      One thing I learned was to draw and push push the bow forward at the same time as I setup for the shot.

    You can tell someone is good at a thing when they do it well, you can tell someone is smart at what they do when they can break it down to you perfectly, good job using the camera angle.

    As a beginnwr archer at 81years[bucket goal], and having viewed many "how" techniques from many "CZcams" experienced archers, this has got to be the MOST structured and comprehensive beginner tutorial presentation so far!! Give it a view, endorse it if you agree and encourage the beginner archer to review it as many times as is neccesary for continual improvemnt, success and enjoyment of the sport!

  • @stringpicker5468
    @stringpicker5468 Před 27 dny

    The Olympic gold medal winning coach who taught my daughter reckoned the key to shoulder position was reaching towards the target with the bow arm. Mr Lee was Korean and used to say "Jodi muss reach always muss reach" she was a long way from a beginner being the number one for her age in the country, but it still applied. My other thought is get a finger tab on, because there is a risk of nerve damage to the fingertips, especially in young archers. I held Archery Australia level 2 and this was drummed into us on the coaches courses. I have no other issues and your explanations are nice and clear,s o good work. That basic set up with the low shoulder is so important in injury prevention.

    I seems to shoot better without sight. The brain seems to tell me where to aim and it was right. I am sure you will talk about this one day.

    • @ArcheryHouse
      @ArcheryHouse  Před 9 měsíci

    Good Advice, it still makes me smile watching old films of Fred Bear the grandfather of modern archery, he did so many things wrong according to archers of today, full finger grip of the riser, not much if any follow through, but yet he made it work.

    • @kennethkleespie2579
      @kennethkleespie2579 Před 9 měsíci +1

      For your information Fred Bear was a right handed shooter who lost a finger on his right hand. He had to switch and become a left handed shooter. He also won a lot of championships, but most importantly she is teaching you target archery stance and form where Fred was a hunter there is a big difference

    For any one who doesnot shoot but wants to learn really important to find an archery class or range or soneone tgat shhot ghat will show you the ropes..
    It's a lot of fun.. you dont have to pull the biggest bow orcdraw weight . Find an easy puller to start with.. lots of fun.. i used to build my own arrows over beers with my hunting buddy.
    Lots of fun

    Great videa, as a leaner myself and reason im here is because ive not started my course yet so for about two months been constantly watching vids on form ect. I'm happy to say im doing everything youre saying. Only thing ive not done and this now makes sense to why my arrows go to the left as a right handed archer, i use Huntington arrows and never realised why one fletcher is white. Now i know. Thankyou so much as this will really help my already good bunching. Definitely a follow from a new and hopefully competitive archer, even at 52 i cant see why not.

    the soft shot , that was VERY helpful for my understanding , also wasn't explained to me at all , but i understand now what i need to do . i might have made this properly few times but not understanding what i did correctly , and managed to get few 10 shot on 10 meters

      @@ArcheryHouse that’s great to hear. We just finished watching most of your videos. You are an excellent teacher by the way. We are both looking forward to your next CZcams video and are now eager to get going with it.

    Your video was amazingly clear and to the point. I can't think of one way to improve on it.
    You have a delightful personality that makes the video pleasant to watch.
    I'm one of the instructors of the youth for our church. We have a club we call, "Pathfinders". Scouts are a bit like us but we include boys and girls so whole families can go on our trips together. Sometimes to a zoo, or museum, other times camping to study nature. Oft times we will have mom or dad be counselor for other kids so they get a break. It actually works!
    I found your video while searching as I will be teaching the archery honor to our kids tomorrow and thought it wise to brush up. Your video is so good, I'm planning to show it to the kids.
    The youth get a patch they can display on a sash after completion of an honor. Boy and girl scouts are very similar in that way. I say similar because our church leaders organized a youth club about the same year Boy Scouts came to America. I was a boy scout all my younger years and greatly appreciate the privilege to have been a scout. I didn't know of my current church until 1969. I was pleasantly surprised they had a youth club similar to the Boy scouts I had enjoyed.
    To earn the basic honor our youth must identify all the parts of bow and arrow and show they can safely string a bow.
    At 60 feet they must score 40 points on a 2 foot target at 60 feet with 30 arrows. The requirements were intended to make it possible for youth to at least earn the basic honor in a reasonable amount of time with practice. Make something too hard and kids get frustrated.
    The advanced honor allows them to add a star shaped silver pin to the patch. For that they must score 140 points on 2 foot target at 60 feet with 30 arrows, or for outdoor archery they must score 200 points on 4 foot target at 100 feet.
    My experience has been it is harder for beginners to get the required points on the four foot target due to the greater distance. A small error on release is magnified into large error on the more distant target.
    This will be the fourth time I have taught archery to youth in our church. I have seen numerous kids brought to church in a carrier shortly after birth. They grew up and I recently began attending weddings for them. We now have a new batch coming up, it is so rewarding to see the shine on their face when they realize they have earned something they had to work for. I suppose in a few years my "kids" will be bringing their own new born to church in a carrier just as they were when I first saw them.
    I was able to create arm guards using vinyl I bought at Joann's Fabric store. I sewed elastic and velcro strips to the vinyl, it worked amazingly well and cost a fraction of buying 12 arm guards. Now I need to dig through the storage boxes and find all the archery gear. Many thanks for this amazing video.

      Thank you for this message! I am happy to hear about the basic honor badge. I think that is so rewarding to make the scores more attainable for all ages and skill levels through the pathfinders organization! I am so happy we can all keep the sport alive with the younger generations! Reach out if you ever have any questions! Good luck on your class tomorrow!
