I’ve always wanted to learn Archery 😭

[@TVTara]

You have to try at least once!

[@infopasteaustraliacom]

You need to buy one at least mines coming next week!

[@johnb.3404]

Same!

[@infopasteaustraliacom]

John B. You should try buying one bow and arrow!

[@johnb.3404]

@@infopasteaustraliacom I don't have any spare money😂

[@sputxx]

I tried archery as a teenager in the 80's and never became proficient because I was doing so many things wrong. thanks to your video and a few others it's all lining up now. many take social media for granted now but im very grateful for all the knowledge we now have access to.

[@TVTara]

So glad it helped you a bit. Yes, you can find everything on KZbin now, it’s amazing!

[@beecat9038]

I want to do archery :(

[@boscolgz9622]

Buy a cheap one off Ali Express i brought one off there it was only $60

[@seraphine_heart]

Look for Geologic. They have some starter kits at like $40 or even less

[@emoboilandon6226]

Bee same 🏹 my parents refuse to let me every time u ask 😒

[@jemberbizuneh7998]

[@ROTCgoth2be453]

Etsy has some good starter bows

[@casspurrwaspurr4716]

I want to start taking archery lessons. I hope if I do, my instructor is like her. She seems very friendly and patient.

[@TVTara]

Yes she was nice

[@Valentina-be6bl]

My instructor was so lame 😒

[@sweetlikechocolate437]

Tara, you're a fast learner. You burst that balloon. Great vid!

[@TVTara]

+Marie Libby Ryan Thanks! Yeah that was fun!

[@lexthemisfit1163]

So I’m currently on vacation in the Bahamas. We are at the archery station and I had not hit the target yet. I pulled up this video and immediately hit the blue area of the target after watching. Awesome job teaching technique

[@reverseflash3421]

She forgot to say: *You have failed this city!*

[@TVTara]

Haha you have failed this city!

[@MrClemmo13]

I did my first lesson today at an Actually club. Really enjoyed it

[@TVTara]

Awesome!

[@magslinenbroker4407]

I’ve done archery once at my camp and now I’m obsessed

[@TVTara]

Aw lucky you!

[@andyjame1971]

Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine kzbin.infoUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

[@rjampiolo32]

When i started i too was aiming a little high, coaches catch that pretty quick and have to get you to aim lower (recurve)

[@TVTara]

So happy I found your channel :3 I'm a 14 year old girl and I love archery I also seen your other videos on cars and I really I'm getting into cars since I really love trucks and I'm glad I can watch your videos about cars so I can learn more about them and other learning videos on fun actives :) kudos to you

[@TVTara]

+Lαιѕιє ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Thank you! :)

[@imdansullivan]

i miss hearing you say, "Hi everyone, I'm Tara! This is my 2007 BMW 335i hard top convertible" :( every time you do a video on your car it's those exact words

[@TVTara]

+Dan Sullivan Hahaha! That's the easiest part of my car videos to film!

[@moniquet8805]

This video is very helpful! as a beginner who knows nothing, I like this.

Thanks!

[@jamescooper2618]

Looking good! I hope you keep up with archery, It's a lot of fun!

[@TVTara]

+James Cooper I'll definitely do it again but probably not regularly. It is very fun though!

[@CaviarRecon]

Great beginner guide i found at youtube! Thanks to Tara to answer everyone questions... easy to understand

[@TVTara]

Thanks!

[@dustinrichardson1113]

I’m agreeing with the people. It is key to say you have failed this city! And you must have a green hood

[@justsomeguywithoutalife230]

I finally got a bow but then realized my backyard is too small

[@SnuggleBear1970]

Excellent video. A great way to pass the time during Covid.

[@TVTara]

Yes!

[@peteb1854]

Fun, isn't it? A full hunting recurve will have your back muscles aching like crazy until you get used to it. Give it a go. Good for your core muscles too. There's that really basic satisfaction in bow shooting like skipping stones on water or bowling a good ball at the lanes. It's all eye/hand and instinct with bows...at least until you get into peep sites and more. Great video. I really enjoyed it though, watching somebody shooting goofy made me want to turn around all the time!

[@TVTara]

Yes, it's so fun!

[@aidantubemix3266]

pete b bruh just stop correcting I bet by your name Pete b that you suck at bow and arrow,Make a vid about you trying I bet you I’m better.Have a nice day or night whichever one

[@hana2807]

hey, i just bought my arrows and bow..i can pull it but the problem is my right arm.my arm is kinda weak and i cant point it straight..do u know how to strength it?

[@lariayuyam7393]

Great video on educating, but I wonder which hand you hold it in if you can’t tell which eye is more dominant 🤔

[@samanthatorres6749]

I love archery

[@Medjayy]

Howz the trainer Figured her dominant eye

[@TVTara]

+Jayavishnu make a small triangle with your fingers and hold out your arms straight. Look at the other person in front of you. You will close one eye and the other eye that you use to look through the triangle is your dominant eye.

[@tanishawilliams9237]

Is that a synth version of "lady picture show" by STP? Regardless, I learnt something so thank you very much

did u saw BTS shoot and realised u wanna try it urself ? XD

Liudgarda no I actually wanted to try it since I was still 11 but when I saw bts did it I was like "This looks fun" so I tried and I showed off saying that "guess I'm the younger female version of jungkook" I got the hang of it on my first to third try XDDDD

[@jeonginsbiggeststan7954]

For everybody who wants to do archery it’s not hard it does take a long of strength my bow is at 20 pounds that doesn’t seem like a lot to you but it’s a genius I only goes up to 20 but you have to make sure you know what eye dominet you are before you get a bow

[@doesnotexist0_0]

I also want to learn archery

[@ronthunders6124]

This looks soo fun! I wanna learn so bad! Hahah, but why were you aiming so high at first. Its actually unbelievable that you thought aiming that high was in sight of the target 🤔

[@TVTara]

Haha, I don’t know!

[@MrJustbrowsing12345]

How do you stop the arrow from falling sideways when your drawing the bow?

Awesome, thanks!

I am thinking about taking a lesson; just something to try. I went to KZbin and did a search and found your video and just clicked on it. Ironically I am just now noticing that your lesson is at a place I recently found in my Google search and I'm considering contacting them for a lesson.

[@TVTara]

+Ontario Andrews Give it a try! It's fun and something different! Nice people there with tons of experience!

[@OntarioAndrews415]

Thanks. I am going to email them today/Friday. Cheers!

[@alaahussain9677]

Where do you recommend to buy the equipment for archery?

[@prepthyme]

Did you set her up LEFT because she is left eye dominant or LEFT handed. (I'm also left eye dom but right handed).

[@TVTara]

Left eye dominant. I’m right handed.

[@allysanchez5630]

Nice

[@Good-kf4tf]

I am glad I found another person who is left eye dominant I took a archery course at sleep away camp and I was the only one left eye dominant and everyone was facing one way while I was facing the other and then the teacher tried to give a demonstration and then she did it as if er left eye was dominant even though hers was right and she missed the target.

[@TVTara]

That’s so weird!

[@SF-yh2ot]

Are you right-handed or left-handed?

[@TVTara]

+Angel Locsin Right handed but was left eye dominant which surprised me!

[@lukasrohulan6997]

@@TVTara why did she make you shoot left handed then?

[@christianprogrammer9131]

@@lukasrohulan6997 EXACTLY MY POINT

[@angryliz]

Because her left eye have more focus than the right one

[@jrs4516]

@@lukasrohulan6997 the reason is pretty simple. if she shot right handed, she wouldn't be able to get her dominant left eye over the arrow which would impede aiming. it's hard to visualize if you've never drawn a bow before but it's quite obvious the first time you try it.

[@911Porsche..]

good !

[@nikosaek5842]

The thing about compound bows is not right the system helps you hold less weight at the end but it's actually more difficult to draw it back because it has all the poundage from the beginning and doest built the power up gradually like recurve longbows an all the other bows

[@TVTara]

Oh ok, thanks

[@robsarchery9679]

nice

[@chino24black54]

Im wondering after you take out the arrow and put it on the string. How do u make it stay on the string and release the bow at the same time???

[@philipgreer7273]

Some bows have a thing on the sting that the arrow clips on to and when you pull back to fire it automatically let's go and stufff

[@sanskritidixit1346]

What is the price of recurve bow ? And which company is best .,,, Please suggest me

[@AlbynoRhyno]

Don't forget to slightly bend your elbow so it doesn't get hit by the string.

[@TVTara]

Ok thanks!

[@thanossyro1844]

Look how she always aim higher.. A previous video i saw that's what instructor said. "Beginners tend to do that always!" xD

[@kenchappak427]

With what material this bow is made up of

[@chemicalwonderland2492]

I keep hitting the inside of my elbow with the string, giving me huge welts and bruises. I dunno what I'm doing wrong, no video I watch even mentions that

[@michaelmurphy6434]

You just put the arrow on the string and didn't mention the single color goes out towards you, away from the bow body? Is that true?

[@dasarisanthoshidasari8263]

I like archer game i love archer game

[@nadiaisghost]

i have rlly good aim and i wanna try this so bad

[@johnphillips5957]

You should bend your right elbow slightly, stops the string hitting your forearm and allows it to travel on a straighter path making your shots even more accurate.

[@TVTara]

Ah ok thanks.

[@bettertobendthantobreak2983]

nice it works!!! I am right eye dominato. I have a similar bow too. wow. but my arrow rest is broken :( so my arrows dont fly strait...

[@TVTara]

+Better to bend than to break Ah cool that you have your own!

[@bettertobendthantobreak2983]

TVTara thx. how come is your left eye dominanto btw. Are you lefty?

[@TVTara]

+Better to bend than to break Nope! Apparently some righties are left eye dominant! I was shocked!

[@computerblue01]

Awesome job! So is hunting next on the list of things to do? lol

[@TVTara]

+computerblue01 Hmm, I don't know. I would enjoy the challenge but would probably be grossed out by dead animals 😁

[@computerblue01]

TVTara I can appreciate that!

[@schl0tte]

Shooting animals with bow and arrow ain't hunting. It is *hurting* The victim dies after hours or days in pain. It's just like stabbing one in the stomach with a screwdriver. No lethality - just agony

[@computerblue01]

Imothep I don't hunt, but I do know that if done correctly, bow hunting is a very clean and effective way to kill an animal. I'm sure most hunters don't follow animals around waiting for it to drop dead.
