Archery ( Woods Walk) Hummingbird Hybrid Longbow

Walking and shooting with my favorite bow, my Hummingbird Hybrid Longbow, the Kingfisher model.
I shoot 2117 Easton Aluminum arrows with left wing feathers. I buy the shafts, points, inserts, feathers, etc. from 3Rivers Archery and build the arrows myself.

Not sure if it is the same in America as it is in Australia, but when i saw your hand hold on the string i believe you were holding your bow a bit wrong. You had all 3 fingers below, in Australia and all my competitions we hold with 1 finger above the arrow and 2 below.

@manheap12 , There IS no "wrong"; some people prefer to shoot split fingers and some prefer to shoot three-fingers under. Two different styles.

do you have to use aroows with feathers on them or can you use modern arrows with the solid rubber fletchings

[hickok45]

@TJ41238, You can use the modern plastic flights, but they wear on your bow and shelf a bit more and can affect the flight of the arrow, I guess. Unlike with a compound bow, generally, the feathers run right against the bow. Not that big a deal, though, unless you're competing in the Nationals probably.

@TJ41238 You can use plastic fletching,but try to shoot with cock vane in it makes a difference.

@manheap12 In the USA we have a variety of ways to shoot other than the split finger.

Three fingers under where I live is called the Apache method. There is also the two finger method index and middle and the thumb and forefinger. Some people use a thumb ring and I'm not aware if that was used by the Native Americans here. Split finger and three finger are well known here.

I love walking archery courses like what you have shown in your video today.

I'm very interested in your forearm guard. What brand is it?

[HGRTVONE]

"redneck golf," next time im asked my favorite sport or hobby, that'll be my answer!!!

I'm so jealous of all you americans with HUGE pieces of land and expansive woods and stuff, and of course all of your gun priveleges compared to the wacky no-violence society we have in Britain. Maybe when I retire... idk :D
