5 Secret Tips on how to get better at Archery!

Another key tip is ; dont look at the entire animal, always pick a spot ie a scar or patch of mud or a particular point, focus only on that point, this will stop alot of the nervous tension by having a focal point.

I love how well you edit your videos. There is no wasted time. Most do not edit properly.

Lilly is so very good at so many things that are useful but, trust me, Lilly is "scary good" with her bow and arrows. This is her niche, her real talent. So anything she has to say here is bound to be valuable. Thank you Lilly!!!

Good to see you in the woods again. Without a light color, you will lose lots of arrows, even if you know exactly where you shot them. It's archery deer season here in North Carolina USA. The problem is that the deer read the regulations and know it is hunting season, LOL. They are very destructive to crops. And, they only come out at night during moonlit nights.

It's great to see you again, Lilly! Excellent, concise master class. The magic is in the fundamentals, used consistently.

I recently joined an archery club at my college and surprised to find out im the only left handed shooter 😂 i definitely want to get better.

You can almost double your distance by face walking. For example if you put your middle finger to the corner of your mouth as a normal anchor..then when you have a further shot that is beyond your range.. you can get more distance by putting your index finger to the corner of your mouth. Everyone has a different set up so you have to see what your point on distance is with normal anchor and then see what your point on is with the lower anchor. 🤘

I bought a bow two years ago, and this is one of the first channels I found that covers the topic. This channel & two others are my top three favorites!

Lilly, I have only been around for less than a year, love all that i have seen. You are an expert in bowman ship. Thanks from those who are learning. (I just pull the trigger)

Hey Lilly, you are looking healthier than ever! Thank you for being you and sharing your experiences and news!

Been waiting for a new video. Glad to see your still ok and posting. Keep the good videos coming.

Nice video! Love traditional archery! Always enjoy your videos 👍🙂

Another great video, thanks for the time you put into bringing great content to your viewers

Alle Achtung und das war super interessant liebe Lilly, herzlichen Dank! Beste Grüße Sepp

I think the bow was the single greatest invention in history. Thanks for another great video Lilly!

Very useful tips, can't wait to put them into practice. Thanks alot!

I'm a big fan of what you do Lilly! Keep up the great work!

Great shooting and tips. Thank you!

My hubby & sons started archery a year ago & are loving it. I'll forward this video link to them! 🥰 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

Dear Lilly , 1st --> try to hold the bow in position until the arrow hits the target // this will train your muscle tension & muscle memory and helps to keep your T-shape more stable) - this will lead to a more consistent grouping 2nd --> check your anchor / release - you`ll always pull away your hand when releasing the string. Just loosen your finger tips to release (hand remains at the cheek) - that will also lead to a much more stable shot and arrow grouping results as well. just mentioning ;)

Very much like this video!! Keep up the good work and thanks for explaining things.

Excellent demonstration! Thanks Lily 🤗❤️

Omg I love your videos! Thank you very much for all the tips you give us!

Great video with great knowledge. Thank you for explaining recurve bows.

Great shooting! You are absolutely right it takes constant practice! Thank you for sharing!

I love you Lilly (in a friendship way), you're one of the coolest survivalist/preppers. I've been shooting archery since I was a little kid and my dad's friend had built me a very small compound bow. Later in life I started making PVC bows for children and learned a lot from Nicholas Tomihama (The Backyard Bowyer), he is also an expert on slings, para-cord projects, and PVC flutes. I've also been watching the Canadian Prepper site every day for your "Lilly Messer" but so far no updates yet. I suspect once Nate releases them, they will be sold out within hours. You have a really good point about shooting at various elevations (higher and lower), when you're hunting you need to be prepared for all sorts of odd conditions. I've watched my dad bow hunt for deer and it's not an easy thing. It's not uncommon to shake a little bit while you're hunting because of the adrenaline rushing through your body when there's a real animal you're shooting at..

I really enjoy your archery videos. Thank you for sharing.

Great tips making perfect sense Lilly. Thanks! Im interested in beggining archery so its very helpfull. Love your videos and i bought your Apo 1. Keep it coming girl ! ❤

Thank you so much ! I really appreciate the lesson .

Thank you for your tips. Every bit helps. I have mainly been a compound bow shooter and am transitioning to a longbow. Eventually I want to be able to hunt with it. Some of the things I have learned is 1. Double your practice distance to the actual distance you want to take an animal. 20yds is my max so will practice at 40yds. 2. Aim where you want the arrow to exit and not the spot you want to hit. When in a tree stand or elevated position aim low. I would put my 20yd pin right at the bottom of the chest this cover the angle and the deer ducking. I live in the Southeast corner of Colorado on the plains. Thank you again. You have a lot of good info. You keep it simple and explain yourself very well.

Great adventure, I recently started documenting my own adventures, I love this direction. Good luck on your adventures. Greetings from a Belarusian tourist!

Great video..... really good tips. You have obviously put in your practice time to get good.... Bravo....!

Your anchor and release are very consistent I have been shooting bows for over 50yrs and I still have to work on it. Great video thanks, from Tennessee.

Thanks for the awesome content Lilly 😊

Great video! I just got back into archery and I'm really feeling it in my muscles!

Hi Lilly!! ❤️ Patara sent me here!! I just bought a 40 lb Tidewe bow and this is my first time doing archery with a real bow instead of a plastic one like when I was a kid. 🤣🤣 I'm looking forward to learning everything I can from you!! Thank you for your awesome videos!!! 🙏❤️💪

Great video she covers it all especially starting close to target with comfortable poundage for beginners.

Thanks for sharing your video! There's a never-ending curve of learning. It is nice to have you as a teacher. 🙏👍✌️🇬🇧

I appreciate all your videos and effort. These archery ones are very good.

Thank you Lilly for this video. I want to get back into archery because of you. You are a great motivator!

Lilly, you are nothing short of awesome. I really enjoy all your videos, especially now with regards to the crazy leaders in their respective countries. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you loved it l love how you explain so much knowledge in this video.

Loved the video , reminds me of the old days when I watched your bushcraft videos. My samick sage just arrived today and I am really looking forward to starting to learn another skill. Keep it up

G'day from Oz! I haven't done archery in many, many years. Your videos are an inspiration. I am currently looking for an archery store nearby that sells the Samick Sage and other items necessary for a hunting setup. Keep the videos coming Lilly and stay safe.

I'm learning archery skills from you, Lily. I haven't used a bow since a child. I'm grateful. ✌️😎👍✝️🙏🏹

Absolutely love your videos ❤

I really enjoyed your video, which shows the reality of archery. I am a practitioner and I say that the vast majority of videos about this practice on the internet are unrealistic, as they show distances of 100 meters or more with little elevation of the arch. Your video is real and motivating! Congratulations !

I want to Wish you and your Family the best for this up coming winter, here it's going to be a rough cold and wet one for us here

Archery seams to be also a wonderful zen tonic for troubled times. Thank you.

Hi Lilly, I think even Robin Hood can learn a few things from you, thanks for another great video. Keep on shooting with the bow and the camera. 🏹

Enjoyed your vid, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tips! Been watching for a long time

@Survival Lilly Hi Lilly, I've only recently begun watching your videos in the past month and I really like the variety of your content. Also like seeing your dogs you put in some of your videos :) I've been toying with the possibility of getting a bow for some time now, but I feel I need to do more research on type, quality, etc. However, seeing this video of yours has reignited my interest in it once more. Over here in Ontario Canada we also have lots of green space to target practice in. BTW I've already "Liked" "subbed" & smashed the "Notify All" buttons Keep up the great work and I'm glad your videos popped into my feed ! 🙂

I recently got a Bear Kodiak which is 45 pounds at 28 inches. I shoot Port Orford cedar arrows because that's what I started out with when I was young. Your videos have inspired me to shoot traditional again, and I hope to harvest a deer with my recurve this fall. Your skill with your bow makes archery look like fun again. Nice bow you are carrying, I like the colors in the riser.

I'm so happy to see your archery progress reach this point!

Hi Lilly, I love your show kid. You gave some great tips for Archery. I hope you are doing great.

Very good! Thank you for sharing with us. :)

I have shot bow long ago, but you are going to be my new teacher , thanks for the great videos

Good archery tips. Thanks Lilly.

Love your archery videos!

Great video Lilly!

Great video, Lilly. The Jormungandr wrist brace ❤️🙂

Cheers Lilly, loved it 👍

Excelent !!! Muy inspirador y excelente ejemplo de Tiro Natural sin accesorios !!! Espectacular !!!

Brilliant tuition, thanks!

Thank you Lilly love your videos, shot bow when I was 12 on the farm me and my partner have just started with compound bows that we love to shoot together, I’m waiting for my Fred Bear Takedown that should be here soon. Thank you from us here in Australia.

you are amazing Lily, thank you for teaching us so much

I came across your channel and enjoyed the tips. New to archery or more precisely I'm thinking of picking it up. Albeit, not for hunting. I subscribed.

You're so cool, Lilly. Ty for your outstanding videos!

Hi again, Lily. I have really enjoyed watching you improve your archery skills and knowledge over the past few years. And because you have so openly shared both your struggles and your progress with us, my own shooting has improved. Thank you for that. What I'm wondering is now that your accuracy and consistency have grown so good-from all distances and angles-are you and your husband planning a trip to a country where you can actually bow-hunt for game (like perhaps deer)? In my opinion, at least, you are more than well prepared to test your shooting in actual hunting situations. In any event, keep up the great work. Chris (Maine, USA)

great vid. enjoyed it. thank you

Love your vids Lilly!

Great post , l have a hard time getting my kids to listen to me... when you say the same things l have said , the kids listen more. Thank you. Praying that things calm down in the world.

I remember watching a video of you playing around with a survival bow. Your skill has come a long way.

I've been watching your videos. I'm hoping to get a bow and learn to hunt. Thank you!

Danke Lilly fuer diesen guten tips. 👍😁

Much respect for your bow skills. I got a Rambo bow off ebay. Same one you reviewed. FL, USA

I am 12 and want to buy a recurve bow

IVE BEEN DOING ARCHERY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. I REALLY APPRTECIATE YOUR INPUT. IT HAS HELPED ME A LOT. PROST!!!

Thank you for the tips!

I am an avid recurve bow archer. I custom make all my arrows and have designed my bow using different parts to make it quieter that a whisper. Lilly, if you would like, i can show you the silencers that have designed and possibly send you a pair. They fit most recurve bows. Also your videos on shooting make me want to go shoot and get even better. I noticed that you used a leatger quiver but do you still have the one you built from PCC pipe? Love the video please keep them coming!!!!!

I was watching Doug on Doug and Stacy and he mentioned you letting us listen to you on his phone. So here I am liked and subscribed 😊

Very good shooting! And good advice. 👍

Really good advice regardless of shooting archery or firearms. When hunting a good clean kill is fair to the animal, and then proper field dressing, cut and preparation yields a wonderful product. Thank you so much for your videos!

Great stuff, Thanks

Cool. Thanks for the tips.

makes me get excited about archery. I'll think about it.

My boyfriend and i always watching your videos. I hope we can watch more archery videos! 😊

Good video, you make it look easy, thanks

Wow you were absolutely amazing, it makes me want to go out right now and buy a bow! 👍

Great tips. I unknowingly followed these principles when I first bought my horse recurve for my first bow. I bought a 65 lbs bow right out the gate but I'm a pretty strong guy and was able to easily get a hang of it. I can accurately hit my target out to an easy 35 yards after only a few weeks of shooting.

Great tips Lilly 👍

I think my biggest problem with my lack of advancement with my recurve is that I don't use it much these days. It hangs on my wall and collects dusk. I need to start there and take it out more.

I like to use fluorescent orange fletching on some arrows. I also use helical combined with straight fletching for extra wind drag. When shooting up into trees they wont go as far because of the extra wind drag. With the orange they are easy to find when they go so far. They will go about 100 yards. Regular fletched arrows usually go about 150 yards when you shoot them on a 45 degree angle. Some types of "flu flu" fletching will drag the arrow down more with a shorter range than 100 yards. They are typically just as accurate. I don't use them for hunting usually unless it is squirrel hunting. You can see the orange in flight very well so you can see if your off on aerial targets. I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

Hey Lilly, I got a couple questions? 1. Target practice routine everyday, or once a week? 2. Shooting while squatting down, does that change your aiming point? 3. That Green sheet hanging behind the Antilope, what's that material? Great shooting, Lilly!

You really are deadly with that bow, good job, cool video thanks.

I loved this videos, a learn a lot.

Great advice, start to finish.

Some great tips...thanks
