I know this is an old video but I was glad to see someone who actually shoots instinctive. A good description of an instinctive act is putting a fork full of food into you mouth. You never think about it,it just happens after many,many tries and you can't see your mouth. A baby will stick his spoon all over his face until he finally gets to where he can hit his mouth every time.You can't see your mouth so the only way to learn is doing it every day. People make videos and try to tell you how to shoot instinctive and they can't shoot instinctive themselves. You are the only person that I have heard that knows what to tell a person. When you said,"a lot of shots" That is correct it is the only way ,it can't be taught, just like the baby and his spoon you will finally learn to hit what you aim at! I no longer shoot due to personal problems but you sure remind of my youth! Thanks friend!
James you inspire us all. My mentor Stacy Groscup is looking down from Heaven smiling on you, because you’re kindly nice humble guy and you’re not big headed about your talents. THAT’S one big reason we all love ya!
Thankyou for sharing this I really appreciate it. I really liked how you explained and demonstrated what you do and I particularly liked the trick shots at the end especially the one picking up the bow from the ground ! :-)
Dave Ware not on an actual corse but I have shot clays before . Most of the sporting clay courses around where I live have too many trees around for arrows to get stuck in
Hello there! Wonder if you practice to throw a bottle with non nocked arrow? I know that must be hard(er) but I guess that will improve speed and the nock and draw style. I've seen you shooting flying objects twice , so my guess is that you are pretty quick and able to manage non nocked arrow shooting at thrown bottles.
James. You are a great instinctive archer, but all of your hunting videos that I have seen are with your compound bow. Do you hunt with your recurve or just use it for target practice?
Daniel Scott I do hunt sometimes with a recurve and I have shot quail with a recurve and Bowfishing as far as deer hunting I don't like to shoot a deer no farther than twenty five yards cause of arrow penetration and it is very difficult to have deer that close because of very little wind that's why I hunt with a compound cause most of the shots I take are between 30 and 60 yards
No offense but compound bows suck. Having owned a couple i sold them both and bought a guitar. I have been shooting traditional bare bows for 60+ years. With a horse bow, or long bow I shoot with either hand. Some of my recurves and long bows have 2 arrow shelves. I had a Ben Pearson back in the 60's that had two shelves so I learned to shoot with either hand.
