Introduction to Archery with Survival Lilly

[@SurvivalLilly]

My bow store for Germans and Austrians: www.bogenstore.at/

[@WilliamLouis-vk6wz]

@@SurvivalLilly over the years I've learned making most of my equipment to forging and knapping arrow heads and shafts. Scrounging for nature feathers. I have a lot to pass on to my grandkids. And don't let that jerk that made the comment about you get you to distrot. A--holes everywhere.

[@kingrafa3938]

Happy New Year Lilly!

[@yellads]

You need to do a high draw for higher powered bows like longbows and recursive.

[@bio-techlarry9602]

HI, Lilly, Just subscribed to your newsletter. I've been clicking around in your new store. Very nice assortment.

[@unitedstatesirie7431]

you are one of my favorite German women ❤

[@ryimscaith1593]

I've been doing archery since well before you were born, young lady, and that was one of the best archery introduction discourse I have ever heard. All useful information without the fluff. Safety first and covered all the basics to build upon. 10/10

[@caravanlifenz]

She's Austrian. They're direct.

[@AllanTF141]

Been in archery 20yr and this is the best quick start video I've seen. Great job! ⭐

[@journeywithnichole]

Hitting the bullseye with every “not to do stance.” Incredibly impressive. So excited to learn everything I can about archery. Thank you 🙏

[@rbakken2999]

Outstanding Lilly. I've been shooting bow for about sixty years and you taught me a few things. Your awesome!

[@stuartpowell449]

I never realized how dangerous archery was. I'll stick to firearms. i really enjoy shooting ! Thanks Lilly and have a fantastic new year !👍 😊

[@atnfn]

I suppose you can't cut yourself on bullets.

[@bigredwolf6]

@@atnfnYou’d be surprised. Also, Lead poisoning.

[@Beefinator5000]

Bullets never hurt no one.

[@NoRockinMansLand]

Most people aren't worthy of gun ownership

[@SoloHiker1]

Agreed, firearms are much safer and reliable.

[@Mark-u2b3f]

Love the content Lilly. I started archery because of some of your videos and still learnt a bit today. all the best from Australia 🦘🇦🇺

[@leonardwood8024]

Thanks for the refresher. Keep em coming. Happy New Year.

[@earlshaner4441]

Happy New Year everyone

[@aaRrrBeeVee]

this is the video I didn't know I needed. Archery looks fun

[@VickersV]

Happy new year to you, thank you for all your good advice. Thank you and have a brilliant year 👍🇮🇪

[@woodrowbrimm2805]

I used to shoot a Bow about 50 years ago but not anymore. Lilly has a Lot of good Safety and Accuracy Tips here many of which I never even thought about back in the day. Very Informative video .

[@WilliamLouis-vk6wz]

Bow shooting has always been my first love at five I've been in love for a long time. This past year I've had a left shoulder and neck injury. I'm recovering but with pain. Exercises help a lot. Looking forward to a little warmer weather. I'm far from to old to stop shooting. I'm only 64.

[@stevenparsons4464]

That was fast. It was very quick. You might consider making an archery basic series of perhaps eight episodes: equipment, safety, stance, draw, loose, etc.

[@sigurdivar4227]

You are actually a very good teacher. I know very little of archery, but this was really instructive.

[@sovbo101]

The best archery lesson I've ever had. Thank you so. Happy New Year!

[@frankshort1448]

Lily. You must have been written my mind because I've been thinking about getting back in to archery.Thank you for the video.

[@feduplisteningtobs]

So was I. The thought crossed my mind this morning then this vid pops up!

[@andyansley357]

I’m glad you’re back into archery videos again.

[@stevekitt52]

I need to get my 50lb recurve in action again. Happy New Year Lily.

[@NPC-fl3gq]

Any recurve 40lbs or more is my happy place 😂 (Except when I was a kid... I couldn't draw my dad's 65lb recurve at all 😂)

[@556suppressor]

I shoot a 40# recurve from Cabelas. The Sabrehawk is really nice.

[@journeywithnichole]

Thank you. You are a great instructor.

[@absolutelyperilous]

Happy New Year Lilly! Awesome video! I look forward to more! Very comprehensive!

[@mariannereno-db4db]

Thank you! Happy new year.

[@OverlandOne]

Excellent information. Thank you very much. Your video was very informative.

[@zenyeti3076]

Hi Lilly - Thanks for this lesson & the SAFETY part! As always excellent work ☮️&🌱

[@donb6474]

I enjoyed the bow when I was young. I didn't know what I was doing but didn't care. I was standing in front of a wall about as big as you backdrop shot a arrow and missed the whole wall. It wall the last time I shot a bow. Looks like I could had used a lesson or two from you. Thank You

[@RayJohn-n4r]

Hi, thank you for this video! I'm glad you made mention of injury's. Your shooting is great dispite your injury. I to shoot with a physical handicap, but I'm fond of my recurve bow & arrows. Thank you Lilly!

[@jamescooper2618]

Hi Lilly. I've been following your channel for several years now and I have been practicing archery for 45 years. After watching this video I would have to say that I agree with everything you said about safety and about shooting the bow. There are many people who have been shooting a bow for a few years and try to teach archery but they still don't quite understand some things and therefor, they get some of it wrong in their videos. You don't have that problem. Also, It looks like your release is good as well. You are not flinging your hand open to release the arrow, just as you talked about. Well done.

[@rock5138]

I always look forward to seeing your videos Lilly

[@joycedimaggio3816]

Great info. Thanks for sharing. HAPPY NEW YEAR 💥

[@randykramer3830]

I like the hand to the chin as an anchor. I’m a long time archer and never heard it explained that way. Nice.

[@kynkadeoutdoors]

while alot of your advice is spot on. I would add that another way to draw your bow is from the ground up. By using the push/pull method, which allows for using more of your back and stomach muscles and not just relying on your arm strength. As well as it being a safer method to draw if accidentally released the arrow goes into the ground than somewhere you would rather it didnt go. All other advice you gave is spot on. Just remember the draw I mentioned helps Archers that are not as strong to pull a heavier bow with proper technique. Thank you for this video and Happy New Year.

[@Grim-Crusader]

That is how I draw my 65lb recurve, works well

[@SurvivalLilly]

I am not a fan of this method, because it is harder to bring up the elbow in the right position.

[@kynkadeoutdoors]

@SurvivalLilly I understand. It does take practice, but in the long run, it's easier on the shoulder muscles

[@pauljorgensen7623]

​@SurvivalLilly maybe use the knee. It is stronger than the elbow. 😂😊

[@doexarmi3034]

Grüß' Dich Lilly, schönes und gut gemachtes Einsteiger-Video! 👍 Viele Grüße und weiter so, Markus

[@Just_a_heap_of_watervapor]

Incredible video! Very abundant in information yet easy to follow, engaging and entertaining just like all of your other videos.

[@johnwilson2338]

@ approx 13mins; Lily, stretching exercises prior to training/ shooting, is almost imperative! I can appreciate what you are trying to do for, all of Humanity. The ability to accurately launch an arrow, at this point in history, is sadly, waining.😢!

[@Jed-q2q]

Excellent advice. Looking forward to the next lesson.

[@cynthiaweathers6979]

❤ you are so good at that. Teaching archery is gonna be a natural for you.

[@richardpearson9337]

Great video lilly, I hope I look as stylish when I'm shooting, you've got a great archery technique, no wonder you are so accurate, best wishes for this year.

[@paulharding1621]

Great basic safety advice. I love 3D archery though in the UK I use firearms for hunting. I’ve been shooting a bow for almost three years, 38 Lb recurve is enough for me at 65 years old.

[@556suppressor]

I have a 40# bow for my backyard range. Need to get it out very soon.

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

Lilly is such a sweet person, I cant imagine anyone saying anything mean to her. Happy new year 🙏love from Ohio

[@2pathsB4u]

Thanks, LiLy

[@Kurtdog63]

Launching arrows is such a rewarding past time. Started shooting my first bow at age 6 I received on my birthday. 56 years later still doing it.

[@slowdancer5563]

I have been loosing arrows for over fifty years now. I must say Lilly, this is, must have information, for all archers. Well, done gal.

[@williamoneil9787]

Great groupings Lilly!

[@robertsk4523]

everything makes total sense, thank you very much

[@johnwilson2338]

Lily, Happy New Year! Keep doing your thing! And I'm sorry that your government, currently, is being less than desirable. I'm hoping that your European viewers have retained the information/ knowledge that you have provided, and can then use it to their advantage. Also, it has motivated me to tune up my bows and get back to refining my archery skills! Thank you, and God bless!

[@Boone22]

Have a Very Blessed New Years! Wishing you and your family a Wonderful year!

[@zeb781]

Hello Lilly, Thanks and Happy New Year !!

[@davidwilkinson333]

Love your channel, Lilly :-) For what it's worth, my suggestion would be a takedown version of a short asiatic bow rather than the bulky olympic-style recurve. You only need a thumb ring/leather protector (no need for gloves and arm bracers etc) and you can hold several arrows in your draw hand - less noticeable movement than reaching from a quiver. Also the smaller asiatic bows are lighter and easier to use in confined/stealth shooting spots. Granted, the downside is that it takes more practice with these bows than a centre-shot bows. A minor point for a survival bow, I would consider fletching some arrows with waterproof vanes rather than natural feathers (I still prefer feather though!) Keep up the great channel and good luck with your new store 😁 👍

[@maddogtannen1966]

Great video .. I always learn good stuff .. Diverse stuff as well .. Great job Lilly .. Note : You always look like you're having fun in your videos ..

[@cotydenise]

Thank you Lilly

[@robertcalkjr.8325]

Great tips. Thanks, Lilly!

[@Jason47-74]

I came back to archery after retiring from it 12 years before. I had quit it from frustration on part of how my dad treated me with it (didn’t do it the right way) and I was more interested in gun hunting anyhow. After years of taking game with a gun (which I still do), I have a greater interest in hunting and target shooting with a bow. Have also added slingshots and blowguns to the mix. Longbows are now my favorite, but of course am familiar with compounds, recurves and within the last few years have added “horse bows.” The “western draw” is my preference, but it was interesting how my Ukrainian wife and her sister who have little experience with archery instantly went to what I think is called the “Mediterranean Draw” and were accurate when target shooting. I wouldn’t mind continuing to visit that technique, but isn’t easy for me.

[@mikhailchesnokov2966]

Thank for the video! I've just started to learn and your video is very usefull!

[@kingrafa3938]

Happy New Year everyone!!!

[@EvgeniShatohhin]

Awesome shooting, great!

[@shawnedens9415]

That is great advice for new shooters thank you for that

Happy new year shatz!

[@TheArtisanbard]

That’s a cool archery range! Man you’r a good shot

[@Boone22]

Lilly, I hunt with a crossbow. I hope you also do a quick start on these bows too.

[@lweleven3423]

Great woodlands range you have there , nothing like that where I am

[@zippythechicken]

yes... i made the mistake of learning in the boy scouts and then when I bought my own bow the cost was so much that I just went with a higher poundage bow for hunting. I wasn't prepared for the extra weight and it was uncomfortable to use. It can also make you less accurate. For target practice use a bow you are comfortable with drawing over and over. Its like using a .22 cal rifle for practice. Its not about power its about accuracy.

[@georgewashington1621]

I've found that you can get the benefits of drawing the bow in 45 degree up position without its risks if you draw the bow in 45 degree down position instead. Although that was with a compound bow.

[@michelelustrissimini]

bellissimo video

[@CDLflush]

My older brother was into bow hunting, and he always carried feminine products with him in case of accidents. The corn emporium USA says, "Hey"

[@samfulks4896]

Thank you for the video

[@LYNX2418]

Hi lily, it's really good to see you with a bow in your hands again. I bought myself a 40lb draw weight 62" recurve very similar to the one you're using in this vid. This is all your fault! 😅😂. Kidding. I been getting busy with my arrows, fletching jig and feather vanes. It's a little bit harder than I thought to find a club close to home for practicing though. Keep up with the vids, maybe a competition with your sister or partner. 🙂

[@paullawley-walker1440]

Another excellent Archery vid lilly. Great content. Hope you do more, especially with the Field Archery side of the sport. Really into that side of it myself.

[@Mikes-knifeworld]

Lilly, Lilly, Lilly..... Es ist gerade angekommen. Ist das üblich, dass du n Patch dazu legst? Umd die Flasche? Das ist voll lieb von dir, danke! Das Apo sieht suöer aus. Also auf den ersten Blick. Sauber verarbeitet. Hätt ich eigentlich nicht gedacht, aber das erkläre ich in meinem neuen Video. Da kann ich auch meine neue mikroskopkamera ausprobieren. Bisher bin ich begeistert. Vielen lieben Dank Lilly! Freundlichst, Mike. Postscriptum: Ebenso soll ich den Dank meines Bruders aussprechen!😊

[@SurvivalLilly]

Freut mich dass du zufrieden bist. Viel Spaß mit dem Messer 😊

[@williamconklin9882]

I need a new kviver! Been shooting since i was a kid...virtually all long and recurve...got a Bear compound maybe 45 or so years ago...guy owed me $50 and gave it to me in lieu of the cash...wasn't a big fan...wished i could go back to the Bear recurve from 1969 (i think) my dad had given me...loved that bow...but, when I enlisted in '73 I left it and never saw it again...same with my records, day glo posters n blacklights, bell bottom jeans, a carved ivory 1 hitter, my '72 les paul custom (you know what that's worth today??), a Traynor tube amp and my suede fringe jacket! WTH?? 🤣🤣 have to laugh...or id have to cry!!😢😢🤣🤣🤣

[@curtfward652]

Thank you for the lesson. I too have a shoulder problem, gleich seide. You are not going to starve when shtf.

Happy New years

[@kevinward7498]

You're good. I know a little bit about archery but my dad is the expert. He can make arrowheads that look much like authentic old ones. I've got a magic trick for you. Get a pure copper coin or something around the size and shape of a small coin. Sand any edges or ruff spots smooth. Use medical tape to stick the copper on top of the most painful spot of any joint or tendon. Try to wear it 24/7 . Within a week there's a very good chance the pain will be gone, usually in 2 or 3 days. Seems to help arthritis as well but detoxing mercury from your body and not getting any more has worked for me so I don't have arthritis anymore. One other thing I just started doing, which really seems to help everything, is drinking hot cocoa twice a day. I put two teaspoons of powdered organic baking cocoa in a cup of hot water and stir until dissolved. Just cocoa and hot water, I really like it. This is supposed to release lots of stem cells from your bone marrow which go around your body and repair any damaged cells. Sounds very anti-cancer to me. I'm really enjoying feeling 20 again at almost 60 . That could be the red light therapy lamp though. 😀 OMG I've turned into a health nut 😮😂

[@happydog4929]

Happy new year Lilly I would like to see a bow of your design like your APO. All the best for the new year.

[@juanduque7983]

[@gomertube]

To clarify one thing. A right handed bow has the shelf where the arrow rests on the left side of the bow, and a left handed one has the shelf on the right.

[@SeanJorgenson-vy8nw]

Shooting cold without stretching and exercising can cause injuries. Especially shoulder cup tears. And tendons.

Hey Lilly! Been watching for years. Came for the survival tips and stay for the news updates. Would love to know your thoughts on the current election situation in Austria because we only get limited and very biased news here in the States. Can you do a video discussing it and is it promising for Austria, or worrying? Thank you so much for over 10 years of content!

[@Anjanaakirasoi]

Nice sharing 👍 my dear friend 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@leethebruce1605]

Just to add to her #3 point inspect the shaft of the arrow. If you hit a rock the shaft might splinter and send splinters into your hand when you shoot it next, and you might not notice it. It's happened to me and it's not fun. It's not always noticable on first sight

[@dalemeyer8207]

[@Grim-Crusader]

I have found that archery makes me a much accurate shooter with firearms. I don't use sights on my recurve, instinct aiming only. Plus, unlike a gun, it is very very quiet in the back yard 😂😂😂

[@DanielBelliveau-y5x]

May The Odds Ever Be In Your Favor Lilly Everdeen ! ! !

[@freedom2012inworld]

Definitely more skill than using a firearm. ❤ even more safety guidelines too. But still love the sport of the arrow

[@eleazarguzmanrn6945]

You should actually twist & pull when retrieving an arrow from a 3D target, it’s much easier. 👍🏼
