[@joshuafrench1067]

Great instructions. I used to shoot compound many years ago and wanted to get into recurve. My issue is finding tips on aiming without a sight.

[@seansoutdoors]

It is not easy to develop that way of shooting, so you have to be dedicated to doing it. I'd first recommend working on having good form and clean proper release of the string. Once you get the mechanics down and muscle memory, then start focusing more on the shot placement. I'd recommend focusing your eyes on one small point on the target and do'nt take your eyes off of it. Focus on that point before you even raise the bow, then draw and continue to stare at that point. While at full draw and staring at that point, pay attention to your body as well, can you feel where to move your hand to? Sometimes I can and sometimes not. When I can, I move my hand to where it feels right all the while staring at that one small point on the target. Then your mechanics are crucial. You must properly execute the shot in order for the arrow to go where you are now aiming. If you can't feel where to aim, just keep focused on that point on the target and try executing the shot and seeing where it goes. Another technique is gap shooting where you look at the point of the arrow in relation to the target. YOu get familiar with where the point is when shooting at that distance and you seek to get the point close to that angle and area in relation to your target every time. Best of luck to you. God bless

[@johnbarr360]

once u get it its amazing i love instinctive shooting thinking of going instinctive with compound practice focus on a spot concept aim small miss small if your draw cycle is good and clean and consistant u should do well

[@gregoryblair9810]

Use the hand triangle method to determine left / right eye dominance. Then close the non dominant eye. Then practice practice practice.

@@seansoutdoors hey buddy , i was just wondering what is the name and style of your bow in the video . i just got one just like that one in the video and don't know anything about it. Also , it has no string either so i would like to fine the proper string for this bow. I research how to measure it and I got 57 inch I belive. If that helps. Thank you for any infomation you could give me. I want to try this now out soon. I hope you had a great thanksgiving

[@PhoenixRizez]

Thank you. My son and I got some beginner bows/arrows recently and we spent a few days practicing without any real knowledge. The last 6 minutes taught us more than 2 full days of blind practicing did. For such a short, simple video, it was very informative. Awesome! We appreciate the information.

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks. Be safe out there God bless you

[@chunchoe]

very short and concise video literally the only video ive found talking about having the off coloured part of the arrow fletching needing to be on the outer side

[@seansoutdoors]

Thanks. I am hoping to record another video or two on using recurve this summer, so hopefully you will stop back and watch those as I hope to give some more advanced tips. God bless you.

Great! Enjoy it. God bless ya

[@d.victorpellegrino4772]

I can't thank you enough for all of your videos. I have learned so much from you. I have hesitated for years to buy and shoot a recurve bow thinking I could never learn how to shoot it accurately. After watching your videos, I bought a Samick Sage and went shooting for the first time today. I had a fun beautiful day with my recurve. Found my anchor point within minutes, sighted in and was shooting great groups from 20 yards within minutes. Thank you thank you thank you so very much. I am definitely hooked on recurves now. :) I will continue to watch your videos and recommend them to others.

[@seansoutdoors]

That is so wonderful! I'm happy to hear you had such a great time, and thank you also for wanting to watch more of my videos. God bless ya!

[@w4447]

I have been shooting a bear wolverine for a few months now. One tip I would give is make sure the knock on your string is correctly positioned. I drop my arrow placement 1/8 to 1/4 inch below the knock and it helped my arrow flight. I got the string and knock put on at a local archery shop but it isn't right. Also know the distance between the string and the riser. It is in the manual and it does matter. Other then that be consistent every time you pull the string back and don't over think it. Have fun I do every time I go shooting.
