- archery - recurve shooting technique with my hoyt helix

[HOMExSKILLET]

whats that thing sticking out of the front

[AudaciousInrush]

@HOMExSKILLET All it is a rest. It allows you to rest your bow on the ground when not in use.

[georgewbadmonkey]

@AudaciousInrush actually it's a stabiliser... it helps to keep the bow steady while you aim which is handy when the target is 90 metres away. also helps absorb any vibration caused by the shot.

[Kezza121212]

You will most likely end up with a huge callous across the back of your fingers. Either that or flayed skin

[BillyDa59]

Is it absolutely necessary to use finger tabs when shooting a recurve? I just started shooting a bow and I don't use any safety stuff like that. Am I gonna mess up my fingers?

[ThePengweijian]

you are trowing finger!!!!!

[coverman97]

im wondering what is the big pole sticking off the bow? maybe a sight or something?

[scoffer2829]

@coverman97 lol a long rod for ballance

[coverman97]

@scoffer2829 ha ok sorry im a dumbass

[shining8889]

Ok i want to do archery but dnt no wat size bow to get so wat size bow shuld i get im 5ft tall

[animelover652]

Nice technique. where you shooting 90 meters?

[MultiSniper14]

What is a fingersling?

[animelover652]

@MultiSniper14 a fingersling is a peice of fabric that goes around you thumb, bow and back to your index finger(what ever finger you like best), then they're wrist slings.

wat tha hell speak some english please

[pkrange002]

check da mussles lol XD

[bluther979]

damn whats thosw weird things at the end i have done archery but whats the point of them?

[Demoman42]

I don't like these kinda bows.. bow for me must be made from wood, and without any super duper gadgets. Simple and beautiful, like in middle ages .. :]

[SamLFisher]

i agree with you. I like longbows and wooden arrows. Just wish I had one.

[Demoman42]

@SamLFisher It's very easy to make a bow ^^ but much harder to make an arrow ^^

[WarriorPuss]

@Demoman42 completetly true, i took shooting up recently and tried both, this sort sucks,

still that's only my opinon, anyone wants to some easy gadgetty shooting, that's his problem :)

[flabluby]

im getting a compoundbow with 4 pound draw weight is that enough to hunt atleast squirrel or rabbits?

[jgomes1992]

do u like that poud limbs im thinking of getting them because i want 2 reach targets at 40 50 yards

[snipingsheep]

yes, but i don't know your arrows and your draw length

[MultiSniper14]

@snipingsheep how do you get that roll in the bow after you shoot i can't get that on my bow i also do competions to how do you get the roll of the bow after you release?

[snipingsheep]

@MultiSniper14 relax your bowhandfingers and let the bow jump forvard. you also need a fingersling. or maybe your stabilisator isn`t topheavy enough.

[animelover652]

@MultiSniper14 you don't have to have a roll in the bow. It wont make you shoot any better. It depends on how the bow is set up and how it feels to you.

[BurningBridges100]

You have an open release?

When you do your push-pull, let your string-hand slide behind your ear. Don't try to release it away from your face. It might affect the flight of your arrow.

Let your right elbow and back muscles do all the work.

If possible, try to work on it.

Everything else is amazing. :)

[snipingsheep]

yes thank you :-)

this is the reason why i'm shooting the compound since dezember :-D. now it works! i worked more than 3 years at this problem. a video from my compound shooting will follow soon...

[georgewbadmonkey]

@snipingsheep nice form... very solid!

[JuventusForever94]

What distance were you shooting at here ?

[snipingsheep]

70m

[chonne81]

hoyt 990cx limbs?? there is no model like that its : 900 cx or 990 tx...

[snipingsheep]

sry write error 900cx is correct

[chonne81]

:) hehe okey thats alright.. do you still shoot whit that limbs?.. i shot in sweden and i use G3 40# limbs nad i love them.. i tried the 900 cx but i i think they are the same only thing is the 900 is a little smoother to draw thats it.

[chonne81]

i forgot i shoot with a Aerotech 2007 riser that i have rebuild a little bit.. and i LOVE MY RISER

[snipingsheep]

just in time i shoot a compound to get a timeout maybe for a year or so..

[halofighter12345]

Ok i kno its a dumb question, but wat is the stabilizer for and why does everyone let it swing after the shot? thanks

[PraetorADV]

@halofighter12345 Stabilizer is for absorbing the shock and to act as a counterbalance. It swings forward after every shot because you aren't suppose to grip the bow. The point is to let everything fall forward.

[kleeenerchamp]

Nice !! i have a eclibse

[SV4427]

Now that's good shooting, there's only one thing going wrong. From the moment you touch your jaw, it musn't take more than 3 seconds to shoot. Your shot takes approximately 6 to 9 seconds. The reason is not physical, it's mental. And since 80% of archery is mental, it's important. As soon as you take more than 3 seconds, your active concentration is already thinking about something else. You become distracted and subconsciously start thinking, and because of that, your muscles tense.

[JuventusForever94]

really really good shooting .

you keep ur arms perfectly straight and ur technique is great .

How long is ur stabilizer ?

[snipingsheep]

thank you! its a 31.5" stabilizer

[DeathDealer49]

erst mal danke für commen bei mir wen du noch was besser machen wilst versuche entspanter zu lösen aber mehr speed rein zu bringen. Zweite sache deine bogen hand es schaut so aus als wärst du nur auf dem daumen mit dem druck durch das wirst du kaum ein schönes spriengen lassen zusamen briengen. mfg ein anderer Bogenschütze

[blackfeatherarchery]

Should of actually had the camera behind you to give a better view of the shooting,

[snipingsheep]

im still shooting a helix. i like the bow so why should i buy a new one ^^

[ARCHERYGB]

the formula rx is way better

[snipingsheep]

the formula didn't exist before a month! and i don't know anyone who is shooting with him actually

[1441ish]

Just because it is the latest does not mean it is the Greatest !!!

[snipingsheep]

yes you are totally right!

[DaigurenHynomaru]

Its barely been out at all my coach dosen't even have one yet

[flottynator]

hey kuhl ein video aus warendorf ich find euern platz echt schön da hatt man echt seine ruhe

[ravejet39]

[snipingsheep]

autsch yeah thank you i'll have a look

[bassjorge]

is an aurora backpack maybe??

[snipingsheep]

yes youre right its an aurora backpack. the best solution to carry your bow, i think

[bassjorge]

[snipingsheep]
