One of the best intro to archery videos I've seen! I'm especially impressed that you didn't call out all the specific brands of the products you're using, even though Go Hunt sells them. It was very informative and gave the best advice of talking to you're local pro shop. Great video!
This is one of those videos they should show new archers. Very thorough and easy to understand especially the part about swallowing your pride and shoot a draw weight you can handle. I’ve seen to much weight do more harm than good (speaking from experience). Great video 👍
Not sure where the comment “tags are easier to get” came from…….other than that I like the video for the beginner. As a veteran at bow hunting I learned a thing or two. Thanks for posting!
Great Video Trail the information is spot on and made easy so the New person can understand it. Thank you for sharing and caring for other Go Hunt is a great help to many
Great vid, Trail! I've been archery hunting and shooting a bow now for almost 10yrs and I just started complaining about the draw cycle in my VX3 33. I filmed myself going through my draw and things started getting sloppy. It's a repetitive motion for sure and you have to do it daily! PS- can you provide details on your grip? Thx
Awesome video Trail and GoHunt. This is perfect for someone who is just starting out or used a handed down bow for years and is looking to get into a new one. I got a discount on a barely used PRIME Black 3 and I look forward to getting it dialed in, including some new arrows like I saw on the GoHunt gear shop.
Thanks so much Trail! I just got set up 2 weeks ago and the addiction has begun. Would love to hear any recommendations you have for conditioning specifically for archery shooting. I’ve been shooting everyday, getting consistent tight 5 shot groups at 20 and 30 yards but only can manage 4-5 5 shit rounds before my left arm is spent.
Hi there, it's hard to beat the repetition of just shooting your bow. One tip I might suggest is aiming drills. Just draw, anchor, and aim until you feel the shot start to break down and then let down. This will help in a couple ways, it will strengthen those muscles and it will allow you to get used to the pin sitting where you want to hit without having to fire. Aiming drills are really good to help you get stronger without developing bad shot habits from dumping the trigger to alleviate that strain of aiming. A couple other exercises worth noting are single arm dumbbell rows, dumbbell side raises, and even planks to improve your core strength. I would also suggest a set of strength bands, you can use those at your office or if you are on the road to go through the same motion of drawing and anchoring. Hope that helps some, all the best!
good stuff. Some orthopedic docs will disagree with the notion of keeping the elbow above the shoulder as you draw as there are bumps on the top of the humorous that can cause damage and impingement in the socket of the shoulder. I think as long as it's not extremely high like the 'over bowed' guys you speak of it's ok, but I do think it's something to watch as I've had shoulder issues over the 30 years of shooting bows.
Hi there, I agree to a certain extent and perhaps we are saying the same thing. You don't want to draw with your drawing elbow above your shoulder, rather you want it relatively level. If you are getting your draw hand up above the height of you chin and your elbow is high you can develop shoulder socket issues. Mostly I wanted to highlight the issue I see with folks drawing with their shoulder tucked down and forward and pulling the string back into their body and then rotating the draw elbow up and around as they reach full draw. That method isn't as efficient and doesn't allow you to draw with the strength of the rhomboid. In that case you are using the bicep primarily and putting the tension mostly in the shoulder. Take a look at any video of competitive top level archers and you'll note that none of them are drawing in a manner where their draw arm is tucked, low, and they are drawing and then rotating up into anchor point.
Your wing span isn't always the right way to get close to your draw length. Everyone says that and Yes it might work and be close for some people but not everyone. My wingspan measurement says my draw length should be 29in and it's actually not even close. My real draw length is little over 31in and that fits me perfectly not over drawn and not to short.
@@GOHUNT Oo ok ok thank you I definitely gonna check em out, but When you guys gonna set up an Indoor 3D Range, Lil private range with bunch of 3D animals at different distances, right there at the new offices for inside members an Vegas locals ???

How many videos are we seeing these days where elk / deer are spooked by the archer because they're unable to smoothly draw back & are yanking there bows uncontrollably into the back wall ??? MANY !!!!!!
Hi there, it's just tennis racket tape that you can buy at almost any sporting goods store. Couple brands that make it are Wilson and Gamma. They make it in different colors and thickness. Some have a little padding in the tape and others are really thin. I like the feel of the medium, it has a little padding to it. If I recall I like the Gamma Ultra Cushion textured version best. Hope that helps!
