S3 Archery - Finding your Effective Range
I shot my first deer with a Hill longbow (69", 70#) when I was 16 YO. He was running full speed and jumping an 8 ft. ditch when my arrow struck him in the shoulder, penetrating the shoulder blade, severing the spine and embedding in the right shoulder blade. The only time my arrow didn't go all the way through. I never worried about speed (162- 166 fps). My arrows always got there, ready for business. Sweet and Forgiving was that bows name! I had been running, I wasn't 90 degrees to the target, the deer wasn't 90degrees to me. I was 55-60 feet away when I released. I couldn't have done it with any other bow and arrows.
What a memory! Such a great experience and what a great bow to start your hunting journey with! Cheers!
Aim small, miss small the old rule
The pro's of single shooting an arrow are to me: when hunting you (usually) only get one shot, makes your focus that more intense, keeps you more fresh, where muscles don't fatiuge, and your target line is much more steady, I've tried it and works well with me. My thoughts only !
Yup, have one Big Five and two Wesley Specials. Great bows! Sadly, Craig is retiring and not accepting orders.
Sadly Craig is pulling the plug and not taking any more orders. (Sad for me, but good for him)👍
The Big deference with arrows being too stiff is the archer's paradox which is quite a bit different than center shot bows of any type. In other words, the arrow shafts have to bend around the riser more with the longbow since they are no where near center-shot.
Great video Very comprehensive. And diversified For the many ways you can shoot left. Keep up the good weird.Where did you get that quiver?
old video but great info! e.i. power wedges and fast flight...appreciated
Did the spine change after fletching?
Nice video. Im 6'1" 180lbs. I get a large in most everything but im afraid the sleaves will be too long. Ill have to give them a call. Do you still wear them? How are they holding up?
What is your chest size? I didn't see a size chart online. I'm trying to get an idea of size selection. Thanks!
I use rolled up carpet for a target...no bullseye, just a fictional animal torso. I "aim" at a section or a shade on the carpet roll as though its the animal torso. 24" wide and about 12' long rolls into a nice easy pull target. Tie it with 550 cord or use a spray adhesive to keep the carpet rolled.
I picked up a 2021 Kodiak 50#. It is fantastic to shoot. Also have a Kodiak Hunter in Artic Grey also a great bow.
Where did you all go? Still shooting?
Do you still have it
Canting is a movie scene way to shoot, or if your bow's sight line is very small over the arrow rest. It's inaccurate , but yes it looks cool. Many , many hunters use a straight up shot, preferred then cant. Don't believe all the hype to cant your bow.
Canting is not inaccurate, wow what are you talking about? Canting the bow has many advantages, including increased visibility of the target, reducing the amount of vertical space the bow takes up, and last but not least, preventing the arrow from falling off the shelf.
I wish they were still 45-50 lol. $78 +shipping now or 115 for s7. Way better than the crap grizzlystik makes though
I hear ya...got three of the 59 Kodiak bows. I know its a sickness but they just shoot great.
Nice quiver mate 🤠
your arrows are not of the proper spine....
That was really helpful. Thanks. I've been having this problem...big time coming from ILF recurve to traditional. Now learning to shoot a Bear 59 Kodiak. I'll go thru the check list for sure.
Hey if it works for cats then it’ll work for us. We hunt the best when we do it like the mountain lion hunts deer or other prey. The arrow launch is same as the cat’s dash to the unsuspecting prey animal, the closer the better.
spine angle was it for me! great video!
Is there a DVD explaining the different calls for turkey and turkey hunting Lefty
Great presentation Thanks
Yep, you fixed me! Cant and spine alignment was my problem. Thanks a ton!
Why wouldn't you call it the Three A's alignment anchor aim
I said what kind of back quiver is that that you're wearing and what's the name and where can we get it
What kind of back whatever is that in the name and where you can get it
That was really useful, especially the potential grip problems, which may be my case, switching between bow style.
Traditional archery give me a Boner
Appreciate your video, great info.
You could have mentioned that by believe was the man who invented the three-piece takedown
Very important. Thank you.
Joe, did you choose your own laminates and wood make. I believe your particular bow has 3 or 4 lams. Curious did you use any Howard Hill Japanese bamboo? I have read some of Howard's exploits, his shooting performances were as good or better than Byron's
I just bought a identical #40 59. I cannot wait to see this in person. Shoot it and maybe Turkey hunt.
The Bear 59 is designed for 28.5" draw or less. If you have a longer draw, the limbs at full draw will be passed top vertical. That's when you hear the strange sound. No change up in arrows will stop that noise. Only the shorter draw method would stop this. The 59 was a brilliant design, decades ahead of it's time. They still use 1950 machining today and finish work is all by hand. Good hunting!
What kind of quiver back quiver are you using I like the way it attached
That would actually be on the back of the bow the Micarta
How smooth is the bow drawing it back
what is the name of the tube you used for the arrow varnish
If they're running a pro shop for Robin and archery many many years ago the largest wholesale or retailer in the world and taking a survey on color I found that 60% of The Archers like orange and 40% like that lime iridescent green so some people see colors differently Lefty New Jersey
I don't understand why they call this a compound technique when Howard Hill used it himself in the 30s and 40s
100% correct, John. I think it’s so prevalent in compound archery, it gets all the attention. Plus, when you get it in compound, it’s very obvious to watchers. In trad archery, unless you know the archer and their draw length, it’s hard to see it and know it except for the actual archer. Main thing is don’t allow it to take hold - be proactive in stomping it out the moment it becomes known. Cheers!
Thanks for this very helpful tips! 👍
Your comparison is somewhat subjective if you have a weight difference why wouldn't you weigh the bows physically and tell us the difference the sound that should have been done with a decibels and see the difference in the sound you could have chronographed to see which one was quicker it's not really scientific it's just an opinion and it both bows were the same price which one would you pick and then we'd see that most people would pick the wing it but the money does come into the picture but not the bow thanks Lefty
I have a bubbly ultimate it's a great bow nothing bad to say about the bow but I'd like to know the name and type of quiver you're using please use that in your video mention it thanks Lefty New Jersey
That's ultimate not bubbly
Judos are great! I like the rubber blunts too-- it watch out for the brand that has a recessed tip and very little rubber at the impact point! Your shaft will go right through it on the first shot. So dumb!
How have they held up over the years? I just ordered a brown tweed Pathfinder Half-Zip Pullover in "heavy" but not blanket and want to know how long I can expect it to last.
Joe, I enjoy your clips but I have a couple of things to ask you about. I note you have no string silencers, on a heavy-ish Long-bow with a slim, lightweight handle...how do you perceive hand-shock?? I also noted you have a very heavy arrow...way over 12 grains per pound...does that reduce the shock for you? I just received the 45lb ( 50 for my very long draw ) AuSable Long-bow...that I've waited 11 months for. This was almost entirely based on your warning to perhaps avoid recurves under 60" if you are over 6 feet ( I'm 6'3" ) added to Jeff Kavanaugh's testimony that the AuSable had "...NO HAND-SHOCK...AT ALL". I found it loud and full of hand-shock. I've followed various advise as well as my own intuition and added two sets of silencers, a padded glove on my Bow hand, a heavier arrow ( so-far aprox 600 grains total ) and utilised a more open grip. I'm finding it more bearable now ( excuse the Pun ) but I'm still sensing that anything other than a faultless "loose" is punished severely with vibration and noise...maybe that's why Jeff and you don't have the issues I do?? Any advice you or others can give would be appreciated. Cheers Big Bear in Australia.
Can you still buy Howard Hill bows and are they very expensive?
