We travel the world doing what I like and would love if you can share my experience.
I’m trying to get into indoor archery on a very limited budget, but managed to find an old copper John ant 2 sight with scope. It’s old but compared to my hunting sight it’s chalk and cheese!
Thanks for the videos! I read some of the remarks about the wind 🤦🏽 Never mind all of the trolls that come from the windiest place on earth according to them!
I like that last one. My peep is just very slightly over-rotating so I know adding or removing a twist would be too much. This fix seems simple plus it can be used any time the peep it not quite centered. Thanks !!
I'm 13 and i just bought a Mathews lift 29.5 and I've shot 30 arrows and already have peep problems prob from the string stretching cause its new thanks for the vid!!
Next test is one of those contraptions that the sideline rugby camermen use that levitates the heavy TV cameras out in front of them. ha ha You need to think like an F1 team and rock up to an event that way and just say 'hey show me in the rules where it says that I can't!". I've heard of target archers use the expression 'englishing' a shot and I think what they mean is the subconscious or innate ability of your body to apply minute corrections to a shot AS its going bad ie it does feel bad like what you were saying, but compensations that you don't even know are happening 'save' it. I guess off the stick half of your muscle groups were probably switched off and there was no follow through. Same off the tree, most of the inputs that activated muscles can have are sort of collapsed if that makes sense.
I think the "englishing" method is a dead give away for six o clock lock. They know they are going to fire low and as they shoot they try and lift the bow up. There is no way of shooting this way if you are shooting a surprised release. Our reaction time as humans are way to low. Thanks for the comment very interesting !
Whilst shooting downhill I rest, depending on the angle, my back stabilizer in my side/hip. (Not @ 50m though) This allows me to keep my pin rock steady shooting x’s. I can do this with my hunting bow but not with my target bow as the latter jumps too much forward.
Knowing you are an accomplished archer at longer distances like the 80 yards you shot in this video I wonder why you didn’t do like 50 or 60 yards where you could probably see better where the pin was floating at the shot break. Or was it that you felt 80 yards would be a better challenge to test stability etc between the bows. As a hunter & 3-d enthusiast I rarely practice beyond 60 yards because for me on my no magnification hunting scope it’s so difficult to know where the pin is/was at the break except when im shooting at like a 6” diameter spot on a paper plate. Enjoyed this test showing how very reliable a “hunting” bow can be in the right hands. 👍👍
I wanted to try and get a distance where the one would be a clear winner. The thought is that a hunting bow would fall short on a certain distance. But was not the case. We hunt a little further here too.
@@wyndy1879 I have videos on my social Media of me shooting league and shooting at 80yds I’m 25mph wind. You have to suck it up and shoot in it if you live in the Midwest.
That was very interesting as you said. I always wondered what a steady rest would do for archery. I’m not sure I could do it. Seems like it would feel very strange to reduce your pin float that much.
Yup. Agree with everything you said. These are basically the only ways to adjust a peep. I will also add/remove a half or full twist on my string from the bottom cam when first setting the peep up... its usually the first thing I do if its not sitting well enough... then once its very close I use the D loop and serving to fine tune it. I have used the string splitter to tune peeps before and they do work okay... but now I just tie around my peep with a good knot... then put a short section of serving above and below at the Y in the string and will mess with those if need be. When shooting in vastly different weather and temps it helps a lot. In the winter when I am only shooting indoors, I will often clip the serving off since temperatures and conditions are super consistent, and then I usually tie them back in for summer. On super hot days with blazing sunlight, its not uncommon for peeps to twist slightly, and with the new style target peeps like the podium, pxs, and hamskea, they have to be aligned perfectly. Its definitely helpful to be able to slightly maneuver your peep in the field when shooting outside.
How would a person fix a peep that turns while drawing the bow? Currently it is a guess how far to have the peep turned to the side to start with so the peep will turn to the proper position at full draw.
If you have a press you will need to press the bow and twist the string ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m_kIo-JI5L4.htmlsi=zikGybHc36Pe4g-x
Im sitting with a bit of an issue. My dl is to long for the bow. If i increase d-loop length the peep moves away from my eye and i sit with in-between size. Bow can only go up to 30-30.5" my bow arm is still significantly bent at full draw and i am not leaning back. If i straiten my bow arm my draw hand moves forward to a point where i have no consistent 3 point anchor point at all. So i would probably need to buy another bow or make it work with a long d-loop and 1/4" peep
Wow! - That is beautiful country! I prefer a deflex riser for the forgiveness. Both, my hunting bow (35”) and target bow (38”) are deflex and better bows than I can shoot! But I prefer the feel of the hunting bow due to the string angle seems to give me the most comfortable anchor 🤷🏽♂️
I’m continually fascinated by the obsession of using high draw weight bows. Unless you are taking huge animals like in Africa, maybe not even then?, there’s physically no reason to draw 75-80#’s. IMO. I’ve put 455 grain fixed blade arrows at 59#’s completely thru several mature American elk. These are very thick skinned animals especially in the kill zone area. 20+ years ago when I was 50+ years old I shot a 70-72# bow. The arrows available then were IMO junk compared to the market now. Same for great designs on broadheads. Just saying!👍👍
