If you have a routine shot sequence, and a concrete aiming system, you can shoot a recurve or a longbow very accurately. And so, this video is for you. You guys that are out there that have always carried a compound bow into the woods or a crossbow, but always wanted to try a recurve or a longbow. This video is for you, those guys that have been struggling for three to five years shooting a recurve or a longbow instinctively, but are frustrated with your accuracy. This video is also for you guys that have or own a recurve or a longbow, and every spring you tell yourself "This is the year I'm going to carry a recurve or a longbow into the woods." But come August, you're not satisfied with your accuracy, and you fall back onto the compound, and the cycle continues. Well, this IS the year that you're going to carry your recurve into the woods. There are a hundred different ways to shoot a bow, and this is just one of them- a full aiming system that will help you shoot your recurve and longbow accurately. If you are completely satisfied with your shooting abilities with a recurve or a longbow, then this video is not for you. But if you want to be able to accurately shoot your bow within a short period of time, then this video is for you, and enjoy.

I am 65 years old and have been shooting, off and on, casually since I was a young teenager. I learned more about archery by watching this 2 hour video than the sum of all I have learned over the last 50+ years. Thank you for putting this video out there for folks like me who enjoy shooting a bow but haven't done the in-depth research to enjoy it that much more.

@timber4896 2 года назад

Same story but I am 50 within two days of shooting the fixed crawl I am now shooting a 1 inch group at 20 yards. Hands-down the best video I have ever watched. Oh and for the first time in 35 years I will be putting my compound in the closet next deer season.

@multiculturehead yep and having to search the internet for the info being from one old no longer updated site of older persons info to the new people using recurve/flat Bows due to how they are on the beginners side for a good hunting bow, cheaper then the lowest good compound bow, a Genesis bow or specific Barnet bow-fishing bow without the bow-fishing parts on it.

I'm in the UK, been an archer for 18 yrs, learned more about this subject/passion of ours watching this vid, than I have going to archery clubs here in all that time. I am now a traditional shooter and independent of clubs in England (they only care about Olympic style target archery, I couldn't even shoot an English longbow at my last club). This is like a breath of fresh air, I will watch this vid until I can recite every word! So well explained in plain language and with practical demo's - I love it, I feel as if the scales have been taken from my eyes. Thank You, Thank You so much. God bless America!

I'm glad I brought up your RU-vid Archery Movie, It has shown a distinct difference to the competitive side my wife and I were trained at our local club (this stopped completely when my wife condition worsened 15yrs ago) We went the usual route 2nd hand Alum riser Recurve Bow, and then found such freedom with our mainly Osage mix 40,45,50# 73" Longbows, with occasional Agincourt distance clout for fun, so we would have enjoyed what might be called in this country "Field Archery". I like your soft N. American voice putting over such valuable aiming pointers along with stance presentation, thank you and your friends for this worthy display of Archery without dogma.

make sure you get an arm guard, particularly for recurve and long bow style shooting, takes a bit to get the right form where the string wont strike your inner arm on release.

I’ve been thinking seriously about going back to my roots and shooting traditionally and this superb video has convinced me that’s what I will do. I still have dads first Bear Kodiak hangin in my shop. Gonna try one of the newer alum risers so my son can hang them both in his shop some day to admire. Thanks so much for an excellent video! I’ll use it over and over until I become proficient and knowledgeable enuf without it!

@mocowoodsman Год назад

I am blown away by the Fixed Crawl. I have been shooting/hunting traditional since I was 14 years old in 1999. I always have shot instinctively. Back then, I would shoot 4-6 hours a day, all summer long, and could drop three arrows into a red solo cup at 30 yards no problem. Then came adulthood….At 23 I started traveling for work and my accuracy took a dive as I wasn’t able to shoot no where near as much as I had in previous years. I was shooting ‘just good enough’ and was able to take a handful of deer over the years. Recently, the last 3-4 years though, with a demanding job, family obligations (wife/Kid) and other numerous hobbies, I found myself unconfident of my shooting abilities. I have even been considering going with a compound but the allure of trad archery has kept me from it. I tried gap shooting but found it inconsistent and would inevitably switch back to instinctive before season opened. Then I found this video. Within an hour I was dropping 3 arrows into very tight groups at 30 yards. I haven’t shot this good in years and am amazed that I was able to increase my accuracy so quickly following the steps outlined in this video. I have found that I am instinctively drawing and my arrow is almost perfectly where it needs to be when I settle into my anchor. If it isn’t, I make the slight adjustment needed and the arrow goes where I want it to. I am beyond thankful for the detail put into this video and only wish I had found it sooner. Thank You!

Question. Would an archer have difficulty string crawling on a one piece recurve? Because you wouldn't be able to adjust your tiller, you are pulling back under center. Does that make any difference?

@mahatma_gandalf 3 года назад

This is just phenomenal. I started shooting a traditional bow when I was just a kid, and now I find that I am an old man of 50. A while back, I embraced the fact that I just don't make the world's greatest instinctive shooter. When I found out about string walking, I was eager to try it out. I clearly needed some way to aim rather than just pointing and shooting. What got to me about string walking was the fact that I could never seem to get an arrow to fly beautifully, the way a correctly spined arrow should. Walking up and down the string, changed the weight pushing behind the arrow, and therefore the arrow spine. Being a real stickler for perfectly spined shafts, I was about to give up and stick with instinctive shooting. Then one day, about 12 years ago, I began to realize that if I just drew from the same spot on the string BELOW the nocking point, I could exert better control over the trajectory of my arrow; far more so than when I was shooting instinctively. I started calling this "modified string walking", and even began to write a book about it. Needless to say, I abandoned the book a long time ago, but I've continued shooting that way ever since, and I am elated to find somebody else using the same method. Great job, brother. Keep up the good work.

I saw this video back in June 2016, set up my recurve and practiced, practiced, practiced. I fell in love with this method! I went hunting mule deer bucks in Northern Utah in August and bagged my first buck using this method. I ranged it at 29 yards, my limit was 30 yards, the broad head went right through its heart cutting it in 3 pieces. The broad head was a Badger, single right bevel in 125 gr. Thank you for producing this video and creating this method!

Badger broadheads are in my opinion the easiest broad head to tune they fly and penetrate really well but they need to be sharpened and not ready to hunt out of the package is the only issue

And apart from the added benefit of spending more quality time with him the past 2 months than we have had in 15 years, I must say the community is really awesome and supportive. I went to a 3d shoot out and people were just having fun, enjoying everything, and giving me advice since i am clearly a novice. I dont think i will ever put down the bow again.

I grew up with a small recurve my dad bought me. Heck even when I was very small I was shooting squirrels in the back yard with suction cup tipped arrows. I moved into wheeled archery when I was 18 and have killed at least one deer a year with a bow except one year when I could not seem to get a shot to save my life. I'm currently 54 and still do 99% of my hunting with a bow of some sort. I recently got a really sweet setup from a great guy who set me up with one of his machined risers and some uukha limbs and his custom strings. I am currently building some arrows and getting in some finger tabs and a few other accessories so I can shoot it, but I'm super excited. I've had a few nice recurves in the past, a Zipper being one the better ones but had no one to show me much back in those days. This video is truly a wealth of knowledge and although it is a bit long, it is very detailed and thorough. I learned a lot and look forward to giving this a try. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!

Instinctive archery is the absolute best, but it takes not 100's, but 1000's of arrows being shot at all sorts of distances. But once you start getting good at it is almost a spiritual experience with your intention and laser-like focus on your target being the only way you "aim". It is the most natural way to learn how to hit what you want, but most people do not want to take the time to do this. But if you have the patience to learn this way you will never gap shoot or string crawl again.

@Buran01 5 лет назад

For a lot of people is not matter of "want", but of "can". I can only train in the archery club, 2 days a week, 5 hours in total, at most. Should I stay mediocre for a few years, risking to lose interest in shooting, or should I take advantage from a method which is faster to learn and works?

@alexkoutdoor 4 года назад

I want but can't. Not enough time to make it to the range to become an effective and consistent instinctive Archer, I've tried. My next go at it will be string walking and a fixed crawl.

@DirtRoadGroceryStore 3 года назад

'xactly. Otherwise just put a sight on a recurve. Sights are cheap. Sights have been around long enough to be traditional. Must be a fashion thing.

I've got a bone to pick with you sir. Since adopting the fixed crawl I've been damaging the fletching on my brand new arrows because the groups are so tight.

Dude, I got 4 Robin Hoods, thanks to this video. My poor Gold Tip Trad arrows :((((

@veriest1 5 лет назад

That's good to hear! This video has reinforced my decision to give trad a try. I'm a compound shooter so I'm used to aiming at different points of the target for each shot.

@thechaoticbeing7964 4 года назад

Hey the way to fix that is by using a five point target

What a great educational film really enjoyed it learned a lot about how I shoot which I never realised I was doing good and bad,,I Like the way this young fella presents calm and confident not a insulting word for anybody if all our young men had this kind of attitude the world would be a better place,Thanks for the film and good luck to all involved your a credit to real men.

@msms7434 4 года назад

What can I say that hasn't been said 1100 times already? The quintessential video for any archery enthusiast. This will be the video I recommend to anyone asking about a good reference source for archery 'basics'. The blooper real at the end with the lads and your mates was really the icing on the cake. Really well done and thanks.

@blakeumthun8128 5 лет назад

I found this video, a couple weeks ago and, finally, decided to watch. Thank you!!!! I've been hunting with a compound for 11 years. A few years ago I bought a Bear recurve and tried my hardest to figure it out. But, to my demise, it went into the closet. Too hard to learn and quite frankly, it was a pain in the ass, not having anyone who knew what they were talking about.. About a week ago I decided to dust it off/ re-wax the string and go with the GAP method ( after watching Clay Hayes). Once I got a couple of arrows tuned, I noticed, right away, that I was getting tighter groups. But, this whole fixed crawl idea, sounds like the cat's pajamas. Two dedicated point on spots......who would've guessed?!?! I can't wait to get in the backyard and get this thing dialed in.

@outdoorsythings2573 3 года назад

great story/movie/documentary. I'm a purely instinctive shooter, I don't aim ,I just raise bow and shoot. I shoot split finger or thumb ring. I wish I had seen this video 30 years ago , would definitely have helped me back then starting, have showed a bunch of ppl this and everyone has enjoyed it and taken something from it. well done sir.

@erikminas-gilkes291 3 года назад

in 1925 a Penobscot (Panawahpskek) Indian chief (Northeastern USA and Canada) invented an adjustable draw weight with a "double bow" system. To this day, many Penobscot Indians use the 'Penobscot bow'. I am a traditional archer who makes his own bows usually with Red Oak or Maple wood. I am also Kalinago Indian (Northern Venezuela and Guyana through the Lower Antilles Islands and up to Honduras). Making your own bow has always been normal with my people. for thousands of years. I have made many Penobscot type bows that I adjust from 40 to 95 lbs by twisting the secondary bow strings. I have enjoyed your presentation. Mabrika !!

@joelvbushcraft 6 лет назад

Wow!!!! Fricken wow! I had no idea about a fixed crawl. This a game changer. This video was literally exactly what I needed, I just changed to 3 under which has increased my accuracy but consistency is still the issue like most primitive/traditional archers. I am pretty much shaking I’m so excited to start setting up my knocks and measuring out my 25 yard point on. Thank you so much for this in depth video, I really appreciate the effort you put into it. I will be religiously following your podcast.

@86Sumner 7 лет назад

I put off watching this because of the length and wasn't really sure what it was about. Now after watching this in pieces and going to the garage and practicing. This was absolutely nothing less than amazing. This film is a huge gift to the archery community. Thank you.

@stevechapman3982 6 лет назад

I just finished watching your video. Wow! Awesomely good job! Probably the most comprehensive trad archery video I've ever seen. I learned to shoot on a long bow as a kid. Quickly switched to a compound when I reached a viable hunting age. I stuck with that for decades!. Ten years ago I decided to return to a traditional bow for hunting. So I carried only my Bear Kodiak recurve for 5 consecutive seasons. I was rewarded with consistent success for the last 3 of those seasons. I still consider the taking of game with traditional gear to be the pinnacle of my life long hunting career, even though I've taken far more of what most consider "trophies" with other gear. It's the experience that makes the hunt! Fast forward... I'll be turning 51 during this coming whitetail rut. So I have transitioned to a crossbow the last 4 years - going along with most of my buddies. And of course it's a great hunting tool. But you sir have just reignited my desire to get back to that traditional experience I once enjoyed. I was a "split vision" shooter. I now endeavor to learn the "fixed crawl for hunting" method as you demonstrated. Wish me luck!?! And again, I really appreciate your sharing this video. Thanks! PS - you're so right... We should all respect others in their own methods of choice as long as they are legal. We are sportsmen, and it's the right thing to do!

@christophergibbons4431 2 года назад

you did a fantastic job on this video young man. this is a credit to you, and will certainly advance traditional archery as word of mouth increases the8 number of archers who watch it. i've already sent it to two archers i'm mentoring. it has already helped me, as i get back into traditional archery after decades away. thank you. may God bless you with many more decades of good health and traditional bow hunting.

@bowsmythe 3 года назад

I am so impressed to see so many young folks interested in traditional archery. I built my first self bow in the early 90's when I saw the first Primitive Archer magazine. I never dreamed traditional archery would ever take off like it has.

I've been shooting traditional gear instinctive for 4 years and never had enough confidence to hunt with it. I'll be giving the fixed crawl some practice in the off season. Maybe next year will be my year

@WatchMeTinker 8 лет назад

I just wanted to thank you for the time and energy you put into making this film. As someone who is an avid self educator in all things, this is exactly what I have been scouring the internet in hopes of finding on my journey into traditional archery. I found this to be very informative and of great assistance in my pursuit of knowledge. As a native Pennsylvanian in the south hills area i'd be down to shoot the breeze around a campfire sometime. Keep up the great work - Ryan

@twoowls4469 Год назад

After shooting traditional bows from my teens into my late twenties i got away from it. Now that I'm in my early sixties, I'm getting back into archery. Specifically traditional. I've gotten a bow that I like the feel of and have been watching videos on methods of setting up, shooting, etc. Thank you so much for bringing this content all into one place. As you said, early on, there are hundreds of vids. Yours is THE ONLY COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH.

@DanGleebowls 3 года назад

No filler, all information, all clear and concise. I can't wait for my first bow to arrive to put these steps into practice, and hopefully travel to the states for a bow hunting trip in the future.

@michaeldankert1962 4 года назад

My son just started shooting NASP Archery and has been struggling with instinctive archery. I have been shooting with him after shooting open freestyle with a compound bow for nearly 35 years. I was struggling with instinctive shooting as well and was getting bummed because I wasn't much help to him. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! After numerous videos and books I stumbled across this video. Hands down the best video on the subject I have ever saw!

Fantastic information, thank you. I picked up some great new things to implement into my training. Regarding your comment about slowing down, don’t shoot a dozen arrows at once. I shoot maybe four and then look at what I’ve done and digest it. Walk over and get those four and set up again.

@thormusique 5 лет назад

This is an amazingly informative film. Thanks so much for sharing! Not only have you answered pretty much all my questions, but you answered many I hadn't thought of. This is brilliant. And I really appreciate the time you've taken in laying all this out, because it is a huge amount of important information. And you've made it immensely comprehensible through your intelligent, articulate delivery. Amazing! I'm going to recommend this to all my friends.

@tommythompson5702 2 года назад

I shot three D and deer hunted for several years with a recurve. When my accuracy dropped off I took a course from a professional. The new system work great. A few years ago I just quit shooting all together. I just started back practicing for three D. The system I was using that the professional taught me seems to be getting me back on track. That said , this video was so well done, if my accuracy drops off again I will definitely give your system or try. It makes a lot more sense than pure gap shooting. I’m glad I stuck with it and watch the whole video.
