Two Mistakes Archery Shooters Make / How To Overcome Them! 

That recurve is absolutely gorgeous, what kind of bow is that as in what brand hunting bow? God has blessed you as a great teacher, thank you so much for the awesome tips.

You are so good, you should think about assembling a traditional bow shooting boot camp. I would make the drive and pay the dues.

If I lived in your neck of the woods I’d be at your house all the time🙂You have all the knowledge I’m looking for I look forward to your videos

The way you describe shooting is exactly how I shoot. I can't even explain the accuracy besides I just feel it and I focus..I shoot shortly after I draw as well.. I really love seeing someone who shoots truly extinctively like I do... I just had shoulder surgery and can't shoot right now so I'm bingewatching archery videos and am happy to have found your channel! I am a horse archer first so ground archery is new to me but I'm loving it.

Good luck this year in the deer woods. One problem I see (especially) new shooters have. They seem to ALWAYS drop their bow arm soon as they release the arrow.

You are right about when you aim too long you have more chance of issues. I started to develop the odd flinch aka target panic recently from aiming too long/trying too hard. I did a session this arv shooting like you and found way more consistency and no flinches!

Always spot on Jeff! Thanks for another good video!! I have noticed one thing myself, and that is with 9 years as an Instinctive shooter, I become a Gap shooter. And the more Gap shooting I do, the more I return to instinctive shooting, with a glimpse of Gap shooting without thinking about it, I do the Instinctive shooting more and more, but somewhere in the back in my head there is a small Gap shooting left. Its funny, but it works good. When I see you shoot, I do the same I press my bower forward before I grip the string, and this make me shoot much better.

I have a tip for those suffering from Target Panic. Get the bow up. And look at the spot and then shift your eyes to your arrow and watch the arrow draw back. Don’t look away. Watch the arrow being drawn back. Then.. after you reach anchor, shift your vision from the arrow to the target. Your already at full draw now and anchored. Then just stare at the spot n pull through to release. It’s best if you start up close then work back. This is not the full cure. But it will get you moving in the right direct to beat target panic. Then your comfortable getting to full draw. Then you can move to a clicker or feather to nose or whatever you use to trigger the shot. Hope this helps someone out there. God Bless.

Your content has helped me so much. Groups are really coming together. Greatly appreciate it Jeff. 👍🏻

God bless you, Jeff.

Jeff, another great video. For too long I was a short-drawing plucker, but thanks to some of your advice I'm finally getting out of the habit.

Thank you Jeff love the videos God bless

Another great information video 😊

Dead on for me I had these issues when I started and finally solved them. Just like you said,wished I saw this video a year ago def help

Plus you see through the shot, I remember you talking about that before. So many folks don't understand to see through the shot.

Great information here guy's and lady's!!!!

The one thing I love is the humility to never think you know it all. Great thing about archery is there is always more learning and always more practice to do........to achieve something that only the sky is the limit...........there is no end to it.....there is always better no matter how good you are. Its a personal goal. Your only competing against yourself.

very helpful

Great info!! Thanks Jeff!👍👍👍🙏

Hey guys. First year trad have a couple questions to help me get better groups. Should I lock my bow arm? I’m having trouble getting the arrow under my eye. Can I learn this style of shooting with a slight nock away from being under my eye? Jeff you have helped me very much by taking to you and watching your videos. Good luck to everyone!! I shot 6” over a doe this morning. At least I didn’t wound it! Now practice practice practice

Takes a lot of practice. I started at 10 yards with a 40 lb now. I’m 5 7 at 210. I could do 25 pull-ups at this weight. 10,000 arrows then to 12 yards 10,000 more 14 10000 more. Then started moving weight up. 65?lb bear super Kodiak is a hard pull. 30 good shoots then it degrades. 60 lb Samik sage is far easier. Good for 100 arrows.

At what point in your sequence do you establish alignment with your target? It would appear that it must be at the beginning or during your draw. For me, drawing changes my sight picture, so I must draw, then anchor while aligning (aiming), then focus on building back tension to release. This takes several seconds after anchor. Your shooting is amazing Jeff. Love your videos. God bless!

For me it’s shooting from 20 feet up during hunt season, but not being able to practice that shot consistently in preparation

Thank you 🙏🏼

Another awesome video.

What's the best way to anchor if you wear glasses?

That are super hard to go from compound to traditional, first bow that I got 45 lb recurve, I took it to the shop how to check the poundage, it felt like 80 lb it was spot-on 45, it is a tough transition

My dad is a life-long archer. He has worked with both compound and recurve bows and has recently discovered your RU-vid channel and would love to talk to you. He is not very good with technology, which is why I'm reaching out on his behalf. How could he contact you? Do you have a business email or anything?

Another great video!

Like your bow

Jeff, are using a Black Hunter recurve in this video?

Do use helical or offset fletching

One thing that helped me out tremendously with pinpoint accuracy was my actual grip on the string. If I hold up my three shooting fingers they are all different lengths. I would struggle with not only pinpoint accuracy but a sore third finger. It didn't matter if it was a basketball or an acorn on the target I'd be right around it. I started putting my three fingers ready to grab string and making sure all were at the same on edge putting string in first joint on all three and it put even pressure on all three instead of my third finger being last of string.......deep even hook....

interesting. won't work for i, not the style i practice but interesting none the less.

Hello I am shooting a 55 lb bow at 28 inch it is the bear super mag 48 inch recurve and I am trying to build a great arrow for penetration my draw length is 23 inches so 45 lbs what kind of spine should I use I want the arrows to be like 25 inches and I will be using 150 grain inserts with 100 grain broadhead

What bow is that it’s a beauty?

Would you consider your style "snap shooting"? I shoot fast like that as well but I also practice holding my draw for some time too, both still instinctive shooting. So in the field I can snap draw or hold for a while if need be. Do you ever hold your draw while shooting in case that situation comes up?

where do you sell the Instinctive addiction archery tshirts? Thanks Jeff

What is you riser and limb combo?

What is the speed of your arrows? I shoot homemade osage self bows that shoot maybe 150 fps. Your arrows appear to be much faster.

That is such good advice.

What’s the best thing you could do to stop dropping your bow arm????

Jeff adding a selway quiver to the bow do you have to retune the bow

I am opposite I tend to shoot , any suggestions?

Hi Jeff, can you help me find the right hunting arrow. I’m shooing a 60lb recurve at 28”. My draw length is 28” and I plan to shoot a 200 grain broadhead.

Thank you very much.

Jeff you are so spot on it is rediculous. I fight that tucking it in every fall and once I do that it absolutely lines everything up and keeps me from plucking or messing up the release. But it lines my vision up for the launch. However........I have to admit.....there is a tomohawk and a widow that have killed excessive critters hanging on the wall because my vapor shoots where I look without effort.......

So do you have any recommendations for a recurve shorter than 60 inches. I like the ones you talked about for 60 inches, but would like something 58 or 56.

i like your hunting bow! where can i find that set up?
