I've finished my 1st self-made bow! My family thought it was so good, I'm now making 4 more so we can all shoot together! If you didn't give such good step by step tips, it wouldn't have been so successful! Thank you!!!
@@halloweendonut4355 it depends on how clunky they are. i feel like, at least for me, they hinder your movement in your hands and/or accidentally mess up the shot. but if it’s thin enough i guess it can work??? though i personally don’t recommend it
When I was younger I wanted to learn how to shoot bows like medieval adventurers, but the local archery club only had, in my young words, 'ugly bows' (aka compound bows). So, I got a pretty cheap recurve bow and a leather glove at a ren fair and I was super excited to try it out. RUclips wasn't really a thing then, so I just went in completely blind. After a few shots, the string came off and hit me right in the face. Had a red line going right through my face for days and dropped it after that. Was thinking of getting back into it with some better research this time (and a better bow haha), so this video is a great help, thanks!
holy shit, the grab the golf ball, and the pull the elbow back is exactly what I needed to hear. I never realized I was letting my elbow stick out. THANK YOU
Excellent advice!! I agree with every point you made. But I'd like to reiterate your point about starting out with a low draw weight bow. If you are struggling to pull the bow back, it's difficult to focus on shooting. If it's easy to pull, it's a lot more fun too. Great video, thanks for posting.
@@AbuMaia01 Yes I just had a look into it. There was a master who hit a target in pitch darkness but that didnt do it for me because he did that same movement and same distance for the last 30-40years proving that the arrow would find its target... Still quite cool though all in all
@@Idontknow-ly9bu Or...you know...instinctive shooting. Nice to go "dreamy wishy wannabe superhero" because it was Japanese. Do you aim when you throw a ball? Not really.
Kramer, I wanted to let you know that I made the "Tillering Gizmo" I had been working on tillering my bow for a few days, after making and using the Gizmo I had the bow exactly where I wanted in in just a few hours ... i really liked your beginners guide. lots of great points. thank you.
Good tips here especially back tension and release. One small thing, other phones will work too, any cell phone for video, doesn't have to be an iphone...
This video is sooo great thank you! Haven't shot an arrow yet but already got a bow and get the rest on christmas. This really prepares me for my first shot
Thank you! I've noticed before that I'm much more accurate when I'm not thinking about aiming, so your tip to concentrate on good release form instead really helped me!
Love watching your videos man! A lot of good info here and if nothing else I love how excited you are doing this. You can tell you are really passionate and dedicated with what you're doing and its awesome to watch! Keep 'em coming man!
I started with archery with 50lb bow and i have to say i'm glad i buyed weaker bow... because holding for too long this beast make's my muscles burn. I will always take your video next to me when i'll go train. This drawning with upper elbow and making one straight line + releasing is so good and im now able to shoot much more arrows before my arms hurts. Thank you !
I want to build a bow and learn how to shoot it, but I live in a suburban area, and I'm getting the impression that shooting a longbow in a tiny backyard isn't the safest idea. Any recommendations on how to find a good location to practice archery?
Just got my string in today, looks awesome! Can't wait to get it on the recurve. Eventually I want to hunt with my recurve. This is a terrific video. I keep watching and learning. Thanks Kramer!
I watched this video and used a small tree as a target, I know I have to get a bulls eye., but from 8 arrows, 4 passed slightly off the target… 2 missed very badly and then I remembered I should start from the left when pulling the arrow, so the last 2 hit the tree. Around a foot apart from each other. This is my first time, so I hope more of your videos help me.
One of the best videos I've seen for new archers, I think you nailed most of the basics. Also the new tabs look awesome! Are they Cordovan faced? Stay blessed.
Great video, mostly good reminders but also learned something new. The golfbal trick will help a lot with my release. 1 thing I also learned is the not hold your bow, but to let it rest on the palm of you hand when pulling back the arrow. I have a leather band around my bow and wrist and let the bow fall after each shot. Again great video I really enjoy these video's.
I love your channel and I find it very helpful and extremely entertaining. You encouraged me to build my first bow which worked out amazingly but it was a little week. Thanks to your videos I know exactly what I did wrong. I’m working on fixing it right now.Keep up the good content.
Watched this before my first shots with my new hickory self bow (made it in April). Had not shot a bow since I was a kid. Really helped me hit my target.
Love the videos! I'm learning so much about archery and making bows, can't wait to give it all a shot 😝🙃 I know exactly where I'll be getting my string and tab from!
Want to thank you for inspiring me to dive in and make a few new bows ,I've made a few in the past but they were more survival stile kinda down an dirty ,but I have made a few in the past month starting with the popular bow , which was a failure developed compression wrinkles on the belly,but have made two Red Oak board bows since the failed popular bow ,that turned out decent respectable bows thanks for the inspiration
I was excited to start practicing with the arm band b4 my string came in the mail that I bought from you. I'm just starting out. Did it like three times and the arm band broke. 😭 Thats what I get for buying cheap workout gear lol
Thank you so much for your videos being able to make my own bow has always been something I wanted to do since I was a young child. And your confidence and passion really shows and inspired me to try it, and it went well till I got some twisting in the top limb and eventually led to a small crack I didnt see before hand. But I'm not going to give up now that i get to go back to work at the wood shop I have plenty of resources to keep trying. And by this summer I will have a functional bow. And just cause the first one failed I will keep going cause its important to me to teach my boys that no matter what task they do, "IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY, TRY AGAIN." Don't give up too easily persistence end up paying off.
I’ve bought one of those Black Hunter longbows. I’m is 50# but I also shoot a 29” draw length so at that draw it’s actually pulling at a little over 55#. I really like the bow. Very comfortable and smooth.
I m a new but a big Fan of your Chanel. Want to thank you for your tips in archery, which helped me to improve a lot. But nevertheless I think that a tab for the fingers is not so difficult to make, that it makes a big difference between the ones you sell and the ones one can make itself. Stay helthy and have a good time. (Sorry für any mistakes but i m not a native speeker)
ha! what timing. i bought my first bow cause of your channel 2 weeks ago, and now i've bought my first traditional bow just yesterday. i'm already in love with archery. I had a question i was wondering if you could answer, the longbow I just bought is bamboo backed and it has a very light beige stain. I'm interested in dying it a darker colour, and wondering what the best way to do that would be and if it would compromise the integrity of the wood at all. i'm also interested in wood burning or in some way putting some designs on the front of the bow, and again wondering if that would at all comrpomise the integrity of the wood. hopefully you can let me know because google sends back mixed results !
Love your videos buuutttt, where do you get your bows? Definitely buying your tabs but I want a traditional bow. If you make them yourself I would love to purchase one.
this video helped me out a lot, and taught me lots about proper formation! i just bought my first bow & am excited to have learned about the “golf ball” visual - will definitely help me a lot! thanks a bunch man!
You are very skilled at what you do. You make beautiful bows, and you inspire me very very much. Thankyou for your videos, keep uploading them forever. If I had enough money I would buy a bow from you. Cause my recurved horsebow are at 70lbs and so hard to draw. But maybe on day I will manage to draw it. Thank you for what you do. Very impressive.
Just bought my first bow and have been plowing through your channel. Good stuff. Random thought that keeps popping into my mind: you really need to find a reason to make a video with Mark Rober. You both have the same goofy/awesome mix in your presentation and enthusiasm. I am 100% sure you two will be able to come up with some sort of cool collaboration. Just a thought...

HI ALL My comment on learning and maintaining instinctive memory is to. #1 shoot from close enough range that the outcome is certain "input only good data " Only when you can hit the mark with every shoot, should you allow yourself to advance. #2 You will never will the arrow to the mark. "Remove your self as an obstacle to the shot" #3 Create a solid balanced platform for the shot. #4 Do not dwell on a miss."

I doubt anyone else does this, but I flip my wrist placing index finger below and 2 above. I've no idea why, but it just feels more confortable and I get a pretty straight shot with it.
There’s a RUclips video of a Eastern European girl “rapid shooting” her stick bow in a gym. She uses the same grip you speak of. I had never seen or heard of it before. I think for speed shooting from a shoulder quiver it might be a must-do if you want to be fast.
Thank you for this. The golf ball idea is great. I've been practicing for a couple weeks with a pretty badly warped, traditional recurve bow. I'm assuming this isn't going to help my aim? I don't know. I'm a total newbie. My upper back and my abs are pretty sore so I think my form is decent. My release has been a pain though. After recording myself in slow motion I noticed two things. One, just before I loose each arrow, 9/10 times my draw arm moves forward an inch or two. Two, when I release, I tend to pull my hand away from my cheek instead of letting it glide back. Even though I am consciously telling myself to do that, it won't. Being able to imagine a golf ball on my shoulder and giving myself the objective of gently grabbing it I think will help with my grouping drastically.
I REALLY want to get into archery but don't know where to start or even how to buy a bow. I shot once during a vacation and loved how relaxing and meditative it all felt. It felt so good to hit the target--never mind the bulls eye! lol I just don't want to get taken advantage of by unscrupulous sellers looking to make a buck off of someone ignorant. How do I start? Thanks for the videos. I enjoy seeing your craft.
Damn great video for a beginner, which I am despite my have shot bow for years, one thing: I think the more fingers you put on the string the easier it will be to drow and the more difficult to have a clean release, I personally use thumb draw or Slavic release (1 and 2 fingers) and I find it great, also have you ever tried shooting with one of these stiles, with the arrow on the right side of the bow? It makes you able to shoot more arrows in less time, and it's really fun
I used to shoot Mediterranean, but I tried Slavic a couple weeks back and I really liked it. I was already shooting off of the thumb side of the bow and happened to be Slavic. With Mediterranean, my finger above the arrow would always get pinched between the arrow and the string and would start hurting after many shots. Also, I can get a much better anchor point with this style. I can put the arrow right up against my face because the top finger isn't in the way.
@@davidkhrystenko what I prefer the most about Slavic drow is that you can put the arrow on the string, draw and shoot basically in one single movement
While target bow shooting or hunting does it matter which is your dominant eye and should that come into play when selecting a compound bow. Please answer because I think this is important too me. Thx
I have a bit of a challenge for you if your interested????? Have you ever built a takedown bow before????? I have an old compound bow riser........... I thought it might make for a cool “will it bow” segment. I saw someone make one out of a bow riser and some skis but the video quality wasn’t the same and I have watched several of your videos and I think you could do it. The angle would be a bit different, but I think it would be cool turning an old compound riser into a recurve......... thoughts?
Hey Kramer, i'm really interested in learning but as a beginner i've got some really basic questions regarding the length of the bow and draw weight - how do I determine that . as well just starting out you mention dropping 20lbs ( draw weight ) to get started , when will i know when to invest in an intermediate bow? been meaning to do this for a while your videos have been key , can't wait to get started - what one of your bows would you recommend - cheers
I haven't shot since i was a teenager but i loved it what would be your advice for q missing trigger finger, when I learned I shot with 1 over 2 under, im thinking if i were to shoot now i would just use my last 3 fingers below
nice video! its weird... that golf ball exercise it's awesome! I believe you have a better form with the band, I've noticed that you move your head toward the arrow to make your anchor point, I believe you have to bring the arrow to your head, not the other way.. maybe I'm mistaken or maybe it's just a bad habit. ;) cool!
I’ve been shooting a bow since 1978 and I’m stealing that theraband method to use as a warm up before heading out to the deer stand and maybe even to stay loose on long sits.
i weigh 117 pounds, and im 5'1". i have a 45 pound bow but i find it difficult to draw back all the way. i dont have the nicest bow, but i was wondering, is a 45 pound bow the right one for me to start with?
Love watching the videos! I’ve seen a handful of your videos on best products for archery but what would you recommend for someone who is starting & is putting together a backyard archery range? (I need a backstop since I have a fenced in backyard :P)
I've finished my 1st self-made bow! My family thought it was so good, I'm now making 4 more so we can all shoot together! If you didn't give such good step by step tips, it wouldn't have been so successful! Thank you!!!
good job!
Good
as an archer myself, these are actually really good tips you've given
I have a quick question, does aiming in gloves affect the movement in some way? Or is it totally ok?
@@halloweendonut4355 it depends on how clunky they are. i feel like, at least for me, they hinder your movement in your hands and/or accidentally mess up the shot. but if it’s thin enough i guess it can work??? though i personally don’t recommend it

I’ve been watching several beginner archery videos as I’ve just purchased my first traditional bow. This was the best video I’ve seen yet. Good stuff
I am planning to buy one. Which one did you buy?
Excellent advice!! I agree with every point you made. But I'd like to reiterate your point about starting out with a low draw weight bow. If you are struggling to pull the bow back, it's difficult to focus on shooting. If it's easy to pull, it's a lot more fun too. Great video, thanks for posting.
Sounds a lot like Japanese kyudo. They say you don't aim to hit the target. When you're doing everything right, the arrow will find the target.
That sounds a bit to dreamy wishy wannbe superhero for me
@@Idontknow-ly9bu Well, kyudo does have a very definite spiritual aspect to it. Some people liken it more to meditation than a sport.
@@AbuMaia01 Yes I just had a look into it. There was a master who hit a target in pitch darkness but that didnt do it for me because he did that same movement and same distance for the last 30-40years proving that the arrow would find its target... Still quite cool though all in all

Yeah, always bugs me when people say that.
I can't fathom buying a cool kid toy that will be lame in two weeks.
You forgot the most important thing, always video horizontally.
As a new bow shooter ( is that the right term ) i really enjoyed this video you explain and answer a lot of questions i have thanks

Also with a heavier bow, especially, you should b pushing with your bow hand as much as u are pulling with your string hand. Keep up the good work!
I bought the black hunter based on the review he gave and I fkn love it. It's my first bow, and I've only had it 2 days. Great advice every time

Such subtle stuff can be noted. Ima re-watch what I can.
Video #4 today, I think I am just gonna go on your channel and watch everything I can. This one really helped me big time Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. I have learned so much in the past hour, my time well invested, thanks again.
trying to write a scene where a character's father is teaching her how to shoot a bow and this is really helpful!
Eli from ZNA sent me here. I’m already loving it!
I entirely forgot about ZNA
How
HI ALL
My comment on learning and maintaining instinctive memory is to.
#1 shoot from close enough range that the outcome is certain "input only good data "
Only when you can hit the mark with every shoot, should you allow yourself to advance.
#2 You will never will the arrow to the mark. "Remove your self as an obstacle to the shot"
#3 Create a solid balanced platform for the shot.
#4 Do not dwell on a miss." If you have done your part it is not a concern of yours"
I like to think of it as a magic trick. Just because you know how it is done doesn't mean that you can pull it off. Only you can polish the trick. And you will if you are honest with your self about your effective range.
You have become my go to guy for archery!! Thank you!
I doubt anyone else does this, but I flip my wrist placing index finger below and 2 above. I've no idea why, but it just feels more confortable and I get a pretty straight shot with it.
There’s a RUclips video of a Eastern European girl “rapid shooting” her stick bow in a gym. She uses the same grip you speak of. I had never seen or heard of it before. I think for speed shooting from a shoulder quiver it might be a must-do if you want to be fast.
Thanks for another awesome video. I've been getting back into archery and this helped alot.
This guy's videos always throw me into a happy mood :)
Thank you for this. The golf ball idea is great. I've been practicing for a couple weeks with a pretty badly warped, traditional recurve bow. I'm assuming this isn't going to help my aim?

Shot today with your custom flemish fast flight string. Amazing! Will happily buy again.
Yes please. Beautiful editing. and Great message.
How I didn't remember before. Perfect!
finally a good video
Damn great video for a beginner, which I am despite my have shot bow for years, one thing: I think the more fingers you put on the string the easier it will be to drow and the more difficult to have a clean release, I personally use thumb draw or Slavic release (1 and 2 fingers) and I find it great, also have you ever tried shooting with one of these stiles, with the arrow on the right side of the bow?

If your arms and elbows are inline with the arrow. Your fingers aren't toqueing the arrow up or down. But letting it release clean on target.
Really like that golf ball trick! Tried it out and it helps a lot! Thanks man!
Thank you @Kramer. Excellent tips and drills. Especially on the draw.
While target bow shooting or hunting does it matter which is your dominant eye and should that come into play when selecting a compound bow. Please answer because I think this is important too me. Thx
Thanks for sharing these awesome tips! Definitely going to apply these asap to improve my form and shot release!
Great vid
how could you have possibly already watched it all? its been out for 1 min

Hey Kramer, i'm really interested in learning but as a beginner i've got some really basic questions regarding the length of the bow and draw weight - how do I determine that . as well just starting out you mention dropping 20lbs ( draw weight ) to get started , when will i know when to invest in an intermediate bow?
been meaning to do this for a while your videos have been key , can't wait to get started - what one of your bows would you recommend - cheers
Great tips, I love it. great quality videos keep them coming.
That is a great looking bow. Where can I find it? Thanks
I haven't shot since i was a teenager but i loved it what would be your advice for q missing trigger finger, when I learned I shot with 1 over 2 under, im thinking if i were to shoot now i would just use my last 3 fingers below
Love your videos man keep up the good work!
Lots of thanks, it is very informative and usefull!
4:00 He starts teaching you to shoot the bow.
nice video! its weird... that golf ball exercise it's awesome! I believe you have a better form with the band, I've noticed that you move your head toward the arrow to make your anchor point, I believe you have to bring the arrow to your head, not the other way.. maybe I'm mistaken or maybe it's just a bad habit. ;) cool!
I’ve been shooting a bow since 1978 and I’m stealing that theraband method to use as a warm up before heading out to the deer stand and maybe even to stay loose on long sits.
Wondering where you been little brother, good video. Hope to see you soon. Your brother in Christ, WRV
For the next will it now would be interesting to see how hdpe bottle strings behave , I've seen them hold quite a tension once heat shrunk
Sick intro!
Thank you! Very helpful tips! 😁💙
i weigh 117 pounds, and im 5'1". i have a 45 pound bow but i find it difficult to draw back all the way. i dont have the nicest bow, but i was wondering, is a 45 pound bow the right one for me to start with?
Perfect video, younger version of Clay Hayes 👍👍👍
I love watching your videos and I don't even shoot bows! I'm hoping to get started soon though :)
Great video 🤟
These are such great tips!
Love watching the videos! I’ve seen a handful of your videos on best products for archery but what would you recommend for someone who is starting & is putting together a backyard archery range? (I need a backstop since I have a fenced in backyard :P)
