S3 Archery - Draw Techniques 

I love your leather underarm protection, looks very good.

I learn so much...

Thanks for a great informative video. Out of interest what is gap shooting?

Starts @ 3:00

Truly enjoy your videos, thank you. What quiver do you use?

Nice demonstration. The only thing I really don't agree with is that you said gap shooters use a straight draw in order to site off the arrow tip. You can't site off the tip before or during the draw, only at full draw. So it really doesn't matter how you draw in order to aim gap method. Recurves with big heavy risers are more conducive to a straight draw while light-in-the-hand longbows are easier to swing draw.

awesome video, but I have a question. what about a draw that you bring the bow high and as you come back down you draw. it tends to favor instinctive archers like myself but do you have and opinions on it

How do you know you are using the right muscles (back instead of arm) with the straight draw?

I have the issue with the collapsing shoulder/elbow. I straight draw because I gap shoot but I'm not that strong. I used to be able to shoot with a straight arm and low shoulder however when I got better and changed to gap method, it seems to be an issue I can't fix now (collapsing arm). This is making my shots inconsistent (draw length). I will try the swing draw again and the hybrid method and see how that goes.

Hey where can you get that quiver from? Very nice.

I like your quiver, is it custom, or can I buy one like it

How far a 60lbs recurve bow can hit?

Who makes your back quiver ?

What is your opinion on starting the draw horizontally above the shoulder?

I am buying my 16 year old grandson his first bow set for Christmas for target practice. I am concerned about the strength it takes to pull the string back. Please comment on what would be best for him.

Are you gap shooting?

How do you not hit your wrist when you release the string?

,sounds like your arrows are way to light in grain per pound very loud and noisy bow. My Kodiak is very quiet I'm shooting Bear Micro flight 8 arrows with four fletch 5" feathers

I have a problem with the arrow moving away from the side plate when I draw. Do you have any suggestions that I might try to help me. Thanks

As a instick archer I agree in second technigue. String draw is much better. I remember one time as kid to to hit middle of car's rim, moving car that is, with string draw and arrow with out fletchings. It on had metal string in weightings in end top. We had newer even heard proper fletching that time, we just playing around basic handmeid bows with out any instruction, very common type of game in my time and generations before me among my people. No they all in internet instead shooting wooden arrows to each other in woods... :(

Meh... nothing special here..
