see myself having a huge preference, infact i would like to own different types of bows and enjoy them for what they are.

    Good day Jeff. Bought my first longbow last year. 53# at 29". I draw 28,5.
    My question. I shoot about 40 arrows out it then I am spent. Muscles flitching I cannot keep the fine tune on my aim. Yes I am a gap shooter. Would you say that is being overbowed.

    • @thewhiskeycowboy-official

      I am not Jeff, but it's been three weeks....
      Yes and no.
      I would say no if just hunting since you will not need to shoot 40 arrows. But ONLY if you are already accurate enough to make a humane kill.
      But yes if you want to shoot your bow a lot, which is needed for better accuracy. I see many folks have a "practice" or "target" bow, and then a "hunting bow". (or just different limbs on the same riser) This is much like what some do with long range rifle shooting. It is easier to get good skill and accuracy with a less recoil rifle, and the ammo costs less... then have a rifle with more recoil but that you will shoot less, but use the same skills learned on the other rifle. I hope that made sense.
      If you look around TH-cam you will see many archers do the "I hunt with a 50-60 lb bow, but spend most of my time shooting with a 35-45 lb bow because it is easier, and I can shoot more without getting worn out." Then before hunting season, they do a refresh with their higher pound bow to remember how IT shoots. But their foundations are still the same.
      Hope this helps, cheers.

    Great video Jeff.
    How heavy a poundage bow would be reccomended for Alaskan moose and grizzly . I live in a real moosey area. And while it's not overrun with grizzly. There are plenty around, not far away.
    I'm pretty settled on the Samick Sage. And trying to decide on how heavy to go with. And how hard it will be to shoot well. 5'9" , 220 lb timber faller.
    I don't want to buy a bow with some light weight limbs that end up being less than useful in a short period of time.

      Hmm, well from experimenting with cheaper bows nothing out performs the Toparchery 60” recurve on Amazon for a little over $100 with a good TTT string and replacing the thin felt limb gaskets with Velcro they’re silent and super fast bows, the three I’ve tested with 45# limbs were pushing 200fps with 9gpp arrows and upper 180’s with heavier arrows, they’re hard to beat and look really good but the sage is a time proven bow I’d probably go with either 45 or 50# limbs and shoot a sharp two blade like a Simmons or Stinger Buzzcut 👍🏻

      Thank you very much !
      I imagine that getting a bow and shooting a bull moose or bear with it may seem like skydiving without a parachute. But they walk through my yard here. Not hard to get within 20 yards of them and sometimes they are much closer.
      I've been living in and hunting in Alaska since 78 continuously. Almost entirely close range rifle.
      I am looking forward to rabbit and grouse hunting with my bow . Which will be the deciding factor on when I can big game hunt with it.

      You should be good right there but it may actually handle a little more point weight maybe 50 grains or so and that would be even better because even adding that much to your total arrow weight will give it a quieter shot and even more penetration yet you really won’t loose any noticeable speed 👍🏻

      They’re actually one of the top rated entry level bows and do shoot well, I’m thinking you’ve probably ordered too heavy poundage to start but maybe not, I struggle with 55# after a few shots lol but as far as silencing goes the best thing to do is order a TTT string for it or one of the other premium strings out there with wool puffs, other than that they’re pretty quiet 👍🏻
