AIMING MADE EASY PRIMITIVE ENGLISH LONGBOW

You beat me to say that

Well Santa is Odin so it's not surprising

@The serpent must die "I forget what happened to Vili and Ve." Well they had sex with Odin's wife. And they will eventually be eaten by Fenrir.

my first split second thought was that i was dealing with a mushroom

WHAT EVER FEELS GOOD BUT NONE OF THOSE THINGS HIT THE TARGET THEY ARE JUST DIFFERENT WAYS OF DOING THE SAME THING WHICH IS REALLY GET THE UPPER BODY IN POSITION, BUT THE HARD PUSH ON THE CENTER LINE, THE PULL TO THE PUPIL OF THE EYE WITH A RELAXED ARM WHICH MEANS NO TORQUING IS COMMON TO ALL FORMS.

As I was reducing the belly on my long bow, I ran into I am not sure if it is a healed over knot or a fire scar. still working it on the tiller stick. have it to 70 lbs at 25 in. so far. my draw is 30 in. the defect in top limb seems to be holding. here is a little vid of it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kcLw3S5Duvs.html

@@garychynne1377 You must be psychic because I'm watching your channel videos right this minute. May I ask what part of the country you are calling home. I'm in San Francisco. A retired Veteran on a VA pension. Love my hospital so I'm unwilling to move to another location. I have lived in many regions throughout the USA but can't find a better medical facility then my Ft. Miley VA med center. Keep in touch. I truly enjoy your tutelage. Sam

HI TIM. THANK YEW. I'M GLAD YOUR FINDING THESE MOVIES HELPFUL. I'VE NOTICED MANY GREAT ARCHERS DON'T REALLY TELL PEOPLE DETAIL IN THEIR BOOKS ETC. HOWARD HILLS BOOK FOR INSTANCE TELLS ME NOTHING EXCEPT THE CONCEPT OF PERIPHERY VISION.THEY ARE EITHER NOT ARTICULATE OR PERHAPS RELUCTANT TO TELL THERE SECRETS SO THEY CAN STAY THE BEST. THEY MAY NOT TELL SECRETS AS THEY SEE OTHERS AS COMPETITION. THANK U AGAIN. TAKE CARE GARE

high i mean hold your bow arm all the way. don't deliberately bend your elbow. also draw a imaginary line through the center of the target and keep your arrow tip on that line or center. thank you gare

Now I got it! Thank you again, Gare!

THANK YEW GARE

HI GAV. GOOD TO HEAR FROM U. IT IS REASSURING TO KNOW THE MOVIES ARE HELPING. I'M WORKIN ON A COUPLE IDEAS SUCH AS AN ANCIENT TECHNIQUE CALLED KHATRA. STAY TUNED MORE FUN TO COME. THANK YEW GARE

HI RLEE. YES L TO R IS ONE THING AND THE UP AND DOWN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. ONE THING IS SET THE GAP FIRST. PUSH FORWARD WITH THE LEFT AS FAR AS YOU CAN FIRST BEFORE THE DRAW AND MAKE SURE THE TIP IS ON THE GAP BEFORE THE DRAW. KEEP THE TIP THERE AND RAISE THE TAIL A BIT HIGH, ALMOST TO EYE LEVEL AND DRAW. GIVE THAT A TRY IT MAY HELP. HAVE FUN GARE

HIGH EMAN. THANK YEW. GOOD SHOOTING GARE

YOUR WELCOME ANDRE

MY FRIEND DRAW TO ANCHOR THE RELAX YOUR FINGERS UNTIL THERE IS NO TENSION IN THEM. THAT IS WHERE SHE'LL FLY. USUALLY THE ARROW IS OFF A BIT. NOW PUT THE EYE BEHIND THE ARROW. PERSONALLY 9 OUT OF 10 MY TIP IS A LITTLE TO THE LEFT SO I ROLL MY BOW WRIST UNTIL THE ARROW ALIGNS. FROM BACK TO FRONT. AIM BACK TO FRONT. USUALLY THE BOW WILL BE ABOUT 45 DEGREES AT THIS TIME. PRESS FORWARD SO THE STRING IS PULLED FROM THE FINGERS. HOPE THIS HELPS. GOOD SHOOTING. GARE

THANK U MY FRIEND

@@garychynne1377 Thank you very much.. I don't understand why after years of Longbows vids and now making my own D shape Laminate Longbows, that I have never come across your good self before !

YUP

HIGH ROBERT . NO I BOUGHT THIS BOW. THANK YOU GARE

THANK YEW MY FRIEND. HAVE FUN GARE

HIGH FFYNN. IF YOUR FARTHER HOLD HIGHER. BECAUSE YOUR STANCE CHANGES DOES NOT MEAN YOUR DRAW CHANGES. DRAW TO EAR, JAW, OR CHIN ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND MEANS YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE. WORDS WILL NOT MAKE YOU A GOOD SHOT BUT EXPERIENCE WILL SO GO PRACTICE AND SEE WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. THERE ARE MANY MOVIES AND TARGET RECOGNITION, AND GAP COMPROMISE HAVE ALL BEEN COVERED SO WATCH THE MOVIES. IT MUST BE OBVIOUS, A HEAVY ARROW DOES NOT GO AS FAR AS A LIGHT ARROW. A HEAVY BOW WILL SHOOT HARDER THAN A LIGHT BOW. IF THROWING A ROCK FAR YOU THROW HIGHER. HAVE FUN GARE

THANK YEW

THANK YEW MY FRIEND. HAVE FUN GARE

HIGH TED. SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT SELECTION OF WOODS YOU'VE GOT THERE. HAVE FUN GARE

@@garychynne1377 Thanks man. It was hard to stay cool when my neighbor told me how much black walnut he had. He said it was from a house he built in 1970 and his wife didnt like it (it was too dark) Pfft!! He calmly told me that some of it was under 6 and 4' but that he has 1100 linear feet of 1×6, with some 2×4s mixed in with it. All neatly stacked and climate controlled. After he promised to let me pick thru it for the best bow pieces I told him that he needed to put it on craigslist or somethin because 50 yr old, straight hardwoods are very exoensive. He's also gonna give me a piece of 60+ yr old ash from the center of a huge tree that he's had since he was a boy, so im gonna hone my skills on walnut, cherry, hickory, locust, osage and maybe even some bamboo and then make some ash bows. Im also making my own arrows out of piss elem, hickory and bkack locust sapplings. They're ok, straighter than some pool cues I've used. Ur really helpin with the aiming and shooting part man. I finished this oak long bow and was like " Hmm. Maybe I should see how ur sposed to shoot this damn thing". Everything u said was right but how the hell do u get ur elbow to go back straight behind u like that? Im 50 and in good shape and in playin hell tryin to do that.

THANK YEW BILLY. HAVE FUN GARE

HIGH FOSSILFOOL. GOOD SAILING. I MADE THE QUIVER BY SEWING A CUT IN HALF OLD QUIVER FROM THE GARBAGE TO A REGULAR BELT. THE QUIVER IS SOFT AND THE BELT CINCHES THE QUIVER AGAINST THE ARROWS SO I CAN RUN OR BEND WITHOUT LOSS OF ARROWS. BEST PART IS IT LOOKS COOL AND IS COMFORTABLE. HAVE FUN GARE

@@garychynne1377 Thx for checking my channel. It's a sweet quiver. I'm glad you made it yourself. My sewing machine can go through leather. Maybe I'll try one. I just improvised a back quiver and walked the course at Redwood Bowmen here in Oakland. I loved the drawing experience but didn't like the reloading experience.

HI LEFTY. YES AS LONG AS U DRAW TO YOUR EYE THE DRAW WILL BE STRAIGHT NO MATTER WHERE U TOUCH. THANK YEW GARE

HIGH STEPHEN. HAVE FUN GARE

THANK YEW 00

HI LONEHOPLITE. I SIMPLY RELAX. FIST THE FOREARM. I GET A FEELING THE THE PRESSURE IS ON MY FINGERS. THEN THE SHOULDER RELAXES AND I FEEL THE SHOULDER JOINT MOVE INTO PLACE. THEN I GET THIS FEELING LIKE THE ARM IS HANGING FROM THE STRING. WHEN I GET THAT FEELING I KNOW THE ARM IS IS LINE WITH THE PRESSURE AND NO MUSCLES ARE BEING USED. LET GO. HAVE FUN GARE

You should make a video about it in the future Gary.

He did. Look into his videos and you will find it. It might be misleading to think everything in his arm and back are loose before releasing the arrow. The fact is, if only those attachments necessary to holding the power of the bow are engaged and all else is relaxed, then you have a quiet arrow while drawn and better group at the target.

THANK YEW

@@garychynne1377 yes 👍👍gostei dese arco e flecha, queria aprender fazer um arco dese
