I've been shooting for 15 years and even I found this video helpful for me to go back and break bad habits I've picked up over the years! Thanks brother.
great video as we have come to expect.....the "ranging " of a animal is especially critical when "longer shots" are involved due to the greater arrow drop....learned that the hard way
Thanks a lot for the tips. I just got started into archery and been watching videos on the subject in the past 2 days. Your videos are informational and short which is really great, and that's exactly why I just subscribed.
Really enjoyed this video. Trying to figure out how to properly site my bow and get it set up for hunting season and your channel is probably the number 1 channel I refer to. thanks for all the content you have put out
1:59 is how Eric from the Hushin RUclips channel shoots. Always thought it was odd but he hits accurate shots from long distances. One of those things you would never recommend to a new archer but some people find success with. I'd imagine it comes down to consistency, if you can repeat it every time then you can adjust your sight to be accurate that way, within reason of course.
Would love video that breaks down proper stance step by step. Or similar to this one with stance mistakes (for example elbow placement, hip hinging when in a tree stand etc.). Love the videos! :)
I've been holding my release hand wrong. I have been gripping the strap, instead of letting the strap grip me, and not slowly releasing it too. Look forward to having a crack tomorrow now!
Great video I’ve been keeping my release hand open ( this is my second year in archery and archery hunting) after watching your video I can see keeping everything relaxed is going to be more consistent. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Good luck this season God bless and keep smiling
I wish you was my bow tech , you have reason you explain things and your all around a good person from the way it seems . Maybe cause it that I'm all tattooed and people don't take me seriously but the local bow tech won't help me for nothing and is always short and won't truly help us newer archers . I am actually a really nice person and just love archery and the tournament shooting holds my main interest. I just wish I could get the help I need as a new archer.
I've been practicing all summer long and while my shot placement has been getting better, I have struggled to stay consistent and was not feeling great going into this archery season. But after watching this video I checked my release and found I had it way too far out. I shortened it up and it helped IMMENSELY! My anchor point feels much more stable, I can hold the pin on target much easier and my shots are way more accurate because of it. Thanks for the tips!!!!!!!!!
I’m a bowyer and I shoot primitive equipment. With my shorter bows I would just have a floating anchor point with minimal accuracy. Now that I shoot longer bows I have an anchor point at 28” draw length. I think my biggest problem with accuracy out to 25 yards is when I build arrows I tend to have problems with the spine. I either build them to thick or too thin. I agree though, a good anchor point and a fluid release is important.
Great videos man, I am totally new to archery, I would love to start out with a compound bow and eventually hunt with it. Too bad I live in the Netherlands though where that isn't allowed and/or possible even. Keep it up & stay safe 😎👍
I set up bows for customers in large outdoor store and when I am explaining arrow spines, it is not only picking the correct spine for the poundage you are shooting, but it is also a big safety issue. Common spines are 340, 400, 500, etc. A 340 spine is stiffer than a 500. The higher the poundage you are shooting, like 70 lbs on your bow, you should be shooting most likely a 340 Arrow length, cams, etc play a part in the selection. If you shoot a 70 lb bow and shoot a very flexible arrow, say a 500, there is a good chance you will end up with that arrow snapping right after leaving your string, and possibly, ending up stuck in your arm, which could actually be life threatening if it hit an artery, so that is a major safety issue. I am always mindful of that, especially with a new person, since they are new, and know no better. I feel I would not be doing due diligence in my job, and that person, if I did not point this out to them..
Hello i live in country, there we dont have any bow shops, so i have been looking alot on the web. Looking for a compound bow, and you video have help me alot learn. What bow will you recommend for a beginner.
All was useful but my bow says to use 420spline but having problems finding them so have been using 350spline but was looking on RUclips to try to get answers of why my it seems like my whisker biscuit is messing up my fletchings?
Im semi new to archery and i have a regular recurve that fits me well, no fancy releases or anything, but i keep having a problem where my arrows hit the target where im aiming- but at an angle? The arrows seem to sorta stick into the target as if id shot them from somewhere else. How do i make them fly straight?
Thankyou. Verry helpfull. I love going out hunting even if I dont see anything it a great chance to think and enjoy God's beauty. Thanks again for thoes helpful tips.
This video should be included with every bow sold. Only thing I would add...is most people are over bowed. Sit in a lawn chair,with your hunting gear on,and lower your poundage until you can draw comfortably holding your bow completely level.
I have a question that I’ve been wondering since I started shooting a bow. With your release hand, how far back or where should your elbow be in height and angle?
As close to level with the arrow as you can get it. You don't want it at a 45deg angle to the line of the arrow, but somewhere between 0-25deg is what I've found to be optimal. But everyone is different! It comes down to comfort and consistency for you and your bow.
I own a used bow I bought also shooting 3 my buddy owns everything I shoot I hit to the right. We have bottomed out the sight adjustments on every bow I still hit to the right. What could I be doing wrong?
That bow is set up at least a half an inch long if not longer. You should try getting your string to cross in front of your nose and the corner of your mouth. It will eliminate the excessive string pressure that your nose is introducing by overdrawing
another bad habit is shooters don't burn the pin..as soon as you release..your eye and head must NEVER move until you see your arrow hit its target. this is called "peeking". this will throw the shot off a lot! it takes some time practice. But, you keep watching that arrow through you're peep site and burn the pin. you'll see the arrow hit the target.
I need to use a bracer so I don't cock my wrist for fear of string slap , got one bad one , all it took messed me up until I alleviated the fear and voila got my game back lol I don't hit the bracer but I still use it because I know the day I don't I'll flub something and be sore again
Mathieu Danjou AMO standard is a minimum 5grns/lbs of draw weight. This is for personal safety. I've seen guys shooting too light an arrow and blow their bows up
This is just bad advice thru and thru. That is a minimum. It's like saying you can run your car at 6000 rpm. You can but it is hard on the engine. Spouting off like this when the info is just industry hearsay is just annoying. Please use discretion. This is how people end up underspined with a hunk of carbon jammed in to their finger.
Great video as always I’ve wondered about your logo why not raise the A on the Average so the arrow goes the middle of the A makes the Capital J and end through the middle of the Archery? Sorry being too anal keep up the great videos

Little avatars for RUclips, FB, Instagram, etc. Allowing them to be identified even in smaller fonts on smartphones and tablets. Maybe I'm full of hot air but there you go! Haha!
Dude Im a punching Fool! I punch it so hard I make Mike Tyson jealous. If Fruit Punch is good, then I got Vegetable Punch. My punch is so consistent I dont know what my fists are for.
I appreciate your feedback. However, I can assure you that my 6' 4" frame and 77" wingspan is certainly worthy of the 30" draw I currently shoot. But thanks anyways!
Enjoyed the video! Trying to up our archery game and looks like we've found a good mentor. Just subbed you! We enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, anything outdoors enjoying God's creation!!! Check out our latest dove hunting vid. Thanks!
I don't typically take advice from well groomed men in v-neck T's but this is solid advice. Thanks for the vid!
😂😂😂😂😂
He is well groomed..... Just as well as he's knowledgeable....
Same here
I've been shooting for 15 years and even I found this video helpful for me to go back and break bad habits I've picked up over the years! Thanks brother.
Been a lurker for a while and your vids encourage me to get back into archery. Good stuff.
Great advice. I got my first compound bow this year. I will definitely keep these points in mind as I prepare for deer season.
great video as we have come to expect.....the "ranging " of a animal is especially critical when "longer shots" are involved due to the greater arrow drop....learned that the hard way
Thanks a lot for the tips. I just got started into archery and been watching videos on the subject in the past 2 days. Your videos are informational and short which is really great, and that's exactly why I just subscribed.
It's a blessing to find someone who speaks the language of the beginning archer. Thanks for your great videos.
There were 2 problems you shed some light on for me thnx I will be fixing my form and try to get the right arrows
I keep gathering info watching you and others on RUclips, Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Great tips. Got back into archery after a 15 year hiatus.

@Xavier Shields no, you should use a release, because most bows can't be hand drawn.
Great video I’ve been keeping my release hand open ( this is my second year in archery and archery hunting) after watching your video I can see keeping everything relaxed is going to be more consistent. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Good luck this season God bless and keep smiling

Wish I'd known that the release rod could be shortened. I think that may have contributed (in part) to my target panic. Great video.
You’re like the Bob Ross of archery...super helpful tips!
In my olden days I even had a fro! Haha! Thanks!
I've been practicing all summer long and while my shot placement has been getting better, I have struggled to stay consistent and was not feeling great going into this archery season.

So glad I could help! Happy shooting!
Okay I've been watching for less than a minute and I already love your style...
Love your tips just bought a PSE Stinger and I love it but am having trouble learning what my best arrow would be
Look up my video on choosing the right arrow and arrow spine.
I’m a bowyer and I shoot primitive equipment. With my shorter bows I would just have a floating anchor point with minimal accuracy.

Thanks for the tips! Your videos are always helpful.
Thanks man, big help.
Solid points and comments. On the topic of anchor points, I have for a long time used a kisser button, has always helped me. Enjoy your videos 👍
Firsty McFirst
Super agree with spine-age, also re-tuning your gear each season
I have the trigger on my release set at the same spot on my index finger as when I'm shooting my pistols.
Here is an absolutely mighty thank you for sharing your knowledge Yes Thank You 😁
they still make aluminum arrows?
haven't seen gamegetters for a while!!!!
new here love your videos have been getting into some bad habits and target panic,your videos are helping me break these problems thank you
So happy to hear it's helpful!
At 2:00 I called that the Cam Hanes release everybody seems to try and emulate.
Great videos man, I am totally new to archery, I would love to start out with a compound bow and eventually hunt with it. Too bad I live in the Netherlands though where that isn't allowed and/or possible even. Keep it up & stay safe 😎👍

Great video tons of info in a short video
With a center shot bow, is there anything wrong with stiff, low spine arrows? I was under the impression it didn't matter...
Those two yard are negligible is it just short of the given pin on my bow it’s a 2020 PSE Evo nxt33 but only up to 30 yards
Hello i live in country, there we dont have any bow shops, so i have been looking alot on the web. Looking for a compound bow, and you video have help me alot learn. What bow will you recommend for a beginner.
If you are still looking, check out a Matthews Mission Craze 2. My son just bought one. You can make all adjustments without a bow press.
I just bought the Diamond Edge SB-1. If you don't have any shops around, this bow allows you to self-tune as you progress.
All was useful but my bow says to use 420spline but having problems finding them so have been using 350spline but was looking on RUclips to try to get answers of why my it seems like my whisker biscuit is messing up my fletchings?
Great video! Going to buy my 1st bow in a few hours!

Love the content, keep it coming
If my pins are bottomed out, why do I need to check? I just got my bow back from my string builder and now my sight is off. Thanks.
Nock height, rest height, the bows ATA length, and peak weight are going to be the main factors that affect point of impact on a bow.
Another great video brother. Thank you!
I own a used bow I bought also shooting 3 my buddy owns everything I shoot I hit to the right. We have bottomed out the sight adjustments on every bow I still hit to the right. What could I be doing wrong?

Man I think I do a few of these.. thanks for the video! Got a few new things to practice
Great tips! Keep up the good work!
Which dropaway rest do you use please. Great tips as always. Cheers champion. 🤘🏻
BwlBoy Personally, I'm a huge QAD fan!
Average Jack Archery thanks AJA. I’ve been really interested in QAD too. Keep up the great work 🤘🏻
BwlBoy I would look at hamskea hybrid Hunter pro

Thank you for the tips!
I shoot a 55 pound bow with 26 inch draw length and 28 inch arrows what spine should I be shooting for hunting
Look up spine charts for the arrows you're interested in. Spine can also depend on the fps your bow shoots
Depending on manufacturer, something 500 spine. Also depends on tip weight. Heavier tips weaken dynamic spine, lighter tips the opposite.
That bow is set up at least a half an inch long if not longer. You should try getting your string to cross in front of your nose and the corner of your mouth. It will eliminate the excessive string pressure that your nose is introducing by overdrawing
DantheMan glad I'm not the only one with that opinion. Kisser button is a saviour
Got any tips on how to choose the correctly spined arrow?
Check out my "Buying and Choosing Arrows" video to help you out there!
Good info thanks
Very good video.
The eybrows bro when u take your shot😁
Great video
another bad habit is shooters don't burn the pin..as soon as you release..your eye and head must NEVER move until you see your arrow hit its target. this is called "peeking".

Hi jack, what are your thoughts on single pin sights?
j Money Here ya go! ruclips.net/video/R6klbpBl7fA/видео.html
Single pin sights for target shooting is great, set it, shoot it. Multipin sights are better for hunting where distances can change in a heartbeat
You want the best anchor point; swapping around anchor points isn't going to give tight groups, ever...
very true very helpful
I need to use a bracer so I don't cock my wrist for fear of string slap , got one bad one , all it took messed me up until I alleviated the fear and voila got my game back lol I don't hit the bracer but I still use it because I know the day I don't I'll flub something and be sore again
You shoot aluminum arrows?if so what is your reasoning
Grant The bow hunter Here ya go! ruclips.net/video/-iamm3yMyJY/видео.html
Have you seen Cameron Haynes shoot?
Yup. Not my recommendation for hand form. Lol
@@averagejackarchery
Archery is definitely not one style fits all.
Have you seen Lars Anderson?
great video! btw for beginner you can say that they should get aproximetly 5 grain per pounds for their arrows
Mathieu Danjou AMO standard is a minimum 5grns/lbs of draw weight. This is for personal safety. I've seen guys shooting too light an arrow and blow their bows up
This is just bad advice thru and thru. That is a minimum. It's like saying you can run your car at 6000 rpm. You can but it is hard on the engine.

Been trying to break my son of trigger punching for months now.
Rsl4Life Its certainly a hard issue to crack! Best of luck!
Have him stand just a couple yards away from a large target and squeeze the release as slow as possible with his eyes closed.
when your bow shoot so fast your 20, 30 and 40 yard is one pin...
"If you try to shoot an arrow that not correctly spined" your gonna have a bad time
You didn't really explain what "spining" actually IS. ???
Watch my videos on "Buying and Selecting Arrows" to get a much deeper dive into the topic.

I need help I shot an arrow in my neighbors yard
Shoot a single pin then you have to range it. I shoot a dual pin.
chris hauge spothogg fast Eddie is amazing
Dude Im a punching Fool! I punch it so hard I make Mike Tyson jealous. If Fruit Punch is good, then I got Vegetable Punch. My punch is so consistent I dont know what my fists are for.
This is the kind of comment that makes all the time I put into videos 1000% worth it. Thanks for the good laugh!
Draw length way to long causing your form to be sloppy and over extended.
I appreciate your feedback. However, I can assure you that my 6' 4" frame and 77" wingspan is certainly worthy of the 30" draw I currently shoot. But thanks anyways!

Some days I feel like I need a coach behind me slapping me upside my head every time I get lazy and slack off. Okay, most days.
We’re trusting a guy wearing a white v-neck😂
I'd personally setup your bow to shoot an inch or two lower
