Archers!🏹!! This post is excellent and well worth watching and listening to! This lesson will definitely improve your shot ! I am very good at doing archery wrong!! This post cut out a lot of wrong!! Thank You Mr. Phillips!!!🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🙏🦃🦌
Love your set up in your garden....that is fuggin cool mate.....I live in a flat in the uk....and have to go to the range......but your garden....wow.....I'd be out there rain or shine practise.....informative video mate....something never thought about,cheers....and god bless mate👍🏻
You know I haven't even tried what you're talkin about yet, but what you're preaching to me I'm thinking... I just need to focus!!! I'm not focusing, I'm just flingin arrows. If I actually get to the point and I can see it in my mind of Total Focus there's no stopping my accuracy potential
Single most valuable thing to do with consistency in instinctive shooting ive heard mate appreciate the tips Cheers from Australia I shoot 125grain field points at my targets but ready to hunt now would 125g broadheads be a good start as they are the same weight as what I shoot everyday? I use 500 gold tip trads out of a 45lb longbow thanks for the help mate
I just moved over to an micro diameter arrow setup with the outsert. I didn't notice it touching my finger like you described. I have to go back and check that. I enjoy your videos mostly because I am a purely instinctive shooter like yourself.
Jeff, can you make a video showing how instinctive shooting works in real time, while shooting targets at different ranges? I didn't know you were an instinctive shooter and I've been wondering if I should go that route as a beginner. I would rather be instinctive, as opposed to going with string walking or gap shooting, if possible. Wanted to see if you can hit the target at different ranges, on the fly - with targets being moved around in real time on camera. That would convince me on this method for sure, as then I would know you didn't rehearse or practice on those targets at different ranges like so many other bow shooters do. Thanks for all of your content!
Well it seems great minds must work alike. I was thinking about putting an extra layer of paint around the barrel of my shaft near the point to do this very same thing. Good job!
Jeff I have heard you mention several times in your videos a "double anchor." What exactly do you mean by that? Could you mention and explain that in one of your videos? I don't mean make a complete video about that, just describe it in one of your future videos. Thanks a lot Jeff. Jim
It’s a touch of the outsert for a mental trigger just like a clicker letting you know you’re at full draw and with instinctive shooting the closer to the bow hand the arrow is the better just like an ASL Hill style longbow versus an elevated rest but that’s just for instinctive not gap shooting 👍🏻
I cut off about a 1/8" length of rubber hose (gas line, I think) that has an inside diameter just right to stretch over my arrow shaft. I can position it for a draw check that touches my finger just as you did with the wrap. It is thicker, so easier to feel. Seems to have no effect on arrow flight and just slides up the shaft when it hits the target. I just slide it back down to where I want it before shooting it again.
Jeff, I’m trying to stay with you on this but if I trim my shafts say a quarter of an inch at a time while bare shaft tuning and the length is good how can I just forget all the bare shaft tuning and cut the arrow to incorporate this new idea of shooting! If the tuning tells me the arrow needs to be longer then I cannot cut it to shoot the way you are suggesting! Correct? Ron
Yes sir I understand completely, in my case I had several arrow setups bare shaft tuned with the same length and weight up front, I even replaced some of the brass inserts with ethic’s and victory stainless outserts of the same weight just to be able to feel them at full draw but no the tuning is most important just have to play with point weight to work with the shaft length it takes to work just right for you but it’s awesome if you can both feel the outserts and have the arrows flying great 👍🏻
Like a clicker w/o the downside of a clicker going off & triggering a seizure, ha haha lol😄. I shoot all 4mm arrows & I've always seen the outsert as a positive, not a negative.
'Instinctive' archery/shooting is a misnomer. Archery is a learned behavior. Like his field tip touching the finger. Archery would have to be an innate behavior, from birth, like breathing, migration, hibernation, fight or flight, etc, to be called instinctive. Hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity are learned, not innate, behaviors. Archery is a learned skill gained through repetitions. No one is born with the ability to pick up a bow for the first time and automatically start hitting a consistent bullseye. That would be instinctive archery. For anyone getting offended, look up the word 'instinctive', and you will see it does not apply to archery because it's a learned skill and not something we are born to know and do. No sport is instinctive. We learn the skill sets, and some of us become better than others as a result
LOL. Instead looking up the dictionary for the word 'instinctive', look for 'instinctive archery'. It's a thing. Instinctive archery is a traditional and ancient form of archery that has been practiced by people all over the world for centuries, so there's some merit to it. Before you got butthurt over etimology, here's what it means: *an art in which you can shoot your arrows perfectly without consciously aiming, without any aiming systems or mechanisms.* For example, shooting a bow without a scope or a thumb release, etc. Yes, some people are natural born archers but 'instinctive shooting' can also be learned.
I added a washer slightly bigger than my arrow shaft to the o ring of my field tip to gain some extra weight up front, it had the same effect as you described, thanks for making these videos, they really helped me improve
@@kaizen5023 well I wouldn't use it for hunting, for target practice I use a hay bale, the arrows wouldn't make it as deep but penetrate sufficient, anyhow, this was just a bush fix, I got outserts on my new arrows now, so I just pull till the outsert touches my finger
It’s a little device people put on their limb that has a string tied to the bowstring and it’s adjustable to make a slight click at a certain draw to let the shooter know they’re at their full draw, there’s lots of different ones and they’re a great training tool.
Just recently do found your videos and been enjoying them. I have a Falco vintage Long bow and love shooting it.would lik to try different arrows it's 45# at 28. I'm pulling 29 so it's probably around 48to 50#. What arrow would you recommend? Thanks
Probably 500’s but everything depends on point weight you’ll need over 250gr up front no matter what and you might be able to shoot a 400 shaft with enough up front 👍🏻
Michael: Hello from another happy Falco Vintage user. I have a 2017, 35# Myth and a brand new 45# double carbon Saga. Which bow have you got, and how are your arrows working out?
@@michaelbrown8248 Hi Michael: Nice to hear. Falco Vintage is a whole line of bow models - which one is yours? It should be printed on the belly side of the lower limb, just above the serial number and poundage.
