Perfect. No-one teaches this stuff when you're learning. What has taken me two years to sort out you've explained in nine minutes. Wish I'd had this years ago.
i don't know how many if your lessons I watched in 2 days (a lot) and they are all to the point, clear and answer both very common and specific questions. loving your channel. subscribed.
This is the probably the most beneficial video for my archery, since I started shooting. Went from having mostly correct height, but a lot of left to right arrows, to really tight groups at 30m and 50m. Focusing now more on back tension, string picture and release rather than getting hung up on the clicker aiming. Can't wait to shoot 70m now. Thank you Ashe, amazing!!
Hi Ashe, great ability to put together, explain and clarify all aspects of each phase of the recurve archery technique. Thanks for this and all the other videos.
This helped me soo much, even just yesterday i was really fixated on getting my sight correct and my form also started to collapse, it's really imp to pay attention to the flow of the whole thing, today's practice went much much better thanks to this video
Excellent advice, thanks. I'm getting back into archery after a 15-year break and, being in my late 70's, I'd forgotten most of this... Doing what you suggest has immediately reduced my group-size by 50% 👍
This is the BEST explanation of aiming I have seen. Detailed, easy to understand (amazing how some of the other big RUclipsrs overcomplicate this!), and simple to execute once giving it a go on my own bow!!! SOLID.
Thank you. I have been struggling with this. Your description was just perfect and seeing the green circle move on the target was brilliant as I am much better with visuals.
That was excellent, thanks. I'm watching this not being an archer, only got into watching recurve archery recently (and quickly getting stuck with Korean archers), and I'm intrigued about the small details of what I'm actually watching. I picked this video after reading the advise 'not to aim' (overly), which I found utterly confusing. No longer. I'm even more impressed now.
perfect.used to discuss it during our practice hours..we it clears lots of confusion...thanks for such beautiful explanation ..it helps lots of young archers to learn quickly
I am learning archery from a teacher atm. We learn that you cant put the string picture anywhere on the sight pin. We should use any place on or near (left or right from) the riser. The reason given is that the sight pin will move when you adjust the visor (for instance when changing distance from 18 to 25 meter). Choosing the same position on the riser at all times, you limit the variables, making each shot point the same direction.
Even though I personally never understood the allure of shooting dots, I do appreciate the time and effort you have put forth here. As a hunter, I found that mastering instinctive shooting to be my best bet. I do own a PSE compound bow with pin sights but I never tried to hunt with it. I still hunt with the same Bear Kodiak Magnum that I have had since the mid '60's. Same nocking point, same draw, same anchor point and consistent release add up to make it a stone cold killer. I'm in my 70's now but still pull several hundred shots a day. Not near as many as in my hunting days but enough to keep me in shape.
Hi ,seen a few of your vids now..extremely helpful to me!..However,both eyes open,,,I get that more light would enter the vision process so to speak..But what about double vision of the sight pin..becomes 2 if both eyes are open..Do we simply just pick one?.TIA for reply..Kind regards
Really helpfull couching as every time. Thank u so much for videos! Greets from Germany. We will have a 720 Tournement on 5 of September. Maybe i can do some pic's or short Videos so u can watch what i learned with your videos. But i dont now how i can send it to u🤗
I would like to present the hyposhesis that "aiming" is done by alignment of the bow towards the target by using the firm frame of the bone structure alignment, rather than moving the bow arm alone. The pin dropping into the gold could be practiced as a gross motor skill, but the final aim should be done after transfer while holding, but with exspensive repetiton these prosses will merge into muscles memory so aiming becomes a single check of the pin pos Before release, of course this coordination must be a concious effort as you coordinate muscles movement rather than aiming aktiv with one limb compared to "aiming" with alignment and boody frame to ensure the balance between isometric and contraction work load, this of course discont the push pull balance, but is supported by archemides where the bow arm is longer than the draw arm. Looking foward to your thoughts
I applied everything you mentioned here and things are improving from 40m to 70m. But I am struggling at 18m to 30m because the arrows are hitting the target too quickly, before bow swing, that I can't focus on doing a complete shot. Is there such thing as short distance target panic? Everything under 30m is just so hectic and going everywhere.
Do you have a video that tells you how to know which many different directions the wind is blowing? Somebody told me at the range I go to is to pay attention to the trees
@ the end of the video you speak of sight path. Should I be setting my aim while performing the sight path, before or during after I start drawing my bow?
1:08 huh, interesting, in shooting firearms, you make the target blurry and the front sight post clear, but in archery it's the opposite. Thanks for the info
A funny thing I noticed. I have gone from airrifle shooting to recurve and not until you mentioned that I should look at the target and not the sight, did it click. I should know that, it's the same in rifle shooting...
Eastern european countries tend to aim early and it is my opinion shortest path to target panic. Ive seen archers releasing string in the middle of draw just because they happen to have sight on 10 ring. Really dangerous practice, also forcing them to kink their wrist and use bicep while drawing.
Good video, this is what I do most of the time. try to fix my sight and shoot.. however, as you say it moves my impact area because when I do my expansion and release, it moves the sight pin :). Also, I shoot with one eye closed. I will try your suggestion and see how it helps. Thanks for the video.
Great explanation and helpful video My focus should be also on the string picture..I often neglect this point which is important for the shooting…any ideas to fix this ???
Practicing occasionally with one eye closed to make the string picture easier to check is good as a drill, and also checking it during bow training is great!
Hello, I wear glasses (64 years old) but once my vision is corrected I have 12 in my left eye and 10 in my right eye. My dominant eye is the right eye. When I try to shoot with both eyes open I am 40cm to the left of the target shooting at 18m. My left eye naturally takes over... If I understand correctly for you, the placement of the rope is part of the aim and the aim must be flexible so that the movement is fluid. I noticed that if I shoot with the clicker without intentional aiming my arrows still arrive in my success zone, or even better. During a discussion with a French champion he told me that he was not consciously aiming. Is it possible???
Thanks so much for this video. I shoot LH, does it mean that my sight would start at like 11 o’clock position and down towards the centre assuming that it’s mirrored. Thanks
Very good advice, especially the open ring tipp! (Beiter aperture rules!) Got a question regarding the “one eye closed“ thing: Depending on lightning i sometimes struggle to see my string picture (contrast should be good, bright red string and black riser). Closing (or at least almost closing) one eye helps me with that issue. Right handed and right eye dominant. Is this the way to go ? And if it is, should i close the eye consistently or should i leave it open when lighting allows it?
There is nothing you can do 😢be sides getting glasses, since your eyes are controlled by the brain it switches from focal point (distance) like a camera when you focus far sigthed on the target what ever close to eye will be blury regardles of contrast. Also according to pytagoras, if you aim is in the gold (fixed) and your head is in the same posission the angel of the string (picture) should also be fixed, unless you grip and tourqe the string or change the angle of the hook wrist or elbow, and then there is the fact that what ever the string does is over rueled by what ever newton equation happening at the plunger and that variable will always be present due to finger release
As for eye dominance it does not matter, your brain can switch and do what ever works best for you closing one eye does not change the arrow launch geometri, having both open gives you more depth vision, but the arrow can fly with both your eyes closed.
Hi I dont use a sight on my bow, is it important to get one? Whats the best tips for shooting without? Ive been shooting for 3 weeks now, I get 6-9 out of 12 in the gold currently from about 28m (thats all the space I have in my garden)
Great explanation. Do you have any solution if the archers are having difficulties on aiming ? scared to aim yellow. Appreciate if you can share. Thanks.
It depends on how good your early coaching is and your patience to start with the technique basics - assuming an ideal start with bands, then light...etc, at the very quickest I'd say 5 years. Realistically 8-12, and for some people maybe longer...
Personally, I never use a sight pin. I simply place a ring (sight ring) on a ring (9/10 ring.) I find it impossible to hold a pin steadily on the gold. 🤗🤗
I have a major problem that I am unable to draw the bow all the way to my nose before i shoots i can't control it. I release way too early when I find the yellow. Its an automatic brain release that I am unable to control. I'm struggling a lot with it. As i need to do full draw to be consistent at higher distances
As a long time pistol shooter; 'Aiming point' is a deceiving description. It tends to stick with shooters. "Area of aim" might be more appropriate? Other than that really appreciate your coaching.
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.

This is fantastic information, I have not used my bow for 14 years and this brings helps to bring back my old school training. Thank You
Hands down, the best explanation I’ve heard (and understood) about aiming. Thank you so much.
Thank you :) Very useful tips. I have been shooting a bow for a year and there were many things I didn't know
I love your way of speaking and teaching! Perfect!

These helped me so much since i just joined the archery and had a bag aiming

An open ring really helped me mostly at 18m, my overaiming immediately got fixed. I recommend this!

What you say is exact the same important moments as in most other shooting. Werry good.

Hi Ashe,
Do you have a recommendation when shooting with a vertical triple face target?

Hey i have a problem with both eyes open... When im aiming with both eyes open there will be 2 sight pin. How to fix that or is it just like that?
I have same question.. any body please answer...
why can my arm straight when pull a bow any solution and exercise I can do?
Hi I dont use a sight on my bow, is it important to get one? Whats the best tips for shooting without? Ive been shooting for 3 weeks now, I get 6-9 out of 12 in the gold currently from about 28m (thats all the space I have in my garden)
I have the same question...
Just what I needed , I have been struggling with aiming
Nice
❤
I just started shooting and I wonder why it should "fall" down from the right?
I think I normaly come from the left... I think.
if you are shooting barebow where should the string picture be?
Same question from me ...
Great explanation. Do you have any solution if the archers are having difficulties on aiming ? scared to aim yellow. Appreciate if you can share. Thanks.
Should I reverse your instructions since I shoot left handed?
Can you tell me how long it will take to become a professional archer. And to compete at world class level(if you practice daily)?
It depends on how good your early coaching is and your patience to start with the technique basics - assuming an ideal start with bands, then light...etc, at the very quickest I'd say 5 years. Realistically 8-12, and for some people maybe longer...
im semi accurate at 10 yards and i taught myself so im hoping i can get better aim with this video
It is very good video. I am also an archer
Do LH archers need to keep the pin high and right as well?
Reverse it for LH, so the path should be a mirror image - high and left
@@OnlineArcheryAcademy Thank you.
Personally, I never use a sight pin. I simply place a ring (sight ring) on a ring (9/10 ring.) I find it impossible to hold a pin steadily on the gold. 🤗🤗
maybe add "with a sight" in the title ...
Agree ...
100% this is ok but my last of his vids. Bro only shoots target
Agree. Using a sight on a longbow feels like cheating
But the thumbnail-
Shopt however you want. But if you want a sight then compound might be the way to go 😊
If your body condition does not allow you have an open stance, can a closed stance be utilized?
I don't use a sight - what do you suggest?
Use the tip of your arrow to aim. Your string blur, sight path etc will remain the same as if you have a sight.
I have a major problem that I am unable to draw the bow all the way to my nose before i shoots i can't control it. I release way too early when I find the yellow. Its an automatic brain release that I am unable to control. I'm struggling a lot with it. As i need to do full draw to be consistent at higher distances

I suck at hitting the gold! :(
