How to Shoot a Bow & Arrow : Correct Arrow Release for Shooting a Bow & Arrow

[angrybirds957]

That looks like the one I used in camp and they taught me the exact same way but they told me how to position ur feet correctly and other stuff I forgot. Other then that cool video

[mrfreemix]

that was the least informative and vague video ever...

[wriginotebook]

what kind of bow are you using?

nice video :)

[MathewsHunter117]

@wriginotebook Its a Mathews Genesis

[DanielMedcalf]

Guys, saying that he sucks because he missed the target? Why are you even watching this video on how to shoot the arrow?

[PianoFairy167]

Where could someone get a bow and arrow?and I mean the real kind, not the plastic ones with suction cup or eraser ends... B/c I'm having a pretty hard time trying to shoot those. And I can't pull the arrow all the way back b/c the arrow is too short and I'm scared I'll break the bow!

[DanielMedcalf]

@PianoFairy167 You can get them at cabellas.

[danielduhm]

WOW notice where the arrow hits on the first camera view of his shot! He misses the paper to the right and then they get a close up of him shooting an almost bulls eye! bahahaahaha laaaame!

[Acg3996]

@MrTiefel Hi! I also dealt with this dilemma about 4 months ago when I was purchasing a bow. I am 15 years old, 6'2" and 210 lbs. I ended up purchasing the Redhead Kronik bow at BPS. I bought the 50-60 lb pull simply so I could dial the poundage back for target an dial it up for hunting. It has served me well in the short time I have used it. The Redhead bows are all made by Bowtech, so they are made with care. Happy shooting!

[marlo7777777]

hey guys be nice ok hes old so dont hate 

[blackfeatherarchery]

Lol,

[optiKalismo]

.....really dude...thats all you have to say about shooting a bow...SMH

[supertechdeckpaper10]

i use a beginners long bow it came with one of those finger tab things that protect your fingers but i cant figure out how to use it while my fingers wont fit in it any way

so what should i do the bow string hurts my fingers

[Zdutchman123]

aiming down the arrow is the dumbest thing you can do when shooting without a sight...

[RAVENBOYbc]

sheesh, expert village is like the WORST instructional shit out there

[yugadino93]

uh.....dude.....

[thiatheheroine]

i've had my bow for about 24 hours and I could give a better instructional video for this. Peice of advice; you want to shoot something that takes real skill? COmpound bows and awesome for hunting, if you want to go out and do some action, they ROCK. But I like traditional bows better. They take more skill and practice.

[peeblaize1]

basicly a guy shooting an arrow at a target from 5 feet away

[bigv147v]

Bullseye!!!! Oh wait.....

[jimmyofbethesda]

Awesome bow.

[AlwaysLoveOutcasts]

thank u... this vid TOTALLY explains a lot 2 me. I will FOR SURE use it. Dang, I love sarcasm :)

[recurvebow420]

i feel sorry for this guy.

[recurvebow420]

i feel sorry for this guy

[CHECKOUTMYBALLS900]

another expert village fail their vids suck sweaty NUTTS!!

[ilinnuc]

I like how at 1:08 he doesn't even shoot on target but on the replay thing its nearly on the dot....

[TheFlowrider101]

is a release easier??



[BioHazardsProduction]

expert village is dumb

[DuckHunter813]

Jut buy a release its a lot easier

[ultislasher1]

WTF an EIGHT from a METER?! Yeah... total expert SUCK YOU

[ultislasher1]

alot of ummsss.....

[mgdiccion]

wow..that helps!!!

[TheBhahabatas]

you didn't released correct. you realesed WRONG

[PuffyWuffy5]

My school is shooting with those kinds of bows!!!!! Its rly fun but i suck at it :P. I need more practice. O, and im right handed but i have to pull back with my left hand cuz im left eye dominant. I thought it would b hard at first but it made everything alot easier!

[Halofreak131313]

@marisel20002001 unless he uses a compound that has an axle length of 44 inches or he uses a traditional bow you basically have to use a release to shoot effectively, unless his draw length is 15 inches, the vertex of the angle at the anchor point scrunches your fingers together not allowing for a god hold or release

[25pointbuck1]

dude u suck at shooting a ur old so shut the f up dumb ass

[Halofreak131313]

its one finger over two under usually, unless your shooting traditional, and you dont shoot a compound with fingers, you use a release

[slmsdude147]

Wow. 10 ft and he shot about 1 inch low.

[theofficiallily]

Where did you get the bow??

[Windflowngng]

U HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK FUCK FUCK U ARE FUCKING TALKING ABOUT !!! 3 FINGERS ON A COMPOUND BOW WITHOUT A QUICK RELEASE ???? ARE U A RETARD OR do u have MENTAL SICKNESS !??!?!

[theschizoid1]

@Windflowngng This is a hybrid bow , it is a compound that shoots with the characteristics of a recurve bow. They have no set draw lenght and no break point. A recurve with the punch of a compound and is good for snap shooting at any draw length or for multiple users . Also makes a good fishing bow. They can be shot with finger draw just fine.

[biggentry3]

This is a really bad video about shooting a bow. He as no clue what he is talking about

[HoboLifeDrew]

why are these vids so short?

[stormdude10234]

HAHA HE MISSED !

[biglu2]

many people say genisis bows are gay or dis and dat and blah blah blah but its not the bow that makes the shots accurate its the shooter and i can back that up because a guy acctually went to the national championships in vegas and shot a PERFECT 300 WITH IT!!!!!!!! that just goes to show you who the real archers are and who the amateurs are

[22eman57]

what is the draw on that compoud? thats not very good archery tip, doof

[LotusDragon09]

"On behalf of Expert Village, I would like to welcome you."

Oh good. Now it doesnt matter what the person says or how he/she teaches, as long as I feel welcomed.

[SnipTheSnipper]

YAY A GENISIS BOW!

[kbchoi99]

WOW look at that aim!! i couldve done a bull's eye!

[kbchoi99]

wow. YOU need some instructional videos

[sxeTj]

i hate expertvillage... there logo should be come here for the worst and poorly instructional videos u can get

[Gryffon225]

Tutut... punching the release hand is bad form :(

[turfguy87]

@astrickmonkey beginner village lmao

[codester2012]

I could hit closer to the Bullseye...I have never shoot a bow...but he was only like 10 feet away...

[lugiamaster9707]

@codester2012 then you would not know that even standing 10ft away from the target if you hold the bow wrong, release wrong, rest your arrow and use different weight and length arrows changed your shot...

[jreyes619]

ERRONEOUS!!!

[troodon2]

everybody has so many critic on this video, he is right! everybody shoots with a release these days, i know that is very accurate, but it really requires skill to shoot a bow with your fingers, i go hunting with a recurve bow and i shoot with BARE fingers, the first weeks i had blisters all over my fingers

[lugiamaster9707]

@troodon2 i love shooting and i used a recurve with bare fingers and it hurts heaps, then i got a compound and some finger grips with it so there is leather between my fingers and the string

[brysonwilliams70]

index above the arrow nock while middle and ring finger are below the arrow nock. this is a terrible instructional video no wonder he shoots a target 5 ft away

[kiltbiker1]

so thats what I have been doing wrong, I was just letting it slip off my fingers. I tried it and it works

[kidfresh536]

im movin there soon i wanna try this !

[thepuppetmagician]

I just need aiming down thats the big problem.

[BeeGreeen]

NO ONE LISTEN TO ALL THE CRITICAL PEOPLE! this video really helped me and i was doing it wrong! thanks for the video

[brysonwilliams70]

@BeeGreeen your learning bad habits then. you can be ok, but never good. bad habits are a bitch to undo

[scottishkiwi23]

how the fuck could he miss the bullseye from that far away? these expert villiage guys are retarded

[scgriffey]

I am really curious on how someone that would have experience with shooting a bow and arrow with a target distance of 10 ft away could at the very least hit the bullseye. I mean even if you missed in real life, reshoot the video to show you can hit it rather than just hit the target. It kills your credibility, if you can't get the job done with it that close... Its like.. Ok you wounded the animal but now its pissed and is comin at you, so turn around and drop your bow and run!

[ahz123]

@scgriffey This video wasn't about hitting the target, it was about proper shooting form.

[mxARCHERxm]

@scgriffey If you knew anything about archery, you would realize that what he is shooting is a light bow. Light bows weigh about 5-6 pounds and are incredibly hard to be accurate with (I am a professional archer and have shot a bow just like that). He is also talking and very distracted while shooting, adding to the difficulty. I'd like to see you go out and kill an animal while talking to a camera with a bow that draws 5-6 pounds. If you can, I will be very impressed. Think before talking.

[noahk09]

dont listen to curtiskid101 you bend your bow arm just a little bit thats what i do and i used to have the same problem curtiskid u dont know what u are talkin about

[BadIdeas101]

I have a compound small game bow and i keep hitting my forearm with the string, is there a way to keep my arm from bleeding after about 20 shots? Yes I know I'm an idiot.

[curtiskid101]

yeah there is a way or 2 the first way is your sort of leaning to the left or right when you draw the bow back do it straight not leaned or if your doing good with the other way you can just buy a armguard there ya go and goodluck =D

[TheHuntaz]

Theres a thing called and arm guard or forearm guard. Look it up they are pretty cheap

[yogitoresport]

omg same here!!!! i need help with that too.

[JeffSCorn]

You can buy an armguard for about $3 from any archery shop. The problem may be that the bow is swaying when you let go. I occasionally do the same thing, so I went with the guard.

[lugiamaster9707]

@BadIdeas101 i know this reply is way not needed but just to let you know you can get into the habbit of bending your bow arm a little orr get a cheap arm guard to start

[elburrofut1]

do you think im stuped?? thats fucking esay

[ilikethisand]

canadian eh?

[x1iD]

that son of a bitch couldent wipe his ass

[lordofkronos]

in your dad's ass

[nanohero17]

Okey, but hoe should i hold the arrows with my fingers?

[lordofkronos]

[EndlessRampage]

Hes 5 feet in front of the target and missed the bullseye by a good 1 1/2... Fail

[shooteristick3434]

[thebase100]
