Its my first bow and it was really easy to use and was well aimed right out the gate th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . After assembly I my first two shots were great at 20 yards. As a beginner I definitely recommend a beginner bow. An E clip did pop off a cam after a day of shooting but I had a replacement ready, it would be nice to have a spare e clip or two in the parts list. Also, the release isn't as tight on the draw as I'd like, accidently shot two arrows into the ground before I got a good hold on it. Aside from that, great experience.
Yeah, I've got the Yost tab. My accuracy improved 3 fold. Eric Yost is a great guy. He answered my questions and encouraged me (I'm slow learning rookie lol). Good post.
those Yost tabs are nice....almost like cheating. What is the brand name of the bow with the quiver used in the demonstration video? I want one .... or two or 5 of them : )
Messed around with gap shooting and string walking, but broke so many arrows. The only method that stuck for me is instinctive. No calculating needed, just point and shoot.
Really good video. Very informative!!! Thanks for making it. Maybe lose the music next time? I only got half way through before stopping because the music dominates the video...
So what is the split vision method I have heard of? Also have you ever shot a gap in the riser window instead of at the bale? Many shooters around here use this method.
Basically, with both eyes open, you focus on the spot on the target you want to shoot, but at the same time, you're also aware and aiming the gap with the arrow in your peripheral. At least that's how I see it. There are many videos on TH-cam that explain it better than I can. Try CatholicHack's videos, he has one on split vision. Or search for Byron Ferguson split vision aiming.
In a split vision style your focus is on the target with the arrow in your peripheral vision. Gapping at the bow is another effective method. It's all about finding what works best for you.
The way I shoot split vision is I use a split finger grip anchoring the arrow on the very corner of my lip and I close one eye, using the tip of my arrow to line me up with r bullseye left to right, then I instinctively calculate my elevation to shoot at. I switched to this method from just shooting instinctively and the difference is night and day. I'd recommend reading hunting the hard way by Howard Hill. He goes over the split vision method there
That is basically what I was taught, but it is a combination of both of them. My focus is on the spot while the gap is set in the window . It is like invisible pins , so to speak. This was called gap shooting while picking a spot below the target to put the arrow tip on at the target was termed pick a point. So I have a point on of 44 yards and the biggest gap I have is 1-1/8 inch in the riser window at 15 yards . It gets tighter as you move towards the point on distance. It is especially helpful aiming system when you have nothing at the target to measure down on such as a small 3d target sitting on the ground or elevated higher on a limb .
Thats cause it is a modern bow. But it’s the exact same thing, it’s just made with modern materials and more precise calculations. You can do the same things with a string on a stick but you’re only handicapping yourself with inconsistencies. A basic takedown recurve is essentially a longbow or horse bow that is just built better. And an Olympic ILF just takes that further

its a shame this video implies damaged to the entorhinal cortex is a viable method of aiming and doesn't even attempt explain how all methods of"aim" are ruled by one thing.
Mate you got to help us lowly peasants out with understanding what your saying, what about the methods shown would damage the entorhinal cortex, and what is that? Google says it "is an area of the brain located in the medial temporal lobe and functioning as a hub in a widespread network for memory, navigation and the perception of time." And all methods of aim are ruled by what thing exactly? If I had to guess I'd say entorhinal cortex? What are you trying to say man!?

I found this very helpful and informative. Well presented. Thank you.
Using your intuition to aim is far better than the tools. 😎 Practice makes perfect 😎 train like we fight.

Eric is an awesome guy! Glad to here your shooting is going well.
Superb video. It explains so much.
The release is really important too !
I learned something. TY
The stuff talked about when it comes to gap aiming, how it raises the arrow and such, that's why I use the middle finger to anchor not the index.

Driving myself crazy trying to stringwalk. Cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Instinctive makes it a lot more fun.

Finding what works best for you is what archery is all about. Sounds like instinctive is the ticket for you.
Very informative
Nice video.Thx from France.
Glad it was helpful!

string walking, yess
That's still a modern bow to me...a traditional bow in my eyes is a wooden longbow or a horsebow. Like they were in the original times.

The horse bow IS a recurve bow and recurves have been around since at least 2000 BCE. They don't get more "traditional" than that.
@@terraphon BCE?

🇧🇷🏹❤️🎯🤗🏹🎯🏹🤗👍👍 show my friends 🤗🤗👍👍👍
I just look at the target where I want to aim and let loose the arrow and hit the center, easy as that.
Music's not loud enough, i can still recognize some words.
When you said traditional i thought you gonna talk about horsebow or something similar to it
Pro trick: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

Thanks for watching.@@deepavarma9060
this is not traditional bow...
More demo, less talking would be more educational.
The background noise is real amateurish.
И эти глупости продолжаются и распространяются по всему миру :(
Ужас! Минус естественно.
Good information, rubbish and unnecessary background music
That little tune in the background vandalises this video so annoying.

I use a high cheek anchor point.
