    I am an absolute beginner at archery. Just got a bow, and this has me off to a confident and well informed start. Thank you!

    Hi mate, I’m an English Christian, veteran and ex small arms instructor. The stupid U.K. laws make it really tough to get a rifle any way, but over a .22 long it’s bloody near impossible.
    Really frustrating as I loved combat shooting and teaching the lads.
    My father in law gave me an old compound bow and my wife loved it and would shoot it whilst I practised with my air rifle to keep on top of my marksmanship principles.
    She loved it and I bought her an infinite edge pro for her birthday. I was so impressed I bought one for myself and never looked back!
    Your videos are awesome mate and really motivating- when you mentioned with pride that you are a Christian and love the Lord, it made me feel amazing! We are small in numbers and being persecuted world wide, but such is the love of God that we will prevail against all odds.
    Everyone of my Christian American brothers and sisters have a place at my table any time.
    God bless you and may your family and community be safe and loved.
    Always a Sapper.

      Thanks brother. I lived in London for a year and was surprised by the attitude of anti God and anger toward God. The flip side of that was that all the Christians worked together regardless of denomination. God bless you.

      Sean's Outdoor Adventures- thank you for your reply dude. Funny isn’t it, we are thousands of miles apart and can talk at the press of a button. Still amazes me!
      In England, the demonisation of Christians and the constant mockery has exacerbated exponentially with the import of hundreds of thousands of ‘them’, who block vote in support of one political party- who also hate Jews and Christians alike. This pandering to the most horrific and dangerous cult in history is costing people their lives and destroying families at the hands of serial child- rape gangs, all under the protection of the police and government (couldn’t be called racist could we now?)
      Winterfest has replaced Christmas in Birmingham and saying merry Christmas gets people looking uncomfortable- not patriots or people from the Hindu or Sikh communities, but every day people that fear ‘them’ hurling abuse and even worse. This has to stop my brother. We can all live together in peace and I truly wish our governments didn’t play divide and rule.
      But there is a serious and dark undertone to all of this, not just the human tragedy, but the spiritual one too. I left the Sappers 18 months ago and moved to the countryside. It is all the same culture and everyone loves their heritage and community. After a conversation with a stranger, which was so very uncommon in a town or city, saying God bless promotes a smile. I truly love it brother, I honestly do! I thank God and praise Lord Jesus every single day for the opportunity to live in peace amongst my own people and culture- needless to say, the crime rate is absolutely minuscule- zero graffiti and children play without the ever watchful and fearful eye from their parents.
      I mention this, because I fought alongside fellow US sappers in Iraq and we were truly long lost brothers- our shared cultures and mentality was something we all deeply cared for.
      The American lads would say a prayer before an operation and I’d wish we had that in our Army. After returning from an op, I’d be drawn to the church (I’d not been christened yet) and thanked God for my safe return.
      Long story short brother and sorry for the long one, our culture, heritage, morality, law, integrity and so much more- stem from Christianity. We of European descent are the creators of the free world and all its treasures and marvels of technology, medicine, art, literature, infrastructure etc, I could go on.
      We have so much to thank our forefathers for my brother, but the ‘elite’ are trying to destroy their gift to us by saturating our homes with foreign people and cultures (as you saw in London, the vast majority HATE white people and if they knew you were Christian and proud you could be in trouble) and have the media call every white man evil and responsible for the worlds problems.
      I say this because unless something happens and soon, the people are going to fight back, Europe is a tinderbox and the EU is finished. Globalism has tried to destroy white Europeans and we are waking up to it. I’ve never been a racist and never will be, but come into our countries, respect your hosts and be grateful.
      Again, I apologise for the rant mate- I just don’t want the kind and brave people of the USA being subjected to the same fate as us.
      Almighty God in heaven, protect my people, my Christian brothers and sisters abroad and at home- and please stop the evil synagogue of satan genociding our race. Give us the strength to raise the flag of freedom and give us the strength also to put on the armour of God. Amen

    Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine ruclips.net/user/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

    Sean....Very good solid advice for beginners. I would not teach beginners to do what I do but I hold the bow lightly in my hand , almost floating in my thumb crotch as you described but I curl my index finger around the bow grip, again barely touching it, if at all, until the index finger contacts the tip of my thumb and completes the circle. The bow itself is held in place in the thumb crotch on the draw cycle by way of the backward pressure on the draw. In my experience this has completely eliminated bow torque as the bow will "float" naturally without any pressure applied finding its own "center". ...but that is just me...not for everyone.
    Your teaching style transfers easily to new archer's in that there is no "fill" as in (when I was hunting for Elk with my three friends and six pack mules") in your descriptions and every word holds your attention to the point you are making. You are a "TEACHER" Sir gifted with the mannerisms and light hearted seriousness that you convey to the aspiring.
    A personal note outside of archery....I will be locating my permanent marker poste haste to inscribe on my grand daughters and my own fletching because in all honesty who am "i" without HIM.

    my wife and I are new to archery and we spent many hours watching videos and researching data pertinent to what we would enjoy as new bowhunters,
    and being that we are avid hunters we've embraced archery and look forward to honing our skill sets to be able to bow hunt as well as enjoy practicing target shooting,
    having said all that I shoot daily working on the basic 5 fundamentals of shooting a compound bow, the time spent before actually having a bow (we both now have 2018 Bear Cruzer G2's for the last month) was invaluable in implementing the proper body mechanics and reiterating the need to focus on those all important fundamentals,
    just wanted to extend our gratitude and appreciation for your efforts, bless up eh for the gift that is each day!

    Just bought an older compound bow for my 13 yo boy that's never been shot and is at least 10 years old. Its an Alpine. Took it to an archery shop and they said it was ok without ever even pulling it back. (I've never used one). I've heard the string needs to be waxed. I presume that is something that can be done myself. My family Loves the Lord too so it's cool having a bro with a channel like this. GBY and Merry Christmas!!!

    look man, i never post comments, in fact this is my first. i started archery a little over two months ago, i got an older bowtech mighty mite. i WAS having trouble with accurate and consistent groupings due to my grip. i was shooting open handed, and i changed it to how you showed us. First group of 5 @ 20 yds i was breaking nocks how close together they are now. I only shoot 3 arrows now between 20 to 40 yds. Thanks a million, truly great vids, along with the others youve made. liked and subscribed

  • @cocteau14
    @cocteau14 6 лет назад +3

    For beginners, if you're right handed do you use left or right hand to hold the bow? Does a drawn arrow fire from the inner or outer side of the bow?

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  6 лет назад +3

      You hold the bow with your left hand, and the arrow goes on the side closes to your body when you pull back the bow. So that would be the inner side.

    Making a "true" connection with my teenage grandson is my goal. When they are little, it is easy. Teens get drawn to their piers. So he is interested in bow hunting, competition, and backyard target shooting. I am wanting to learn as much as I can, so I can be on the same page. I also want to get him more interested in reading something he likes and draw him away from the "screen" of a cell phone, Ipad, etc. Your video is the first I have watched and was thrilled to hear that you are a Christian, I learned a lot already. Anxious to learn more...maybe I can get my own bow. A praying Grandma

    Yeah I got my first compound bow and I actually came here to make sure I'm supposed to release at the very end of the draw. It felt a little odd with the let off as I came from a recurve. I'm glad I've been doing a lot of things right and I'm even more glad that I use the "finger resting"bow grip as opposed to gripping it like it's a .44 magnum. Sadly I did do something wrong. I used the wrong arrows. They ended up being waaaaaayyyy too weak for my bow and actually broke into three pieces. I'm glad nothing else got damaged, but my string derailed. Thanks for the information and keep loving Jesus brother!

The first few times I shot the bow I couldn’t even hit the target and I was really discouraged, and finally realized it was because I didn’t even know to use the peep site. Now I’ll have to add those multiple touch sites too. I’ll have to see if I can hold the bow like that, I don’t know if my arms are strong enough yet to hold it with just my fingers
