I started archery after 9 years of range shooting. I could definitely say that after the basic course made with the recurve bow i "saw the light" when i used for the first time a compound. Compounds are definitely much more like a rifle and i loved them almost immediately. They have a trigger, a real sight and when you aiming you really feel like youre holding a weapon. With the recurves i never felt anything similar.. Im sure that some people would find the traditional bows more funny to shoot, but when it comes to precision, raw power and hunting performance its a no contest.. Compounds are on another planet.

Except for silence! Traditional bows are more suited for heavier arrows in terms with of gpp , most hunters shooting 45-60lb range will use 600-900 grain arrows shooting around 140fps these are High doc arrows with 300+ grain single bevel broad heads. The range is

I liked compounds because of the idea of tinkering, I loved the idea of taking a bow and tuning it with a set of arrows to be spot on with accuracy! Unfortunately a lot of compound is dominated by hunting, so you have to look a little deeper in order to find target compound material... some of my favorite compound shooters include: Jesse (the freak show) Broadwater, Chris Bee, and Kris Schaff!

I've shot both styles of bow and now I just shoot a recurve. It's just me and a simple bow. If I'm in the zone, I'm hitting the target. If I'm off I know it's not the bow. I sometimes shoot with a group. Of course with 4-6 people you need to keep it interesting so low score normally buys the first round after we get done. I'm normally the only one with a traditional bow and can't compete on the longer shots at a normal walking range. I also rarely end up buying the first round because I know with a large group someone will have an equipment failure with all that high tech equipment. It doesn't take much to knock a pin sight out of alignment or have a trigger malfunction. Unless I break my bow or lose all my arrows I will at least finish the course. Yes, I carry a second used ( already stretched) string and I wear a glove so I don't have much to worry about for equipment.

Much less equipment, thats for sure.

@davidlinihan3626 4 года назад

Bee America compounds outshoot crossbows. It’s a common misconception that crossbows shoot far “like rifles”.

@Intranetusa 3 года назад

@@davidlinihan3626 That is highly dependent on the model. Power is going to be mainly determined by draw weight x powerstroke. Overall, it is easier to have and use a crossbow more powerful than a compound bow, but some crossbows with a short powerstroke + higher draw weight will be out-shot by compounds with longer powerstroke + lower draw weight. But the strongest crossbows with much high draw weights and decently long powerstrokes will outshoot the strongest compound bows. The Ten Point Nitro XRT crossbow for example has a 16.5-17 inch powerstroke and a draw weight of 225lbs. That will out-shoot something like the higher tier compound bows with up to a 30-31 inch powerstroke and between 80-100lbs in max draw weight (eg. the heaviest Hoyts go up to maybe 70 or 80lbs whereas the PSE Gorilla Sy was up to 100lbs).

This is a helpful video! I was thinking traditional bows would be more my speed, but they didn't seem "mainstream" from what I've seen from my limited research, so I wasn't sure But you confirmed it with every point The biggest reason is compound bows do genuinely seem like weapons. Of course traditional bows were historically used as weapons too, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want to explore/emphasize the traditional art of archery. I'm not a hunter or Hawkeye lol Doesn't hurt that traditional bows are cheaper, either

Shooting traditionally opens a world of different types of aiming and techniques not found with compound shooting. Instinctive, gap, string walking, face walking, split vision, fixed crawl are a few as well as sight pins In Olympic style. I also think Jimmy Blackmons reference technique is cool for hunters.

Both is better!!

@josephtreadlightly5686 Год назад

These days u can have the best of both. ILF has a place in barebow target & hunting. But a target recurve bow is 68" to 70" & most hunters r shooting 56" to 62". If u r not a newbie that has been bowhunting for a while & want to go trad & just want to hunt then this would be a realistic $ breakdown. A flagship bow will go for $1000-$1400. The same equivalent in trad with a ILF bow for hunting would run u $550-$700. That's riser, limbs & string. To be as ethical as possible your arrows & broadheads will run u a little more than some guys r running through their compunds. I highly suggest to start with a lower poundage limb that will be easy for u to build up your muscle memory while giving u a chance to develop strong form. After that u can go a little higher limbs with more or some carbon in them. I shoot a lower poundage/less carbon composite limb for training & hunt with a limb that has just a few more lbs. but quite a bit more carbon in it. The training limb is more forgiving & the hunting limbs pack a punch. Any road u choose don't go with too big of a boat with not enough motor so u will not be able to get the boat up to plane. 🎉

@r1sabotage 2 года назад

Hi Rich, hope all is well. How's the archery thing going? I just read your post and I think if switching from right to left doesn't work the next best bet would be to just shoot instinctively. You can shoot a compound instinctively as well. Just get rid of all the peep and sight stuff, this way you can leave both of your eyes or the good eye open. Your brain will adjust from there. My daughter, for some reason, just could not shoot well with peeps and sights on her compound so I just removed them and she she started shooting well like she does with her traditional. The only down side is it takes years to be really good shooting instinctively

you mean she is not canting the bow? Most trad & recurve shooters don't cant the bow and most places you go to learn as a beginner teach you not to cant the bow: it's considered a form fault as it makes it harder to be consistent. But of course, if it works for you, there is nothing wrong with it. And it looks good on camera, which is why it's often done in Hollywood films & TV shows.

@@zetacrucis681 well thanks for teaching me a new word. And yeah its just the way I learned to shoot in order to keep the arrow set with no notch.

@wewatchmovies4446 2 года назад

And I don't really "aim" when I shoot. I've got a hunter friend (compound bow)that insists I must have a visual "landmark" or point of focus when I shoot, but I don't. I just focus on what I want to hit and I can do that the way I larned to shoot, canting the bow

@zetacrucis681 2 года назад

@@wewatchmovies4446 You have just perfectly described "instinctive" shooting. You feel the shot rather than consciously methodically aim (like when you throw a ball or stone at something). It must be very satisfying to be able to shoot that way, but I can't do that - when I try to my aim gets a lot worse. Maybe with time and a lot more practice it's something that might develop, but maybe it won't and the bow will remain something I operate rather than something that is an extension of my body.

@wewatchmovies4446 2 года назад

@@zetacrucis681 I thought all trad bowists shot that way. Hence my initial comment. You're teaching me a whole bunch

@Maniacal_Laughter 2 года назад

It seems a compound would be better for me overall, but something about the Recurve calls to me.

I went to traditional archery because they are much more suited for me I have a 32 inch draw length. when I was out looking for a compound bow I could not find one that can draw up to 32 inches.

@OutdoorsAllie 2 года назад

Dang, ya that is a long draw!

@stevehuffman7453 3 года назад

because I am deformed/handicapped a fully adjustable compound bow is "best" for me. With my compound bow, I can get a full 62.3 pound draw at my draw length of 23 inches. With my 70 pound takedown recurve, I only get 47.32 pounds at my draw length. Admittedly, my arrow velocity with either sucks. Compound bow is 190 to 195 fps with a 460 grain arrow, according to the crono. I haven't used a crono shooting the recurve, but I know it is a bunch slower.

I happy to hear you are still out there shooting Steve!
