Thanks for watching everyone. If you're interested in bowhunting as well check out my most recent video!! Cheers. czcams.com/video/hZdjNHbfJBM/video.html
Yo! Thanks for this. I really wanna get deep into compound bows. Never done it before, and this was extremely helpful. I appreciate you. Subscribed and following.
Nice video! Basic knowledges for just as much as important for the beginners. FYI, I am a Chinese girl whom just begin to fond of bows... looking forward to learn more from you.
I've hunted all my life.. and no one has ever sat me down and laid it all out like this.. I've just had to learn... Thanks for putting in this effort.. this is priceless for lots of us!
This is awesome been bowhunting and shooting for 30 years now this is probably the best beginner video I've seen. All about what is comfortable to you not about what's the most expensive you don't need a bow that shoots 500 fps to kill a deer.
Excellent advice. When I was a kid, my dad just bought me a bow. And that was that. I never knew WHY he chose it, or what the accessories were for, or what modifications I could make. That was it. Period.
I’m an “old dood” and I want to pay you a compliment on your personality & energy. It seems so many young women today are all about posing, posturing & “attitude”. You see this all over the net. It’s nice to see a young woman who appears happy to be in her own skin and happy with her life! Peace be with you! (And I hope you answer my earlier posed question).
Wow, simple and straight forward. A great recipe for a great video. As an avid fisherman who is taking up archery with the goal of bowhunting, this was FANTASTIC! Besides all the great advice like draw length, the part about the non-negotiable purchases that come along with the bow was wonderful.
Been shooting for 6 years now, and love it. I shoot every day, at least 5 arrows unless I'm traveling. I made a practice rig from my old bow string that I take with me.
Outdoors Allie somewhere in the middle. But it's been 14 years since I bought my last compound and thinking about upgrading. Kind of attached to my old one though....
Allie you should mention the "Ready to hunt, RTH" options when purchasing a bow. After you've purchased a RTH bow, you can always upgrade equipment at a later date. It's a great option especially when first starting out.
After shooting deer with a lever action 30/30 and 12 ga slugs in my 870 Remington I moved to Ohio and went to bow only getting my 1st deer with a 55 lb Bear Montana longbow. I had a custom bow made and killed 7 more deer over a decade. Now on my 70th trip around the sun I shoot a Mathews and enjoy the accuracy.
You basically covered everything I did wrong when I went out and purchased a 70lb compound bow. I ended up dry firing it and cracking two limbs, and painting inside my arm purple :D
Good advice! I started my archery hunting in the late 60's while a teenager using a recurve. Huge difference when I finally succumbed to the compound bow craze.
Myself and my wife are not hunters, but we are big on outdoors and back yard archery, camping, trail walks. I love watching married couples like yourself and Alexis outdoors. Where husbands and wives can enjoy outdoor activity's. Y'all are awesome.
I just saw this and I’m so so grateful I came across it! Thank you so much for taking the time to not only explain everything but also have links available in your videos description. This has helped me feel way less overwhelmed about where to start. I hope to begin practicing and hunting with my bow soon :)
Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine czcams.com/users/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.
For all the aspiring archers out there, I stumbled upon a phenomenal beginner's archery video online that is an absolute game-changer. Whether you're a complete novice or have a budding interest in this age-old sport, this video is an invaluable resource that will kickstart your journey toward mastering the art of archery. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
Best advise ever, buy from a shop. Our gold mine of a Bow shop here in northern California is West Coast Archery. Hans and Adrienne the owner bow hunt and shoot compition. Their customer service and knowledge is by far the best I've ever seen in my 40 years of bow hunting.
I shot compound about 3 years ago now and then my local archery shop shut down, so I didn’t really use my bow and sold it, so now I’m looking at getting into it again and this is a great video for a reminder of what I need
Blimey! Didn’t realise the cost of all this, and the gear you need! I live in England, and just don’t think we have shops like that, or at lest are aware of any! Brilliant video! Very very informative! However, going to have to consider this one now, and decide if it’s worth bothering with!
I always wanted to own a compact bow. I never owned one, but I'm looking buying one down the road. Hawkeye and Kate Bishop are my favorite Marvel characters. Great video.
Im a total noobie and your video helped me out so much. I watched a bunch of these what to buy or watch before you buy videos buy yours was the best. Simple and to the point. The gear is overwhelming!
@@OutdoorsAllie Cheers! Went to the shop today and spent like 4 hours picking out a bow getting it setup and walked out with a Hoyt Ventum 30! Your video helped a lot prior to going in!
I'm not a hunter, but I've been a compound archer for quite some years. 2 of the "non negociables" accessories aren't always required for doing compound archery (what this video is mostly about) - Release: with your type of bow, that gets very narrow at the nocking point, yes a release will be needed, but with other bows, you can perfectly shoot without a release, just your fingers (of course protected by a glove or tab). It really depends on the type and model of bow if you **need** a release, or if you **can use** one. - sight: it's a tool that helps you, but you can absolutely shoot arrows accurately too without a sight Other than that, very good video :)
Going out to purchase my first bow next week so I'm really glad I stumbled in to your channel. I'm a complete newbie and know nothing about bows or bow hunting. I've recently retired so now is the time to try new things...right??!! Soooo, this is the year my wife and I will get in to bow hunting. Thank you again!!
May I make a suggestion for you , look into the Bowtech infinite edge bow, it's very compact ,light, and most of all its very adjustable for draw length, and poundage of pull, as your strength increases you can up the pull on the bow, it's a bow that anyone can grow with, also affordable, you can add better gear as you get better, better sights, ect.also buy new so you don't buy problems , some used bows will need news strings bearings ,have been dry fired which can totally ruin a bow, learn the safety of using it and maintaining it like inspecting and waxing of strings, not hard to do hope you have a great experience
Thank you, I'm interested in purchasing my first bow for target shooting. Archery ranges are close by this will provide me with another outdoor activity.
im 16 and just got my hunting and gun licenses about two weeks ago, and i just bought my very first compound bow yesterday! thankyou so much for this video it helped a lot! i just hope i can get the hang of all this
Thank you for the real specifics including costs, equipment, etc.. your delivery and comments were much appreciated. I have not used a bow for more years than I’m going to state (uhm high school). I have a glock and a 22 rifle. My (grown) son who is active with firearms introduced me to these. He has recently purchased a torrex set up, which has stirred up my long slumbering archery desire. I’m on land so a practice spot would be easy. I’m signed up for a 3 day GA DNR BOW weekend in November with one of the courses being a general archery for hunting segment. In December at the same location a compound bow education. I’m a researcher and all in kind of dog with a bone gal when I have a passion. I appreciate your experience and informative video.
G'day from Australia. Watched the video and I now bought a compound bow. I have a couple of acres to practice on. Looking forward to participating in the sport.
FYI New Bowhunters: For about $375, you can get a great compound bow with infinitely adjustable draw lengths & weights, fully loaded (stabilizer, sight, arrow rest, etc...), arrows and a case. It's a Diamond Infinite Edge Pro by Bowtech. It was my first bow and I got my first deer with it (a big 6 point buck) 6 weeks after picking up a bow for the first time in my life and putting in hours of time at the range for practice. When you upgrade from it, you can pass it on to a younger hunter because it can be drawn down to much lighter weights & shorter draw lengths. Now I shoot a Mathews with all the prime accessories.
I was interested in this as a hobby during quarantine but this vid kindof set me away from buying into it, so thank you. Just way more complicated then I thought
I thought I would get my son. Into archery because we like weapons, then when I was a assembling his bow I though. “ I want that” now I have another one arriving. Neither of us have ever used one but can’t wait mate.
Just came across this video looking for something. And because im still a beginner, i got interested to watch. ive only been shooting arrows for about 2 months now. Im still learning. I didn't go through these steps but i wish i did so i could have chosen the right bow for me to buy. I bought a bow that i thought was the only one available, but its not too bad. But i still picked up some good stuff on this video. Like i said im still a beginner. I like this video, it has good information for beginners or wanting to start bow hunting or just target shooting. Thank you.
Also, I have a 7 year old daughter and I am trying to stay a couple of steps ahead of her while introducing her to the bow, so your content is helpful in that regard. I have no doubt she will surpass me soon but I intend to cheat till the last. Your videos will help her learn but also help me stave off the day that she beats me! Cheers!
Thanks for such an informative video. Im originally from a big city and never really thought about doing something like this until i moved to this small town. This was a good start to a curiosity of trying archery out
@@muddymuz7266 Hopefully it works out for you! I'm getting my first compound bow (used) from a family member but I'm glad I saw this so I can bring it to a shop and figure out if it's a good fit and have them tune it up. I thought I could just start using it before I saw this video lol.
@@nicole_a_11 haha! Right? My bow and I are off to the hunting shop tomoz for an adjust. Bought compound bow from hock shop for $250. Need to drop draw weight as 65lb is impossible atm! Will need to spend about another $140 I spose on arrows, target, arm guard etc. So I'm in for about $400. I CANT WAIT to have my bow set up and ready for use! Roll on tomoz!!! All the best Nicole. I'll keep my eye open for your comments around the beginner archery pages. Let's get good!!! 🏋️
So glad to hear that you're getting involved in archery! It will be a great journey. Thanks for watching, I will continue to put out content like this!
I said to one of my friends you can either pay with money or frustration. I bought my first bow at the pro shop, and while it was more expensive than buying online it was set up right when I walked out the door.
Very informative! A definitely must watch for any new archers out there. I’ve been doing it for at least 10 years now and I’m still learning new things!
Just founding out about the ‘hidden costs’ spent all my money on a nice Hoyt and definitely underestimated how much the accessories cost!!! Got the bow, got the target, got the free cap but for now all I can do is look at it till I’ve saved for the rest😂
Hello. In the infancy stages of Bow Knowledge. Seeking to become a skilled Bow man. This was the VERY FIRST video info that i viewed. Well done. This is Very Encouraging video. Great persona. Nice com skills. To the point. No fluff. What a time saver ( very very important to me!) To many vid makers get in their own way. Liked and Subscribed with first viewing. 😎
Ive been hunting for 20+ years started as a kid, mostly firearms, and have used a crossbow before but new to compound bows, I did however really enjoyed the vid, very informative thanks 👍🏻
Depending on what local shop you take it to (not cabellas, not bass pro, not sportsman's warehouse, and not academy sports) they generally give you life time tune ups. If you get a RTH or ready to hunt package, you don't have to buy all those accessories. Don't buy an online bow. Buy it in person. Hopefully at a local archery store, not a franchise.
I absolutely needed and loved this video, even if it's just to satisfy my random love for "beginner tips" videos. I do love the aesthetics of Archery and love movies with archer. And who knows what happens in the short future. Anyway I really appreciate it😁
This video was amazing! You totally read my mind about Craigslist... I'm ALL about that craigslist for most stuff but def not the best place for getting your first bow! My biggest learning moment so far has been my sight. I learned very quickly that the "bang on some plastic until you are sighted in" was not for me. I upgraded right away to a micro adjustable sight because in the long run I'll have more time to shoot my bow! Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks for this video, my daughter is 10 and wants to get into archery because it was fun at the summer camp she went to. Getting her a bow for Christmas and getting myself one as well so we can shoot together.
Tuning in from Jamaica, thinking of buying a Lanneret made Bow. Really enjoyed your content. I suppose if I buy one, I would have to bring it with me when I travel to the states.
Hi there many thanks for tips, guess iam a new bee to Compound archery but been shooting traditional English long bows at 100lb draw weight for around ten years, now I'm older I'm on a slightly easier compound, totally different in every way but loving it!
Absolutely right and I would highly recommend the additional expense of buying a bow press and doing that maintenance yourself because 700.00 up front is a cry once deal than spending that more in the long run. Yes I recommend all hunters get the rangefinders. If you have to guess the distance fine but it’s good to have the option of getting near dead on accurate ranges. Great video and awesome advice thank you.
I am a new to archery and wanted some more information before heading out to an Archery store .... Thanks for putting your video together you answered some questions for me ... Draw length and weight !!!!!
Good video. Definitely a lot of good things to think about when starting out. One thing I would like to point out is in the beginning when you're talking about equipment. The first choice someone needs to decide is whether to go instinctive or not. I bought a used bowl that had all the bells and whistles on it and was shooting decently but not great. I stripped everything off except for the drop-down arrow rest and stabilizer, and just went with a leather fingered glove and my grouping improved by inches. Some people can just shoot better like that. And it definitely helps to save on cost. Just something to think about
Great video for new starters , some good advice . I've been shooting for about 5 years both recurve and lever limb bows . CZcams has loads of resources for new and intermediate archers. Thanks
Im new to archery and I ordered me a bow on wish and I believe it was a recurve bow and now I'm like dang it. After watching this when I get it I'm going to take it to my local sporting goods store and see what tell me!
OK let me just say this as a tip and trick do your research on the bow she makes alot of good points like the draw length however the draw weight isn't as big as a problem most people go for a 70pound draw weight if you struggle to pull it back it just means you need to train yourself and trust me it pays off. Like I said do your research know everything about the bow including what every little part does and you can maintain it and service it yourself it's great fun I find alot of joy doing it. Learn to tune it yourself it's really fun to learn and only you will beable to get it just how you like it things will need to be replaced eventually but if you teach yourself how to do it trust me it works out alot cheaper.
Your video is pretty good, my family likes to go hunting and we usually use shotguns but using bow has been one of my dreams and with this information now I have at least the basics, thanks!!!!
You may go over 500 depending on the stuff you pick but I got a hoyt rx3 for 800 plus the quiver for it then paid an addition 400 bucks including taxes and services to get the bow tuned and adjusted for me.
Yeah first time buyer and archer and i can tell you this activity is like all things fun just designed to make you throw away money on gear! Every shop owner I've talked to will help you 3% and upsell you 97% it's a hard road getting into archery. I've never hand a bow, i don't need a Hoyt carbon redwrx rx4 ultra guy... "Bro you need!!! This now for your first bow!!" How bout NOOOOOO!!! SCOTTY DON'T!
The maintenance costs depend on how much you shoot...and the bow its self...I've shot hoyts my hole life had one for 10 years I shot everyday amd killed tons of deer with...never brought it in for maintence with no problems....switched to a liberty 2 years back and send it in every season to make sure it's all good
Hey Allie, love your videos. I shot some arrows today for the first time, however, it was a 65lb draw weight and I couldn’t even draw by myself, had to get my man to help me get to point where I could hold, aim and shoot. Now searching for a bow that will suit me. I am thinking a 50lb, don’t want to get a junior though as I am a fully grown woman 🤣 Also, my forearm is purple from the slap after that first release. I’m a mess 🤣
@@OutdoorsAllie I’m just getting into archery. Never did it before. Wasn’t interested until I moved to North Dakota where the only tags you can buy over the counter are bow tags. Thank you again!
im left handed and left eye dominant so when i went to my local shop i only had the one choice. so i am purchasing the 2020 Bear Paradox. its pretty adjustable so i feel its a great beginner bow. comes with a whisker biscuit an ok 4 pin sight and stabilizer already and with taxes was 615 dollars US
This was by far an excellent presentation... I’ll skip all the BS and come right down to it, I am 63 yrs old and a left handed shooter. Last time I shot was a Bear recurve 75lb bow in HS... It all sounded great until you hit the price tag... that’ll be something real hard to consider if I were to take it up again as a leisure hobby...again excellent presentation/ tips for 1st buyers 👏👏🇺🇸🤙🏽
Thanks for watching everyone. If you're interested in bowhunting as well check out my most recent video!! Cheers. czcams.com/video/hZdjNHbfJBM/video.html

I wonder if she is still with that Nick guy.. I haven't seen a video of hers in probably 3 years now.. Glad you're still humming along Allie..
I've hunted all my life.. and no one has ever sat me down and laid it all out like this.. I've just had to learn... Thanks for putting in this effort.. this is priceless for lots of us!
Glad it helped!
Her smile is brighter than my future!
Though u were kidding till I noticed u were right

For sure!

But i still picked up some good stuff on this video. Like i said im still a beginner. I like this video, it has good information for beginners or wanting to start bow hunting or just target shooting. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Andrew! Enjoy your new bow!
This is helpful iam a newbie , looking forwad to get my first bow & this is helpful in South Africa
Glad to hear it was helpful!
which one would you recommend for a beginner a compound bow , a recurve bow or longbow for Archery aswell as hunting deer ?
I am thankful for the information. I am a longtime firearms guy but I am drawn to the bow so it was nice to see a breakdown for an utter beginner.
Glad it helped!
Also, I have a 7 year old daughter and I am trying to stay a couple of steps ahead of her while introducing her to the bow, so your content is helpful in that regard. I have no doubt she will surpass me soon but I intend to cheat till the last. Your videos will help her learn but also help me stave off the day that she beats me! Cheers!
YUP, I'm a beginner looking and thinking about a bow and enjoyed your informative channel.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for such an informative video. Im originally from a big city and never really thought about doing something like this until i moved to this small town. This was a good start to a curiosity of trying archery out
Glad it was helpful!
I've been interested in archery for a while and am a noob so thank you for the great tips and advice, I needed this!
Same! I bought a bow a couple of days ago BEFORE watching this. I hope the draw length is okay, otherwise 😵
@@muddymuz7266 Hopefully it works out for you! I'm getting my first compound bow (used) from a family member but I'm glad I saw this so I can bring it to a shop and figure out if it's a good fit and have them tune it up. I thought I could just start using it before I saw this video lol.
@@nicole_a_11 haha! Right? My bow and I are off to the hunting shop tomoz for an adjust. Bought compound bow from hock shop for $250. Need to drop draw weight as 65lb is impossible atm! Will need to spend about another $140 I spose on arrows, target, arm guard etc. So I'm in for about $400.
I CANT WAIT to have my bow set up and ready for use! Roll on tomoz!!!
All the best Nicole. I'll keep my eye open for your comments around the beginner archery pages.
Let's get good!!!
🏋️
So glad to hear that you're getting involved in archery! It will be a great journey. Thanks for watching, I will continue to put out content like this!
@@muddymuz7266 All the beat to you as well! I am excited to start a bew potential hobby 😁
I said to one of my friends you can either pay with money or frustration. I bought my first bow at the pro shop, and while it was more expensive than buying online it was set up right when I walked out the door.
Very informative! A definitely must watch for any new archers out there. I’ve been doing it for at least 10 years now and I’m still learning new things!
Thanks Casey. Glad you liked it!
Knowing the tune of your bow is essential to double checking how trustworthy your local archery shop is. A lot easier than most people think.
I beginning to learn!
The first fully informative video I have seen. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Just founding out about the ‘hidden costs’ spent all my money on a nice Hoyt and definitely underestimated how much the accessories cost!!! Got the bow, got the target, got the free cap but for now all I can do is look at it till I’ve saved for the rest😂
Oh ya, it's expensive for sure!
Hello. In the infancy stages of Bow Knowledge. Seeking to become a skilled Bow man. This was the VERY FIRST video info that i viewed. Well done. This is Very Encouraging video. Great persona. Nice com skills. To the point. No fluff. What a time saver ( very very important to me!) To many vid makers get in their own way. Liked and Subscribed with first viewing.
😎
Glad it was helpful!
Ive been hunting for 20+ years started as a kid, mostly firearms, and have used a crossbow before but new to compound bows, I did however really enjoyed the vid, very informative thanks 👍🏻
Thanks for watching Roger!
I'm about to go on the archery journey thanks for the info.
Happy to hear that!
Bro your camera quality is impeccable. First thing I noticed
I appreciate that!
Youve taught me so much in a small period of time
Happy it helped!
Depending on what local shop you take it to (not cabellas, not bass pro, not sportsman's warehouse, and not academy sports) they generally give you life time tune ups. If you get a RTH or ready to hunt package, you don't have to buy all those accessories. Don't buy an online bow. Buy it in person. Hopefully at a local archery store, not a franchise.
Great video. I’m just getting into long bows and compound. I’ve been a shot gunner for over 35 years.
Thanks for watching John!
I absolutely needed and loved this video, even if it's just to satisfy my random love for "beginner tips" videos. I do love the aesthetics of Archery and love movies with archer. And who knows what happens in the short future. Anyway I really appreciate it😁
Glad you liked it Alex!
Thank you for well informed video. I just made the decision not to buy my first compound bow but my first bolt action rifle.
Awesome!!! You will love it!
You shot me through the heart.
And your to blame! Darling you give looove a *bad name!*
This video was amazing! You totally read my mind about Craigslist... I'm ALL about that craigslist for most stuff but def not the best place for getting your first bow! My biggest learning moment so far has been my sight. I learned very quickly that the "bang on some plastic until you are sighted in" was not for me. I upgraded right away to a micro adjustable sight because in the long run I'll have more time to shoot my bow! Thanks for the awesome video!
I would say knowing and understanding the anatomy of a bow will help with making a decision.
For sure.
Thanks for this video, my daughter is 10 and wants to get into archery because it was fun at the summer camp she went to. Getting her a bow for Christmas and getting myself one as well so we can shoot together.
SOOO happy to hear that!!
Tuning in from Jamaica, thinking of buying a Lanneret made Bow. Really enjoyed your content. I suppose if I buy one, I would have to bring it with me when I travel to the states.
That's awesome. Do it!
Hi there many thanks for tips, guess iam a new bee to Compound archery but been shooting traditional English long bows at 100lb draw weight for around ten years, now I'm older I'm on a slightly easier compound, totally different in every way but loving it!
Happy to hear that Ross!
Absolutely right and I would highly recommend the additional expense of buying a bow press and doing that maintenance yourself because 700.00 up front is a cry once deal than spending that more in the long run. Yes I recommend all hunters get the rangefinders. If you have to guess the distance fine but it’s good to have the option of getting near dead on accurate ranges. Great video and awesome advice thank you.
Thanks for the feedback Chris!
I've been told to watch for last year's model bows to go on sale as well when trying to find a deal
Good tip!
I am a new to archery and wanted some more information before heading out to an Archery store .... Thanks for putting your video together you answered some questions for me ... Draw length and weight !!!!!
Glad to help
Thank you so much for this breakdown. Trying to get into archery with my 14yr old daughter.
Glad it was helpful!
Good video. Definitely a lot of good things to think about when starting out. One thing I would like to point out is in the beginning when you're talking about equipment. The first choice someone needs to decide is whether to go instinctive or not. I bought a used bowl that had all the bells and whistles on it and was shooting decently but not great. I stripped everything off except for the drop-down arrow rest and stabilizer, and just went with a leather fingered glove and my grouping improved by inches. Some people can just shoot better like that. And it definitely helps to save on cost. Just something to think about
Thanks for the feedback Brian!
Great tips for a beginner, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video for new starters , some good advice . I've been shooting for about 5 years both recurve and lever limb bows . CZcams has loads of resources for new and intermediate archers. Thanks
Yes, CZcams is a great resource. Thanks for watching Gary!
Great video. My daughter is interested in learning and starting archery. I know nothing about it so this helped a lot. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Im new to archery and I ordered me a bow on wish and I believe it was a recurve bow and now I'm like dang it. After watching this when I get it I'm going to take it to my local sporting goods store and see what tell me!
Always a good idea. Thanks for watching Jasmine!
@@OutdoorsAllie so happy I can get into archery and it's not bc of Katniss haha
A lot of good information there thank you Miss Allie🐝
Thanks for watching!
I am diving into learning archery/bowhunting this year and this video was super helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful Colin!
I wish I watched this video before buying a bow. Thanks for the GREAT info.
Thanks for watching Chelsea!
Somewhat in the middle. just ordered a new vxr... cant wait. Alot of great tips for beginners.keep it up!
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Your gonna love it. 👍
Love your videos !
OK let me just say this as a tip and trick do your research on the bow she makes alot of good points like the draw length however the draw weight isn't as big as a problem most people go for a 70pound draw weight if you struggle to pull it back it just means you need to train yourself and trust me it pays off. Like I said do your research know everything about the bow including what every little part does and you can maintain it and service it yourself it's great fun I find alot of joy doing it. Learn to tune it yourself it's really fun to learn and only you will beable to get it just how you like it things will need to be replaced eventually but if you teach yourself how to do it trust me it works out alot cheaper.
Your video is pretty good, my family likes to go hunting and we usually use shotguns but using bow has been one of my dreams and with this information now I have at least the basics, thanks!!!!
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it!
Arno?
Thank You for have it nice and clear, I like the way you present , got me smile all the way to the end.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Lots of good info. A good base line for the stuff you actually need is about 300-400 dollars roughly minus the bow.
Yes, true.
You may go over 500 depending on the stuff you pick but I got a hoyt rx3 for 800 plus the quiver for it then paid an addition 400 bucks including taxes and services to get the bow tuned and adjusted for me.
Newbie but watching and learning as much as I can to ensure I don’t over purchase or get ripped. Good info
I hope it helped!
I also bought a case and and new airrows and airrows haed and all the things but t g e rage finder I'm still going to buy it
Yeah first time buyer and archer and i can tell you this activity is like all things fun just designed to make you throw away money on gear! Every shop owner I've talked to will help you 3% and upsell you 97% it's a hard road getting into archery. I've never hand a bow, i don't need a Hoyt carbon redwrx rx4 ultra guy... "Bro you need!!! This now for your first bow!!" How bout NOOOOOO!!! SCOTTY DON'T!
LoL it sure is expensive. So much fun though!
@@OutdoorsAllie haha agreed...
Bruh this the perfect video I’ve been looking for
Glad to hear that!
The maintenance costs depend on how much you shoot...and the bow its self...I've shot hoyts my hole life had one for 10 years I shot everyday amd killed tons of deer with...never brought it in for maintence with no problems....switched to a liberty 2 years back and send it in every season to make sure it's all good
Very informative, I'm new, and this helped.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Allie, love your videos. I shot some arrows today for the first time, however, it was a 65lb draw weight and I couldn’t even draw by myself, had to get my man to help me get to point where I could hold, aim and shoot.
Now searching for a bow that will suit me. I am thinking a 50lb, don’t want to get a junior though as I am a fully grown woman 🤣
Also, my forearm is purple from the slap after that first release.
I’m a mess 🤣
hahahahahha been there! That's awesome to hear that you're getting into it!
VERY USEFUL THANK YOU.
Glad it was helpful!
u can skip range finder for shure... just mark a distance each 10 yards and teach urself apox distances...
I found this video very helpful. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
@@OutdoorsAllie I’m just getting into archery. Never did it before. Wasn’t interested until I moved to North Dakota where the only tags you can buy over the counter are bow tags. Thank you again!
im left handed and left eye dominant so when i went to my local shop i only had the one choice. so i am purchasing the 2020 Bear Paradox. its pretty adjustable so i feel its a great beginner bow. comes with a whisker biscuit an ok 4 pin sight and stabilizer already and with taxes was 615 dollars US
No too bad! I hope you have a blast Will!
This was by far an excellent presentation... I’ll skip all the BS and come right down to it, I am 63 yrs old and a left handed shooter. Last time I shot was a Bear recurve 75lb bow in HS... It all sounded great until you hit the price tag... that’ll be something real hard to consider if I were to take it up again as a leisure hobby...again excellent presentation/ tips for 1st buyers 👏👏🇺🇸🤙🏽
Thanks for watching!!!
I've been following you on Instagram for over a year now and had no idea you did youtube videos! This video is a great introduction, thank you.
Awesome! Thank you Jake!
Love your channel! Great information!
Glad you enjoy it!
