Archery | Sighting Tips 

Hey Nu. I've been binging your videos ever since I joined a local archery club. This is one of your best. I've been constantly forgetting which direction to make adjustments, and the "chase the arrow" is a great rule of thumb. Your demonstrations of groupings and how to look at them for consistency and tendencies are great, and even though at my club we shoot sets of 3 and not 6, I'm going to keep your advice in mind.

Because of you sir i started archery! Your videos are the best archeryvideos on youtube! Much respect from germany! Keep up the good work!

Nu, I'm very new to archery but I have to thank you for your videos. Watching them has really given me the foundation and more so, the confidence to get myself to the range to practice. Please keep making videos, they're very helpful and I (as I'm sure many others do) enjoy spending time listening to your tips. Thanks for everything. Edit: I just noticed you play WT! You're the best!

Thank you for great videos. I am new to archery and your videos are very informative and answered lots of questions. Keep up the good works.

Nu, thanks for the excellent explinations and detail in your videos i have just gotten a recurve recently and come from a compound drawing 60# its a bit odd but i am really enjoying the conversion, i see many mistakes im making from whatching these vids and i appreciate what you do. Thanks, -sam

Another great video, with very good advice. Thanks!

Great video. Alot of questions answered.

Another very, very good video - thank you!

thanks for sharing this information. it answer alot questions I had.

Sending love to the Sensei!!!! Great teaching brother but you should do a video on aiming the sight techniques

Thank you so much for the video. It’s very helpful!

Great video!

Hi well explained friend . very informative thanks a lot

Thank you for the tons of information you offer on this channel! I would be interested in an explanation of the aiming process refering to the shot cycle! When I started to shoot the Olympic Recurve Bow I had no Idea about my aiming process though I was very familiar to the ways of adjustment, string alignment, etc. The problem I found was that I startet aiming too late in the shot cycle. I focused on my sight picture only when I reached my final anchoring position. As a result, my sight always stayed one or two rings beneath the gold and I had to rise my bowarm to come back to center which caused fatigue and elongated the transfer phase (which caused more fatigue). I did a lot of research on training methods and -theories but I haven´t found any information that clarified the process of aiming. The potential end of my journey was an experienced shooter at a tournament who simply said: "You must start aiming when you rise the bow! Bring the aperture to a precise located spot above the gold before you start your loading phase every single time! When you reach the anchor, your sight has to stay exactly on the gold and float around it. If it´s not: Adjust your pre-aiming spot at the next shot! When you are in the anchor position your focus is just on the shot execution and nothing else!" After this, I started to interview more experienced shooters about this issue and most of them do it the same way! So, I wonder why there are so many unclear statements about the proper aiming? It would be great to see a video about this issues! Greetings from Germany Shoot straight and keep up the good work!!!

Thanks for the great vids Nu. Question for you, once you're sighted in for all distances and barring any significant crosswind, would there be any reason to change your windage adjustment?

very interesting video, newer thought about the "story behind the group" ...

Interesting video, sights and which eye to use are the areas I have the most issues with

Thanks for the lessons What happens when you are shooting long distances and can'tget the sight low enough? Do you look into going up draw weight or use lighter arrows?

Get the arrows to group first before adjusting anything on your sight, I've moved from compound to recurve and getting out of the sight fiddling habit took some doing

lololol slayed at my keyboard when he brought up the binocs to see his shot!!!!!!!! XD

This helped

It will be great if you make a video about aiming. Both eye open, one eye open, focusing on sight or focusing on target... there are many information but not particularly about archery. Thanks!

Thanks Dave! Another great video.

Will you please show how to move for aiming without breaking tension?

that target face on the left at 0:30. Where can I get one like that?

Hello! I'm an intermediate shooter, but I just started out with sights. I'm a little bit confused about shooting from a long distance where you have to compensate for gravity, therefore, having to shoot higher than usual. For example, if my arrows are landing very low, shouldn't the sight be very low as well? If you have to aim high, wouldn't you need to have the sight UNDER the arrow? Is this possible? I'm confused because that doesn't seem like something people do. Help please!

6:12 made my day

Exellent video.learnt a lot Thanks a million

Hi, I see you are using a home made target. I've looked at lots of ways to make a cheap target, would value your opinion. Thanks

So, since arrows are much slower projectiles than a bullet, the Kentucky-Windage style of aim-adjustment is a repeatable practice for archery? In rifles, center-mass aiming and tight adjustment of the sites is key because of the speed of the projectile. Doesn't seem to be the case with archery. I'm asking this because I am a beginner switching from rifle hunting (millions of rounds down range in practice, barely any game) to archery hunting (much better seasons). I have rifle habits that I need to separate from my archery practice so if anyone can help me switch my thinking with a few tips or a youtube video I can watch - much appreciated.

I’m a beginner and would like to add a sight to my recurve ; are all sights that are for sale online. Universal ?

i was training the other day and i made a BIG mistake: decided to switch to the outside target, i change my sight and my shot goes very high but still in the top of the target, adjust sight by moving the sight DOWN, and BAM i shoot and the arrow goes for the stars haha, luckly it landed in the grass without burying itself

Anchor Point: Can you share more about this. Looks like you are using the "Side Anchor" which I am told is the best so far.

sir my son is 12 year old he can easily shoot at 20 mts and 30 mts draw weight of his limbs is 34 but he cann't shoot at 50 mts,this is because of draw weight or lake of practice on 50 mts,please tell.

What are you using as a target?

How often should I wax my string ?

my biggest problem is the further I get out (usually past 40m) my sights have to get lower and lower and then it gets so close the arrow might hit the sight itself.... what to do? It can be set fairly far out, or close, but even when I do that I still have this problem... :0

I have a question about chasing the arrow. You said that if the shot goes left, you adjust to the left. Does the same principle apply if you don't use a sight?

The shots at 12:00 look like what happens to me when I forget to compensate for my cross-dominance :P

Do you align the string when shooting? I been shooting with the string on tip of nose but rarely or never see the string and my group is decent, but when i do see the blurred string and put it next to the sight pin or riser the shots go everywhere, should i work on string alignment?

think 3 is best just my way

How do you do to adjust the sight at 70 mtrs for the first time?

What's a good entry level youth bow thats about #20-25 and at about 100-150$

how long have you been doing archery?

0:00 - 0:12 is me at 18m lmao

12:10 UHU,UHU!

thanks for video. i just got a sight and tried following the arrow and when i made adjustments it got worse. got to blame my technique and not the sight

form form form and spend time with your bow

for left and right adjustment, is it better to adjust sight or plunger?

People move their sights after one shot cause they see people at the olympics doing it. Well, those people got to the olympics because they almost never, ever mess up a shot. So if the arrow doesn't go where it's supposed to, it's almost always the sight. And when they do mess up, they are disciplined enough to know that they messed up.

I've been doing archery for 3 years.. When its starts 50 and 70 meters I cannot find my right sight yet always miss target.. I already tune to add poundange on my bow but still didn't get any a good result.Can you please give another opinion how to find sight in long range distance?
