I'm not the best, but I remember my dad watching me shoot and hit targets at distance with my recurve and he said, "Well, at least I know you won't go hungry." It is a good feeling.
@@lukec58397 This is true. That's why dogs got it made. In the wild, canines like wolves even as apex predators lose a lot of the time. They can go days or weeks starving til they get a kill or scavenge meat.
@@edrankin7001 When I lived in Colorado there was a time where I didn't eat that much, but I was working every day. I got used to it. As long as I had some water, maybe salt, I was fine. Lived in the mountains.
Sounds dumb but I have a pretty bad addiction to weed. Started in highschool been graduated 2 years now and havent missed a day of getting high. Currently attempting to stop and this was one of the hobbies my dad mentioned I pick up. I've always thought bows were dope and preferred them to guns but just never got my own. Awesome to hear you got sober and are having fun with archery!
I picked up my first compound bow just a year ago - a 400 dollar PSE starter bow. I found John through Joe Rogan, as so many others, and I went through his beginners classes youtube videos, over and over and over. He taught me how to adjust my draw length, draw weight and scope. Today, I confidently land 90 % of all arrows within a 10 inch diameter, at 30+ yards, with just basic beginners equipment at hand. I never had a coach. I never went to a club. I never had any help outside of John Dudley. I hope he knows how much he helps people all around the world. Much much appreciated🙏 /from Sweden
I’ve been shooting a bow for little over ten years and I have learned more from him in this past 2 years from listening to him, than I have in the entirety of my archery lifestyle. Thank you John Dudley! 🤘🏼 Nock On
Hunter Edwards whats his RUclips channel? Because the knock on channel only has a couple videos. Not too many instructionals. Or does he do a pod cast?
You learnt more in 20% of your short time shooting a bow than you did in the 80%? And you attribute it to listening to podcasts? Could it not be the 80/20 rule?
Dudley is a great seller. You don't even notice the ads when watching his content. Amazing in my point of view. In addition, he managed to resell the Carter Evolution release as a new release by cutting of the third finger. Brilliant! That's innovation at it's best. He is a true selling legend.
Great video. I am trying to learn to shoot a bow and don’t know where I would be without Dudley’s willingness to share information and educate newbies like myself.
To echo's Rogan's sentiment in this video, Dudley is undoubtedly the most influential figure in modern archery. Fundamentals and tactics used to be debated or kept secret. Dudley has put his experience out there for the world to learn from and it' had the direct effect of doubling and even tripling the effective range of the average archer who puts these teachings to work.
Dudley is amazing. And to think he teaches so much for free on RUclips and other social platforms. Great dude, hope to meet him someday and just shake his hand.
I remember when I was young they taught archery in junior high with a fiberglass long bow with a plastic handle. That was 58 years ago. I got pretty good with it and dad bought me my first and only recurve Fred Bear bow, 32 lb draw weight. I must have shot a hundred arrows a day. One day dad brought home a bow for him. It was a 48 lb draw weight Fred Bear recurve. He would come home from work and shoot 1 arrow, then put his bow up. Every day he did the same thing. One day I asked him why he only shot 1 arrow. He told me you only get one shot, it has to be right. We hunted with bows before it got popular in the mid 80’s. Loved hunting with my dad. I know how this guy feels!
I watched a lot of John's videos and him talking about using a handheld release gave me the confidence to try it. I shoot a three finger release and killed my biggest buck ever about a month ago. Really made me a more accurate shooter
I have learnt so much from Mr Dudley and his RUclips channel. I now shoot with a silverback release. Just wish I lived in the States and not Australia some times. Would love to meet the man, so much respect for him for what he is and has done for the community.
Hill, Pearson, Bear, Adams, Dougherty, Foulkrod They are legendary...this man has a ways to go. Depending on what you consider modern archery, Chuck Adams inspired the explosion of bow hunters in my generation...back when you had the whole wma/nwr to yourself during archery season!
Exactly and did it with fingers. I hadnt shot a compound in almost 20 years picked up one few year back and within minutes was all bullseyes, i dont know what they xall hard these bows shoot like shooting a rifle its to easy
I actually went as cheap as possible and bought a sit drag to couple with my muddy harness and attached a couple camo poncho bags to it to carry my ropes and made my own DIY saddle that I am anxious to try out this bow season. I have already climbed some trees with it and I am very pleased with how easy and fast it is to get in the tree and how versatile it is. Also I carry three of the longer lone wolf sticks with the seat off my lone wolf assault attached to the top of my third stick as my platform. Its tons lighter and faster so I am hoping to have success with it this season. Wish me luck!!
Thanks to Johns online course and videos, I started using one of his infamous words “critical” in my vocabulary. That single word changed everything about every shot I’ve taken since then. So many things can benefit from just changing your mind set to critical thinking. An amazing teacher and so grateful for him generously putting what he’s learned, out here for us and our future generations.- Nock🤘🏼On!
WOW! A Military Brat! I knew there was something special about you! I was a BRAT from '77-91" then I was a Marine from '91-97. Now I am building a national then international cooperative for total military food security via local veterans! Mob farming, transport, slaughterhouse then delivery - all by veterans and their families! Did I mention there is a hunting ground with deep discounts for active duty, veterans, and first season hunters? I will eventually be financially secure enough to help those who wish to enter hunting (archery) that don't have the means to do so! Each one teaches one!! At 6'6" and 350+, I have struggled to find equipment or even someone knowledgeable enough to teach someone of my size. I currently have Barry Hall of Newbury Archery in Goshen, CT. Problem is, I live just outside of Boston! And my hunting buddy currently resides between KS and MD! I'm all alone up here! But I put in the time and I'm learning on my own with input from your videos and mistakes I make. After hunting men (I was a HOG in the Corps after being a PIG at long distances) I wanted a challenge in hunting. No greater challenge than a front-row seat in hunting. Up close and personal. Thank you for all that you do! Semper Fi!
You are very lucky sir....Here in SA we live hand to mouth due to AA and BEE laws restricting our potential ...You guys get to follow any dream you have but here we have to fight for the little bit that's available. ...well done sir and appreciate what you have....God Bless
It's videos like these is why I don't bother anymore watching broadcast TV (except for NFL/NBA and Naked&Afraid) and what not I'll tell you what. Love the energy, innovation and culture of modern archery and hunting!!
I haven't gotten my 1st deer. I have been hunting for 15 years. I just love going through all the steps. And I decided that I just love shooting my bow. I watch all his stuff. He is by far the at the top of his game. His is a steward of his passion.
Dudley is really unbelievable. By simply incorporating his suggested bow grip techniques and using his custom arrows from Nock on Archery have made a tremendous difference in my shooting. Thank you, John Dudley.
Dudley is beyond phenomenal, an absolute LEGEND at his craft. Between him and Rogan , I think millions of poeple got into the lifestyle. Me included. God bless America.
this was very nice movie to see your history thru archery and bow hunting ,and your Nock on clips are awsome and im learning new things all the time ,i have been shooting different styles of bows for 20 years and still shoot traditionell bows but mostly my PSE shootdown thanks for your knowledge
Awesome video, I do credit John Dudley and his videos for being a large factor in my becoming a better archer and bowhunter. I also switched to back tension shooting while hunting, and have never been soo accurate as I have this season. I have been bowhunting for about 10 years
when you work hard, you are rewarded. mr dudley is a rare breed, and that is to be commended, especially considering they times in which we live. joe rogan, the man is all over the map like a laser, and on point. good find, thank you.
Not ashamed to throw my hat in with the many who like myself were inspired and given tutorials via Knock On TV and John Dudley! Dude is truly an Elite Bowman in fact he may be The Best Bowman ever!😉
Literally can't stand Toe Rogan but respect you sir. The reason I commented, when you said you left the USA team because the league changed schedules to overlap elk hunting season. Brother... Mad respect.
Only bow I ever shot was in the scouts 40 years ago and one day a Dudley/TAC video popped up as a RUclips suggestion. It was the hight of the COVID lockdowns, I am self employed so my stress level already was off the charts and loosing gyms, bike parks, +trails were so full I could not ride local either... I needed to find something to do! Watched a few more of his videos and decided I wanted to try archery and specifically go to Total Archery Challenge so I order a new old stock Elite and some arrows... With his videos and lots of practice I did much better than I had imagined I could in such a short time....only lost/broke 3 arrows doing Leupold and YETI twice each the weekend I was at the PA TAC (one of the broken arrows was the Iron novelty shoot :) ) I now have 3 bows, and I will doing my 3rd TAC in August, joining our local archery club... went from using all of a 36" bail at 50 yards to hitting a paper plates at 100 yards from doing Dudley school of nock.
Thanks JD, for sharing your knowledge. an instruction on the proper way of Shooting a compound bow! That's also all the other fine info on arrows an so forth with the equipment that go's with it. Rock On! GOD Bless you an familia.
His teachings are so superb I’ve been able to pass on his knowledge and watch it progress in people and more importantly, watch it work. On a side note, Rogan looks like a professional skull crusher. Great video.
Great video/documentation - amazing story! Awesome!! *On a completely different note - What video editing software do you use!? I have many videos on RUclips - but After I lost MS Movie Maker several years ago - I can not find a good user friendly editing software!? Anyone - help/suggest! Thanks in advance.
Honestly such a bad ass story and upbringing, everyone has their own interpretations on his story and stuff but in my mind I see him as a child being taught at a young age to hunt with his family and as he gets older he takes on his apprenticeship with these other professional shooters and goes on to become one of the worlds best archers and winning medals and tournaments mastering the art of the bow and arrow , he realizes that hunting and the feeling of being out on the mountain stalking animals is what he loves doing. He goes on to train his body and mind to withstand the harsh conditions of the weather and nature. He then goes on to master the mountains, the animals, his body, his mind, his bow, and becomes a real hunting master. This guy is the real deal the best of the best, the amount of work he puts in to working out for these hunts is incredible and then he goes and tracks and stalks animals climbing mountains, walking through the dense woods, and walking up massive hill sides for miles and miles and miles. He has the natural talent He has the experience He has put in all the work He keeps on grinding
Nock on Brother ! I'm 57 years old and Deer Hunted since I was 10 with my Dad in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina . My first Bow was a Fred Bear 30lb Long bow and learned to instinct shoot from there ! I've become sorta of go to guy in my area because i learned to read the woods and Listen to what was being said . I went where no one else cared to go because it was Miles or Thick cover or too much for the masses. And i may not bring out but one ,,, but whata one ! I was third in N.C. for several yrs. with shooting a 548 lb black Bear with a rifle in 2012. And to be honest I woulda had the record for Bow with him ,but wouldn't take that 40yd shot which is all he would give me . But Now at 57 ,,, I'm enduring 4 back surgeries 01 total Total disk replacement in my neck . stainless right ankle , bad knees and this year I gave up Bow Hunting and Bought a Barnett 410 ghost,,, it's cool in the yard at 410 fps,,, but it's loud and not my Matthews Legacy ... I've already put a 8 on the ground with a rifle ,,, but it's not Bow hunting .... I hurt Constantly ,,,, but I know it's not getting better sitting here ... I may have to get that Legacy out and start shooting again ... watching this video , I don't think I'm ready to be put out to pasture yet ,,, Be ever mindful of what the timber is saying and take the time to listen ,,,, Nock On ! Brother !
The whole "archery hunting is just find the animal and put an arrow in it" is something i was told many times. I told them the rifle is the easiest to take an animal. The general hunter around here gets their rifle out about 2 weeks before season, checks zero then harvest an animal. Meanwhile i was spending everyday after work putting 40 to 60 arrows on target so i could keep my muscles in tune so i knew that when the shot, during deer or whatever i was hunting, presented itself that my shot was on target. My first deer was a doe 2 months after being in Iraq. I spent every day from homecoming to that kill practicing. She walked out of some brush at 15 yards and i put that arrow thru her lungs and she dropped less than 50 yds away. The sheer adrenaline rush and so called hunters high was beyond belief. I was in tears to be able to bring all the practice and determination to a successful freezer fill.
You just said it all, brother. And Dudley is an inspiration in so many ways. But I bet you didn't down your first deer or your last one with a $200 "custom" release. I'm all about a man being rewarded financially for his hard work, but....really? (I love your comment either way lol!)
@@craigbrewer433 I like them, but then my standards aren't all that high. I started shooting a bow when I was 14, won a few tournaments, but didn't hunt until I got older. I just want an arrow that fits me and flies straight. The manufacturing and technology is SO much better than when I started I feel like anything I buy is better than I had 35 years ago, and even with those heavy old aluminum arrows, a cheap Indian "Archer" and 3 pin sights (no peep) I managed to put thousands of shots into the bull. So it's all gravy these days! lol
Man this is one of the best videos I’ve seen. And master Dudley is a great man with so much knowledge that the man has no problem sharing #nockonnation 🤘🏻
This video was very inspiring! I just started bow hunting and have been watching all the School of Nock videos. Thank you for all the great information!
Another archer to check out is Lars Andersen. He has studied ancient texts and manuscripts of archery when it began. He can shoot.3 arrows in .6 seconds. He is truly phenomenal. Check out his video on youtube. You will be amazed
@@tbsarchery479 trust me I would love some of his products and I'm sure they may have an effect on my shot groups. However that is a huge amount to pay for something machine made and mass produced. I can't help but feel like he's using his name and status to get money from people. We hunt for meat here. We are not rich. All I'm saying is the average meat hunter isn't rocking knock on for one reason.
So Carter makes his releases and if you look around thru eBay or different Facebook groups you can find used Carter versions for cheaper, now they're mostly 3 finger versions and there is not straight up equivalent to the 2smooth. I bought a Carter evolution (3 finger version of silverback) for just over a hundred used off of a Facebook group. Also, his releases arent necessarily the best, I enjoy watching target archery and I've never seen one of the top target archers use any of his releases. Lots of Scott Longhorn Pros and I found a used one in great shape for 50 bucks.
Craig Staley this is America. Capitalism at its finest. People will buy those releases of his, and they are worth the price. But his legacy lies in his school of nock series. Not his gear. Dud has to make a living and I’ll buy his gear to pay for the free RUclips coaching I get from him.
I'm not the best, but I remember my dad watching me shoot and hit targets at distance with my recurve and he said, "Well, at least I know you won't go hungry." It is a good feeling.
You can be a good shot and still go hungry
@@lukec58397 This is true. That's why dogs got it made. In the wild, canines like wolves even as apex predators lose a lot of the time. They can go days or weeks starving til they get a kill or scavenge meat.

John Dudley is an icon in archery. There is no one that shows more, in detail, step by step, on how to become a better archer.
Anthony C Sean Mcveigh has some great tutuorials as well, but you are correct
John D is legit..hands down best to me..learned so much from his videos
Great video. I am trying to learn to shoot a bow and don’t know where I would be without Dudley’s willingness to share information and educate newbies like myself.
I have a Mathews Conquest signed by John from years ago when we visited the Mathews plant. He was my favorite archer.
To echo's Rogan's sentiment in this video, Dudley is undoubtedly the most influential figure in modern archery. Fundamentals and tactics used to be debated or kept secret. Dudley has put his experience out there for the world to learn from and it' had the direct effect of doubling and even tripling the effective range of the average archer who puts these teachings to work.
Shop owner pulled a miyagi on him. Gotta go to my local pro shop and ask if they need a free fletcher :D
Lawl nice one 😂
More like a Jordan belforth
Dudley has taught me so much! very glad he gives so much free info!
Love johns videos, got me from 0 experience on a bow and now 8 months later I’m getting ready for my first hunt on the west coast!

First you rock, then you rock hard, then you rock on. And on. That’s John Dudley. A man of complex simplicity. Rock on, brother, rock on. 🤘

This guy is the real deal the best of the best, the amount of work he puts in to working out for these hunts is incredible and then he goes and tracks and stalks animals climbing mountains, walking through the dense woods, and walking up massive hill sides for miles and miles and miles.
He has the natural talent
He has the experience
He has put in all the work
He keeps on grinding
Can’t wait to get out there this fall and put my passion to work in the bush
I’d love to see joe commentate archery competitions.

What’s the song at the beginning of this video?? 🧐
Nock on Brother ! I'm 57 years old and Deer Hunted since I was 10 with my Dad in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina . My first Bow was a Fred Bear 30lb Long bow and learned to instinct shoot from there ! I've become sorta of go to guy in my area because i learned to read the woods and Listen to what was being said . I went where no one else cared to go because it was Miles or Thick cover or too much for the masses. And i may not bring out but one ,,, but whata one ! I was third in N.C. for several yrs. with shooting a 548 lb black Bear with a rifle in 2012. And to be honest I woulda had the record for Bow with him ,but wouldn't take that 40yd shot which is all he would give me . But Now at 57 ,,, I'm enduring 4 back surgeries 01 total Total disk replacement in my neck . stainless right ankle , bad knees and this year I gave up Bow Hunting and Bought a Barnett 410 ghost,,, it's cool in the yard at 410 fps,,, but it's loud and not my Matthews Legacy ... I've already put a 8 on the ground with a rifle ,,, but it's not Bow hunting .... I hurt Constantly ,,,, but I know it's not getting better sitting here ... I may have to get that Legacy out and start shooting again ... watching this video , I don't think I'm ready to be put out to pasture yet ,,, Be ever mindful of what the timber is saying and take the time to listen ,,,, Nock On ! Brother !

Wut instrumental was at the beggining??? That shit lowkey sounded dopee
What was the captain America shield thing ? Anyone ?
The whole "archery hunting is just find the animal and put an arrow in it" is something i was told many times. I told them the rifle is the easiest to take an animal. The general hunter around here gets their rifle out about 2 weeks before season, checks zero then harvest an animal. Meanwhile i was spending everyday after work putting 40 to 60 arrows on target so i could keep my muscles in tune so i knew that when the shot, during deer or whatever i was hunting, presented itself that my shot was on target.
My first deer was a doe 2 months after being in Iraq. I spent every day from homecoming to that kill practicing. She walked out of some brush at 15 yards and i put that arrow thru her lungs and she dropped less than 50 yds away. The sheer adrenaline rush and so called hunters high was beyond belief. I was in tears to be able to bring all the practice and determination to a successful freezer fill.
You just said it all, brother. And Dudley is an inspiration in so many ways. But I bet you didn't down your first deer or your last one with a $200 "custom" release. I'm all about a man being rewarded financially for his hard work, but....really? (I love your comment either way lol!)
@@jakemitchell1671 i used a $600 Darton bow with a $30 cobra wrist strap release. All with cheap $2 walmart carbon arrows
@@craigbrewer433 LOVE IT!! I still use a Mission bow, and I bet I own 2 dozen of those Walmart arrows!
@@jakemitchell1671 i swore by them when i used them. Better than the Easton arrows or even the Carbon Express
@@craigbrewer433 I like them, but then my standards aren't all that high. I started shooting a bow when I was 14, won a few tournaments, but didn't hunt until I got older. I just want an arrow that fits me and flies straight. The manufacturing and technology is SO much better than when I started I feel like anything I buy is better than I had 35 years ago, and even with those heavy old aluminum arrows, a cheap Indian "Archer" and 3 pin sights (no peep) I managed to put thousands of shots into the bull. So it's all gravy these days! lol
He's amazing, this showcased it perfectly! He's my favorite dude!!! Born to teach!
Does this guy restring bows I got a old original, Myles Keller Legend Magnum Compound Bow havent shot in like 30 years
Man this is one of the best videos I’ve seen. And master Dudley is a great man with so much knowledge that the man has no problem sharing #nockonnation 🤘🏻
Wow! Inspiration. Respect 🤘🏼. Excellent video, thank you 😊
You only get so many archery elk seasons in your life.....
300 Win Mag Exactly!!!!
Facts
As a new archer, I’ve learned invaluable info from this guy!
This video was very inspiring! I just started bow hunting and have been watching all the School of Nock videos. Thank you for all the great information!
I had never seen this channel....I haven't shot in years. But loved it when I did.
Iowa proud!
John is such a badass! Appreciate his guidance!
I'm looking to buy my first compound bow. Can anyone recommend a brand or model for a first time bow shooter
I'm a Mathews guy but there are lots of good brands. go to your local pro shop and shoot a several and see what you like.
4:29 Thanks for blowing my ear-drums out. Other than that great video keep it up.
Did John say he's from Mississippi? Me too! Still hunt there
Another archer to check out is Lars Andersen. He has studied ancient texts and manuscripts of archery when it began. He can shoot.3 arrows in .6 seconds. He is truly phenomenal. Check out his video on youtube. You will be amazed
thank you , here from Denmark
Great video! John Dudley is a beast!
Hello John...did you ever hunt elk in the mountains of Washington state like 09 10
What a great video and life story!!!
If John Dudley wanted to help me he could make it so I didn't have to finance one of his releases. I'm a veteran not a doctor.
@@tbsarchery479 I'm sure the price has nothing to do with greed.
@@tbsarchery479 trust me I would love some of his products and I'm sure they may have an effect on my shot groups. However that is a huge amount to pay for something machine made and mass produced. I can't help but feel like he's using his name and status to get money from people. We hunt for meat here. We are not rich. All I'm saying is the average meat hunter isn't rocking knock on for one reason.
@@tbsarchery479 there is no doubt about that
So Carter makes his releases and if you look around thru eBay or different Facebook groups you can find used Carter versions for cheaper, now they're mostly 3 finger versions and there is not straight up equivalent to the 2smooth. I bought a Carter evolution (3 finger version of silverback) for just over a hundred used off of a Facebook group.
Also, his releases arent necessarily the best, I enjoy watching target archery and I've never seen one of the top target archers use any of his releases. Lots of Scott Longhorn Pros and I found a used one in great shape for 50 bucks.
Craig Staley this is America. Capitalism at its finest. People will buy those releases of his, and they are worth the price. But his legacy lies in his school of nock series. Not his gear. Dud has to make a living and I’ll buy his gear to pay for the free RUclips coaching I get from him.
