Not a great round of shooting! This video was shot the same day, after the Coyote Challenge video and my arm was toast! @timbow50 testing out your strategy. I'll be doing this method again soon when I'm fresh and shooting better.
Thank you taking the time to put this video together. Here is a tip for you - once you have sighted in, only shoot at a blank target. I cover my target with a black contractor bag and just aim for the middle of the target form each time, regardless of where each arrow hits. This method allows the shooter to better observe pin float and removes the anxiety of the bullseye. I bet that you shoot better groups using this method, even though you won't have a definitive aiming point. In your case, you can use your normal target backing, as it is already black. I hope you try it. Good luck with your shooting.
@@adamnickel Good luck. My mom turns 89-years old in August and still shoots a compound bow. When she shoots at the covered target, her groups are always better than when she shoots at a bullseye. This method also trains a shooter to aim at the center of a featureless form - like the chest area of a deer. Let me know if your groups improve - especially at long range - and remember to aim at the middle and don't follow your arrows.
I do a lot of blank baling as well. Rarely do I get anticipation anymore from focusing on my process and doing this. Whenever I can’t get to the range I just shoot at a blank target at home to work on different aspects of my process. I did a video “30 days of blank baling” recently. Saw some consistent progress just making sure to shoot everyday. With that said this dot got in my head that day and my arm was tired so I was all over the place. Thanks for the feedback! This has been a very valuable thing for me to incorporate.
@@1337Miller Thanks again for putting your videos together. When archers with a channel do these types of videos, it is like having another coach to get good tips and practice methods from. Good luck in any tournaments or hunting you do this year and thanks again.
I’m no professional archer. However I may have noticed something in your shot process that might have been causing those fluctuations. Your grip on the bow was open handed. I know I used to do that and I would chase my target. Maybe you could try two/three finger light grip on the front of the riser. And maybe bump down some weight on that stabilizer. Good video. Keep up the great work 🤙
I’ve found a spot in my hand that I can tell exactly where it’s at based on the pad of my thumb. I’ll mess around with what you suggested though. Appreciate the feedback!
The best advice I’ve ever gotten from a friend is when you are doing one thing is to have no mind to focus on the single thing you are doing in the present moment 😁 hope this helps you out and your mind set 🥳
Sometimes I get so frustrated at myself. One day those arrows just fly right into the dot and the next day it’s like nope, ain’t happening! I’ve talked to some podium grade archers at ASA events and they have days like that. Naturally, it’s on their scale which is like 1” off instead of 5-6” like me lol. They tell me that’s an opportunity to figure out why. A couple said they might just stop and go do something else. I usually just keep at it for a while. Sometimes I will get my act back together. Sometimes not.
I know how you feel, but just know that everyone who has ever shot a bow struggles at times. Even though it’s frustrating ,don’t be hard on yourself and remember it’s not just you, it’s all of us. I try and focus on my form and even though it took years my bad days are not as often as they once were.
It’s always good to know that others have similar days. In my short time of shooting my bad days have gotten less frequent and those days are much better than they used to be.
You gotta be able to be exactly repeatable to get the same results, I make sure my sight housing gaps are all exactly how they should be then Go back to my bubble. Make sure it's good and then put the pin and squeeze. But I constantly make sure that all my things are in line so that I can have the same shot every time. It's a big thing to try and get into a good habit of doing
I don’t think so. First shot might have looked like it because I jump edited it close to the shot going off. One thing I think I’m good at is going through my process and having a surprise shot.
