    I have to say PVC bows yes are less than desirable people, but it allowed me to skip the beginner step and enabled me to enjoy archery and see that I wanted to pursue it for about 13 USD. And that's including an arrow or two, and it took me one shot to get hooked on archery.

    you should do a " if you see this happening." field demonstration. for example I am trying to learn to make my own arrows as cheaply as possible, while there is wild variation in target accuracy, I would like to know what each inaccuracy means, like a wide spread, a short range, a constant veering to the right, and other common symptoms of poor shooting form or poor equipment choice and the quick remedy for those examining by issue rather than by solution. just a FAQ episode.

Oh you also do a great job on arrows. I have been shooting LB and recurves for 25+ years and I really like how you present your reviews. You know your stuff and are honest.

    Thanks for all the videos. I'm a former pretty good archer (former NY state champion), but have a degenerative neurological problem that prevented me from shooting for the last 20 years. I miss it dearly, I thought it was going to be a life sport. Nevertheless, it's fun to hear all the old archery chatter again. Flabergasted at what Hoyts sell for these days. I have an old TD-4 with two sets of carbon limbs, do you think anyone would be nterested in buying it. Comes with case and stabilizers. TFCs are a little worn.

    @RayneHyuga 5 лет назад

    Hey NuSensei, I stumbled on your channel a few days ago and I've been loving the videos. I've been shooting Compound bows for a while now and I'm wanting to move to a more traditional bow (not olympic level with all the bells & whistles just a traditional one) what would you reccomend in that one? Also not sure if this has been suggested but for point number 5 in this video, if people are still asking for that kind of advice (where it's better to see what they're doing) you could have them record themselves shooting 5 to 10 arrows and send it to you. This way you get to see what they're doing and they could possibly get the advice they're looking for. Just a thought.

  • @EvilMastermind
    @EvilMastermind 6 лет назад

    NUSensei, I didn't attend an archery course yet but I'd like to ask what is there to do on the course? I get that you come in, they teach you the what, when, where about how to stand, how to shoot, how to aim, how to whatever. But ok, you train with that, and get all of the technique down to pretty much perfect. Then what? You could have smaller targets, targets further away but you can do that by yourself too especially if you own a bow. Or is this just something where you get to your peak and then it's just practice, practice, practice which can be done basically by yourself too without an archery club?

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  6 лет назад

      The course only teaches you the basics of archery. It's nothing that you can't learn yourself. If all you want to do is shoot at a target, you don't need a club for that. A club provides the social environment for archers to come together, and in many cases provides the pathway to competitive archery should that be your thing. Many will also offer coaching for more advanced technique and form work, which is unlikely something you will discover on your own. It depends on what you want out of archery.

    • @kaizen5023
      @kaizen5023 5 лет назад

      If you like the wooden traditional style, look into ILF-compatible takedown bows like the White Feather Lark from alternativess.com. Otherwise just go Olympic ILF. Many options there.

  • @ashravenpb
    @ashravenpb 8 лет назад +1

    I shoot a 50 lb compound bow with a 30 inch draw (no stabilizers/release aids/silencers) and I would like to shoot recurve as well. Should I get a 40 lb samick sage or a 45lb samick sage? Im not sure because the 50 lb bow I shoot can get a little tiring after a couple dozen shots

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  8 лет назад +1

      I'd go with the 40lb sage then. If your stamina is only a couple-dozen shots, I don't think the 45lb Sage will be a good choice for a normal session.

    • @ashravenpb

    • @Waltham1892
      @Waltham1892 8 лет назад

      I've never seen metal nocks. Seems like a lot of weight and cost for a very small gain. Plastic nocks are cheap enough and I've never lost one unless one arrow strikes another.
      I can't see a metal nock surviving a hit, not without damaging the arrow shaft. Better to lose a nock.

    • @davidblowe9096
      @davidblowe9096 8 лет назад +1

      Go with lower poundage, compound at full draw is only holding a percentage of the rated poundage and recurve is the full rated poundage, recurve poundage is measured at a 28 inch draw and I understand that rule of thumb is + 2 pound for every inch over the 28 inch - at 30 inch draw there's a potential that you will be holding + 4 pound over the rated draw weight .
      p.s. I have just switched from around 55 pound compound to 38 pound recurve, I could shoot a 72 arrow round with the compound easily, now I find that I struggle to maintain good form and technique for half that with the recurve.

  • @backyardarcher9471
    @backyardarcher9471 8 лет назад

    I am a new archer ( just under a year) and I shoot a compound bow (around 45#) I am interested in getting a recurve (2 really one for me and one for my son) I want to stay in the neighborhood of $200.00 dollars each) I am thinking about around 30# for me and 20 or so for my son. I do want mount inserts though so we can use them for bow fishing. I know the Smack is one many people recommend but how do the others in that range stack up?

    • @NUSensei

      I don't really need to advise on draw length, unless you shoot compound. And even then, you need a precise measurement, not a derived calculation from height.

    hey nu.
    I was chatting with the local shop.
    here in Canada.
    which is compound biased.
    but was told that world wide
    there are 3 registered recurve
    archers for every one registered compound archer.
    now in Canada USA and I would assume Australia. it's dramatically reversed. and compound bows are the growth part of the sport.
    though according to the pro
    a former junior world champion in compound. he and the industry is seeing growth across the types in North America.
    note the key is registered archers.
    like Australia. Canada has a national and provincial archer associations. as does the USA.
    like you I shoot recurve. and at some events I have actually been the only recurve archer.
    but lately I've been 1 of many.
    we are still heavily out numbered.
    but not alone.
    have fun n thanks for your posts.

      cool.
      I actually shot a 18 meter 600 event Sunday night,here in Manitoba. 28 archers. 10 shooting recurve. 1 being a bare bow the rest target. 3 under 14.
      2 over 60.
      the other 5 over 40. lol.mid life
      enthusiasts with dreams of target glory. :-P
      one guy kept taking pictures cause it's the most target recurve
      we have seen in one place at a time. was fun.
      here we are a minority. but growing. I shoot both target n traditional. see a lot more traditional archers. especially at 3d shoots.but still overwhelmingly,
      compound archers here.

      At my club in the UK of about a dozen people who turn up on a typical training session who don't use the clubs own training bows (all recurve)
      Typically 2-3 shoot compound (mainly due to arthritis preventing them shooting recurve any more) 1 will be shooting English longbow, and 1 will have some form of of barebow hunting bow or similar, the rest will all be modern Olympic style recurve (including me)

    • @dasy2k1
      @dasy2k1 5 лет назад

      Nope, as a beginner your skill level will not be able to get the difference the extra 600 bucks make, I know my skill isn't good enough to get any benefit! ( I payed £400 for my complete setup including arrows, stand, case, quiver etc and it's still way more than my skill level can make the most of )
      I would say get a better riser if you can, paired with cheapish limbs, the riser will stay with you as you get better, the limbs probably won't

  • @brainwright9713
    @brainwright9713 6 лет назад +1

    Here’s a weird question for you : I’m interested in archery for the simple love of ballistics.

    Is archery really realistic for me? My only other real choice is mortars, and I’d probably blow myself up.

    is bow and arrow tuning important?

    • @davidmdyer838
      @davidmdyer838 6 лет назад +2

      I'm not NUSensei but former pretty successful archer (NY state champion) and I would say this depends on your equipment. The most important thing is that your arrows are the proper length and matched in spine (stiffness) to your bow. You will first have to measure the length of your arrow and determine the type of arrowhead you are using as heavier tips make for a weaker spine. When measuring for your first arrows you might start a little long because you can always cut them shorter later, and if you want the option to put broadheads on them they need to be long enough to clear the back of the bow and probably your fingers. It also makes a difference whether you are hot gluing your tips in directly or gluing in screw inserts that allow you to switch between target, field, or broadhead points. Then depending on whether you are using aluminum or carbon arrows you need to use a chart that matches your actual draw weight measured (not just the draw weight marked on the bow), usually with a spring scale, length of arrow, and weight of tip, and the chart should tell you what spine you need. After you have your arrow the complexity of your bow tells you what should be adjusted. Plunger button, stabilizers, nock point on the string all have to match your bow, arrows and shooting style. Some bows even allow you to adjust the angles of the individual limbs. When shooting at a very close distance your arrows, even without fletching, should go in very straight. If NUSensei disagrees with any of this please differ to him as he knows more about the latest information. There are specialists in bow tuning, but until your style is well settled it may not be helpful to hre a specialist yet. Most bows will give perfectly good results with neutral settings, but most importent is getting the arrows right and getting plenty of them. If you don't have much money this is where I would spend it.

    I don't understand how a pvc bow is better than a wooden takedown recurve for say 70$. i don't quite get that logic there.

    You can get a compound bow at Walmart for about $150.
