Beginner Archery Tips for Better Accuracy

[@ber2chee]

I find these guidance videos incredibly easy to follow and understand - there are some "hint and tips" videos out there that are made up of rambling noise, whereas these are simple, to-the-point and have good content - keep it up, old bean!

[@seansoutdoors]

It is not good to wish or rejoice in harm to any person. God loves every person, including hunters who are helping to keep ecosystems balanced and healthy seeing as high populations of herbivores can actually destroy ecosystems and ruin crucial habitat needed by other species to survive.

[@andyreisch6755]

Your God doesn't seem to worry about animals then?

[@seansoutdoors]

It's not that the Almighty Creator doesn't care about animals. He just cares more about our salvation from sin and he'll, and He will allow the slaughter of animals if that will help us be saved. The point is, God cares more about people and their salvation than animals, and it sounds to me, based on your comment, that you have that important detail backwards. God bless you.

You are now my bow sensei. I've pretty much quit watching other bow training videos since I've found your channel. Your methodical and no nonsense is refreshing. I do have a question oh great bow master. What is a good wrist style release? I bought a trufire x caliper II and I really dont care for it. It's not smooth at all no matter how I adjust the release pressure. I'd like something 50 dollars or under but decent. I know releases can cost as much as bows but I cant afford a high dollar release. I'd really like 1 that closes automatically as mine now you have to manually click closed and I don't like that it seems like another place to fail. Thanks for taking your time to make these awesome videos. God bless

[@seansoutdoors]

I've had pretty good luck with TRU Ball releases. I've been using the Short n Sweet for the past five years but that one costs a little more like $75 but I've used less expensive models by TRU Ball for many years that seemed good, solid, and smooth.

[@seabass22]

I bought a bow 4 years ago. Just brought it in to be tuned, because I haven’t shot much, and they had it all out of whack. I had so much trouble drawing it, because my draw length was too long, pieces were loose, out of alignment, etc. It’s no wonder I had so much trouble and got discouraged. Not to mention they never showed me how to anchor, posture, form, technique, etc. Glad that store closed a couple years later. You could walk in there and stand and the owner and employees would ignore you for like 10 minutes of you standing there, until finally they got annoyed and would ask if you need something. Lmao. When they finally closed, and were selling everything off as fast as they could, it was pretty ironic. If they had that attitude, before they were closing, they would probably still be in business. The new shop, and owner is super helpful, corrected my form, showed me a bunch of stuff, explained what he was doing to my bow, what they had screwed up, why he was changing it, etc. Apparently people drive from all over the state to see him, and now he’s setup shop in our town, so we’re blessed! Keep making videos, because a lot of people don’t have access to anyone that knows what they’re doing. Even if they are “trained professionals.”

[@seansoutdoors]

You're welcome

[@4dailyrunner]

Do you have any suggestions for shooting adjustments needed for winter clothing and gloves? Thanks!!!

[@seansoutdoors]

You have to practice with all of those clothes on and see where you are hitting. Having a heavy glove actually does the equivalent of shortening your draw length because the bow handle is now farther from your face than it would be without the glove. The good this is that this allows you to slightly bend your elbow so that the bow comes closer to your face and you can still achieve your same normal anchor point. Having the slightly bent elbow helps to keep your clothes away from the string when you are shooting. Also, make sure you wear an arm guard to help keep your clothes out of the path of the string when you are shooting.

[@averagejackarchery]

I notice your QAD doesn't have the containment arm. Was this a deliberate removal or accidental? :)

[@averagejackarchery]

The reason I asked mostly is because I do the exact same thing! The thing always gets in the way and, let's be honest, if have an arrow nocked onto my string, I'm not tilting my bow upside down anytime soon! I always thought I was a little crazy and my rest looked "weird," but if Sean McVeigh does it then I guess I'm not so odd after all. :) Thanks so much for responding!

[@jeffw6692]

Hey Sean, have you ever used the portable bow vices? The ones that are around 30 or 40 bucks and can be put into a backpack. With this whole virus thing, it’s just not feasible to drive to the nearest pro shop to get my bow worked on, I need to replace or fix my peep sight. I can order one of those and have it shipped to my door, I just don’t know if they work good enough to do the task.

[@seansoutdoors]

I did use the bowmaster, like this one amzn.to/2KdxnwU but mine has the hooks for on the end like this one does amzn.to/34TmpX3 I used mine for many years, and I also take it with me on long distance hunts in case of an emergency. I will be honest though and that it makes me very nervous every time I use it. I get it off the bow as quick as possible after the work is done to try to minimize something going wrong. It will get you by, but it isn't the best. I saved up my money for a few years and then got a professional bow press.

[@jeffw6692]

[@brianwynn7935]

just a little secret about shooting, no one ever covers this in tips on shooting. every single time I shoot my bow, rifle, or pistol there is one thing in common with all the shots. I let it surprise me when it fires. I don't want to know when it's going to fire. that allows you to flinch. if it surprises you, then the arrow/ bullet will be long gone before you can mess the shot up. squeeze slowly and never just your finger. I squeeze my whole hand slow and promise I can shoot with the best.

[@brianwynn7935]

I shoot back tension and the wrist wrapped trigger release. I shoot back tension when I shoot target with friends but the wrist wrap is for hunting. the biggest thing though is I always want the bow to surprise me when I shoot to eliminate "pulling" or flinching prior to the arrow leaving the bow. great video!! I just wanted to add that one thing that improved my shooting capability.

[@SoManyBasses]

You had me until “squeeze the whole hand “ and “I Shoot the best”.

[@HandyRandyReviews]

I've watched some of your videos and I've learned A few things! I have a question and thought maybe you could help. So on my target I have a bottom bullseye a middle bullseye and a top. I can shoot the bottom one just fine with accuracy but if I go up for some reason I just can't get accurate shots when I lift the bow to shoot a higher bullseye is it maybe because my bow isn't set up right or my release is too short? I'm shooting a compound bow. Or how could I fix my technique?

[@seansoutdoors]

Most likely, when you lift your arm you are doing things differently. You could be altering your way of aiming by a slight bit that you are not even realizing, or you could be having other muscle memory problems. One thing you could try is aim at the bottom target, and rather than lift your arm, keep everything exactly the same and pivot at your hips. so your upper body is locked with your arm that holds the bow and the way you are anchoring, then pivot up at the waist, then aim and shoot from that position. It may feel a little awkward for you at first because you are not used to doing that, but if you start hitting better then it is an indication that when you lift your arm for aiming you are making changes in your anchoring and aiming that you previously didn't realize. Good luck and God bless.

[@darkorse9752]

I recently went to archery training, and the bow instructor told me not to raise my shoulder when pulling back for an aim. But you have your arm raised above your shoulder. Can you talk a little about that?

[@seansoutdoors]

Most competition archers start with the bow raised above the target and then draw down to the target. If you watch competitions on line you may notice this. I'm not sure why your instructor said that, but were you shooting a recurve as opposed to compound? If so, many people in the past who hunted used to draw the recurve as they raised it up to their face to minimize movement. God bless you.

[@darkorse9752]

So you're saying that your draw back arm can be positioned in any way that feels accurate to you, as long as the anchor is to the side of your lip?

[@seansoutdoors]

The key is consistent anchor, and it doesn't have to be at the side of your lip, it can be wherever is comfortable for you and where you are able to repeat it with precision.

[@torrodash709]

my instructor says that if you raise your shoulder when pulling back for an aim, the arrow will not be accurate

[@seansoutdoors]

Are you shooting recurve instinctively as opposed to compound, because there are things with instinctive recurve that actually don't apply to compound. If not shooting instinctive recurve, than it doesn't actually matter if you raise your shoulder while drawing. What matters is that your shoulder ends up in the same exact spot by the time you shoot. Archery is largely about repeatability - doing the same exact thing every time.

I bought my first new bow and expecting it today or tomorrow! I bought the bear paradox.. but not the HC, if I had known the difference though i would have gotten the HC.. but kinda to late. I was wondering, if you could say if it's possible to change it to a double cam later?

[@seansoutdoors]

You would need to get the cams and strings and cables and it would probably work if the brace height is the same

[@rw9347]

I can't seem to stay accurate with my groups. I might get 4 in a tight group then a total miss. I might get one center then the rest spread out. Iv tried almost everything I been learning . its really starting to get fraustrating. I'm praying for patience and trying to stay in the game

[@seansoutdoors]

Welcome to the world of archery! Also check to see if it’s the same arrow that’s off. Mark it with a marker. Maybe something is wrong with it

[@privateparker5698]

I have been having the same problem. It is annoy.

[@lakerdigital]

Same problem here, I have been using cheap arrows, $30 for 6 arrows. I've numbered each arrow and found that certain ones do not shoot true. My next step is to buy better arrows.

Sometimes it is fatigue from trying to shoot too many arrows too fast and you start dropping your arm to early...found myself doing the same, so I slowed down...took a little time between shots..seemed to help alot...good luck..be patient, it's a lifetime sport/hobby!

[@enzohenriot4642]

Dear Sean. Hope you are well. I've been recurving a while... and not getting back to compound preparing a 3D shoot. Regarding basics: Are the bow arm shoulder (or upper part of the arm) be kept rigid while shooting compound? I do keep the lower part relaxed but a bit confused on the upper part... Thanks in advance.

[@seansoutdoors]

I stand in the same posture each time, and I relax that shoulder while shooting.

I was wondering what the purpose of all the nock points were towards the end of your serving and or directly on the string on this bow in your video? Does that help minimize or dampen sound?

[@strikerone6991]

That's right,that and it also supposedly reduces vibration according to him

speeds up the arrow and quiets the string

good night friend i have some doubts about archery but here in Brazil some answers are complicated so here we go , i have a mathews halon 32 to 3 years old i have never changed the ropes but always after using the lubricating wax as indicated by the manufacturer and the rope is in perfect condition the question is how old can i use a bowstring the zebra says that 2 years should be replaced but i have friends who use bows 5 years old with the same string what your opinion about it thanks for your attention hug me now I subscribed to your channel

[@seansoutdoors]

If you take care of them as you say you do, and there is no sign of the string fraying or strands breaking then you might be okay to keep using it. Two years is a general guideline and it may be related to the fact that not everyone takes good care of the string. God bless you.

Hey Sean I have a question. When I was out bowhunting last year in a blind, I tried using my range finder on a deer outside of the blind. I had that thin layer of mush on the windows of ur blind which didn't allow my range finder to range the deer. Do u have any recommendations on rangefinders that can range threw mush on blind and thick brush?

[@seansoutdoors]

I don't have a specific model in mind that allows you to range through solids. They typically utilize technologies that bounce signals off of objects and come back to the unit to identify the distance of that object. What you may want to do is open that window right when you set up and range a few objects and keep them as reference points and then put the window back up.

[@seankosak2113]

Hi Teddy, i have the same problem when blind hunting. I use my scent covers as distance markers before entering the blind. Even when treestand hunting i do the same, it also helps you tell how the wind is blowing if they are hanging on the end of branches. Good luck, god bless.

[@tammylovescats]

I have a question for you. Where I got my bow and took lessons the guy was having me hike my left shoulder up instead of keeping it relaxed. Is that true or false. But when I saw your video you were all nice and relaxed.

[@seansoutdoors]

I've never heard of that before. I guess the key is to be able to hold steady on the target. God bless ya

[@HVACRat]

Shoulder down Tammy. Allowing the bow shoulder to creep up is bad, it involves muscles unnecessarily and it can't be repeated consistently from shot to shot. Nice and relaxed (stacking bones) is the best way to gain consistency and repeatability in the shot.

Wind can impact your ability to hold steady in the target and it can move the arrow in flight.

I've had my PSE Stinger about two weeks now. I've spent about 10 hours at the range in those two weeks. My sight, rest and anchor point feel correct. The peep sight was enlarged and adjusted. I can consistently hit inside the blue at 20 yards with more than 50% in the red and yellow. My problem is my shots are still not consistent (scattered) or hitting center. I might hit the center once every four shots. I am now focusing on my form and releases. I notice I hit best when I concentrate on keeping both eyes open and the keeping sight on the target through the release. Seems I am circling the bullseye and releasing off center?

Because if you unintentionally let go it results in a dry fire.

[@shanehartley484]

I have heard of not dry firing a bow but that's the first time I heard don't draw without an arrow. I was showing a bow I had recently bought to this chick and drew back without an arrow and I am assuming the sting broke, it was like a gun shot going off. I couldn't believe the force released and it was literally equivalent to a large rifle being fired exccept the force was relesased in all directions. In hindsight probably should have left the bow in its case that night. LOLThere was a little wear on the string but I could see it was getting worse with minimal use and wasn't going to fire it agian until I researched if it should be waxed. I think the previous owner had dry fired it and the string had been damaged. I was covered in shredded string after and I felt lucky that I had not been injured. I'm right handed and left eye dominant. What way should I shoot. A properly tuned bow is as easy to shoot as a gun.I think your correct in that they the tune of the bow is usually the first problem not the shooter.There is no common sense. There's other instructional videos where the guy fires the arrow accidentally while drawing then missed the target on the next shot. I think accuracy, tuning and technique has been replaced with power. You can be off a foot and the arrow can be almost sideways but the bows are so powerful now they would still kill a deer. They are easily as powerfull as a medium size rifle under a hundred yards. The lowest end compound bow they sell as a toy could easily kill anything smaller than a deer when shot properly. Giving that to a kid to shoot out in the yard to play unsupervsed is crazy. If pit lamping is illegal. Shooting from a boat is illegal. Hunting at night is illegal. Where is it legal to shoot fish at night with spot lights . Looks like great fun but I have a feeling it would end with a swat team showing up agian. LOL.
