I started in archery back in January, because I found your videos, so far I’ve won 3 3D tournaments as an amateur, following all your tips and tricks. Thanks for all the videos I just purchased my UV Hinge release and love it so far Greetings from Monterrey Mexico
When I was a few months into archery I used to shoot 250-350 arrows and be at the club from 9am till 2pm. It was the only day I could shoot and I wanted to get in the reps. It was a light poundage and the bows physical weight was lighter so I could shoot all day. The main thing was focus that started to drift.
You're killing me Chris this is freaking hilarious you're sweating like you've been working out at a gym, you are awesome watch all the things you do on RU-vid all the time. Keep on bringing these great episodes on your RU-vid channel.
That pinch and radiating pain is coming from compression to your brachial plexus. Most likely due to muscles surrounding your scapula and neck tightening from overuse. Anyone that has that even with only a small number of shots can really benefit from lower trap, rhomboid and RTC strengthening to improve endurance and position when shooting. Crazy amount of arrows man, good shooting.
Shot a compound bow the other day at local how shop for first time ever. Shot 100 arrows at 60 lbs and next day my neck was so tight and felt something was pinched.
This is pretty impressive man! It's hard to imagine shooting that many arrows in a day! I usually try to shoot at least 30-50 a day but anything over 100 seems like a lot to me. You got me inspired to do more lol. Great video as always!
Great video Chris, i love watching you shoot, excellent consistency and form, I wish i was half as accurate as you at those distances. When i started archery about 15 years ago, I would shoot 2 or 3 times a week and get about 200-250 arrows in, per session, but life and family gets in the way so i haven't shot much for the last 10 years, just getting back into it and I picked up a frozen shoulder about 12 months ago, due to an injury at work, now i cant lift my arm horizontally holding a cup of tea, let alone a bow, so it looks like I will be out of action for at least another 6 - 12 months ! I just shoot through guys like you, thank you.
Chris, Well done. 400 is a huge number. I know this is an old video, but keep in mind that 1000 arrows at 100 per hour is 10 hours of shooting and that is if you can average 100 per hour which is going to BEE (see what i did there) a huge grind and non stop. The best I have done is 150 but that was just enjoying the day. Keep up the good work, your videos are inspiring.
Awesome video Chris! During indoor season, I was able to dedicate more time to shooting and was averaging 250-350 arrows in a day. I had 3 days in a row where I shot 450 arrows. Most I have ever shot at once. Took me 3 days to recover 😂 In a good week, im shooting around 2,000 arrows. Now I'm considering taking a day and trying to see how close I can get to 1,000. Don't think I'll get it, but certainly looks fun!
My man this is your best video yet! Definitely need to see you do the 1000, plan it properly set the targets and maybe hire someone as a arrow puller for the day 😂😂😂 Turn it into an event !
Max I put out was about 600ish. With a combination of barebow and trad. Was a lot of blank bale and form work with a low poundage bow though, so a lot easier to do. of that, I got 2x 720s in. The blank bale definitely made the arrow count inflate significantly though
Made the switch from recurve to compound enjoying a fresh face learning so thanks for all you do I know you make a living with this but it legitimately helps a lot of people definitely gonna meet you one day
Been binge watching your videos. Just ordered my first bow last friday. Went with the Elite Ethos, UV Slider, UV Button, BeeStinger stabilizer, QAD rest, quiver, case, 12arrows with practice tips and 6 broadheads. Might be forgetting some things. Should get a call this week to dial it in for me, and fire it and what not. Excited and nervous. Lol
That's a lot of arrows. Props for keeping your shot process true. For me, the most I've shot is 200 in a day. I do that quite regularly leading up to hunting season. Oh BTW I shot Redding last weekend in the rain and the new Bee Real/UV grip on my TRX 34 is legit!
Dam... 400 thats an insane amount of shooting i dont think i could even half that after training 😂 super cool to see how the body gradually wears down though and very cool experiment to watch.
Whew! That wore my down just watching. But I’m old. Great job though. Good on you for stepping it back once you started feeling the shoulder pinch. Glad you didn’t force the count. Rest up you deserve it.
Shooting a high volume arrows in a day I find taking even a couple minute break makes a big difference in the fatigue that sets in. Once I'm fatigued I drop down to 3-4 shot groups and hang my bow when I gather the arrows and this really helps with my accuracy. I started with archery last September and its been addict levels of obsession. As I have evolved as an archer I have made a lot of changes; to my grip, anchor point, draw length, release length, switched to different releases, played with 8 different kinds of arrows and all have required I paper tune the bow again and I'm shooting 4 different bows right now. So every time I make a change it requires a high volume of arrows to get 4 bows tuned, I have easily shot over 100 arrows in a day doing all my tinkering. I was actually looking for a clicker counter to keep track of how many arrows I actually shoot as I neglect the note pad I try to tally the shots with. My accuracy suffers more from fatigue holding up the bow vs the arm I draw with. although my drawing shoulder is always stiff as I shoot daily. A tricked out bow gets to 7# pretty quick and I notice holding up this bow after a higher volume of shooting so its nice to drop back to a 5# bow after fatigue sets in.
🤘I can't wait to see the 1000 flèch and see you in what state you will end up. 😉The most I did was 800 in the day and I ended up with elbow tendinitis and shoulder blade pain. I shoot v3x 29 74 lbs. And continue I follow you for 10 years and find great this passion 👊
Great attempt Chris! I thought 4500 shots in 13 months was pretty good with my v3 but it seems that professional archers shoot a lot more than I thought. Picked up a v3x 9 months ago, love it too. (The way I got 4500 was with a garmin xero sight, tracks shots)
You have already given me some ideas, by having a larger bunch of arrows, yuri shoots like 100 arrows in the theory of shooting practice, I've already thought about setting up a wall block target like what Easton archery would sell, yeah, poundage, layoff, larger bunch of arrows as opposed to a smaller bunch, larger bunches of arrows means less trips
Love the content. Have you thought about a video on getting into the sport for young archers? I have a 4 yr old who seems interested, but not sure what approach is best to foster and encourage this.
Everytime I get a new bow I shoot 500 arrows out of it before I setup a sight tape or do anything, just do 6 arrow ends at 25 to 30 yards over and over again, blast some music, and enjoy shooting a new bow! Idk if it makes a difference with breaking strings in, etc but it's an excuse to shoot a bunch...
Awesome upload! I’m feeling inspired to shoot more. The most I have ever done is probably around 125-150. I remember being fairly sore. My groups didn’t hold up like yours.
Crazy Chris is my new name for you. Can’t imagine a 1000 shots. I remember Dave Cousins saying he shot up to 750 in a day several years back when he was prepping for those “ pro archery series “ events in the UK and Europe. They were based on World Archery Outdoor Field courses I believe. Was creating his own numbers sight tapes for all those angle shots.
Might manage it with the compound, not with barebow or English Longbow (could probably work up to barebow if I got very motivated, there aren't enough arrows in the world for the longbow) One of the many reasons I don't use a lens is that I don't notice the wobbles as much
Ever have your release slip out of your hand? Happened to me yesterday when I was tired so now I’ll have a few days off while I wait for my busted cam and frayed string to get replaced. I definitely didn’t shoot 1000 in a day but I had been shooting on and off all day. I’m glad I didn’t get hurt, just the bow but figured I’d see if someone as good as you had ever had that happen.
Hey bro. I have had the same thing with the inch in my scapula, its from raising the elbow a touch to high and its an impingement of he median nerve with the scapula which is the nerve that runs down your whole arm, especially with that volume in that amount of time. You're a far better archer then I and have shot plenty more arrows but thought id let you in on what it mostly likely is from my experience,
My Grandpa has me do pushups before I shoot a set for every set. Also, working out before I'm going to shoot. I really don't know why I do it cause I don't hunt, I don't compete, I just shoot in my backyard for fun. You have me wanting to get further back, I think I can shoot out to 80 or 90. Most I've shot is around 360 and I started at 5am.
Very nice. If you are an experienced archer it's not so difficult to shoot 100 arrows in a row - like for example a 900 round plus 2 rounds of practice. In a normal practice I can shoot a 900 round during 2½-3 hours incl. breaks, shooting 3 or 6 arrows pr. round. There is no way I could make it to 1000 arrows in a day. I'd guess the maximum I have shot is somewhere between 100 and 150. But the theory is good - if you normally attend comps. where you shoot 6 arrow rounds, the training could be with 8 arrow rounds. Because if you can shoot 8 arrows you can also shoot 6. Or if a normal comp is appr. 100 arrows, train some days with perhaps 120 arrows.
Hello mr chris bee sir, I've been watching a lot of stuff on RU-vid for the past couple of years, I came across the video of,, 100 arrows succession with his video name uguri, and I have been watching and watching and watching yours ,so I'm saying I'm glad you decided to go ahead with your idea of your approach of doing your own particular idea of the so-called 1000 arrows a day, or as many as possible, I'd like to connect up with you if ever possible, and discuss notes, I did my math, which wasn't much, I ÷ down a 100 arrows and came up with actually 35 arrows for which was actually Close enough, cause I'm talking about actually trying to keep the shooting practice motivation going, cause by shooting 35 arrows at a given round, you can take a few minutes of break time, and go again, so my added idea would be to cross train of recurve and compound bow left/right from low poundage of bow weight back up to the 65/70 lbs ,my goal is to firm up the holding bow arm, to rebuild muscle memory and the mental sighting and aiming, most of my practice would be with a given sight system, I live up here in Indiana, I've been familiar with archery for 30 years, so I do understand the theory of lengthy hrs long practice, I just don't have a RU-vid channel yet, I'd like to connect with you through email if you feel ok with that or phone number if ever, my door is open
Well, I have been comparing notes about shooting practices and methods, of lengthy archery shooting working out, on another video a guy referred to as uguri is doing a 100 arrows succession right handed with recurve, and 4 loaded quivers, and I'm also crossing his video with chris bee's video, of theoretical 1000 arrows in a day. Well I'm thinking the approach is still highly favorable, but I'm still planning for balancing my crossfit cross training recurve and compound bow with different bows at different weights and let-offs are a bit different, and yes,I will have about 35 arrows per different bow ,cause I'm thinking of often do I want to go to the target and recover arrows and keep shooting, yes,my approach will take a fair bit of money, but this is all depending on how important is your desire your activity going, and money part is to keep it as cheap as possible, your just going to put yourself through some really good endurance training, on both sides of shoulder's, if your up to it,
A question I've always wondered is, how long do you think you should go before getting new arrows? After using them for a season for hunting and target shooting are they something to be replaced each season or every two years? Just curious to get some insight on it. Thanks!
Take off the off the scope on the achieve, there’s 1 or 2 very small set screws on the bottom thing you take your scope off of. Tighten them until the wiggle is gone. You’re welcome!!!!
I’ve shot 200 in a day. Could feel it for sure. Not sure if quantity will prevail over quality. Muscle memory will get worked for sure but maybe in a bad way. I shot on the USMC shooting team in quantico for 2 years. We would have days like this training to see how much we could accurately shoot until we failed to hit center. I’d like to see a video of how many shots say at 50 yards you could shoot without missing the oranges dots. After this video I did this…. Made it to 58 shots on a 4” dot
gonna do a follow up video the next day to see if you could lift your arms? :D I think the max ive ever shot in 1 day is 120, I couldnt imagine more than 3x that!
Most I've shot in a day is about 300 arrows no less than 250 arrows. That's during indoor season. Now that 3D season is here I shoot about 100 to 150 arrows a day. I wish I could shoot more but you know work and life gets in the way of fun time (Shooting your bow)
Hello I am getting back into bow hunting and I'm finally getting my dream bow on all of my other bows I have used a whisker biscuit and a cheap drop away rest what would you recommend to upgrade and change it up a bit?
Cool! One archery coach in Russia forced to shoot 1000 shots a day, so there some loaded 2 arrows at once to perform.I'm tired of watching it sitting on the couch, I imagine how it is if you shoot.
I wonder shooting the bow thousand times would the bow come out of timing and the bow string and cable stretch and does the weight of the bow does it changes like too know
Wish I could meet you. You’re the same age as me and obsessed with archery and finally picked up the phase 4 since I’ve been holding bad on a new bow but I’m not sure what else they can do? I’m sure you can come up with something but I’ve been watching your videos for maybe 3 years between my work schedule and I wish I had the knowledge you do on archery
480 minutes in 8 hours. 2.1 arrows per minute =1008 arrows in 8 hours. I had to do the math, that's brutal, just imagining 2 arrows a minute, for 4 hours straight. Lunch break, then 4 hours again. That's rough lol
Doesn't shooting a thumb release like that start to hurt your pointer finger? I just started shooting compound this year I'm shooting a exit release I've noticed shooting all day starts to hurt pointer finger. I was shooting at daylight outfitter on their simulator and I had to hold my bow through several videos waiting for a clean shot and I noticed my finger starting to hurt holding my bow back. Is that a me thing or a release thing?
i usually shoot about 120 arrows in a sitting. i notice my palm and fingers start to get numb after holding the bow in place that many times. but i keep training and keep shooting arrows.
I understand exactly what your getting at, that kind of strategy is gonna take some crazy conditioning and pacing and yes, your time consuming will become a matter endurance, you might find it handy if you look up a video by yuri, he calls, 100 arrows succession, it's just an idea,
i shoot between 70-100 arrows every day without fail 2 weeks straight out of every month @ 71lb. never noticed any fatigue as such and generally produce my best groups at the 40 shot mark.
Yeah, there's a lot opinions about how excessive archery shooters should consider getting, between what you learn about yourself from practice to practice, on daily-weekly practice, and what is your lifestyle allowing you to get done, I still prefer the idea of cross training on left/right compound/recurve at different weights and how fast can you push your process in your shooting, mind and body physical and mental conditioning
I have an idea for your possible muscle soreness, I have heard of using amino acids protein muscle powders for your muscle soreness, I heard they help in your muscles recover in building up the muscles process it's supposed to the muscle endurance,
Meanwhile most guys shooting at 30 yards can't group them as tight as Chis does at 60. I miss shooting tight groups. I've Robin hooded 2 times and I really don't even shoot that often and it was also with a hunting bow. I think if I shot often and had a target bow I would be pretty competitive. I wish I could afford to get into competitive shooting
I know it’s a diff type of bow and just shooting over 18 yards. My bow a take down recurve 38lb at 28”, shooting groups of 10 arrows, at a 17” diameter target my draw length 29.5”. In one hour I will shoot 320 to 330 arrows without suffering from fatigue. I’m not some young guy I’m in my 70s. I do use elastic tubes for exercise. At 1 hour boredom sets in a coffee break of 30 mins then another hour for another 300 plus arrows erm at this point my other half will a interrupt with a job she needs doing. Ahh such is life.
