3D Archery 101 | SIMPLIFYING the sport! Bowhunter Class HOW TO!

[@patrickthompson389]

Two year old video, packed with more info and fundamentals of everything else since then combined. Great job, keep making great content. Subbed.

[@patb7723]

Just got into archery under a year ago my wife got me a compound bow and still learning the ropes but enjoying the sport , keep up the good shooting buddy

[@patb7723]

Even if you get a older compound bow if you invest a few hundred to upgrade the sight or add a stabilizer or kisser button , I've tryed new custom strings and have grown to love the 60x custom string and buss cable sets they actually make a good difference and it shots way better

[@Stonedog77]

Thanks for this. I’m just stepping into 3D on a more serious level after years of “three months a year” shooting for hunting season. Just invested in an exalt 35 and was looking for information about stabilizers for 3-D. This helped a lot.

[@themoosehillclimb8829]

Your videos are always incredibly well done and packed with very useful information presented in a way that even simple old fellas like myself can understand. Thank you for all that you do!

After watching your video I realized I had a great spot for 3D shooting just had to go out and clear some privet thanks for the inspiration

[@edgarsolorzano512]

You can really explain perfectly wow !

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Thank you for sharing this and going into the minutia of what IBO and ASA do for scoring. I never realized the trick of parallax and rocking back and forth or the look at ground trick. Same with framing the target with the binoculars depending upon average body size relative to distance. You did rather well here as well as judging that 49 yard shot at the Teach and Train event. I need to get out to some Archery 🏹 Club 3D events for fun and training. It’s been a few years. PS- I would have hit one of those two trees 🌳🎯🌳 that framed up that dot so great shot Nate. 🏹

bought a couple BigShot cubes for the public range here in South NJ (they have nice 20, 30, 40, 50 yard chest high Morrell bags in frames) but will have to check and see if I can use them other places... would be great getting out of the wind and shoot through trees once and a while.

@@joycedollar1198That is very rare. Some may disagree but the odds are very low to robin-hood an arrow. It takes a great amount of skill and a lot of luck unless you are a pro archer. Don’t believe the things others say to try and bring you down. Just have fun and enjoy the sport. 👍

[@rdb8509]

Piling on to the comment below, you got me back into bow hunting a couple yrs ago. In the 1970’s I shot a Bear laminated compound with a single cam and aluminum arrows. Anyway you have convinced me to try the EZ-V sight. Should arrive this week and looking fwd to trying it out. You would really like my bow tech here in Clayton Ga. He works for Reeves Ace Hardware in their outdoor sports center. Will is a bow nerd like you and a very skilled hunter. If you ever find yourself in NE GA, pls stop in and say hello to Will. He is about the same age as you.

[@frankspataro9714]

I range my targets by splitting the distance in half it's way easier to guess short distance and then double it and send it three or five yards don't mean much at thirty yards

[@timbow50]

When I shoot the 40 yard max hunting class and speed is close to 285 fps the 3 pins set up I use for gap is like 23/24 yards- 31-32 and bottom pin is 37 yards. Very very few target distances are on even numbers like 20 or 30 yards. Knowing your arrow drop trajectory is vital. It's not hard to remember two basic drop numbers between 32 down to 24 and 37 down to 32. This is for target score Archery not really for hunting as you will normally use heavier hunting arrows and the drop is more. All you need to do is find a speed where the drops are less than 5" because that's the basic diameter of the ASA 10 ring for score. If the target is at 27/28 yards, use the top pin set at 23/24 and hold to the top of the 10 ring. The arrow will fall down into the 10 score. For me this, for most shots keep my aiming point inside or on the 10 ring line. Those targets that are within a yard or two of their actual sheeting are the ones that you can try for the 12 ring on a lot easier.

[@capricornmagic63]

LOve the colour of that bow

[@TheBudgetSportsman]

Dude, what a knowledge drop. Now I really wanna go shoot some 3D

[@colingregory7464]

If you judging and you have a tendency to over or under on the guess you can set the tape or pins to your miss read average, to allow for your tendency, just make sure you switch back when you shoot marked, do they ever give you 2, 3, 4yd shots (they are dead easy instinctive, but the marks change very quick on a sight that close and its really annoying missing can't miss, poke it with a stick targets )

[@colingregory7464]

When I was shooting WELL ! Shooting 5 pin relative to a moving scope made no noticeable difference to my score relative to the scope sight shooters, when I shot well I was with them and if I didn't shoot well I mostly got my arrows back ! My major reason for liking pins was lack of hassle, guess distance, then shoot, no sight fiddling (have had a tendency to forget to move sight !), always loved 5 pin for IFAA marked

[@colingregory7464]

I would suggest that you try to remember that if you are struggling on a course there is a decent chance that other people are also struggling, different courses can push the scores of almost everyone on the course up or down. Chasing a score based on being up or down on a score level for the field that you probably have no certainty of, will often not go well. Telling yourself that you will/might hit a tree is a really good way to promote the possibility in your head and push you into the tree. Look at the tree and assess the risk move if you need to and as much as you are allowed to, to minimize the risk, having decided on your shot "strategy" and position. Forget the tree and shoot the target and your spot. Sometimes you shoot the tree, hopefully you aren't using x10's. I don't like breaking arrows ! But at least cheaper arrows cost less !

[@colingregory7464]

The multiple arrows was the reason I have always loved shooting IFAA when I could ! Exercise and shooting and company !!! Fun video, thanks

[@colingregory7464]

I have always loved the relative simplicity of 5 pin, for me I shoot with the scopes, everything is unmarked here (pretty much), most of the comps here have no distance limit (have shot beyond 100), for me judging it makes almost no difference with pins or moving, for the most part the judging mitigates a great deal of the benefit of perfect/accurate sight marks, when I shoot well I am competitive with the scopes and when I shoot poorly I mostly get my arrows back !! I've always loved field spots with multiple arrows for a group on the spot, especially when there are ups and downs to add interest and challenge

[@stevecrader3479]

Great vid and good practice setup people can do with a single target! Just like you started saying,we’ve got a couple of ASA pros at our club and 1 told me “ make no mistake, every pro is just trying to get a 10 on their first shot, calms the nerves.” Maybe someday your schedule would let you make a ProAm, I think you’d enjoy the experience and your vid would be super.

[@NPC-fl3gq]

Hi mom (From Australia!!)

[@JacobSchmittDeerHuntingSchool]

Good video!!! I’m fixing to start shooting 3d shoots. I’ve always wanted to I just never have. I wish I would have started shooting them back when I could actually see. LOL!!! I do have good contact lenses though.

[@timbow50]

Jacob, the various rules for IBO or ASA can be found on the internet. ASA has many classes that allow scope lens and clarifiers in the peep. It's basically trial and error but you should be able to find a combination that will give you a clear pin AND target. Try to find a shop ( not likeCabelas etc) that has these products to try. It is pricey to order the various parts only to find they aren't right for your vision factors. There IS NO standard one fits all. It can be aa pain to get it all correct but it is well worth it- you can seetargets clearly

[@chrisroman5631]

Would love to see how you set up your sight i just had set up cbe engage hybrid 3 pin also on my elite impulse 34 . 27 inch draw length. Seemed that I had to move my scope housing 2 spots to the left was wondering if you had too also

[@mikesimmons1012]

Great video! I'm looking to get into 3D next season. Great idea the way you are doing g mock practice. I will be doing this. Question, what power binos are you using? I'm trying to decide between 8x42 and 10x42 for both 3D and general hunting.

[@averagejackarchery]

I have 10x42. Seem to be the best blend of everything for me.

[@sahhull]

I'd love to have a go at that, but here in the UK.. Bow hunting is illegal and 3d (bow hunter) archery just isnt that popular. However in the airgun target scene... I used to shoot Field target... That is targets are at unknown ranges between 5 and 55 yards... The targets are knock down style targets with an active 1 inch kill zone... 1 point for a knock down 0 for hitting steel or a miss. You can use adjustable high mag scopes with parallax adjustment to range the target. As an alternative cheaper form to this there is hunter field target.. Targets are still unknown but rifle scopes are non adjustable, non range finding It is scored 2 points for a knock down, 1 point for hitting steel, 0 for a miss. The targets are generally steel silhouette's of typical airgun quarry.... Rabbits, rats, pigeons... Tho to keep the PC brigade happy they are starting to use generic shapes :-/

Cool vid now I shoot the Hoyt ventom does that mean I can still shoot a 12 inch but get the benefits of a 15 or 16 inch?? Due to ware the stabilizer mounts?

[@j.r.outdoors247]

Nate, have you ever shot TAC? Do you ever or regularly shoot at longer distances70-80+ yards?

[@averagejackarchery]

I do not shoot at those distances, no. As sacreligious as it sounds, I think shooting out there at 70+ is an enormous waste of one's time if they can't hold a sub 2" group at 20-30-40. Aka normal hunting ranges.

[@brnksr98]

Can I use 100 grain broad heads for deer hunting or do you prefer 125? Is there a significant difference?

[@averagejackarchery]

Just a weight preference. Either is fine!

[@ShockingTips]

Quick question. I recently got into compound archery and bought a budget bow. Im assuming it doesn't have the best string because after putting about 250 shots in at 60lb, my peep sight rotated. Im aware that's a sign of string stretch. However, can string stretch also throw off cam timing? (My bow has a duel cam system)

[@averagejackarchery]

Oh sure it can. I recommend vfoing my $30 draw board build and be able to check timing yourself!

[@youtoober87]

Can you comment on your target and/or review some good home targets? I'm new to archery, bought a "classic block", and I've destroyed the thing in only a few months. My fletching is going into the target because the arrow goes so deep now.

[@averagejackarchery]

I shoot Morrell targets because, well, like you, I was tired of crap BLOCK and other such targets. The High Roller XL is the cream of the crop for both field points and broadheads. My all around beaters though are the Supreme 3 and the YJ450. (Both field points only.) The YJ450 especially is an absolute tank and has take thousands of arrows with almost no significant wear.

[@joepatout6818]

Shooting with glasses…anything different? Any advantage? Last time I tried everything felt off.

[@averagejackarchery]

Oh it took me WEEKS to fully adjust. Still feels weird from time to time. If my eyes would handle contacts better I'd use them. BUT I'll take my glasses over verifiers and other lenses anyday. Easier to use and clean my glasses than those little things.

[@BucketList-zk5me]

In IBO don't the stabilizers need to be less than 12" and be connected at a single point? I see your setup has the side bar connected to the back of the riser. I just printed the rules off a few days ago and I'm trying to make sense of it all.

[@averagejackarchery]

Yes! You are correct. I haven't shot any sanctioned IBO events this year so I haven't balanced my bow that way yet. 12" from a SINGLE point of contact with the riser, In a 12" theoretical sphere from that point of contact.

Is that cbe engage hybrid legal in ibo? since it is adjustable.

[@averagejackarchery]

The rule is your can't touch the sight once you enter the course. You can technically do the whole thing with a single pin and "gap shoot" the entirety. But it's just not practical.

There is (at least where I shoot) the possibility to shoot non competitive / out of score. So you can basicly shoot like you want to (within limits of course) but you will not get listed and can't win any trophy.
