Shooting TRAD BOW class at 80 YARDS

This video shows the process of me getting dialed in for a trad bow shoot for field archery. This particular shoot is based on NFAA rules, which has field, hunter, and animal targets ranging from 7-80 yards. The trad class differs from the recurve barebow class in a couple of key ways. Even though the equipment itself is very similar, you cannot stringwalk nor facewalk in the trad class. Your index finger needs to be against the nock for all shots. This makes choosing an aiming system challenging, because you need to select a compromise based on distance. I ended up choosing a lower "Kaminski barebow" style of anchor which gave me a point on distance of around 67-68 yards. I still needed to aim above the target bale for 80, but not nearly as much as with my normal hunting anchor. It certainly helped for the longer shots, but after the actual shoot was over I do feel that I would have been better served with that middle-of-the-road point on distance of around 45-50 yards, since the distribution of scorable arrows was much more heavily weighted towards the mid-distances.

Yes. More trad videos/Saddle hunting with trad bows. Great video.

@DIYSportsman Год назад

Sounds good, will do!

@kennygibson1164 Год назад

Great video, I'd like to see more traditional bow content

@DIYSportsman Год назад

Sounds good, I'll make it happen

@gcr0003 Год назад

Can’t get enough of the trad content. Thanks for helping us get through the off season.

Not time to hunt live game with your trad setup yet. Overthinking everything imo. Feel and mass quantities of arrows are your best friend.

@DIYSportsman Год назад

Fortunately the hunting setup is much simpler. Very short shots so I keep the same anchor and basically shoot a subconscious gap bordering on instinctive in the woods. Of course that style wouldn't work well competitively on Field hence the more detailed preparation procedure.

Thanks for the video

Appreciate your choice to try an official NFAA Field Archery Event. Find yourself a seasoned Trad target archer and have them give you some helpful insight. Here in California we have some very good Trad target archers that would be able to answer many of your questions. Barebow Recurve is very prevalent here and we shoot out to 101yds in the NFAA Marked 3D Tournament. Practice, practice, practice. Good luck.

Good luck shooting those long distance, tough with a trad bow.

Tip do one way and stuck to it the more u change stuff around

@bwfreel Год назад

You can learn a lot shooting long distances, and it’s a lot of fun too!

@ajaxthe87 Год назад

Do trad content! Subbed.

40-80 yards trad hunting (western states like AZ, UT, NM) what or how you think the best approach is as far as shooting the bow its self. Before the trolls rip my head off for asking; I'm asking for myself and for clients that come out to hunt with their trad equipment (which isn't very often but it does happen) where the average opportunity with a compound bow is 40-80 yards simply because there isn't a way to get any closer to the animal. AND I'm really new to traditional hunting for myself. Thanks DIY Sportsman

I'm probably not the best to answer as I'm not very experienced in that venue. Time of flight is a major risk and yardage is ultra critical with the trajectory. It would usually take me a shot or two to really dial in how high I need to hold the tip of my arrow, not to mention an imperfect release could send the arrow off by several feet at distance. From what I've gathered peripherally from talking to and listening to people who hunt out west a lot with traditional gear, they still try to get close. Aron Snyder did a good job documenting his experiences going from being a very proficient long range compound shooter and then transitioned into traditional for several dozen animals. It's several podcasts' worth of info on both Gritty and Kifarucast, but he did mention on several occasions that when his compound hunt would normally end, that's when the traditional hunt was just beginning and he had to refine his spot and stalk skills to get within 30, 20, or even sub 15 yards.

Nothing wrong with taking a 40 yard shot with a stick bow if you can make it happen. Just practice so you now your arrow trajectory. Fred Bear, Polar Bear 50 plus yards, practice and select an animal that’s not moving around

Super helpful to hear you break things down out loud. Great video!

@brushcrawler8612 Год назад

Good Luck 🤞🏹 Take us out for trail cam hanging please

What happened to the RK1?

@DIYSportsman Год назад

I still have it and shoot it occasionally. My draw is a couple inches longer now than when I'd first got the rk1. And currently I just have the 60" longbow limbs at 58# at my draw so it's a little stout to shoot for me. I adjusted the tiller with a wedge to make it even instead of positive as well, which has helped with finger pressure and tune for 3 under.

@benpower3458 Год назад

Yes more trad videos!! Great shooting!!

@zeangelinofishing961 Год назад

Love the trad content!! More please!!

@h-minus2212 Год назад

A few years ago when the Olympics were in London, I was able to watch a lot of the archery competition. I explained to my mother-in-law how the archers use a clicker to aid in the aiming process. The South Koreans are machines. Great content. Good luck this fall.

@DIYSportsman Год назад

Ah yes, it's super intriguing to watch them compete and understand why they do the things they do with their setup and shot process!

@ItsDburch Год назад

This was a cool video. Not just in the long distance, but in showing people the thinking process of aiming a trad bow. Showing people that it can be more than just "burning a hole in the target, and then throwing the baseball."

@DIYSportsman Год назад

Right. When I first started that was the mentality that I had due to a preconceived notion of what I thought traditional was, but after being open minded and learning about the various disciplines and styles, it really opened up a whole new realm to dive into.
