- Do you struggle with accuracy and consistency shooting instinctive with traditional bows? There are two major factors that can make all the difference in the world for you and we’ll deal with them in this video so hopefully you will be the best archer you can be!
That recurve is absolutely gorgeous, what kind of bow is that as in what brand hunting bow? God has blessed you as a great teacher, thank you so much for the awesome tips.
If I lived in your neck of the woods I’d be at your house all the time🙂You have all the knowledge I’m looking for I look forward to your videos
The way you describe shooting is exactly how I shoot. I can't even explain the accuracy besides I just feel it and I focus..I shoot shortly after I draw as well.. I really love seeing someone who shoots truly extinctively like I do... I just had shoulder surgery and can't shoot right now so I'm bingewatching archery videos and am happy to have found your channel! I am a horse archer first so ground archery is new to me but I'm loving it.
Thanks!
Always spot on Jeff!
Thanks for another good video!!
I have noticed one thing myself, and that is with 9 years as an Instinctive shooter, I become a Gap shooter.
And the more Gap shooting I do, the more I return to instinctive shooting, with a glimpse of Gap shooting without thinking about it, I do the Instinctive shooting more and more, but somewhere in the back in my head there is a small Gap shooting left.
Its funny, but it works good.
When I see you shoot, I do the same I press my bower forward before I grip the string, and this make me shoot much better.
Absolutely I think it becomes instinctive aiming for most gap shooters at some point!
You are so good, you should think about assembling a traditional bow shooting boot camp. I would make the drive and pay the dues.
That would be awesome!
@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 what kind of glove do you use. Need to order one. Also recommendation for an arm guard/protector. My buddy says they are also good for holding clothes out of the way when hunting cold weather. Thanks in advance!
@@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 oh and who's an easy company to order the JBo through? Trying to get one ordered so TTT strings can get me going
@@joec1212 yes sir I use a BearPaw Classic from Lancaster Archery Supply, they’re awesome and cheap but last for years, they do stretch out so order one size smaller than you think and it’ll be perfect in no time and stay there 👍🏻
I would also attend
You are right about when you aim too long you have more chance of issues. I started to develop the odd flinch aka target panic recently from aiming too long/trying too hard. I did a session this arv shooting like you and found way more consistency and no flinches!
Absolutely!
God bless you, Jeff.
Thanks so much brother!
Great info!! Thanks Jeff!👍👍👍🙏
I have a tip for those suffering from Target Panic. Get the bow up. And look at the spot and then shift your eyes to your arrow and watch the arrow draw back. Don’t look away. Watch the arrow being drawn back.
Then.. after you reach anchor, shift your vision from the arrow to the target.
Your already at full draw now and anchored.
Then just stare at the spot n pull through to release.
It’s best if you start up close then work back.
This is not the full cure. But it will get you moving in the right direct to beat target panic. Then your comfortable getting to full draw. Then you can move to a clicker or feather to nose or whatever you use to trigger the shot.
Hope this helps someone out there. God Bless.
Another great information video 😊
Your content has helped me so much. Groups are really coming together. Greatly appreciate it Jeff. 👍🏻
That’s what I love to hear my brother!
Great information here guy's and lady's!!!!
Good luck this year in the deer woods.
One problem I see (especially) new shooters have. They seem to ALWAYS drop their bow arm soon as they release the arrow.
Very true......
Another awesome video.
Thanks Matt!
Thank you 🙏🏼
very helpful
Another great video!
Thanks brother! I’m jealous that you’re already getting to hunt!
Ain't doing much. Raining near every evening but we on' m!!
Jeff, another great video. For too long I was a short-drawing plucker, but thanks to some of your advice I'm finally getting out of the habit.
I love it man......once you realize you draw full tight in the face and line up it all comes in tight......man I love these videos I had to learn the hard way
That’s awesome! Thanks so much 👍🏻
Dead on for me I had these issues when I started and finally solved them. Just like you said,wished I saw this video a year ago def help
Like your bow
Takes a lot of practice. I started at 10 yards with a 40 lb now. I’m 5 7 at 210. I could do 25 pull-ups at this weight. 10,000 arrows then to 12 yards 10,000 more 14 10000 more. Then started moving weight up. 65?lb bear super Kodiak is a hard pull. 30 good shoots then it degrades. 60 lb Samik sage is far easier. Good for 100 arrows.
Hey guys. First year trad have a couple questions to help me get better groups. Should I lock my bow arm? I’m having trouble getting the arrow under my eye. Can I learn this style of shooting with a slight nock away from being under my eye? Jeff you have helped me very much by taking to you and watching your videos. Good luck to everyone!! I shot 6” over a doe this morning. At least I didn’t wound it! Now practice practice practice
I never actually lock mine and rarely ever need an arm guard unless it’s a bow with a brace height under 7 3/4” or so, and usually if you miss a deer it over the back 99% lol aim low and you’ll never go wrong with the queen of the woods 😁👍🏻
For me it’s shooting from 20 feet up during hunt season, but not being able to practice that shot consistently in preparation
At what point in your sequence do you establish alignment with your target? It would appear that it must be at the beginning or during your draw. For me, drawing changes my sight picture, so I must draw, then anchor while aligning (aiming), then focus on building back tension to release. This takes several seconds after anchor.
Your shooting is amazing Jeff. Love your videos. God bless!
I'm in the same boat. I just chalk it up to "it is what it is" and keep working the process.
The one thing I love is the humility to never think you know it all. Great thing about archery is there is always more learning and always more practice to do........to achieve something that only the sky is the limit...........there is no end to it.....there is always better no matter how good you are. Its a personal goal. Your only competing against yourself.
What bow is that it’s a beauty?
Plus you see through the shot, I remember you talking about that before. So many folks don't understand to see through the shot.
Exactly!
That are super hard to go from compound to traditional, first bow that I got 45 lb recurve, I took it to the shop how to check the poundage, it felt like 80 lb it was spot-on 45, it is a tough transition
Would you consider your style "snap shooting"? I shoot fast like that as well but I also practice holding my draw for some time too, both still instinctive shooting. So in the field I can snap draw or hold for a while if need be. Do you ever hold your draw while shooting in case that situation comes up?
Jeff, are using a Black Hunter recurve in this video?
What is you riser and limb combo?
Thank you very much.
I am opposite I tend to shoot , any suggestions?
Hello I am shooting a 55 lb bow at 28 inch it is the bear super mag 48 inch recurve and I am trying to build a great arrow for penetration my draw length is 23 inches so 45 lbs what kind of spine should I use I want the arrows to be like 25 inches and I will be using 150 grain inserts with 100 grain broadhead
Do use helical or offset fletching
Left helical 👍🏻
where do you sell the Instinctive addiction archery tshirts? Thanks Jeff
I’ve actually got an order supposed to be ready this week, just message me on Facebook messenger and I’ll hook you up with one👍🏻
That is such good advice.
I really appreciate that thanks for watching!
Jeff adding a selway quiver to the bow do you have to retune the bow
Not at all! It also helps to add just a little mass weight for stability and acts as a silencer it’s just a little different shooting with them on but you will get used to it really quick and probably not want to shoot without one ☝️
@@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 thank you for your wisdom
i like your hunting bow! where can i find that set up?
Thanks it’s one we built two years ago, actually the very last one ever produced it’s a C2 Ghost Recurve 58” double carbon limbs with dyed black and white ebony veneers in a charcoal Dymondwood riser with Ram Horn overlays 👍🏻
@@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 I started 2 years ago with a fleetwood recurve that I’m ready to upgrade. I think I’m having limb twisting issues, and some delaminating on the grip. Just not sure what to move to next. Shame they don’t make that one anymore, it’s nice looking
What’s the best thing you could do to stop dropping your bow arm????
Try keep you arm up for a few seconds after the shot. Just focus on solid bow arm and follow through for a while. Practice Practice Practice! We've all got things we need to continually work on.
For me, "watching the arrow into the target" keeps my arm up. If i watch the arrow hit you probably kept your arm up.
@@fishhunter348,if you will point your index finger on your bow hand, you will not drop your arm. Point hard, and it's very difficult to drop your arm, Tom
interesting.
won't work for i, not the style i practice but interesting none the less.
Hi Jeff, can you help me find the right hunting arrow. I’m shooing a 60lb recurve at 28”. My draw length is 28” and I plan to shoot a 200 grain broadhead.
You’ll need a 340 spine brother most likely, I usually move up from 400’s past 55# at a real 28” draw on a recurve 👍🏻
@@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 thank you very much Jeff, I’m really learning a lot from you thanks.
@@gabrielschipor6744thank you so much!
My dad is a life-long archer. He has worked with both compound and recurve bows and has recently discovered your CZcams channel and would love to talk to you. He is not very good with technology, which is why I'm reaching out on his behalf. How could he contact you? Do you have a business email or anything?
Yes sir everyone contacts me personally by Facebook messenger and I just give them a call thanks!
What is the speed of your arrows? I shoot homemade osage self bows that shoot maybe 150 fps. Your arrows appear to be much faster.
They’re averaging in the upper 170’s at least the ones over 600 grains, you’ll gain a lot going to lighter arrows for sure but I’m not worried too much about speed at least at this point however a 500 grain arrow does shoot faster and flatter just doesn’t offer the silent bow advantage like the heavier ones do 👍🏻
One thing that helped me out tremendously with pinpoint accuracy was my actual grip on the string. If I hold up my three shooting fingers they are all different lengths. I would struggle with not only pinpoint accuracy but a sore third finger. It didn't matter if it was a basketball or an acorn on the target I'd be right around it. I started putting my three fingers ready to grab string and making sure all were at the same on edge putting string in first joint on all three and it put even pressure on all three instead of my third finger being last of string.......deep even hook....
That’s it!
@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 yeah you should do a video on that... you explain crap well
So do you have any recommendations for a recurve shorter than 60 inches. I like the ones you talked about for 60 inches, but would like something 58 or 56.
Yes sir the best shooting production 58” recurve I’ve found is a Super Grizzly
@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 who makes that Bear, was hoping you new of a bow the price point of the black knight, I think that's the one's you mentioned.
@@sqhunter65 honestly most all the Amazon recurves with bamboo core limbs and wood risers like the Toparchery are outstanding shooters with a custom string 👍🏻
Jeff you are so spot on it is rediculous. I fight that tucking it in every fall and once I do that it absolutely lines everything up and keeps me from plucking or messing up the release. But it lines my vision up for the launch. However........I have to admit.....there is a tomohawk and a widow that have killed excessive critters hanging on the wall because my vapor shoots where I look without effort.......
😁👍🏻
