I think that the size of point, arrow diameter, and the size and type of fletching is important. higher power shots might get stopped if the arrows were big, bad assed arrows haha. those skinny arrows used by a lot of folks would probably be looking in the woods for their arrows with high powered bows.

Thanks. Im glad that you enjoyed it all. I’m sorry about the lack of content. my shoulder just refuses to heal enough to allow me to shoot regularly. I’d need to shoot regularly to produce content. I continue to hope that I’ll be able to shoot more often, and start filming again though. but I can’t promise anything at the moment.

@@Coen_Shoots_dsht Nah, don't worry about the videos, health comes first. I myself had some shoulder issues as well, nothing I could do but wait and let it rest. Wishing all the best 👍 Till then, I'll just check out the other videos. I like the fact that there is actually a chronological series of training and development, a totally logical thing to do. Those who are 'confident' enough to create an opinion after watching only one (or two) videos...haha, well, they are the ones who just react, but don't use their brains. Don't ever give a sht about those lol

I’m my own personal experience, and from everything that I’ve read, recurves are more forgiving that longbows, in general. There will always be exceptions, depending on the brand, set up, and quality of the bow, as well as the experience of the archer. in general though, recurves offer more grace than longbows.

A long way from better, but it’s not complete toast. I’m able to shoot every once in a while, but not enough to say “I’m back behind the bow” 😞. I’m pretty sure that it’s as good as it will ever get. I did a number on it. 😞 thanks for asking bud

Ok. Thanks. It looks like a Fleetwood new frontier. How do you like that longbow?

It’s my favourite bow. I would shoot it all day long, if I could. sorry for the late reply, youtube decided not to notify me of your comment.

I have both longbow and recurve from mandarin duck, as well as the same from a cheap knock off from Amazon. They’re nearly identical, aside from some of the markings. definitely not crap though… even the knock off wasn’t bad. I guess I was lucky.

18m

thanks. I haven’t been shooting much in about a year now. I suffered an injury in both shoulders, so shooting has been very difficult. I hope to get back to shooting regularly soon though.

Like any of us needs an excuse to buy a new bow haha.

Hey Sig. thanks for checking in bud. my shoulder was worse than I expected so I’m just taking some more time to try and heal it. I was hoping to be back behind the bow by Nov,… then Jan… but it might be spring before I’m up to it. winter is long and hard here, and shovelling snow doesn’t help haha. I’m still around though and I hope to be back soon… really hope.

I’ve never liked using a finger sling.

I’ve no idea. never heard of Elmont nor of Bingham Kit bows. I do know that the antelope is made by Win Win.

Elmont Owns Bingham Archery and sells a lot of Bowyer supplies along with some kits that he designed for guys who want to attempt a bow build and that looks exactly like his 60” Recurve 👌

I figured it wouldn’t be cheap.

Haha, thanks. I’ll take it 🤪

Me too. From what I understand, it reduces contact of the arrow with the bow, and it is adjustable, so that you can change the centre shot position. There’s a spring inside of the plunger that makes the tip that touches the bow move as the arrow passes it… like a cushion, it keeps the arrow clear of the rest and the riser, but minimises the contact with the cushioning…. I think haha

@@Coen_Shoots_dsht that sounds great but I’m not sure that I understand yet, so it makes the arrow go faster, or it just takes less time to correct itself. Very interesting 🤨👍🏼

I don’t think that it changes the arrows speed, it just reduces the amount of contact between the bow and the arrow, it also gives you the ability to adjust where the arrow sits on your arrow rest relative to the centre, and that will effect whether the arrow hits left, right, or in the middle of your target.

@@Coen_Shoots_dsht gotch ya.

haha thanks Sig

The only thing I could harvest here in November would be boogers and bad weather haha. I kinda agree with the early October timing. Same here for the other holidays… only I wear my poppy from thanksgiving till nov 11. As soon as they start selling them, I start wearing one… I subscribe to the legion… so mine come early haha.

Haha

@@Coen_Shoots_dsht What is your draw length? Im a lanky ass with 31.5" draw and am considering this bow. I shoot the Black hunter 60" just fine, but having more information is never a bad thing. You might have mentioned it in the video but I cant watch the whole thing right now.

my draw length is the same as yours, 31.5”, I also shoot the black hunter recurve and the longbow with no problems. this bow is no different. I will say that my BH recurve 30# is faster than this bow is at #30… the antelope doesn’t have the power that the BH does. Sorry about the slow reply, UA-cam keeps flagging your comments as spam haha, so I don’t see them right away.

Thanks, they always say... there's always that one arrow... for me there's always those six haha

@@Coen_Shoots_dshtLOL. No it only looked like 2 too me.

My pleasure!

Doing that high style of draw made my shoulder injury worse... To the point where I had to stop shooting for a while to recover from it. If you've seen Survivor Lilly's draw, it was something like that. Once I stopped that and switched to the side draw, everything improved and now I don't experience any pain at all. Once archers find the thing that works... everything just starts falling into place for them. Gotta love the groove.

I’ve seen you shoot… depending on what you’re shooting at, you tend to make small changes, but for the most part, your draw is similar to mine… your process is much faster then mine is though. almost snap shooting. but that’s good for shooting in the field. I’ve never done that, so I’ve no idea how I’d shoot for those types of targets.

Even being able to see the thing at 20 is something for me hahaha. Thanks Sig ;)

Especially when you can't even see them hahaha

PLAN! 😲

hahaha no.

Sig, I just spent two hours in the yard shootin, and I hit everything I shot at... didn't film a second of it haha. Yup... talking is certainly a distraction. ;) But then... it wouldn't be Coen Shoots d'shit anymore hahaha. ;) It would be... fat, boring, bald dude shooting arrows haha.

@@Coen_Shoots_dsht for sure! Yes it never fails. As soon as the cameras on might as well hang it up lol.

you own no guilt Fred. it’s just how things work these days. I’m just tying to save some folks some time. 30 acres 😲 I wish there was something like that near me. wow. Out of curiosity… which martial art?

Thanks Fred, but that would hurt my shoulder pretty badly. I raise my bow off to one side avoid inflaming the tendinitis injury in my draw shoulder. It's much more comfortable and there's zero pain when I draw with my elbow 90 degrees from my body, and drawing with my back muscles, rather than using my shoulder to start the draw. Learned to do it from Jake Kaminski, then adapted it to suit my injury. (note... commenting from my other channel... haha oops ;P)

That's exactly what I'm doing Sig. I'm also doing it on purpose :). Got some tips from some folks quite some time ago about bow hand grip and finger pressure that were really helpful. The gripping happens after release and the arrow is long gone by then. The tilt you see might just be me trying to aim... I know that after release I have a slightly Asian style of follow through. Means I point the tip of the bow at the target a little after release. That might also look like a tilt.

I've been doing that for a really long time now. I've watched it back many times on slow mo. The arrow is long gone by the time I close my hand. So it has no effect on the arrow. I just do it to keep me from squeezing the bow and to force me to push the bow handle into my palm, and not hold the bow with my fingers. It also stops the bow from flying out of my hand onto the ground haha.
