You are totally right. Nusensei once was guest at a turkish horsebow archery school. There you start with one m distance and concentrate only on form and then you start to move away meter by meter. Very slowly, until there is enough confidence and when the groups are good enough. And it makes totally sense.

This is a skill which is absolutely critical to the successful hunter. Learning to hit the target not only at a longer distance, but also at varying distances and learning to judge distances. I like to start by playing "Guess that distance" I guess and then confirm the actual distance using a laser rangefinder....Each season begins with this game and you really get good at it over time. Shooting at random distances is important. I never met an Elk that stood still with an open shot at a perfect 30 yards. 😆 Great video as always, Armin!

Everything you write is true - but how do you aim? `Cause if you shoot "instinctive" you don`t need to know the distance to the target.
@harlinwall93672 жыл бұрын
Practice with a range finder does not require a bow...fun to compete with friends. This only allows you to learn to visually recognize distances in relation to your measurement system. You must then practice at different ranges. First like Armin shows...starting close before gradually moving back. Then using your range finder to confirm the actual distance, try shooting from random distances. Once you become proficient at this...try shooting from random distances and using your own distance judgment skills to hit the target. Then practice shooting from angles (quartering to...and quartering away shots) and shooting uphill and downhill at your target. It becomes more complicated but give you a better sense of real hunting in the field. You can practice shooting from behind or through cover too. Many times I've had the find a gap where I could "thread the needle" through a gap in some twigs of a thicket. Not something you'd want to try for the first time in the midst of an actual hunt. Some 3D ranges even have moving foam targets. The challenge is a blast and you always learn something new. Great question!🙂

See, this is why we call you a world class teacher. I mean I see what your saying 💯 percent. This way of shooting is what we use to do with knife throwing, one step back at a time. This is probably the best way to train ever. This will make you an all around super instinctive archer. (Because you will train at every distance going all the way back) this is the best teaching I’ve seen yet on how to accumulate distance while being accurate. When I first started I doubled the distance and I had such an amazingly hard time. I was stuck at 20 meters for like 7 months straight. I gotta share this video so people won’t fall into the same trap I did.

Confidence is key! It is really a mental game with your brain controlling everything. No matter how much we try to remove the emotion, fight or flight will always remain in your brain. Confidence I believe is connected to the fight response in your brain. Any kind of fear or anxiety or doubt in your shot will turn on the flight response in your brain and your focus is removed from the mechanics of executing a good shot. Any sense of doubt when I shoot makes me miss. Great video Armin!

I did the exact opposite in my archery training and I sometimes shoot with people that do the small increments techniques ( they go to an archery club). The results are quite interesting. So with the small steps increments, they do have better groups than me. But whenever we do the old game of picking a random target and trying to shoot it ( who can hit it the first), I’m way better than them. It might be because they aim and I don’t (I shoot instinctively), or maybe it’s because of the difference in training. I guess different training give you different skills.

The problem with many clubs? The shooting line and target is a set distance. When I started, the minimum distance I shot was ten metres indoor and back then outdoors was at one hundred yards! I didn't lose any arrows, so I couldn't have been bad. That was thirty years ago and I'm just restarting, using a Snake bow. I wouldn't be able to pull the 36LB Hoyt Pro Medalist I used to have either. Now I'm going to stick to bare bow! Which to me, means the only item that can be added to the bow is a string!

I've lost the skill i learnt before. Would using mixed arrow weights have the same effect ? I have several sets of arrows at different grain and find it takes practice to conform to shooting one grain weight to another. Say, if shooting 3 different grain arrows in a set of 10 as an example, all mixed up, would one automatically adjust to the aim without thinking after much practice ?

Personally my idea was to learn archery in 2m increments also., My archery club only shoots at the standard distances and everyone at the same distance. Which annoys me a bit, but most are recurve or compound shooters. The bare bow shooters are mainly experienced (30+ years). Trying to setup something in my garden to shoot short distances. However, what would you say is a decent grouping? Like a 10 cm circle or does it change at different distances?

Personally I'm happy if I hit the area corresponding to the kill zone of a medium size animal (behind fore leg junction, heart and lungs location). Used to this from 3D targets, but if I get this kind of group on a 2D flat target I'm happy with it. . If the group is smaller then it's super cool, if not but still in the kill zone I am also very happy. I never measure the distance between arrows like them Olympics style shooters, I shoot only traditional bows. That's also something you have to keep in mind, a fine group is way more difficult to score with traditional equipment than it is for a modern bow with all the fancy stuff hanging from these. Plenty of guys capable of scoring super tight groups using modern bows on a set distance. And as soon as they don't know the exact range, or have to change a bit their stance, or switch to a traditional bow they can't shoot a damn thing at 10 yards.

@@Jonsoh811 Ok, well I used the distance increments to "re-learn" shooting after switching to thumb release. Worked great for me, I used 2m increments. If you do instinctive shooting, you'll have better groups on 3D targets than 2D flat ones. I struggle a lot to have groups under 12ish cm diameter on 2Ds while shooting same distance on a 3D will often result in crazy tight groups (sometimes arrows touching or nearly touching). 3D targets doesn't necessarly involve a fake animal or something. Just something with enough shape and 3D aspect that your eye can catch upon it better, and perceive the distance, and then aim towards something smaller upon it.

I want to try to build a bow for myself because i have a compound bow but i like traditional bows better but i can't afford it. That's pretty cool that you crafted your own bow even though it's not for you that must have been a neat experience.

Are you shooting with your thumb? Why do you shoot on the right side of the bow? Seems like being a right hand shooter you would have problems keeping the arrow on your hand.

why are your shooting targets so low??

Because it does not make a difference and I like to move my target around
