He really does! It's a sight to behold. He's like get to you anchor and release but I never see his anchor because the arrow is gone before I can look at it🤣 this guy is my hero for real.
Mr Phillips, I have to say that I have been watching your videos for a few years. Your tips on becoming an accurate long bow shooter are absolutely incredible. Very understandable and easy to implement. Without your break down and instructions I don’t feel that I would ever have got to the accuracy levels that I am now. Thank you so much and keep up the videos.
This is why the push archery and others like it can be so dangerously confusing, they mean well, but have way too many variables to try and inevitably mess up the average shooter. Establish your style and if it works never change it, I know, I've tried more than once from watching stuff like the aforementioned. Good advice dude 🤙🤙
Thank you for this video. I have been struggling with my mind going all over the place on how I shoot. So to hear you say to clear your mind and not think about anything but that target. Great videos I have enjoyed them. Justin Jahansouz Moore, Oklahoma.
Thank you again Jeff. I lost nearly a year from my archery due to a shoulder operation and now have worked back up to 35 #’s with occasionally 40#’s. I figured this would be a prime opportunity to come back into it “properly” and so I have been reviewing your videos. I have full confidence that following your advice can help me get to a whole new level. I thoroughly enjoy watching and listening to, it’s amazing that you are willing to put this kind of effort into helping so many people that you do not even know. Thank you
I just wanted to thankyou brother, in 6 months of learning instinctive shooting I'm on my way, not good but holding 4" group at 30 yards. I sucked till I got it then dang man, I will never use sights again. Instinctive shooting makes shooting the bow fun .
I have just recently pulled my PSE Impala out of the closet and have been shooting it to do something fun while I heal after total hip replacement. I am having a blast and am thinking of doing a year round practice in order to take it to the deer woods. I aspire to your level of accuracy. God Bless you and yours.
I've been learning a lot of great points about my archery, but I've also been getting some reminders about other parts of my life. Thank You, Mr. Phillips.
The Lord is so good He took my passion for traditional archery and made it possible for me and my son to leave our careers behind and do exactly what we love everyday so what is impossible with us is nothing for Him! The Bible says” honor the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart “ and that’s exactly what happened with me brother 👍🏻
I watch several archery instructionals, you make a lot of sense. All the equipment you use has to work for you. Which brings up the question, what glove are you using?
you bring up a great discussion point for people who have not found or settled in on that perfect bow for them. how does one order a custom bow (not cheap) without trying it out to know if it is going to fit for them? I started with a $150 45# take down recurve and felt it was decent, but after flinging maybe a 1000 arrows thought I needed to try a long bow and bought an entry level $500 custom 55#, 66" made and have enjoyed it, but am thinking I want something more manageable in length for hunting, but the idea of plopping out $1,300 for something custom that I have no idea if it will be a good fit for me is hard to reconcile. So how does one do it?
I also shoot at night but that is for low light hunting practice. I do blank bale shooting with eyes closed to work on individual aspects of my shot routine. Anyways, please keep up the good work. Also, will you be filming hunts this year?
I love this video , very informative thanks for the tips , I've been into traditional archery for about 3 years now , it takes time to get the shot process down and maintaining it . some days I can hit my spots fairly well , other days not so much overall I've come a long way , but like you said always want to do better, just have to keep practicing , thanks again.
I have several bows that I love but can not shoot well. I am currently using an ilf bow and it is working well but I continue to search for the perfect bow for me. I often wish I lived in a location where I could test a bunch of different bows without having to buy every bow I shoot.
Great Tip Fella!! I need to ask as it almost looks like your drawing a little farther back then usual? Did you try out a few shots from what I recommend in my video from the other day? Nice shooting!!!
Also, contact any USA Archery Instructor to learn the most efficient shooting process. It works for all Archery Disciplines including Traditional. Watch the Olympic Recurve Archers. Especially the S. Korean Women's Team. The USA process will save you lots of time, effort & frustration. You will learn so much about Archery and have a Great Time Shooting. Nothing mystical, just great mechanics and technique rolled into their process. Keep it fun!
It only happens when you don’t have to think about it. Same with a baseball basketball bowling ball ect. There has been a few great shooters from Bama.
I practiced shooting at tiny objects until it became an automatic hit. I started shooting bugs on dandelions at a foot or so until I knew that it was a done deal. then I would back up a foot or two and work at it until I had that distance mastered. I continued at this while also going back for a very close shot. I did this out to ten yards before going to a little bigger target. I took my misses down to nearly nothing because I had trained my mind and eyes to focus better on a much smaller spot. Now, I train with dry beans because they are cheap, shooting them on the ground in a rock free area. It took my bowfishing from just shooting at the fish to being very tough on the fish or whatever else I was shooting at. Focus is everything and most of us don't focus good enough to be good. We have been given the best computer ever in the brain that God blessed us with and so we have to learn not to argue with it. But we have to train ourselves to let our brain take over without thought to just do it. It is about knowing that you got the shot before you even take it instead of just hoping to hit it. My bugs back then were bees, bumble bees, wasps, yellow jackets, flies, butterflies or whatever was on the flowers or ground. When I got good enough, I would shoot them before they landed as they hoovered above the flower. Now after a lot of health issues, I will train again with the beans. believe me, if you can hit beans out there a little ways, a deer is like shooting a moose. loved your video.
Jerry Cox, Please don’t shoot the butterflies, 50+ years ago there were a lot of butterflies, now it’s a rarity to see one. Even grasshoppers and lightning bugs are not as plentiful.
Lol we’re doing a lot of coaching this spring and summer if you’d like to spend a day with me on our range here in Alabama just let me know brother and I’m cheap
The arrows don't lie but his follow-through...his second anchor appears to be somewhere in the air 6 inches off his right shoulder...doesn't seem like he's well into his back from that shot. What works for one person won't necessarily work for another. Find your own sequence that works and stick to it.
After watching almost all of your videos I came to the conclusion that you have super natural powers. God bless you.
🤣thanks brother!

As a newbie to traditional archery, after 30 years with a compound, I appreciate all of your content. It has been very helpful as I learn.

I completely trashed myself over reading too much , and trying different things really for no reason
Love what you are teaching here. Agree 100 % Love it, Love it, Love it. Thank you for the reminder. Yup.
What you say makes so much sense, and you're so clear in your explanations. Thank You.
Thank you. You are a true teacher and fine person!! 🏹
Thanks!
Just getting started with a trad bow, thank you so much for the videos they are a great help. Keep up the great work!!
Great tutorial, thanks very much for your passion and charity toward your approach. God bless you sir. From Australia.
Love your instructions and proving your skill

Thank you Jeff for helping lead me through this fantastic adventure. I’m loving every minute of it. Keep it coming🤗
Awesome thanks!
Great video,I learn something every time I watch!!
Thanks so much 👍🏻
Thank you again Jeff.

Lol. I just pulled out my 22yr PSE Impala out and picked traditional back up. I keep telling myself it's a process. 😂

Sir, you just hit the nail on the head. Only focus on your aim point. Good anchor and release.
That’s it!

Yes sir it’s kinda like the old saying if you don’t use it you loose it lol thanks glad you enjoyed it brother 👍🏻
I have several bows that I love but can not shoot well. I am currently using an ilf bow and it is working well but I continue to search for the perfect bow for me. I often wish I lived in a location where I could test a bunch of different bows without having to buy every bow I shoot.
Thx Jeff I enjoy shooting at night as well it's a nice challenge from daylight. May I ask how long you've been shooting? You're darn good.
Off and on since I was a kid lol but took it up seriously three years ago sold all my compounds and went all in thanks 👍🏻
There’s certainly a reason I wake up at 4:30 to run to the club on the weekend!! I’m still a new archer and shooting the machine though
You ever tried the thumb ring style of shooting?
Great Tip Fella!! I need to ask as it almost looks like your drawing a little farther back then usual? Did you try out a few shots from what I recommend in my video from the other day? Nice shooting!!!

Jerry Cox,
Please don’t shoot the butterflies, 50+ years ago there were a lot of butterflies, now it’s a rarity to see one.
Even grasshoppers and lightning bugs are not as plentiful.
Is there a big difference between a left helical or a right one?
When it comes to compound bows there is 0 difference in my opinion
No it’s based on which direction the string is twisted
Brother I wish I was your neighbor , I would probably drive you crazy wanting to learn
Lol we’re doing a lot of coaching this spring and summer if you’d like to spend a day with me on our range here in Alabama just let me know brother and I’m cheap
god bless

My secrete hunting spot free state south africa, can only hunt at night. Animals sleep in the day and eat at night.
Love to know your name
