Shooting My Hoyt RX-8 With No Sight! | Bare Bone Bow Build w/ Joel Turner

[@The-Jokes-on-You]

This deserves a whole series. I'd like to see what a longer axel bow & finger tab could do.

[@Lost_Hwasal]

Unless its a long ass bow, like 50 ATA, its going to be uncomfortable to shoot finger.

[@The-Jokes-on-You]

@@Lost_Hwasal i don't know i think a 38 to 40 inch might be doable

[@bowhuntersworld4948]

I've been shooting a 33" ATA bow with fingers for the last 12 yrs... It's definitely doable, and definitely comfortable enough.

[@Tullminator]

Watch Fitzgerald Studios he's been doing that for years with Mathews bows. He's a beast.

[@chrississon2646]

True 👍

[@TheSchmuel]

That looks very rewarding! You've got me thinking.

[@Ranger.Vt.]

I always tell people that wanna start shooting instinctively or like this, it’s like anything else practice, practice, practice. Like throwing a baseball or football. You don’t think about it, just becomes muscle memory. That’s why an outfielder can throw a baseball to home plate right in the catcher’s glove. Great video RJ !

[@darrylpatterson1091]

I'm not a compound guy, but I don't think I have ever seen a group of compound shooters enjoy themselves so much. Just like a few kids with the latest greatest toy. Loved the video, very cool.

[@thomasandrews2045]

This is how an Oneida bow is setup!!,

[@LANCEBARNES13]

Awesome video guys !!! Thanks for sharing definitely looks like a fun way to Shoot

[@jasonard7227]

oh im setting up one of my bows to try this for sure

[@JeffreyR]

This is crazy cool

[@Dave300AMG]

I have always shot my compound bows bare bones just arrow rest , knock point and glove , like the man said " its like a regular bow on steroids " that's right ! and they are easily tuneable unlike regular bows .. 👍Good vid thanks .

[@bowhuntersworld4948]

Ive shot bare bow compound for over 35 yrs, minus 1 1/2 that i tried sights, and a year i used a release (ala uncle Ted) This is definitely interesting way to shoot that i might play around with a little.

[@mahskwahmontana7108]

Interesting i need to try this

[@TheKevinwildman]

Wow I’m surprise you could do that with a compound bow, I might try that down the road once I get a few kills.

[@joelsweeney1973]

Ok, I'm intrigued....

[@bradforner2939]

Im gonna try this this arvo on my phase 4! Never know until you try right?

[@justinjackson6696]

OK ya'll convinced me....gotta try it now.

[@slamonfpv]

oh yer now that looks good. 🏹🏹

[@Bowsonthebrain]

Crazy ! Makes sense though.

[@alexandersjostrand5036]

Can you use a different arrow rest like a blade rest or some other type of rest?

[@christophertanczos2612]

Have you tried paper or bareshaft tuning with this setup? I’m having a hard time getting an arrow to fly straight. Any tips or tricks?

[@SlimPickins_07]

I could never afford to shoot like this, would lose too many arrows 😂

[@timbow50]

One of the most truly educational videos I’ve seen in a long time. Years ago I did some of this “bare bow” compound shooting. It is amazing to see the arrows fly only faster !

[@blakebrowder5184]

So did your draw length change with shooting like this?

[@RJandAubrey]

We had to lengthen the D Loop to allow it to bend to my cheekbone slightly allowing me to get closer to the arrow. My draw arm sits farther back now so Im still at the same draw but my back arm is stretched slightly farther back😁👍

[@blakebrowder5184]

@@RJandAubrey cool thanks 😊 i think im gonna give this a try on my SS34. I have the world's worst time trying to see clearly using sights and peeps.

[@Arrowhacked]

Me too!

[@jasonvines4050]

Is that D loop material he used for the constrictor knot?

[@upstreamer1661]

So you need a ripcord, qad type rest?

[@aidendelong5869]

Not really, but a solid drop away with good aiming points

[@demunbell]

I may convert

[@demunbell]

I just went outside... shot my evening session no sight, off the rest aiming (hamskea trinity)... it was AWESOME🖤. Im done with sights

[@RJandAubrey]

That’s so awesome!! Im glad you enjoyed it!! It is a completely different feeling and its great!

[@demunbell]

@@RJandAubrey can you or Joel give a little more detail on measurement about the nocking and dloop positions on string?

[@derricknalley3053]

Yes please follow up video on some of those numbers would be awesome. I want to do this on my levitate.

[@lwsrider]

Like the ad says, "inquiring minds want to know." Be sure to save the video. We want you take this 160-point Boone and Crockett buck at 50 yards! 🦌🦌

[@efxanim8tor]

That's still sighting the bow. No where near instinctive shooting capabilities can achieve. Check out Tim Wells and the Fitzgerald father/son. They all shoot compound bare bow, true instinctive.

[@demetrius7266]

Lol you ever feel like archery has just been walking in a big circle as far as technique.

[@davidbright1489]

That looks so wrong lol. Arrow way high when you anchor. Donno if my mind could handle shooting like that haha.

[@RJandAubrey]

Hahahah That’s exactly my thoughts when I said Id give it a go🤣 Now it’s becoming more natural to me. I’m hoping after putting more time in practicing Ill be confident to take it in the field!

[@Boatflipit]

Why not shoot traditional equipment

[@aidendelong5869]

Try the TAC 111 yard challenge please!!!!

[@RJandAubrey]

Hahaha maybe soon!!

[@NonAbidingDude]

My only question is why? A $1000.+ Bow and then give all advantage up except speed? Why not just get a $400 recurve and really do it right? It's a good way to give up your advantage. A recurve is the true way to do it. What are we doing in the archery community? If it were, in any way at all better, wouldn't Brodie (his son) be doing it in the pros? Wouldn't they all?

[@jamesstewart7389]

Better is a piont of view, in this case funner is better, do any of us really hunt archery because it’s the most efficient way to hunt no it’s about enjoyment, it the way you enjoy the most.

[@frankspataro9714]

Your draw looks to long now im sure it will do good you just look like your stretched out
