How to shoot a compound bow for beginners

- This video shows you the basics of how to shoot a compound bow the right way! There are a lot of videos out there that actually give you bad advice, hopefully, this will clarify some of that. There is also a picture of a cut finger as an example of what NOT to do when holding a bow.

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!
That is great. Be safe and enjoy it. God bless you
Same here
Hey dude, I just found your comment . I was just wondering if you have gotten any better?
A good question.
Same!!
I came looking for copper and I found gold. Thank you.
😄that's great!
The 45 degree grip advice just produced my best group to date.
Great!!!!!
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.
👍
I am glad it was resolved. God bless you.
I've been shooting for a long time and tested out that middle finger trick...so far its been huge to stabilize the bow and maintain a level grip. Keep up the good work Sean!
Thanks
As a beginner I liked how descriptive this was. All the other videos I tried watching were just "draw it back, make sure the arrow is on the rest, and release" and didn't help much. After watching this I feel confident enough to take my first shot. Thank you. I will subscribe and watch for more tips.
Thanks, James. I'm glad this helped. God bless you
Best beginner compound bow video I've found. Thank you!
Thanks so much! God bless you
Hallelujah man I'm a devoted Christian I've been raised that way and I love the tips keep up the good work
Amen. God bless you
@@seansoutdoors God bless you
This is so helpful I used to be really into archery and I own my own compound bow. I’ve recently been trying to get back into it and this is amazing advice
Great I'm glad it helped. God bless you.
closing my hand position after seeing that pic
Nubian Emporer ...or just use a drop away or whisker biscuit or any kind of arrow rest. Seriously who shoots off the shelf on a compound bow?!
Lore Co yeah...why bother with good fundamentals.
@@loreco7751 I'm guessing that given the title of the video that BEGINNERS are likely to shoot off the shelf. Thats just a guess though.....

Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. I actually responded to comment years ago, but ALL of my replies were deleted when changing the main email on my account, ugh. Anyway, I am going back through and re-replying to all old comments so they stop popping up in the unanswered post column of my RUclips studio. As you can see, I included some links to my website and social media links in case you are interested in checking any of it out. Thanks for your patience with this process. God bless you.
Just wanted to thank you. Finding your videos was the best thing to happen to my archery journey. Just starting out bow hunting and I am learning a huge amount from your videos. Thank you, keep it up and God Bless.
That is great! Glad you are finding the videos helpful! enjoy the journey and God bless you.
Just bought a Browning Explorer II and getting the string replaced today. I have 2 crossbows but I have never shot a compound bow. I figured I would just wing it and learn the bow but this is very helpful. Im not using for hunting, just recreational target shooting (for now) Thank you for taking the time to make this instructional video!
I'm glad it helped
@@seansoutdoors Yessir
Great advice Sean! Good news was that your friend's blood was bright red and plentiful, which probably made tracking himself easier.
Vital Point wtf? Hahahahaha
It was his hand
As a life long airgun shooter i am now going to give Archery a go as well looks like they are some good tips on here there Sean.
Great, good luck with it.
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!
8^)
Thanks, Enjoy it and God bless you guys!
Awsome video...bought a compound bow few months ago and by watching this video helped me learn the basics and fundamentals...I recommend watching all of Sean's videos....Thanks Sean...
That’s great! Glad they help. God bless you
Absolute brilliant delivery of fundamental information with the capability of significantly improving one's safety, accuracy & confidence during the critically important beginning period of bow hunting . Liked & subscribed.
Thanks so much, Joshua !!!
@@seansoutdoors Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Just got one and practicing. It’s super hard but with your video it helps so much. Thanks again and god bless
GREAT, clad to hear it. God bless ya.
I've only shot a bow a couple times as a kid. So this is a lot more than I never knew. Thank you.
Great, glad to hear it. that is why I make these kinds of videos. God bless ya
Seeing no negative comments but dislikes on this video. So dislike with no explanation? I’ll be hunting for the first time this year and I feel so much more confident after watching this! Thanks!
Thanks
Thank you for being confident to say you're a Christian, it encourages me when I see someone do that. It seems to be harder to do than it was when I was a kid. Very sad. Keep it up! :-)
You are welcome, and thanks for watching. God bless you.
Being 52 and thinking about taking up archery at such an old age makes me know i will never be neither robin hood or the archery Criss Kyle - Way too late for me, however your lessons(s) are extremly valuable - Thank you kindly - Deus Vult.
Thanks. Enjoy it.
Henrik Halby 51 is young brother! You’ll learn faster and have more patience! Go for it!
i started at 66 and I can outshoot most people with english long bow mongolian horse bow or Ranbo Special
Thank you for the video. I don’t hang out with many archery friends anymore so I really appreciate the refresher and insight. I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
You are welcome. Thanks for sharing, I am glad it helped.
Thanks for reviewing safety. I am a sports doctor and the wrist anchor you are using allows for a better biomechanical motion at your wrist and will reduce finger tendonitis. Thanks for the tips for my family.
You are welcome, Nancy. Thanks for watching and God bless you.
Hey Sean, glad I found your site. Got into bow hunting many years ago, but haven't had
the opportunity to do so for a few years. Your video was a nice refresher.
I use an early model Bowtech ... a 2006 Tribute...and love it.
Nice

Great tips! Really great! My new bow arrived! It was set up for me by a professional. I can't wait to get to the range to try your tips.
Thanks!
I just placed an order for a compound bow set up. There is a archery club about 45 mins from me so I hope to find some "professional" help!
Best of luck to you. God bless you.
Good lord what an amazing gift it would be to have a bow set up by you. I don’t have the knowledge and mainly the equipment to do EVERY thing by myself. But to see a fellow archer that is so obsessed with detail as much as I am is awesome. I can only imagine what kind of beautiful compound bow could be created with your knowledge and attention to detail. I would do anything for a chance to own a bow you put together. God bless you man! Thanks for all the knowledge you’ve given me!
Wow, thanks so much! God bless you!
ive been shooting for 50 years thought i would do a" how to video"-then i watched yours, mine could not be any better than yours -easy to listen,right to the point--sooo why should i bother--GREAT JOB
Wow, thanks, Pete. God be with you
Just bought a new compound bow . I learned a lot .Thanks . PTL
like to no that it is 60lb bow high country 4runner bow is that a good bow to hunt with
I wish you would shoot a pro series 4runner high country and tell me what you thank about it if I done good I give 250 for it but a new bow is to high for a left hand person

Great video brother. I’ve haven’t shot since I was a teen and have been thinking about it since following Joe Rogan’s podcasts the last few years. I’m of First Nations background and have always felt, it’s the truest form of hunting, and I can honour the spirituality of the hunt and the animal. I’m excited to learn as much as I can and find a bow suitable to my needs. 😉🙏🏼🇨🇦 Keep up the great work.
Wow that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy it!
Just received a compound bow for Christmas. This video gave me great information and was a fantastic presentation. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching, be safe and God bless you.
Thanks for the info Sean. Getting my SB1 delivered today. Can't wait to use your tips.
Awesome. Enjoy it.
Awesome and educational videos, I really enjoy watching them so I become more consistent. I also have my daughter watch and shes 8 cause I want her to learn the right way; we love Bow shooting and GOD BLESS you and thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Scott. I like hearing it. God bless you both. Safe shooting.
Thanks a lot for this video, I recently got my first compound and I'm looking to get better at it. These are great tips and I subscribed to your channel, as a fellow Christian I can expect to get good, honest advice. Thanks again!
Thank you and God bless you.
@@seansoutdoors God bless you too, Sean, and keep up the great content for beginners like me! I do have one question, I got a secondhand Browning from someone taller than me. At full draw, it comes past my ear. Do you have a video explaining how to customize the pull length? (Forgive me if I'm misusing any terms)
@@captainjackknife5817 Each brand has its own way to adjust draw length, and some do not adjust for it. You need to check with the manufacturer to see how it is done.
@@seansoutdoors much appreciated, I will do my research. Thanks!
Sure thing
I’ve shot bows for about 2 years but that was 7 years ago so I needed a refresh perfect video man keep it up
Awesome, glad to hear it.
i'm new to archery and this is by far the best video I've seen on this topic. Subbed.
Thank you!!! God bless you
Great video, the first time I shot my bow I ended up smoking my forearm with the string, I opened up my stance all good now, great tip with the hand placement,I'm going to incorporate it. Thanks

Thanks glad you think that way. God bless ya
Sean's Outdoor Adventures ok I bought a compound bow today none of my arrows that I use with my recurve fit in the rest They get caught in the brushes on the rest and won't go down range
@@doomslayer3036 Sounds like you need arrows rated for your bow.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures I don't see how any arrows I've seen would be able to fit through the rest unless the fletchings are about a 8th inch the passage is small also its one of the hostage rests that ive seen reviews on but never seen a review of them in use or attached to a bow so they might just be poorly made
@@doomslayer3036 Take it to a pro shop and let them show you what you need.
I’m taking my 2nd hand bow out in the am for the first time. Thank you for putting out videos for us first timers
Enjoy it and be safe.
After a 16 year hiatus I've started shooting again and WOW am I rusty! Thanks for the great video!
Welcome back
thanku for this amazing video it helped me alot
Great glad to hear it. God bless you
Woah!! That’s really a compound one there!! Not ever seen anything like that. When I was much younger I used to shoot with a simple bow.
Thanks. It is a nice bow. God bless you.
I have never shot a bow before and my husband bought me on for christmas. Very excited to shoot it and thanks for the educational videos!
Great, please make sure you wear an arm guard when you shoot! Trust me on that one. Just about every beginner hits their arm with the string and it can really hurt and leave a black and blue mark. God’s blessings on your efforts.
I've been hunting for years with rifles and shotguns. I'm 36 and receive my very first bow from a friend. I got it inspected yesterday and purchased all the aids needed. Today will be my first shot "after church" and wanted to say your vids are the most helpful. Thank you!

I think I've watch this video 20 times I finally shot my bow for the first time today and after sighting in at 20 yards I'm doing 1.5 inch groups
Great!
3.6 hours spent watching this video
Excellent video. Returning to the hobby from 25 years ago, and just bought a new bow and took a couple of lessons. You solidified a couple of questions I had, and I KNOW my stance was not correct. Can't wait to hit my range again tomorrow to true it up.
Thanks.
This is absolutely the best video I’ve found and I give this video credit for my success today. I’m on target at 80 yards and splitting arrows at 20. I share this video with everyone I know wanting to get better at archery. Thanks again!
Wow great shooting! Praise God! Thanks for sharing, also. Gif bless you
Also the video was very helpful.
Thanks!
getting a new compound soon. great video. it's really helpful
seansoutdoor I just got into archery and got my first compound bow this past week. I have some back issues and sometimes have a trimmer in my left hand do you think a single adjustable sight would be better for me?
seansoutdoor i was told you can use only one type of arrows for recuve and compound bows. Can you use compound arrows for recurve bows or dose it matter?
seansoutdoor so since i can't use 30 pound arrows on a 30 pound draw weight what can i use? and fletches on my arrows are like this foam material. God bless you

I just got a compound bow. It is very fun and relaxing. I think better than golf...lol
My 1st shoot today and I found it relaxing.
I am very thankful for you showing how hand positioning is supposed to be. I am a beginner in archery and was taught to have my hand open but after seeing that picture I am definitely changing my ways.
Great. God bless you.
Applying your grip tech nique to my shooting helped me tremendously. Something that simple made all the difference in the world. Thanks for posting.
AWESOME, praise the lord, Jesus, glad to hear it! Enjoy the shooting.
Blessings from Sweden
Thanks
Good Video
God bless Merica
Thanks. God bless you as well!
I just received my first bow a month ago, a used PSE firefight 33. It belonged to my dad. Long story short, I didn't have a clue about archery. I found your channel and have been watching your tips, sharing them with my son, and we are having a blast in the backyard shooting together. Thanks for the time and effort you put into the videos, well done & very informative.

I was told to keep my hand open. WTF man. I'm Glad I saw this video.
Lol, definitely don't do that if you intend to hunt, as you can see, it isn't a good idea!
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!!!
Thanks. Here is a video on waxing the bow string ruclips.net/video/1NmZ0BTSdV4/видео.html
God bless you and Merry Christmas
Excellent video, just getting into archery so all of this information is very helpful and I always appreciate instructors who give legitimate reasons as to why they do something and not just "this is the way I was taught". Will check out the book as well, that seems right up my alley.

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?
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.
I'm right handed and hold the bow with my left hand.
I'm a Christian and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior as well. I'm a very big gun enthusiast and I hunt. However due to the current situations were facing I've recently taken up bows. I've watched many vids and I find you have explained the fundamentals the best! Thank you for your time brother!!! God bless
Thank you so much. I have many other videos if you want to check them out. God bless you.
My son's and I have bought 4 Compound bows in the last 30 days and I have told them to watch your RUclips video for how to shoot a compound bow for beginners and we will have a test for each of us before going to the range. I started shooting bows in the 60's but todays bows are so much more advanced than then. Thanks a will let you know how the test go's. RT

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.
Thanks God bless you
When you said I am a Christian I instantly subbed. plus your content on your videos are great
Praise the Lord Jesus, thanks
"I am a Christian and I love Jesus." Best line of the video :)
the casual "what ever" after it made me really happy for some reason

Thanks, Thomas. Glad it was helpful. I will be giving a bow away this year. Stay tuned. You just never know.
Nice to see that you are a Christian
Amen, thanks. God bless you.
nice archery skills. I like that you talked bout Jesus. God is good
Thanks, Angelo! Glad to hear it! God bless you

Thank you Sean. As a beginner this video was a tremendous help. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Sure thing David. God bless you and thanks for watching.
Thanks, my son is starting to shoot & bow hunt so I’m definitely having him watch this. God bless
Great! Enjoy the process
I bought him a bear apprentice 3 with all the fixings & I’m real happy with it, he handles it really well.

Jesus is the real goat 🙏🐐
@@connormcgovern2888 Technically, he is the Lamb of God, not goat.
Sean thanks for the great tips man I improved my shot just by holding the bow the way you showed it allowed me to really zone in on the target and group my shots Damn near paper thin apart and on mark. Not shooting w my pointer finger out made the difference these guys at the archery shops were saying I should have my hand opened on the grip of the bow and my shots were inconsistent and when I did what you said here my shots were dead on immediately thanks bbrithet keep the good videos coming and good luck this season now I'm more comfortable going into my 2nd season
Wow, glad to hear it. Best of luck to you. God bless you.
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
That is great! God bless you!
Why would u show his finger atleast give us a warning
David, I don't know what you are talking about?
I apologize. In the future, if anything like this comes up, I will insert a warning first. God bless you.
Don’t be a baby
If you see a camo compound bow... there is a good chance there could be some gore in the video 😄
I hear ya though, I habe a friend who passes out when he sees blood, a strange condition
Ohh come on be a man
im a christan to # JESUS RULES
Amen amen!
Sean's Outdoor Adventures what church do you go to I go to freedom house church of god in trenton ohio.
Holy Spirit Church - here in Pennsylvania.
Sean' I got to ask you something my bow got a wheel on top and a cram on the bottom it's got 123 on the bottom what is them for
You have what is called a single cam bow. These are good for beginners because they typically have a smooth draw cycle and also do not require as much tuning maintenance. The 1,2,3 is most likely three different draw length settings.
Sean, love your videos, getting back into archery for the first time since scouting of my youth. Love Jesus too and I am teaching my youngest daughter archery from what I remember and your videos. Thank you for what you do, and yes I did hear from a priest of mine about the word sin. Great stuff love your channel!
That's great. Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your family!
God bless you...am so glad I just found your channel, just bought myself a compound bow, am a beginner
Great glad to hear it.
I'm an avid muzzle loader/gun hunter that has always been intimidated by bows. I don't have many friends that hunt and no one that bow hunts. Without Sean's videos I don't think I would have started. I'm totally hooked and shooting well. Also dusted off the good book and started reading scripture again. Thanks Sean for all you do!!!
Amen, praise God!!
Rock on, brother! I shot target recurves many years ago and now just got my first compound (Edge 320) to hunt some whitetail for my first archery season ever this fall. All these things are coming back to me now. Thanks!
You're welcome! God bless you
Cool video!! I've been on the fence with making the transition from rifle hunting to compound bow hunting but honestly I have zero knowledge on hunting with a compound bow!! Or even knowing how to properly use one for that matter!! But watching this video has answered a few questions I had regarding the topic!! Thanks
Thanks. It takes some practice to get good at it. If you are on the fence, I would suggest trying a bow out a few times before buying one. Wait until you know it is something you want to do so that you are not spending a bunch of money and then don't end up sticking with it.
I've hunted mostly rifle and don't plan on quitting but I'm just getting into archery and discovering a completely different world of hunting. What helped me off the fence was a cheap 150 lb crossbow that I practiced with until I got good groups and the amazement I had when I realized I could fill all my tags in a short amount of time with a small herd and no bang. Barnett has a nice recurve crossbow for less than 150 bucks. Now I'm shooting a compound and love it but don't plan on not snipeing them at 250 yards either. The cheapest 150 lb crossbow that I had would shoot a complete pass through with a 20 inch bolt and a 100 grain 6 dollar 3 blade broadhead
Best video I've seen on this topic, love the content, keep it up Sean
Thanks, Micah. I appreciate that. God bless you.
Thanks dude. I’ve literally just started archery! I am going to grab your book too!
Great. Glad it helped. Hope you enjoy the book. God bless you.
It’s not just in archery, the true meaning of the word sin is to miss the mark. Great info, cheers mate.
Amen .. That's why I wrote the book and included the chapter on life and sin... Amen.
Great video love the fact it's not alot of fumbling around like many other videos I've seen.
Thank you!
Ok wow I can already tell I’m going to have do a repeat watch of this. I’m loving your channel Sean, it’s a treasure trove of information. I got the diamond SB-1 a couple weeks ago based on your videos, I had never shot a compound bow before so I’m just learning and these are some great tips that I’ll have to practice. 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
Awesome. God bless you!
best review by far and finally someone who speaks clear and dosen't sound like boomhower on king of the hill... Bravo brother...
Thanks!! God bless ya
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!
Glad you were not hurt. The arrows were so light it the bow acted as if it dry fired. Be safe. God bless you
What a great video! Been hunting for 25 years and finally adding archery season next year much to my wife's dismay.
Lol thanks
I have watched your videos with focus and thank you very much! I am new to archery and am using your video as a guide to get started! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Great! I'm glad it was helpful. God bless you
You're absolutely correct in what you say Sean. All beginners should learn from your video to become an accomplished archer. When beginners started off with heavy poundage bows they will have difficulty practicing the correct grip. Thanks to your video they will learn to do the correct thing.
Thanks
Just got my new PSE Evolve bow last week. Watched your vids and think you have the best advice and instruction to offer.
Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. God bless you.

Great video Sean. Just watched your video with my boy's who are 9 and 11. They both have been shooting for about 3 years. You provide some very good tips. I just started shooting myself a little over a week ago. I purchased a Bowtech Carbon icon. I am very happy with it so far. I have taken heed of a lot of your advice and it has seemed to help a lot. Keep the videos coming. It's also great to hear your a brother in the Lord. God bless you.
Amen, thanks brother. Enjoy the shooting! God bless ya

Just got mine for christmas! Thank you for this video, it helped a lot!
Great! Enjoy it! God bless you
Thanks for the video. I didn't know I could adjust the poundage of my bow.
You’re welcome! God bless you
I started with crossbows and now I'm learning how to shoot a compound. Thanks for the info!
Awesome
Thanks for the video. I just started shooting about a month ago, and I see quite a few things I have to work on. This was great and explained a lot. I'll try some of these tips when I hit the range tomorrow and see how it goes.
Great! God bless you
