This Changed My Archery Game 100%

Tim Connor goes through his experience with archery, and target archery in specific. In this archery video I highlight new target bow, PSE SupraX, as some of the things that have helped with my archery learning curve. #archery #review

[@easternadventures4254]

I love every aspect of your content Tim! Thank you and I’m routing for 100k by end of year!

you should call it WHITE BOY

[@tannerharris1483]

For anyone wanting to dip into the target archery game but you’re on a fixed budget: Use your hunting bow and spend your money on great target accessories. It’s nice to have two bows that are tuned for each type of archery, but usually those season don’t overlap so it won’t be an issue.

[@jackbuendgen389]

Having 2 bows is outrageous! But look at my gun safe full of guns and $100,000 truck!

[@toddturnbaugh4451]

Maybe it's just me since I have 0 knowledge about target archery, but I'd appreciate a very basic video about it. I mean I don't even know how you get to a 300 score. Maybe for most that's obvious, but I think it would help more than a few people follow along better. Either way keep up the good work.

[@Matt-jl8xf]

From a place of zero knowledge in the target world, a good idea to start is to watch the pros shoot to get an overall feel for it. Watch the vegas shoots of past years. Watch the lancaster classic shootoffs from past years. Watch the world archery shootoffs from past years. World archery also does 50 meter outdoor competitions for compounds. Then there is the ASA 3d shootoffs you can watch... that is usually a good way to start to learn what its about. Its all available to watch on youtube too. The commentary is sometimes a bit lacking for someone new, but they do their best to explain things while also commentating for the regulars. The hunting influencers dabble with target archery and they give some good information, but their knowledge is not very deep and your best bet is to learn things from the top people in the sport. I love to see that Tim and others like him are finding the world of target shooting more and more. Its a growing sport and its great to see. Nothing comes close to improving your ability more than target archery and shooting local tournaments. Shooting a ton of arrows, and shooting them with purpose is how you get better, as well as keeping your score whether its 3d, outdoor, or indoor. Its a good way of seeing your improvements manifest in reality. Go down the rabbit hole my friend! Target archery has been a blessing in my life. It did not take long until I was hooked. It all started with my hunting bow and slowly putting more and more target accessories on it. Then it was not long until I got an actual target bow and the tools to work on everything myself. That was all she wrote. Its given me some amazing experiences, and have met a pile of cool people through the tournaments. Its good for adults to have something to want to be competitive with, and its a TON of fun at the same time. Good luck!!

[@loganchapman105]

I feel like every video I have seen on YT has been geared to beginners. I have yet to see a video take on a subject that I actually taught me something I didn’t know already.

[@taylorpage_golf]

Love the content man, you bring a low key yet passionate energy to the archery game. The editing is always 🔥 as well. I’ve learned a ton from your videos as well as all the elk shape and podium archer stuff. We briefly met at SVA the other day. I’m about three months into shooting bows and have gone full obsession with the entire sport, with no end in sight. Content like yours makes it really easy to learn and develop my own game. Thanks for all that you do and the hard work that goes into it 👊

[@macdaddy32]

Sick bow! I think it’s great that you are doing some target stuff. Really helps everyone who wants to try it feel more comfortable, with something that is a little intimidating. Thank you!

[@jeffstevens1826]

Awesome video! Glad to see you enjoying the supra X 40! I just ordered a supra X 37.

[@paulallen9590]

Great video. I'm on the same path trying to just get better and have found that I have really improved shooting target archery. Love those PSE Supras BTW!

[@Roland-Pulling-The-Strings]

Nice video! I also just bought a pse supra. Very happy with it! You are making nice videos. That 100k will come!

[@workinonitsteve]

Great info, keep working my friend!

[@TheLaney300]

Just ordered one! I can't wait to get mine! Such a great shooting bow!

[@josephbettis6584]

As usual you 2 guys are the bomb....I love watching you 2...I have learned more from your videos than I can explain....I have just went in the target rabbit hole....and love watching all both of your videos

[@Outdoorbowhunter]

I joined the indoor 5spot league this year. I started off shooting in the 280s and by the end of the 8 weeks I was shooting 295. The indoor game definitely helped me out.

[@tschreiv]

Man I love that you constantly get new bows and are open to trying different companies. Lots of brands make great bows!

[@nilslandis1603]

Thanks for all the great content. You are committed to improving yourself, and that is inspiring. I'm new to compound archery, and I'm stunned by the amount of money required to have a middlin' hunting rig. I'll stick to shooting the old bow I was given, shooting outside daily, and improving best I can.

[@billjones9708]

Always love your videos, Tim. You are coming from a learners side of things and always seem to want to investigate more. I think the name of your bow should be centered around "Blanco"; maybe Big Blanco or Smooth Blanco. Just spit ballin!

[@LANCEBARNES13]

Good stuff thanks for sharing it’s bee something i e wanted to get into more rather than just a hunting bow.

[@seanrobillard6064]

Love the target archery content.

[@Annie-zf7xi]

Ima loving this channel ❤. Keep doing what you’re doing! New sub. Ohh and the bow name, White Lightning. Have a great day Tim!

[@user-ye7sm1kt1d]

I love your sights.

[@CredibleWoodwerks]

Seeing that sanitary white bow, I immediately thought of the name "Pope". Thanks for taking us all on your archery adventures!

[@blessedvetoutdoors]

I shot my first k40 tournament this past weekend. It was a blessing and had a really good time. I think I'm going to tinker a little this year and buy an 18 to 24 in podium bar and a 12 out back, almost forgot the podium 10* QD. Hoping the Lord allows me to pick up a hinge 2. Love the video brother. Thinking off season will be deep dives into target, wishing I would have gotten into it sooner.

[@Matt-jl8xf]

Its a world of fun thats for sure!.... In my opinion on the bars, just go all in and run a 26-32" bar out front. You will end up there eventually if you stick with target shooting... I bought a set of really good bars and they move with me from bow to bow. Buy once, cry once. lol. I run a 30" front and 12" side which is probably the most common set-up for stabilizers on a target bow. Just start light with the weight and then move up as you get stronger with your hold.

[@mattshanks2604]

This video was awesome!!!!!!!

[@goldtip34]

Good stuff, put in the work and you will see results.

[@stephengatley8144]

I just got my HOYT Stratos 40 yesterday 🎉. Setup is today 😊

[@cannonfbailey]

Hey Tim, love your solo venture. My shop gave me the same exact advice. I've started shooting 5 spots and Vegas faces, even though I'm way more interested in 3d and hunting.

[@TimConnor13]

Awesome my dude

[@ryanwilson2627]

You’re killing it

[@TimConnor13]

Appreciate it ✊

[@andresmith1037]

I like the video/topic. I currently am putting together a bow specifically for target archery. More to to be able to shoot more often and less fatigue, which should equal better accuracy at some point.

[@TimConnor13]

I agree ✊

[@caseyhassett2545]

If theres more target related videos, i'm all in.

[@jaycpopejr]

I’m thinking “Obi wan” for your new target rig. Love the target content. My 17yo son & I are shooting winter spot league at our local archery shop (Boneyard Archery) as well as weekly money shoots at another local shop (Fuel Outdoor Gear). It’s super fun! As a volunteer high school archery coach for my son’s shooting team I try to consume as much archery content as I can to help learn how to teach the kids how to shoot better scores. Between you, MFJJ, BMac, JamesV, Dudley, Morgan, Bee & TimG I’ve picked up all kinds of tips that have helped me both as a coach and an archer. At 53yo my eyes aren’t what they used to be. My high score is 291 with 10x twice using my hunting rig. V3 31, trinity rest, BG Pro Hunter HD 3pin, 10” flatline, Like Mike release & Vforce gamer arrows. I’m 95% hunter & 5% archer but I’m enjoying shooting indoor with my son. He’s a senior so he’ll be off to college in 7 months. Hating that already so I’m trying to soak up as many hours I can with him now. Love your content! Keep it up!

[@jrhunt414]

If you want to get to 300 I would recommend getting to 20xs first. When you’re shooting for Xs and not 10s the tens will come naturally. Your good shots really need to be a single hole in the X to keep all your bad shots in the 10.

[@davidgriffin5935]

keep them up! everybody is talking about stabilizer weights are important but i havent found content on how to help different things. and maybe very general thoughts like up down float needs what? left right needs what? obviouly its goin to be alittle different for everyone. but coming from hunting bows where we just buy a 10" and learn to shoot it. a shove in the right direction would help! thanks for content and keep grinding to 100k

[@TimConnor13]

Thanks dude ✊

[@billhemphill1243]

Enjoyed! Video idea: explain concisely and thoroughly how the Axcel achieve works. Like an Axcel achieve for dummies.

[@nathanmarx]

Fastest way to learn is find a local club. They can help you figure out what you want to try and what might work for you

[@jimrussell1246]

My personal opinion is to shoot 300-400 arrows everyday and you will see your scores go up quickly. I found that by shooting back to back to back 300 rounds on a five spot face, my float got very tight and my mechanics were basically a natural reflex. My personal best on an FAA five spot was 300-58X in a tournament. Those two X's are the unicorn I'm chasing. LOL. Good videos keep on keepin on!

[@bigKANG420]

I've been considering a target bow to hunt with. People act like ATA is a big deal but look at traditional archers hunting with 60+ inch recurves and longbows

[@johnjordan9945]

THE STORM TROOPER!

[@jac919]

Good stuff. I'm intrested in doing the same with my hunting bow set up.

[@garrisonsmith03]

It’s awseome to see more bow hunters who also golf. It’s kind of hard to find, seems like two different groups of people who do both, but there’s so many different similarities in both the craft of archery and golf.

[@africanwidow]

Hi. Loved your discussion on learning. Great content on your set up, scope, and discussion with MFJJ. And nice job building the bow on your own and being open to feedback - once over. At this time, I am giving your vids a higher rating than Brandon McD. Learning more. And you are willing to help anyone. And great job going to a different bow... like this white PSE...for a different kind of shooting. Like the white!

[@kip.k]

Maybe its just me as a former golfer, but I think it would be kind of neat to do a video comparing and contrasting golf and archery. There is such a strong mental aspect to both, I think it would be interesting to hear your take.

[@danielroy5699]

I used to tell people, “you know that feeling when you get a decent drive off of the tee, thing settle and you get that super satisfying “crack” on impact? Archery gives you the same feeling, but a looooot more often”.

[@tylerwest337]

Cotton for the bow! Idk why that came up first. I love PSE though.

[@danielroy5699]

Tim, 2 video ideas for ya! There is a company called Mantis that does pistol and rifle dry fire training tools. One of their tools works on compound bows and seems to have all of the same stat tracking as the Mathews Shot Sense. Video 1: Mantis on the Supra with no stabs, short stabs, long stabs Video 2: Mantis on the Supra Shot Sense on MFJJ’s Title, compare and contrast Good luck on indoor, paper faces humble us all.

[@jackbuendgen389]

The most important things that'll help with getting a 300 are FORM and SHOT execution. I shot a 450 36x with BHFS set up at a local triple crown. Your form has to be rock solid and your thinking has to be louder than your thoughts. Good luck

[@YoureSoVane]

Check those limb pockets. PSE has made quite a few that are not square across many of their models.

[@ApexArchery]

Sometimes the elusive high score comes out of nowhere. I typically shoot about a 287-291, with 10-14X out of my hunting bow with microdiameter arrows. That said, last summer I had a random day where I shot a 299, 15X with the same setup. Haven't been able to replicate it since, and no explanation for why it happened. Just felt terrific that day and my pin was steady - almost felt easy.

[@drewolm]

Mr. Conner, appreciate the fact that your slinging with different bows. Nobody seems to make a bad bow these days and there's just so many out there. I have a favor to ask, since you have all the "jale" that's Spanish slang for "pull". Ask Josh Jones if he would consider making a 20" bar for the B stinger Counter Slide. Either Micro Hex or Standard. Those stabilizers, for me, totally eliminate the need for a back bar as far as a hunting setup or bowhunter class 3d setup. I've emailed and called and left messages to no avail. Realize there's not demand but I have to try. Replacing the 15" bar for a 20 would just be money for those stabilizers.

[@easternadventures4254]

When are Josh’s stabilizers going to be available? I just got into indoor as well shot my first league 600 Vegas this winter. Set up my older 35 ata hunting bow for indoor and need a good set of stabes!

[@brandonrodarte3658]

You should try Lancaster!

[@edgarsolorzano512]

Parts scattered everywhere!!??? I thought we were Mathews every time !@!

[@goelzprogram]

Love the channel and content, Tim! Playing devil's advocate, wouldn't going from shooting superior stabilization equipment indoors detract from accuracy in hunting situations? If you're used to perfect conditions, then direct exposure to suboptimal conditions should make you substantially less effective, right? I think target archery is fine but you have to make sure you transition back to a hunting setup/application and re-acclimate to those conditions in order to be a more effective bowhunter. I wish the target archery world would promote bowhunter setups over open because shooting a 300 or a perfect score is much more impressive and can directly correlate to better success in the field. Would love to hear your thoughts on open vs bowhunter class and why open gets all the praise/attention when bowhunter is truly more impressive and applicable.

[@TimConnor13]

That’s not been my experience.. time with a similar tool in hand only gives me more confidence and time with tool in hand

[@the_sharp_carpenter]

The eye squint is legit and needed sometimes depending how the light is hitting the pin/peep/face combo

You shooting the Stan ONNEX Clicker? I know in a previous video you started with it. Just wondered how you like it?

[@charleszielke2634]

Name the bow "TC300". Kinda a terminator thing. I love the race to 50,000 subs with Brandon. You both deserve 100,000 subs in my opinion. Now go put the TC300 to good use and tell Brandon, "It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and it will not stop, ever, until it beats you to 50,000 subs and a 300 score!"

[@royleerobinson5]

Dude you and I are basically at the same level on indoor scores. My average is 285 with a pb of like 291-293 I added some more weight to my back bar and I think I’m onto something for sure. But I’m shoot a bowhunter setup so I’m totally guessing at the 10 all I see is yellow and hope for the best lol

[@Mechanics.Life80]

I got it! Bow should be called "White Boy Rick".

[@jmcb5215]

Indoor will make you focus on your shot process more than anything. Once i started shooting 300 23x plus games my shot execution focus will slowly buy you an x at a time

[@rodwalburger41]

You could call your bow ( a long cool bow in a white dress) good video easier on a new shooter

[@ErinOrmiston]

Tim Get your marks an lets shoot the Evergreen course here soon

[@Silbar89]

Can you buy accuracy? Yes. Yes you can. I know people like to talk about it in terms of a bow's "forgiveness" but the reality for the majority of shooters is that means less aberration without perfect execution and to me that means it's simply more accurate. I'm not surprised to see someone from the golfing space dabble in high end archery equipment. You know the deal. I'd say own it unapologetically. It shows your commitment and dedication of your limited resources to improvement. Forget the haters. The question you and Josh should try to answer with your sub $1k bow build isn't "how accurate can it be?" It should be how good can you get if you just shot that bow because it's what you have. I would bet the answer turns out to be that a $1k bow build doesn't limit someone dedicated to it at all. The tradeoff is the # of arrows through it to meet the accuracy of a higher end bow right after building (or even just shooting a little) that higher end bow.

[@mikebarriga]

290 is equipment and skill the last ten points is mental.

🎯🎯🎯“The 300 Goal” = shoot 10,000 shots in 90 days you will or should average 298. You’ll have to define your shot process just like shooting a free throw in basketball…repeating the same thing everytime. Measure with a stop watch on your phone the amount of seconds you average from full draw to release…then measure the seconds you can aim until you begin to break down. Do this several times…let me know where you end up at this point…then I’ll take you to the next step…🎯🎯🎯
