Engineer, Photographer, Archer/Athlete and Tinkerer. I enjoy learning and building things... iterating on old ideas... coming up with new ways of solving problems... reviewing results and iterating... The design process has a lot in common with Archery's shot process...
Been spending as much time as possible at the archery range and with that, a lot of problems start to surface. Decided to document portions of my journey not for any one reason other than, for me to remember the journey.
Archery is a sport that has a lot of repetition. And often times is feels like we are starting over. But with that, I get to also rebuild my form/technique and, in a way, myself...
These aren't videos of everything figured out... these are videos of what is currently working for me and sharing that with others and, most importantly, a future version of myself... to come back and see where I was in this journey...
There is no need for the clamp to be rounded and to have more contact with the arrow (10:45), it is enough to stick the spin wing to the arrow only until the clamp separates, and then the spin wing must be pressed against the arrow with finger. If the clamp were rounded, then a clamp would be needed for each arrow that has a different diameter. Anyway, your review is excellent.
I’ve flown southwest with rifles in cases and it’s been extremely painless and easy. The staff has always been great about it. The website is thorough about what to do. That tsa combination lock you use is the same I use as well. They like that. Flying with my bow this year and looking for a good case now.
What a fantastic overview of the challenges of archery compounded by weather conditions! These tests of character under difficult physical and mental circumstances are why I shoot, and I get the sense that it may be the same for you. Thanks for coming to the event, we really appreciate our archers at CVA and we hope to see you on our range again soon!
@@bobbynishi i have been training archery for the last 7 month,and i have been seen that i have a slightly different move after first i entered the archery.
These limbs at rated as 44lbs, but for these arrows, I have them bottomed out at 50lbs on the fingers. I am amazed by how much weight can be added on the GMX3…
This style of bow is called “Olympic Recurve” because it’s the only one allowed in the Olympics. We aren’t forced to use anything other than safety gear.
What a beautiful expose of dealing with harsh temperatures during tournaments. It was enlightening to know how the heat can affect one’s body, mind, and bow. Thank you for creating this video.

This particular one is longer, the riser is 27 inches instead of 25 inches. And it is “different” overall. Not better or worse. I never shot Hoyt before and the main issue I’ve been having is getting used to the grip it comes with.
The chest guard (white protector on my left side) is for when I draw the bow and the string touches the left of my chest… depending on the shirt I am wearing, I need the string to touch and feel the same with every shot. In a windy day, a looser shirt can cause the bow string to catch and cause the arrow to fly funny… with a chest guard, shots are more consistent.
Hey bro you are really inspire me I watch your all the videos really useful and thanks for all I am 18 year old compound Archer and I lose my last 2 tournaments but I still believe that I will become the compund archery world champion what ever it will take I will I will become the world champion keep it up keep doing you are doing great job live from India state rajasthan ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing! And hang in there… archery is a journey… I don’t know where it will take me… nor where you might end up… but if you accept where you are and what to work on next… we can keep moving forward!
More spin - arrows correct faster but slow down. The correcting faster is more "forgiving" making for more consistent shots. In exchange, we lose speed, which can cost points when it's really windy. Too much spin can cause a "parachute" effect which makes arrow flight pattern unpredictable. Less spin - arrows fly faster, but correct less. Faster might be better in windy or rainy shoots, but can also be less forgiving.
@@MrVinhz for recurve, I have a Hoyt GM3 and Axia resin limbs. And yes, I have been trying to practice compound once a week... not this month because it's tournament month, but compound has taught me a lot... most specifically my grip and "aiming with the whole body" (barrel of the gun)...
Unfortunately this is not a popular sport. So manufacturers can’t rely on volume for their sales. And this is cutting edge metal machining and composite material development. As a result, these can get very pricey. There are less expensive options as well. This is the same make/model bow that our national team is going to the olympics with. I have less expensive bows that are really nice. I learned the sport through those. This bow I hope to have and use for many years to come… in other sports, you often have to keep buying new gear more often than for archery.
I have downloaded Joel Turner's online course. It is helping me cure my problems. It's the only one that makes sense when you listen. I retake the course all the time. You keep the course for life and I keep returning to it. However I think you might have hit on what started me down the shot anticipation path.. Many years ago I had a 65lb English longbow break at full draw while I was in my zone. It hit me across the the forehead and dam near knocked me out. I was after that taking up field shooting in the UK. I found going through small tree gaps very difficult and my arrows would always strike the trees and break. It was after this I discovered that I had been given the wrong advice regarding arrow spine. This was all 45 years ago. I now think this was the trigger. Determination and concentration through spoken thoughts is the way forward
Thank you for sharing… that sounds like a big physical trauma. And I am glad you have a path forward. Sometimes songs and picturing other arches (or videos of myself) shooting really help me keep the words I tell myself meaningful with every arrow. It wasn’t till later last year that I finally started to enjoy tournaments again to the point that I am looking forward to them. If there is a specific Joel Turner course you recommend, please share. I’d love to update and add more topics that I rarely hear people talk about… I am reading “Breath” for the next episode about breathing and presence… and I have to redo the arrow spine video (footage wasn’t good enough to use)…
@@bobbynishi PS there is no cure. Once you have target panic it will never go away. This is how to deal with it every single time you draw back your bow
Nope. I just need to disclose the content as “sporting equipment: archery gear” and most major airlines just tag it as oversized but I pay as a regular checked bag.
