The Cure For Missing! Longbow And Recurve Shooting Tips!

My shooting has been ok enough, but after watching this video, I’m nearly over my last hurtle! Thank you. There’s no feeling compared to a successful trad bow hunt. You really feel it in your soul. Never felt it with firearm hunting.

Jeff, I have watching your videos for 3 months and practicing with my new Top Archery recurve a couple of weeks ago. 20 years ago I finally gave up and went to a compound but was always disappointed. I thought I would try again and bought the bow and went to work. I have been improving steadily after 10 days and today I nearly got a Robin Hood. Wow what a day on the range, I feel like I owe you money for lessens..haha! Praise the Lord and many thanks!

[@AlanWJohnson]

Jeff, I shot archery for decades since I was a kid in rural KY, first traditional, then compound, then back to traditional. BTW, when I bought my first Pearson recurve there were no compounds so we didn’t call it traditional. It was just a bow and arrow. 😀 I sold all of my archery stuff s couple of years ago when we moved to FL and bought a small condo. This video is excellent and certainly makes me consider shooting again. Thank you!

[@budcat2]

Go do it.

[@jimscott64]

Jeff this is probably the best video you have made in my opinion. For those watching this let me just say this. Jeff made me one of his Carbon Trace bows two years ago. Believe me when I say that I have tried shooting that bow every which way you can possibly think of. I am JUST NOW getting very poficient with it. I have shot bows for 65 years. I have shot recurves since ai was a kid. In my adult life I shot and competed with compound bows. I have won a lot of tournaments and things like that. Shooting a bow instinctively is the hardest thing I have ever done. It has taken me two years to master it. This is not an overnight journey shooting instinctively. But when it starts to come together, brother there is nothing that is more enjoyable than shooting instinctively and hitting what your looking at. So for those who may be getting discouraged, hang in there. Bring this video up and watch it all the time, because Jeff is exactly right in what he is teaching in this video. I can't tell you how important the form part of this type of shooting is. So thanks again for the video Jeff, and to the rest of the viewers out there, KEEP WITH IT! It will come in time. Jim

Thanks my dear friend!

After two years of coaching, you have finally made sense of alignment in the draw arm. Coaches spend so much time on anchor points they push the draw itself into second place….thank you brother, I now have something visual to work with 🤙

Thank you Jeff. That full rotation of the arm really set off a Ah ha moment in my head. Thanks so much.

[@erikwilson7622]

Ole Duffer here, I have since I could crawl shoot anything that flung something downrange. As a grown up kid, I have dozens of toys, sling shots, rifles, shotguns, pistol, cross bows, compound and recurve. I recall my dad, giving away my Bear Kodiak (circa 1968?) wish I still had it. Just recently started shooting a recurve again. I am left eye dominate, but shot bows right hand. I am struggling to shoot where I am looking, usually about the distance between my eyes to the left off. I say your vid, and ding! a light went off, I have been shooting a 50lb, and it feels like there is no back wall, and hard to draw consistent. I moved up to a 70lb, and wow, what a difference. Watching your video made me finally get to where I can go hunting.

[@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998]

@@erikwilson7622 awesome brother! It’s getting close 🦌

[@NDFlyFisher]

I’ve been shooting for well over sixty years. For me, there are two very important criteria for a good shot and that prevent string plucking and subsequently missing. First, push with bow arm and pull with draw arm. Simply holding the bow and pulling the string, even if wrapping elbow, caused plucking. Second, the alignment demonstrated in this video. Getting the drawing elbow aligned means I’m always getting the elusive “back tension.” Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@jcarry5214]

I push pretty well, but what I'm doing when I push can be out of wack. I have to remember to treat it like my draw hand on a pistol. I'm raising, extending, and POINTING at the target spot. Good advice.

[@marcduguay9460]

Hi Jeff, first and foremost, I wanted to thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge on instinctive traditional archery ! I haven't yet watched all your videos but, so far, they have all been fantastic ! This one in particular, really hit home for me as I have been very discouraged with my overall consistency since my shoulder injuries 5 and 6 years ago. I have dropped my poundage to between 38 and 42 this year and that has helped. I can't thank you enough Jeff for sharing your personal struggles and frustrations with trying to improve. I felt exactly, and I mean exactly how you felt during that time. After watching this video something just clicked for me !! My shooting has improved so much these past few days that I felt the need to say thanks for providing such valuable knowledge and information, and for sharing your passion for traditional archery ! God bless and cheers from PEI Canada.

[@jacobhochstetler825]

Jeff, I have been shooting for 15+ years and I used to be crazy accurate. Somewhere after a shoulder surgery and starting a job I lost my consistency. I watched this video and grabbed a tape measure to check my draw length. I realized my draw length was ranging from 27.5-30.5 with the same anchor point on my face. Sure enough locking my elbow back fixed the issue. I will try it out with my bow after I get home today!

Hey Jeff. Good video. I've shot traditional for years. And bare bow. Compound. And have been extremely accurate . But I used to shoot a lot more.

@@TracyM-j2c You’re exactly right brother that’s the absolute truth!

[@s1monch1n]

As a beginner i think the fact that you are able to release so quickly after hitting anchor makes it a little difficult to pick up the subtleties of how you transfer between anchor and release. Is there any chance you could demonstrate deliberately holding anchor for a couple of seconds to better illustrate this all important part of the process for those of us who are struggling along trying to teach ourselves? There is precious little archery where I am and quality information is difficult to come by so your videos are absolutely priceless. Thank you so much for being so free and generous with your knowledge Jeff.

[@richardbernard8491]

It’s uncanny that I should see this video. I just figured this out this past week. I realized that I was not getting my drawing elbow back into perfect alignment. Had to be consciously aware of my drawing elbow going all the way back and viola, accuracy improved! Thanks Jeff !

[@uncleremus5046]

It’s called proper alignment & getting into your real Anchor which is when your Scapula is set. Your Scapula properly set is your Anchor where the string touches your face are just references. 99.9% of Archers don’t know that!

[@markmclaughlin4801]

I just worked on this today and realised why my consistency was off recently. Am now happier after ensuring I engaged my scapula. Great info

[@uncleremus5046]

Keep practicing your draw Mark & you’ll feel your Scapula set itself for the shot. Ingrain that feeling Mark into your subconscious & eventually when you’re not in proper alignment it will feel wrong & you’ll let down & start over.

[@chriserickson2385]

Right but if you put your fingers in a different place higher/lower on your face your aim will be diff every shot

[@JeepITguy]

So would it be fair to say this is like proper form on a Lat pulldown- where you squeeze the shoulders together?

[@timkaldahl]

Thanks Jeff. I'm getting into barebow so I can do a better job of coaching my 4H shooters who don't have compounds. 90% of success is form and consistency. Each discipline has its own tips and techniques that improve success. With my NASP students I teach them the fish hook anchor (index finger on corner of smile), and inevitably someone will raise their anchor so they're looking down the arrow. If they are more accurate doing that, I just reinforce the need to make sure their anchor point is repeatable.

Just wanting to try this as i have been a compound shooter for 50 yrs!! ir ordered a tidewe wooden takedown recurve at 35 pounds to start !! Im 63 and shoot my compound at 55 lbs. works for me and easy to draw . back in the early 90s i used to pull about 73 lbs. no need anymore with modern compounds as they are very fast now a days.. anyhow after taking 25 deer with a compound i feel i am ready to try trad shooting but seeing how my bow will be 35lbs it will just to get into the sport at least. if i get accurate like you its going to be fun!! Thanks again for your trad bow wisdom!!

But a guy who used to live down the street from me really showed me how important shoulder rotation is, and why it makes you anchor more constantly. Unfortunately he moved a few months back. But this just shows how difficult it is. I still struggle with it but getting better. I shoot abit like this guy, I'm not on anchor for long, infact i try to get in a rhythm, the more fast i draw the more accurate i am, i have a time window of about 1 to 2 seconds from draw to release, any longer i over think it and mess up.

My entire traditional bow hunting etc was based on instinctive shooting. I tried the “ aiming” stuff. The fingers under the arrow stuff and it just wasn’t for me. One thing that I feel gave an edge was I shot a lot. I mean that was what I was- a long bow wooden arrow hunter. For me it was so natural to just draw back while focused 100% on whatever spot and let it fly. There’s no other feeling like it.
