    Starting my first (non-summer camp) archery lessons today. I've always loved archery, but never really thought about doing it as an adult. They opened up a place 30 minutes from me, and decided to take the opportunity. The only awkward thing is that I'll probably be in a class full of 10 year olds. Wish me luck on that end.

      @BeastOuncelifeian 2 роки тому +1

      I was in the same boat.
      Found a decent bow on a resale app that looked great,like I couldn't afford it new. It cost me $50, and came with 6 arrows. They were too short,I'd draw them right off the arrow rest. So, i got longer ones of the same type. THAT broke my bank!
      $12 each, or 12 for $94.!
      After monitoring food,gas,and everything else, I got 12 of them.
      You're right, this hobby is expensive.
      I still need sights,the little round parts you put on your string on either side of the nock,and maybe the rollers for either side of those.
      I'm shooting without for now.
      Last night, my neighbor finally hung the target we split cost on(i did yard work for my hslf--> no out of pocket cost!). He also has a "bare" recurve.
      First shot,from 35-50yards(,I'm putting a measuring tape on the distance today) and I hit the ring around the bullseye. 15 shots,and 3 arrow hunts later,and im only hitting the backstop. Last shot,light fading, degenerative disc disease playing hell with my nerves...I set my arrow,and my back screams and the precussion burns down to my toes.
      I sit down,bow in hard,arrow ready to be set again....and I'm mad at my body. Really mad. Took a drink of coffe while considering weather or not to take another shot, or pack it in for the night. Light fading fast, I decide to pack it in. I got arrows in the backstop, so decided to let this last one fly recklessly -- while sitting.
      I draw,air,let go....fast.
      Bullseye 🎯.
      Now, After this video, I hope to do MUCH better. I can see what i was doing wrong with my stance,grip,and release. Hopefully i can at least keep them on the backstop!
      Thank You for the upload!
      My other point is:
      just like any hobby, there are ways around SOME costs, but you WILL find a way if you want to badly enough.
      Good luck ,everyone

    • @kelvinsparks4651
      @kelvinsparks4651 8 місяців тому +1

      Wow a 50lb to learn with is quite a hefty weight, I would suggest getting a set of lighter limbs to learn your technique and strengthen the muscles you'll be using. I did exactly the same thing when I started years ago , I bought a59lb compound and thought I'd be an instant Robin Hood lol , needless to say my dreams very short lived 😂

      Pay attention the more you train long the more you re exposed to injuries.and it 's very hard to obtain a good technique with this strength.
      There are Champions who use less than 50 lb without affecting them result.

  • @gneissnicebaby

    I just started learning archery and these fundementals remind me so much of the fundementals of playing the violin and fencing.
    I played the violin for over a decade and a lot of success with playing the violin comes from good posture and good consistent technique. The same goes with fencing. The way you're "sitting" in en garde or "resting" the rapier in your hand can mean a world of difference in your ability to strike your target and move out of the way fast.
    I love these sort of activities and I can't wait to get to the range again 😊

    I just had my first lesson yesterday, and although I was 'range cleared' I still feel like a bit of a pleb 😂 Thanks for your tips!!

    Is there a difference between the stance for targets, vs for hunting?

      I'm not a hunting expert but I would think so :) I expect with hunting it's a case of fitting your feet where you can so the stance will be more narrow
