heres one, cant (tilt) your bow just a little. (for right handed, clockwise, for left, counter clockwise.) actually thats more of a RULE for hunting. now for target shooting, you hold it verticly
heres one, cant (tilt) your bow (for right handed, clockwise, for left, counter clockwise.) actually thats more of a RULE for hunting. now for target shooting, you hold it verticly
Another Tip: Lean slightly forward when you shoot. I've the feeling that I get better results by doing that. Lean into it :)
And yet another Tip: You use two diffrent kinds of arrows. Thats perfectly finde, but...Dont mix them while shooting. Every kind of arrow behaves differently. If you mix them, you wont get balanced results. Arrows with longer feathers wont fly as far as arrows with long feathers. If you mix them...lets just say, dont do that if you want perfect shots in a row ;)
Tip: Place your arrows right next beside you, so you dont have to move to pick a new one up. If you can keep your exact position, your results are more balanced. And with well-balanced shooting results you can find out the differences between shots. If you move between two shots, and one shot is great and the other one messed up, you would have no way of knowing why those two shots are so different. Keep a steady position and dont move between shots :) Sorry for my bad english
nice. glad to see you dont shoot training wheels. :D
your group was a little far back, and you were shooting vanes and aluminum arrows. man if you get some ceder arrows and turkey feather fletches, you will become a MUCH better shooter.
@Damico07 yes this is true but i was just pointing out the fact that a 35 pound bow can hunt things people think you need the fastest and strongest bows possible to hunt im just saying that that is not true at all but yes state laws differ so yeah
it looks goodonly you need to slow own and you need to old longer than that. You dont need ood arros just any arrow with the same grain and spine with feather fletch. You just need to hold longer and change ditances more. Also avery three or so shots put an arra on the shelf and hld it with out the string a look down it and act like your shooting so you can see where to shoot. Good luck
Varying range and position of target is excellent advice, also very good advice about breathing.SLOW DOWN i would have put 2 arrows in the target in the time it took you to put 9 in. I think i see some 'fishtailing' as u loose the arrows, grip on the bow too tight, but the more tired u get the looser it will get! which means, try to relax from the start. i love that u r achieving reasonable groupings without a sight, way to go, the best shots are the instinctive ones! post an update some time...
Hi! good grouping but none of them are a clear kill. I've been hunting rabbits at ranges of forty to sixty yards in the uk for some years now, please allow me to offer some advice. From your style and type of target i'm guessing you want to hunt with it, fabulous. Act like a hunter, every time you shoot, there is no such thing as 'practice'. Wear what you would wear, position your arrows so that you don't have to move your feet to get one (very important)
yeah in philippines it took me about 5 months to find someone who sells recurve bow and they all suggesting me to buy composite bows i hate those sellers and aprox. php. 15,000 or usd 324
Your not suppose top use cardbon arrows or any metals arrows on a wood bow. U should use wood on wood. i heard and i know from my bow as some bad marks from those> and to frenk wood feel better on wood bow.
i think i have the same bow as you but im not sure. There is no writing on it other than 47# 58". Thats 47lbs and 58 inches but i need to know what length of string and what type. I measured it and its 60 inches long. Help will be appreciated.
general rule of thumb on recurves is the string is 4 inches shorter than the bow, so you would need a 56"string, just make sure when you measure the bow you measure it correctly
here are a few tips. first, dont wear open toed shoes when practicing. those tips can hurt if you drop em, believe me. invest in an arm guard. they arent expensive and they really do help. other than that, your grouping is very good. just be sure to practice at a variety of ranges and posisions. especially sitting in a chair and on a knee.
im looking to buy a recurve that i can deer hunt with what poundage do you think is needed to kill a deer i was thinking about at least 35 but im not sure so if any one knows please tell me and how much do you think i should spend
as for angles, if straight in front of you is 0 degrees and directly behind is 180. example is having targets set up so: 5m at 0 degrees, 15 at 45, 10 at 300 and 20 at 340. then mix them up every so often or add more. this way you dont robin hood (hit your own arrows) as often, you develope instinctive accuracy both left and right and up and down (width and range). another supplement is to move to a dif position every shot or two.
Lol im a bit of a chatter box, when you sight focus on something precise, a dot the size of your thumb nail or somthing. relax your fingers to release, dont jerk them, let the string slip away. use MULTIPLE targets at DIFFERENT RANGES, POSITIONS AND ANGLES. this allows you to develope your instinctive shooting ability, rather than your mental calculative one. no less than four. eg, one five meters, one ten, one fifteen one twenty.
also, make sure you use your dominant eye, find an anchor point and sighting style which work for you. try different drawing styles, Japanese, mongolian, western etc. and when you sight, contentrate completely, feel yourself doing each shot, as silly as it sounds, it improves your accuracy, all archers know this. only use extras like sights and stabilisers if you want to, i dont, i hate them, they ruin the vibe. i use a bow, arrows, quiver, glove, thats it.
Very nice, only tips i have are, inhale as you nock, begin exhalation as you draw and site, once finished exhaling, fire, this way your body is still and harmonious as you release, it takes some getting used to but works. dont hold your breath tho breath natural as UNKLBGTN said. try not to wear baggy clothes. draw with your back muscles as well, pull your shoulder blades together. i find bicep curls and push ups help for high pound trad bows. remember to relax and enjoy.
like moscowdash said, slow down and have a lose grip round the bow, just a finger and a thumb losely, and oh yh, white sock with sandals, not a good idea hehe only jokin :D
Lookin good! The only thing I see is that you have quite a bit of limb tip movement just before your release. This will throw the shot left or right a little. Are you gripping the bow a little tight? Still, looks good and only 2 flyers in that group. As far as I;m concerned, that's a dead deer when the time comes!
if u shoot like that u dont need tips
