It's All In The Hips! Shooting Uphill/Downhill

You're pretty sick Chubbs. In this video I cover the importance of drawing level and bending at the hips when shooting uphill and downhill to avoid hitting high on the target.

Great coaching! Can you do one on anchor position/peep relationship when shooting close versus long range?

[@macmacca659]

I shot field yesterday, struggled on a few targets. I wake up and think, today I will learn about shooting up and down hills.......and her it is! thank you, thank you , thank you!

[@livingadreamlife1428]

Great advice Kellen. Don’t assume we know this stuff, we don’t.

[@russellscharpp9669]

Gonna stop by the bow rack Tuesday 👍🏻

[@masonheeringa]

Very interesting! I'm tree stand hunting all the time. Good advice.

[@gabrielmiranda3413]

Great content, great coaching👍

[@stevecrader3479]

Well, since I do live here in the land of "gopher mounds" I can attest to the fact that your are still correct. Its so easy in a tree stand to just draw on an angle, but when you actually practice it and you do indeed hit high, you have to remind yourself to bend at the hips

[@fanaticoutdoor6573]

Really puts it into perspective. Good video👍👍

[@thekickingwolf1]

Thanks mate! Super helpful 🙌

[@Ibelieveinfreedom]

Like always great 👍 tips. Thank you.

[@blakedover5521]

Super helpful video! Thank you!

[@jimr7154]

Thanks for the advice, Never thought about that even though it's pretty flat here in SE mass. except for tree stand hunting

[@timr3191]

Jim R SE mass? I’m in the Hills of South Worcester County... small world lol great channel..

[@bakerjwg2]

I just started archery a couple months ago and your videos have really helped me with my form thank you for the great advice.

[@njtrout]

Great video bud !! Helped out a lot

[@kenroper4247]

This overlooked a lot

[@Thedudeabides803]

Want that shirt!

[@Ne7RideR]

I was told that angle compensating range finders will get you close to the correct distance you need to shoot at. For the range finder to be bang on it would need to know what speed your arrow is coming off the bow at and how much it weighs. Apparently there are range finders coming out that you can enter this data into and get much more accurate numbers.

[@djonesoutdoors]

i found this out after i lost a few arrows at bowfest this weekend 😅Great tips !

[@dksizzr]

That makes perfect sense can't wait to try that out thanks

[@aaronward3882]

I hear the Leopold full draw 4 will help with the extreme angle shots.

[@davidgreer9567]

Thanks for another informative video.

[@demunbell]

Knowledge

[@sgtcaboose5407]

Respectfully disagree. George Ryals and Dave Cousins recommend bending at the hips and lining up your shoulders with the target Before you draw your bow. For more info you can watch George Ryals' seminar from the most recent ATA Show which is posted on his youtube channel (Edit) The point of bending at the hips before you draw rather than after is it is more consistent with balance and posture.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Yeah I can see how that would work, but regardless you're bending at the hips so that your anchor doesn't change. I haven't personally tried that but George and Dave certainly know what they're talking about. Seems difficult to get to full draw once already bent over though.

[@sgtcaboose5407]

@@InsideOutPrecision It's actually not as difficult as it may seem. I've shot both methods, and I prefer the Cousin's method because you feel more balanced and stable. I recommend watch George's seminar, he does a much better job explaining than I do. Also I really like your channel. This wasn't meant to come off as mean spirited, just a civil disagreement of ideas.

[@pauldavies5541]

My 2c is always draw level then bend at hips as described. I injured my shoulder last year drawing downhill. The distance to get into the valley was longer and the bow jumped as it didn't lock off where I expected it to. Won't be doing that again!

[@MrJackson917]

Hey great vid was just practicing this yesterday.

[@philbow6374]

My good friend introduced me to your channel! I wonder if I do this? I am going to work on this. New subscriber now.

[@viarbusiness]

Hey man! I have learned a ton from your vids. I’ve got some issues getting my new Vertix to group... been going through the tuning process and arrow build. Would love to open up some dialog about it if there’s a good place for that.

[@natecarter5]

Just an observation, but if you angle your hips first you don’t have to draw flat and then tilt at the hips. As long as your tilting your hips it won’t matter which comes first.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Yeah that works well too. For me, its hard to draw when bending over downhill though.

[@GrizzAxxemann]

Being a jacked up cripple who doesn't walk too well or can stand for more than 30 seconds, I do all my shooting from a seated position. Got any suggestions? I really don't want to fall off my stool.

[@rakkup7572]

Thanks again for great info. There IS a question at the end but just wanted to say that over here on the east coast, in northern GA, there’s nothing remotely flat where I live and hunt. It’s creek bottom to ridge top with topography being one of the biggest factors I deal with. I came from hunting south Florida 3’ below sea level so yeah, flat. I took the pointers from Paige pierce that she uses at Redding for side hill shots and it’s great when you bubble over the right amount to get in the middle. Is there anything you could add to that topic of how much to cant and how to get it right on you’re first shot not the second? Lol thanks brotha!

[@zhickman338]

Do you ever use a cut chart while hunting?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

My range finder has angle compensation built in. That's all I go off of

[@fjosephstockbridge5592]

Why is it harder to get my hinge to fire on an uphill shot. It seems like I have to pull through stronger than normal to get the hinge to fire.

[@Outlabyrinth]

Great content as always , strait forward, simple and effective Thanks Could I ask you some advice : I just mounted a X4 l’ensoleillent my scope AV 41 The lense is an optic 300 products Is fen until I reach 70yards , the target gets blurry more and more as get longer shots Do you think is quality relative or my eyes that need à clarifier in the peep ???? Let me know your thoughts Cheers

[@jakelutz257]

Solid advice. Did you tie your rest cable to the bracket above the axle or on the limb? I have seen both ways for Mathews.

[@InsideOutPrecision]

That little bracket. Either works fine though

[@jakelutz257]

Inside Out Precision Thanks for the reply!

I have an really old bushnell and don't know if it has slope compensation.... Any tips to check and if it doesn't any suggestions for calculating that

@@geneg3549 yeah we work on any bkw that comes through the shop. Swing by, we'll get you dialed in!

[@1tcrjr]

I have been in archery shops (literally) across the country and these guys are really knowledgeable and the customer service is great! I have been shooting bows for 30 years and I am learning new things. Just ordered some new shafts and heads because they EARNED the business !

[@geneg3549]

Well I went back in and got dialed in , had to switch the top hats and change anchor point due to beard😂😂. . “ I swear it’s got to be the bow!!!🤣 I trimmed the beard , but would like to got back to ol anchorpoint you think a longer d loop would help?

[@jerrycox5700]

I killed a couple of deer last year from my tree stand sitting down and both shots were high I guess you should Bend at the waist even sitting down?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Yeah if you can. That's a hard shot though!

[@jerrycox5700]

@@InsideOutPrecision thanks for the feedback yeah it's a stand it's kind of in a Thicket you don't ever really see the deer to there right on top of you so I usually shoot them sitting down don't want to risk them seeing me standing up maybe I just hold a little lower

[@timr3191]

3rd axis ??

[@InsideOutPrecision]

3rd axis won't have anything to do with hitting high or low, just left/right.

[@blackarm3265]

Can you please help me? I got a 2019 Hoyt nitrux it was left over I got in March so it's only been 4 months I probably should 300 to 500 shots a week I've had timing go out 4 times an peep rotation it was the fuse string that came stock I use the truball HT hybrid and truball sweet spot pro flex I love shooting l live in Lancaster PA an live 12 min away from Lancaster archery they told me the string is shot and basically made it like I shoot so much that it's my fault my first bow was a 2020 bear paradox an had all these problems with string as well but that was because there was a burr in in one cams so I thought by spending 850$ on a bow and got the qad hdx rest that I'd be ok I really like your videos I think it be great to shoot with you do stock strings just suck??? If I get a gas ghost string or abb would I not have theses problems I don't care what string looks like I just wasn't a reliable product that can handle alot of shooting I generally shoot 3 to 5 arrows an take a pic each time to keep track of number of shots in a session an to keep track of progress I wish you were close bye so I could check out your shop anyway my # is 7174060293 if u can text or respond on here I'd really appreciate my name is Bryan take care and thanks one more question I like back wall to be firm can I replace the stock stops with ones the are just aluminum with out the area on stock that has the rubber to protect the string or are the Bowmar ones that are flat a better choice?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

So long story short, yes, the stock strings on hoyt are garbage. Get a set of GAS Ghost XV's and you won't see any stretch. As far as the stops go, you won't really feel much difference by taking off the rubber piece, but the bate aluminum will chew through the serving on your cables really fast. The Bowmar stops would be a good choice.
