Glad you found it!!! I met them at the first shoot I ever went to. And we’ve been able to meet up and shoot together a few times!!

All the longbows in this video are Bear Montanas.

Keep the faith. There aren’t many in Maine so you have to be willing to travel a little bit. But more interest will only help the community grow. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for checking it out. I hope to have another video or two up pretty soon.

I am using a safari tuff split finger tan.

It’s an absolute blast!! Wish I could do it more often.

I’ll bring a range finder for the next one. Thanks for watching

I shoot instinctive.

The instinctive shots were very inconsistent. You could tell the one guy in the group that aims was very consistent and could go hunting ethically with his bow. The rest of the guys should not shoot at live animals. But it looked like a fun shoot.

@@samgauvine7816 I won’t be shooting at animals bud, I was shooting for fun, I use a 243 for deer not a bow, instead of negative stuff why don’t you encourage to learn more or practice🙏

Funny how for 100,00 odd years, mankind used bows instinctively at close range to hunt and for defense, yet now some people like to constantly preach about ethics. This was a 3D shoot.

@@Saltwatercrackers34434 The name of the game is FUN ... personally if I'm not having fun with my archery no matter how good or bad my shots are, I would find a new hobby/ sport! And the best thing about watching this video is that you all looked like you were enjoying it! That to me is the name of the game! Thanks for sharing this and God bless you all. PS the only negative thing I could say about this shoot is that I wasn't there!

I enjoy stump shooting as well. I might do a stump shooting video in the future

Thank you sir!!! Any idea if they’re doing a winter shoot?

@@TheOkayestOutdoorsman not sure yet. I should get an email if so. If not, will hope for Spring.

Thanks buddy

Thank you sir hope to see you again at the next shoot

The old man in the blue has a wicked bald spot, may I advise him getting a wig?

Perhaps instead of a wig he needs a Crossbow so he can hit something. :)

Thank you I’m glad you like it.

ETAR 2024...

It was a pleasure meeting you. I sat down this morning to start editing. I am hoping the club does a winter shoot this year. I’d love to try filming that with a larger group of shooters.

I think it’s maybe 10 dollars to enter. They have another shoot coming up. July 8/9 it’s going to be a 2 day event but I’ll probably only be able to make one day.

😂😂

Maine is vastly different. But Arizona has its gifts as well.

@@TheOkayestOutdoorsman Gifts???s rattle snske behind every rock or a scorpion or a drug runner ??? If those are gifts..we can do without them. Arizona is not a good place to be!!!

@@raginroadrunner yeah I meant the saguaro cactus and the Chiricahua mountains.

@@TheOkayestOutdoorsman Both of those are worthless.

Thanks for the compliment!!! The guy in the white tee shirt hadn’t shot in quite a while but he went out and gave it his best just the same. Snow has melted away in Maine so hopefully I can take the Widow to another match soon. Thanks for watching!!

@@TheOkayestOutdoorsman Aye! Thanks for the content. It's gets kinda hard to find good fun archery on youtube. Keep it up man!

That last word should be shot

Thank you for the feedback. There should be another shoot coming up soon. I’ll film it from a left side perspective and see if I can incorporate some sort of action camera for shot placement footage.

After the group is done shooting we all walk down range together to pull arrows and help others find their arrows. I think his father said he hadn’t shot a bow in 2 years. But he still came out and gave it a try.

Dan, have you ever been to a 3D shoot? Ever shot a bow? Missing and hunting for arrows is half the fun. You may want to watch the video again... the kid nailed quite a few right out of the gate. Everyone misses. That is why it's a challenge to shoot traditional recurves and longbows without sights, string walking or 2 foot stabilizers. Not everyone goes to the range to win a trophy. Some of us just enjoy having fun.

Thank you!! This is the only 3D range over ever been to. I still have a lot to learn but it sure is a lot of fun.

@@TheOkayestOutdoorsman I live overseas so no ranges here, I shoot trad on my 2.5 acre hobby farm. Next time I come to Maryland or Florida I plan on giving it a try. There is a range near my son in laws place near Baltimore.

Those are wool string silencers. They just help to quiet the bow down a bit.

On the Bear longbow, Kodiak Magnum and Supermagnum 48 we have "Beaverballs" from 3 Rivers Archery attached.

Thanks Fred!!!

I don’t know of any trad ranges in the area. I heard there was one in houlton but it has since closed.

This range is in Durham in between Brunswick and Lewiston. I know Old Town Archery has an indoor range but I don’t think they have anything set up for outdoor. That’s probably the closest to Bangor.

The long bow being used is a Bear Montana pulling #35. The two smaller recurves are I think Bear Kodiak Mags at #40/45. My bow is a Black Widow PCHX drawing #50.

@@TheOkayestOutdoorsman Thanks, appreciate your reply. One of the bows shows the deer burr knobs on the belly side of the riser/limbs . . . usually they are on the back side . . . was curious about their location . . . is that the Black Widow bow?

@@resoluteretreat1532 Yes sir that’s the Black Widow. The limbs attach to the belly side of the riser as well.

Black Widow as mentioned & Bear Montana 35#, Vintage Bear early 70's green Kodiak Magnum 45# and 2021 Bear Supermag 48 in 40#.

Interesting video being from ME!!! Suggestions on places to go try out some trad bows since I’m about to switch over from compounds?

Thanks buddy!! Can’t wait to do it again.

Thank you very much!!

Pretty happy with his performance. He didn’t let that miss get into his head at all.

Sixgunning.com no I was in West Texas.
