In this video you'll hear about some quick, basic archery tips that can help both beginners and "experts" just as they help Phil and Riley be more accurate and consistent as they shoot whether for fun and target practice or during the hunt. Riley starts with his tips and his brand new Mathews Traverse bow walking you through 3 things that work for him. Phil follows by talking about anchor points, grip and over drawing. We both put plenty of arrows (both field point and broad heads) into our Block Targets and it pays off when the season comes around. We don't claim to be experts but we hope our simple basic tips can help you improve as well.

Thank you! I keep thinking that after five years of shooting, I should be in the habit of following through. But I too have to remind myself every shot.

@willroeder6462 8 месяцев назад

Lots of good tips. That being said...it's a bit hard to take advice from someone drawing across their chest.

@WeekendWoodsmen 8 месяцев назад

This is one of the top comments we get and I have shot in league for years and watched many great shooters draw across their chest. What is the actual problem with drawing across the chest versus higher? From my perspective, the lower you draw it the more the larger muscles in your back can engage, the higher it is the more stress on your shoulder/smaller muscles which leads to less smooth draws and more struggle. I have tried drawing higher and I consistently shoot better when I come into my anchor points from below.

@clintskeens 4 месяца назад

From experience when you draw across the chest it's because your drawing to much weight, for me when I draw with my elbow up I can get to my anchor alot quicker and I'm on target faster as well and in a hunting situation it's a lot less movement.

@tjmurray1132 10 месяцев назад

Big tip helped me is dont draw across chest beother elbow up almost roll you shoulder it makes back back muscles engage can hold longer less wear and tear of shoulders etc

@WeekendWoodsmen 10 месяцев назад

Interesting, it hurts my shoulder more when I keep it up, I always feel like my large back muscles engage better with the bow lower. I will even try to lower the bow a bit if I get stuck full draw on stand to be able to hold longer

@lllVERDUGOlll Год назад

Nice tips but, do you had any problems with the long beard? Mine is a bit longer and i have years without shooting, any advice please? I dont want it gone

@WeekendWoodsmen Год назад

thanks for the comment - the beard is usually no problem. Sometimes the string will snag a hair and yank it out but not often enough to worry about!

@jasonito1723 2 года назад

@WeekendWoodsmen 2 года назад

@stygs6 4 месяца назад

what lbs are you pulling back? i heard pulling your bow back like this is going to give you some serious shoulder issues

@WeekendWoodsmen 4 месяца назад

70lbs. Not sure how, when you draw lower you engage the larger muscles in your back and you aren’t using your shoulder as much. Just like if you are at full draw and you need to hold for a long time you can hold longer if you lower the bow

@naturalgamerjk606 2 года назад

Hey I was just wondering if you could help me out, I bought a new bow and at 20 feet it’s dead on split an arrow accurate, I go back 10 more feet it’s still accurate then I go to 20 yards and it never hits the same spot it’s either high or low and I’ve tried everything, I don’t know if it’s my release or my bow is just messed up

@WeekendWoodsmen 2 года назад

It could be something in your mechanics or tuning. The further back you move the more mechanics and tuning issues become obvious. Are you brand new to bow shooting? How much high or low are you missing by? Understanding those first will help. However regardless I would start with paper tuning if you haven’t already and then either bare shaft tune or broadheads tune. Reminder to ALWAYS shoot your hunting broadheads and setup before hitting the field.

@naturalgamerjk606 2 года назад

@@WeekendWoodsmen I’m brand new to bow shooting, I’ve watched so many tips videos and I’m not sure if it’s just me being a bad shot but sometimes I’ll hit bullseye and sometimes I’ll hit high right or low right it’s never consistent with what happens, I keep 3 anchor points at all times and it’s still changing most times I shoot

@WeekendWoodsmen 2 года назад

How much high, low, left, right are you missing by?

@naturalgamerjk606 2 года назад

@@WeekendWoodsmen it’s usually 4 inches high and to the right or just a little low like 2 inches

@WeekendWoodsmen 2 года назад

I think for being a brand new bow shooter you are being too hard on yourself 🙂 Focus your eyes on the target, do NOT look at the pin, keep both eyes open and concentrate on executing the shot. Over time you should be able to bring your groups tighter. Was your bow paper tuned by yourself or the shop when you bought it?

@remingtonsmith734 3 года назад

At kinda early the way you draw that bow I was screaming no no no pls

@WeekendWoodsmen 3 года назад

A few people commented on that. What’s the problem with drawing low? It engages the larger muscles in your back and puts less strain on your shoulder muscles.

@remingtonsmith734 3 года назад

@@WeekendWoodsmen it makes it shredder to pull back and a lot more effort if your have your shoulder higher it’s easier but if you like pulling your bow like that it’s completely fine tk

@remingtonsmith734 3 года назад

Only thing that matters is if you kill the deer with it

@WeekendWoodsmen 3 года назад

Gotcha, when I received some of those comments I tried pulling back higher, but it was definitely harder (not way harder) but I found it easier to find my anchor point coming up from under my chin rather than straight back. I think it’s just what I am so used to now 🤷🏻‍♂️

@WeekendWoodsmen 3 года назад

💯 thanks for the comment!

@paullarosa11 2 года назад

You draw the bow back incorrectly I'm 58 years old if I drew the bow back like you do my shoulder would be blown out by now. For the health of your shoulder you should learn how to draw the bow with your elbow up take some lessons my friend it'll save your shoulder

@WeekendWoodsmen 2 года назад

I played baseball for years so my shoulder is already crap 🤣. I have heard similar feedback and tried doing that and it made my shoulder feel worse. To me lowering your elbow actually disengages your shoulder and engages the large muscles in your back like an upright row. I appreciate the comment and looking out for my shoulder I plan to keep trying because it gets me to my anchor points sooner.

@shawnsmith5204 Год назад

@micahdunleavy9227 9 месяцев назад

Hard to take someone serious who doesn’t know how to draw a bow..

@WeekendWoodsmen 9 месяцев назад

The bow gets back and gets anchored, don’t really care how it gets back there. Some of the best shooters I know draw low and come up. Never really understood why you would want to draw the bow up high across your face using mostly your smaller shoulder muscles when you can control the slow draw much better by being lower and using the larger muscles of your back and then bringing it into place, especially when you have bad shoulders, that’s a lot of stress on those muscles.
