Jeff: at Lancaster I just came across a new arrow that reads good. Altra Centrum 204 seamless 7.7gpi ever tested that one? A touch cheaper than the Airstrike too

I need help figuring out a really good recurve to hunt with that will not break my bank. I love Black widow but they cost way to much. Please help. God bless you

It is called the Mediterranean draw. I never practiced the three under because it always felt goofy. You are describing the unconscious aiming. Your mind sees a sight picture and by looking at the place you want to hit, you are putting it in the sight picture. For beginners-In the last couple of inches of draw there is a 'V' formed by the arrow shaft and the sight window or side of the bow. A target bullseye looks bigger at ten yards so the archer cants the bow to open up the 'V'. At thirty yards it looks smaller so the cant is decreased. Geometrically, canting reduces the vertical distance between the arrow and your eye. This is an unconscious elevation adjustment. I would teach youngsters by having them look at an object then close their eyes and point at the object without moving their head and eyes. When they open their eyes, they are amazed that they are pointing at the object.

Thanks Jeff , is your nock height still 5/8 inch higher than the rest ? .

We are the same age, Jeff🏹

Like to see the same video with this bow but for a 3d/target arrow setup.

just got mine today, nice but I dont think it is as good as my Oberon. Does seem to be noisy!

@instinctiveaddictionarcher8988 WOW! Thank you for sharing all this info. I have learned a lot. I also am unable to use a higher poundage Bow, anymore. So, I would like to start shooting again, using a lighter poundage Bow., 30# or 35# Do you have a website/contact info., for ordering Arrows, and any other accessories? A special thanks, for including our Lord and Saviour, in all that you do... God Bless

I’m almost catching everything that you are saying. I’ll need to go back and write things down and purchase that way. Does length of arrow matter?

Then the bow you demonstrated is not exactly what you get in the package, it's a personized, improved version.Please demonstrate the bow exacly as received. A custom string is not cheap.

Thx again sir. Love your video content, it seems so applicable to my situation. I am of the minority group in the Trad click amongst the masses of the compound bow shooters up at the range. I just keep at it, perfecting the old school ways, it’s so good for my soul, can’t explain it, always been like that

Excellent video. What quiver do you use?

I wish they weren’t Chinese made

Such a great video! Thank you for putting this together, super helpful

Excellent info ..............

At what draw length does this thing stack? 30? 31?

This guy is a fountain of knowledge.

Why are you shooting it off the shelf I shot the flipper rest on my compound for years with no sights just so happened you liked it as well so I already had 3 or 4 in my archery box and it shoots awesome off my 60" Hermit and that's how I'm going to hunt with it just wondering why you went back to the shelf

Is a longbow compared to a recurve feel the same as far as the same draw weight? I have been looking at a custom hill style bow and was wondering. Thjs

8:01 8:03 8:04 8:04 8:05 Have you ever shot the southwest archeries ghost takedown longbow and if you have What is your thought on it

Jeff I ordered a Sanlida Hermit x10 after watching this video, and my question is what materials did you use for your rest? Thanks for your videos they help me to improve my traditional bow hunts.

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.

Spent ten minutes selling the viewer a $200 saw. Wood and carbon shafts put your dremel in a vice, turn it on, and cut a dozen shafts in five minutes, with aluminum shafts use a 5$ mini pipe cutter and zip through the tubing in the same 5-10 minutes. Been cutting aluminum shafts with a little hand held pipe cutter for 50 years. Also, maybe I missed it but I didn’t see mention of cleaning shafts with acetone or denatured alcohol prior to applying wraps. Why use super glue for fletching and then use Fletch Tite for leading bead?? Fletch Tite is the only glue I’ve used to fletch my arrows for, you guessed it, about 50 years. A good instructional video other than the heavy handed saw sales pitch.

Like that I will try it

Gaining confidence in being able to shoot and hit accurately using instinctive shooting comes with PRACTICE. Lots and lots of practice. Why do basketball coaches run free throw shooting drills over and over again for every player on the team? It's one of the "easy" shots in the sport yet frequent practice hones shooting ability, increases success, and builds confidence. Same thing with shooting a bow instinctively. We all need constant PRACTICE. Having said that, I tell archers to STOP WORRYING about all the process of shooting instinctively. It will develop and improve over time if you just PRACTICE. Here's something to think about. I have been shooting the SAME Bear Kodiak Magnum recurve bow instinctively for 56 years. You can see my bow and me shooting it on my channel. I'm 71 now and still hunting with it, despite having congestive heart failure. After that much time, and using the same bow, I am readily able to shoot decent groups which work well for deer hunting. I promise if an archer continues to shoot several THOUSAND arrows per year in practice for 56 years YOU WILL GET GOOD at shooting instinctively. You also won't have much trouble as you age continuing to pull and hold the bow. It will just feel natural to you as your muscles will remain strong. Try shooting 5 groups of 6 arrows during a daily session. Don't over do your shooting as too many shots can result in bad shots, which does NOTHING to build technique. Shoot 30 arrows today, then 30 more tomorrow. And do that 3 to 5 days per week if you can....year round if possible. My point here is if you shoot thousands of arrows in a consistent practice routine, you will develop proficiency. Your body will develop muscle memory that helps you follow good form, anchor properly, and do all the things you need to do. Your brain will develop a subconscious memory of what worked and what did not work. The day will come, for some quicker than others, when an archer will simply step up, nock an arrow, draws, anchors, and releases all in one nice smooth process, much like a golfer teeing off. Amazingly your arrows will start hitting where you want them to hit. First at one distance, then at multiple distances, angles, positions, etc. It does require plenty of practice however. So stop worrying and obsessing. Just make your practice sessions FUN and stick with it. Good luck to all.

I have primarily shot an elevated rest on my recurves. I recently started shooting off the shelf because I bought a new Black widow. However, I think I’m going to go back to the elevated rest I have shot. The best stick on elevated rest ever made was the old Hoyt Pro Flex rest which NEET made one for a few years but stopped making there’s also. So I learned how to make them myself out of a milk jug, leather and double sided tape. I wanna see your video of the stick on version.

Deadmeats hit exactly where u aim with tons of blood!

can you use and install broadhead with this bow?

I just put on the same elevated rest on the same bow. I shoot split finger and would like to know since the arrow and nocking point is higher, how much should the positive tiller be higher than 1/8 of an inch? Also, would the nocking point change? Thanks.

Thanks for the video. I just boiught the same bow and put an elevated rest on it. How much tiller would put you on the top limb now since it is higher. How much higher than an 1/8 of an inch since I shoot split finger. Thanks.

I'm interested in getting me one of those, can you send me Mike's info

Can’t tune an arrow til you have good bow form. Thats step 1. He’s not there so any readings could be off

Great video! I just purchased this based on your excellent review. What Brace Height are you running? The online manual says 7"-8" I am running it at 7.5 . Seems to be ok. Your thoughts? I am using it for target only and have the 35lb version. I am getting back into it. I have not shot since the mid-80s. I don't know why I waited this long, I am having a blast. lol

hi mr jeff.. if you do the test with a smaller shaft then the bevel of the 2 blade broadhead the 2 blade penetration is better then the 3 blade but to each his own..have a great day

Thank you for these super informative videos Jeff! As a beginner that couldn't understand anything that you say two weeks ago, I'm starting to get the thing, but... I still confused when you usually use the GT Warrior 500 spine as a good example, ( 7.4GPI x28" shaft=207.2gr +250gr total point weight = 457.2gr arrow) but also say that the ideal arrow weight for hunting would be 550gr arrow, or at least 500gr arrow weight, for a #43 to #45 bow. My question is, on that arrow set-up, would be possible to add more point weight to reach those sweet 500gr-550gr (it means going above 250gr point) or would be necessary to go down to 400 spine, for a 300gr total point weight?

Hi Jeff thanks for amazing video!! I should have my trad bow in the next week or so.. looking forward to getting into it.. Videos like these are a godsend because i dont know anything about shooting a trad bow but im sure willing to learn..God bless you my friend for showing us the way to traditional archery.. ive taken 25 deer with a compound and if im shooting good with me black hunter recurve by october i might take it to the stand cut this fall i will probably be more after grouse with the recurve!!

How about using the different weights and shot into a fresh bale of hay to compare penetration? I was shooting 10-12 grains per pound cedar arrow vs a fishing arrow that weighed approx 1300 grains. (Bow pull weight = 45#) The fishing exhibited a lot of drop at 18 yards, but penetrated the fresh hay bales approximately 50% more than the cedar arrows. FWIW

Okay how do I contact this guy how do I find out what kind of bows he has and how much do they cost

What brands etc to go for if i want speed in a recurve (lengt need ti be 68” og 70” cause og my drawlengt, (and live in Europe -denmark)

Hi mister addictive Archer . 😊 whats the most normal poundage u shoot (actual in hand when firring)

Awesome 👍 Congratulations brother 👍

Wish I could have seen you do the torch and glue stick 😊

Outstanding it is legal and God puts it in front of me it's going to go home with me you can't eat the antlers man

Shooting Yellowstone renegade 62 inch 25 inch draw 45 lb I've been using the Black eagle 500 spine cut to 28 in I put 175 grain point 14 grain insert in two 30gr weights can you help

Jeff it really helped me. I was all over the place but grouping arrows much better now!🏹

The first two shots the right hand swings out, plucking , whatever, not straight back lol. Hey don't matter as long as you're hitting where you're staring at. Dead on!

My feelings are there are more archers shooting 35-45lbs than we have seen in a long time. Why?? Mainly because traditional shooting has evolved back around to a more formal draw, anchor slowly pull through execution. Where what I seen when I was younger was MANY guys shooting bow wayyyy to heavy for them and they were grip it and rip it, short drawing snap shooters. Because they was over bowed. That has seemed to be fading out. I now see guys working through shot execution and holding at draw longer than I ever had previously seen. I have been to a lot of tradition shoots over the years. And I would venture to say 80% or more were over bowed….

I believe that Michigan has a 40# limit.

Love that Standard Ol Battle Bow! I enjoyed how you were talking about the instinctive small aim point against the dark background, that’s the only way I can group well, I use a wiffle practice golf ball up against the black backstop at the range, and literally the first time I did that I hit the dang ball, I couldn’t believe it, I have guys that still talk about that today, with a small group of arrows all grouped around that wiffle practice golf ball. When I use the paper targets and things aren’t grouping, I automatically go back to the wiffle golf ball, against the black backdrop of the backstop wall, it works every time💯 the ole, Aim Small, Miss Small 🎯

Dude amazing video!! You just talked me onto trying a trad bow!! just going to try a black hunter recurve at 40 lbs and see what happens.. i shot recurve bows as a child but since i started bowhunting i got serious about compound bows !! You are so right about shooting archery is a huge stress relief for me for sure!! i take mt atv and my target back into the woods miles away from anyone and just shoot!! Best feeling ever and no one on earth knows where i am !! A truly freeing incredible sport!! Its always good to be an archer!! Thats for sure !!
