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.
Lol. That's how I felt when I took my first guitar lessons. I was in a class full of kids and shit. I ended up getting a private tutor😆 Saved me the embarrassment and plus I liked the one-on-one lessons much better.
Oh how I wish I could be a professional Archer... Here in Morocco, it turns out to be so expensive to train on archery, and there are no clubs for this sport. 😢
Thanks so much for this video. I’m 67 years old and I’m going to try archery lessons, for the first time in the next few weeks. Before I do that I’m going to practice with your tips. Well done.
It’s like the beginning of the video is missing just jumps right into “stance”. Normally I complain videos take too long to get to it but blammo here’s the opposite and I like it.
It was such a relief to just immediately get into it instead of listening to 1-2 minutes of rambling like so many videos on the internet tend to do 😌THAT'S how you get views and viewer retention, thank you. I'm glad I clicked on your video first. I'm taking an archery 101 class with through my local Parks & Recreation today. I know absolutely nothing about using a bow and arrow so I want to go into it with at least *some* understanding.
As a young 12 year old girl who is self tough in archery thank you so much for this upload and being so good at explains and showing everyone how we should be doing everything smart and safe.
I just started archery and decided to start with a 50LB Recurve and Iove it. I love this tutorial. I learned a lot. The last guy is a trooper, holding that bow that long perfectly still. One strong man for sure.
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.
i am a new sign language interpreter and have been assigned to interpret for a deaf student in his archery practice. As I know noting about archery, it is great to have your videos to give me a ton of vocabulary and information about the sport. I feel better prepared when I go into practice. Thanks!
Just got a bow for archery season, I'm a decent shot at 20 yards (within 6 inches of aim point) but still have alot to learn. Thanks mate, I'll use everything you said
I've been shooting for 2yrs and have recently taken up bikram yoga. 3 x 90min classes a week and 2 x HIT Pilates a week and its improved my archery ten fold.
I'm not exactly new to archery but i know there is plenty to learn, for instance i just shot my bow a few times and my arrows were decent but not on point, after video i shot a few more times with the tips and noticed my arrow flew straighter then before, thank you for this
Great video. Even after a year and a half of archery practicing, I did learn something and will control my wrist position on the draw hand as I struggle with my anchor position. Thanks a lot.
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 want to learn archery since my childhood. But I really don't have any money right now to afford this hobby also the place where I live has no such training institute 😟😢. So I repeatedly watch archery training videos. That's all what I can do for myself.
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
Tbh for a hobby, archer entry level is super cheap. You get get completely set up for 200 bucks including a bow, pack of 12 arrows, a target dummy, arm protector etc. Compared to most other hobbies, thats quite cheap. If you wanna go even cheaper, you can make your own bows from wood. That saves you a hundred bucks easily.
27 and going back to archery after camps and starting some in my very early 20s. watching so I can gain some insight and knowledge before I go. Im also binging archery olympics :)
Thank you this really helped! Me and my class in gym class are doing archery for the first time. This video definitely helped me, and now I feel much more confident in my self :)
This is very helpful. I started my archery lessons last Friday, and I planning to keep training, please make more video about the prefect training tips for beginners, such as; fitness training for archers, what type of training wear… etc.
I always wanted to learn archery..Still haven't gone for any..but as you said I have observed how they do in films and Olympic..I know 1st 3 steps..thanks a lot for the explanation..I hope I can learn it some day🤞
I'm going to start my first archery lessons at 24. I'm so excited, this is my dream sport and it is not common in my country (Ecuador) 🤗 This lessons are really helpful so thanks you 🥰
Great video man! I am just getting started off in archery and your tips have helped me smarten up what I am learning. It might sound like a stupid question but, is it possible to have a unique finger technique that is comfortable with the drawing hand? I am asking because it feels more effective for me in this case to stabilise the arrow.
I have been doing archery for a few months and used to use the plastic bows at the archery school, until I bought my own today! It’s called the Galaxy Aspire and I love it!
I suggest you add some subtitle in your video, cause it will make your lesson more wide-spreading considering there are many people will understand more (there's translation feature innit, I usually use it!)
I'm new to archery but i want to make career in archery . So sir can you tell me do i need to buy equipment at the very beginning or after some home workout and after making my body fit for the sport? I don't have any archery club near me so plz reply
I like the video & explanation, but I find somethings working differently for me. E.g. if i shoot without visor, would ankering my hand in my neck still work? And I was always told that - even though I am right handed - it's the dominant eye which determines the bow hand . So I now have a bow which i shoot with my left hand
You're more than welcome! Happy to help - there's loads more free guidance on my site (www.onlinearcheryacademy.com) and I've got some more videos aimed at beginners coming soon!
My granddaughter are going to learn archery from my friend jay. ( like a brother to me ) god gave us much to help us cope. Jays bring a pain he mad about stuff but he will realize soon. Life is good and attitude is everything
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
Please review this new "training system" called *"Wonder Fitter"* (channel called Wonderfitter Luke). Is it a GOOD device to learn archery? Watching them aim point blank at the TV scares me.
Thank you. Do you think its poss to become competent thru vids??I really want to learn was ready to get a bow and take class but holy f they cost $130 a class w 6 classes for beginner then future classes. Like why?! Its too much n i cant afford it.
My daughter bought a bow for me for Christmas. It came in pieces with very little instructions on how to put it together. My shooting stance is worthless until I can put the darn thing together. I don't even know what type of arrows to buy. A lot has changed since the last time I held a bow in 1975.

Haha, I thought the same. So im the „10 year old”, but when i first entered the class, everyone was an adult. I was the only kid. Funny.
Lol. That's how I felt when I took my first guitar lessons. I was in a class full of kids and shit. I ended up getting a private tutor😆 Saved me the embarrassment and plus I liked the one-on-one lessons much better.
How did it go?

Tomorrow will be that day for me

Same here
Just started three weeks ago at the age of 58. You’ll do great
It’s like the beginning of the video is missing just jumps right into “stance”. Normally I complain videos take too long to get to it but blammo here’s the opposite and I like it.
Haha thanks :) I'm trying to get to the point a bit quicker :)

No problem! Have fun and try and focus on one thing at a time :)

As a young 12 year old girl who is self tough in archery thank you so much for this upload and being so good at explains and showing everyone how we should be doing everything smart and safe.
I'm glad to see more young women in the archery sport!
I'm a 12 year old teaching myself too, I am also absolutely terrible at it, but anyway...
@@matthewdavidlandberg91588 Lmao there have been many women in archery but maybe it’s different for you
17 here, also self taught
I just had my first archery lesson at 50 years old.. loved it.. can't wait till next week!
As a kid i used to make bows with rubber bands and stick arrow. It was a lot of fun
Me too! That's how I got started!
lol same
I made a bow about 3 years ago (11 yrs) out of a long stick and vines it actually shot arrows (Small sticks)
Facts 🥲
Very good, straight to the point and not a 10 minute introduction of what a bow is

My husband bought me my first bow for my birthday and I'm so excited to learn! Thanks for these tips!
It's very nice that you're saying for right handed/ left handed. I'm left-handed and it feels so nice being included.😊

I’m going to teach myself archery just to give it a go before my first lesson and I found this very informative. Thank you!
Thank You! I'm Gonna Start Self-Teaching Myself Archery Soon As A 12 Year Old (Turning 13 Next April) And So This Is So Helpful!
Signed up for archery club in my uni and im a complete beginner to all this. Thanks for the vid!
I never involved in archery before and i think your explanation is great!
I always wanted to learn archery..Still haven't gone for any..but as you said I have observed how they do in films and Olympic..I know 1st 3 steps..thanks a lot for the explanation..I hope I can learn it some day🤞
I recommend your online archery academy to all the archers and l have been a coach for 52 years
I’m gonna buy my first archers set sometime this week as a hobby 🥰
your pfp of himawari makes this comment sound adorable
@@IvanKisaragi Hehe x
Just got mine from Amazon.
@@eb5857 Any Good? 👀
@@Wrennau I'm haven't tried yet, just reading and trying to learn more first.
Fantastic. Just bought my first bow a few days ago via wish (yes they actually sell decent bows) and can't wait to start these techniques.
Which one did you get??
Which one did you get???
This was a great video! My cousin and I do archery together! I pulled this up show my littler cousin how to do this! I’m not very good at explaining.
I'm going to start my first archery lessons at 24. I'm so excited, this is my dream sport and it is not common in my country (Ecuador) 🤗 This lessons are really helpful so thanks you 🥰

I love how he just gets straight into the video!
Did archery for the first time today since i was a kid and grazed my arm a few times so will try all these tips out for next week
Fantastic channel. Starting my first ever course soon and your videos have taught me a lot. Very well presented and very clear.
thank you so much! i didn't know I was releasing wrong
What bow should I buy? Which one do you guys recommend for a beginner
I'm working on starting up bow hunting, appreciate the tips
I like archery game I'm a beginner at this however your tips are so crucial I liked the way you explained thanks.
Good video. Thanks. Liked the fingertip stretch practice tip!
I was almost a bit confused of how the video like.. just starts. no intro or long talking.
Love it!
Thanks for the video :)
I suggest you add some subtitle in your video, cause it will make your lesson more wide-spreading considering there are many people will understand more (there's translation feature innit, I usually use it!)
I am ordering my first bow in couple of days. Cannot wait, for now learning these tips and will be rewatching this video a lot. Thanks!
Where did you order it and what is it?
I just had my first archery lesson last Tuesday; I'm sure there are more to learn.
Thank you for the video. I'm completely new but what if you're own style proves better for you? Is it OK to tweak what works best for the individual?
I'm 13, I'm willing to user a crossbow. Am I late enough? I haven't used them yet, I want to be good at it.
Thanks! I just had my first lesson and I was not told ANY of this. It was basically, "here's the bow and arrow, have a go at it."
Thank you so much!! Now I can become the irl Oliver queen and fight crime!
Great video, this is the first video I watched about archery and really liking it! Any tips for a beginner set and how to start?
I'm new to archery but i want to make career in archery . So sir can you tell me do i need to buy equipment at the very beginning or after some home workout and after making my body fit for the sport? I don't have any archery club near me so plz reply
Wasted no time, straight to the point, I love it
Tomorrow is archery selection and i don't know much your video and explanation is very good as 13yo i am interested in archery i hope i get selected
I like the video & explanation, but I find somethings working differently for me. E.g. if i shoot without visor, would ankering my hand in my neck still work? And I was always told that - even though I am right handed - it's the dominant eye which determines the bow hand . So I now have a bow which i shoot with my left hand
ive always wondered if archers are actually good when they use all the fancy stuff. If you were to use a simple bow and arrow, would you be as good?
Amazing intro thank you good sir!
Great starter video very very easy to follow
Nice technical info ❤
Very clear explanation. ✨Thank you for sharing.
Got my 1st bow today thanks for the tips
Fired a bow for the first time at the Renaissance fair was shocked to get 9/12 arrows landed
I'm going to take lessons soon
Thanks for the video dude, I just recently started to get into archery and this is a perfect way to start :)))
8:52 "see this lifeline here"

Can you recommend a bow to start off with
Thank you, great video
How often do you recommend practicing? Like hours per day/week ?
What’s the stance if you are right handed but left eye dominant
Thanks for the information
Saving this, thanks.
very important basics to start archery
I'm getting a bow in a few weeks so thanks for the tips
You're more than welcome! Happy to help - there's loads more free guidance on my site (www.onlinearcheryacademy.com) and I've got some more videos aimed at beginners coming soon!
As a beginner how many lbs should my first bow have, it is ok to start at 40lbs?
Closer to 16lb :P
My granddaughter are going to learn archery from my friend jay. ( like a brother to me ) god gave us much to help us cope. Jays bring a pain he mad about stuff but he will realize soon. Life is good and attitude is everything
He’s got a beautiful yard at their new house
I always wanted to learn it too and will be awww too wth my grandkids make memories while we can
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
And what about that Lars Anderson guy or anyone that used bows in battle?
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!!
No problem! Happy to help - welcome to the sport :)
Excellent.
Thanks
Please review this new "training system" called *"Wonder Fitter"* (channel called Wonderfitter Luke). Is it a GOOD device to learn archery? Watching them aim point blank at the TV scares me.
Excellent lesson man!! Always have been a fan of archery
Great video! Thank you for being on point the whole time. Now I'm going to go practice so I can hit that unfortunate fellow in the movies 😂
Thank you. Do you think its poss to become competent thru vids??I really want to learn was ready to get a bow and take class but holy f they cost $130 a class w 6 classes for beginner then future classes. Like why?! Its too much n i cant afford it.
My daughter bought a bow for me for Christmas. It came in pieces with very little instructions on how to put it together. My shooting stance is worthless until I can put the darn thing together. I don't even know what type of arrows to buy. A lot has changed since the last time I held a bow in 1975.
Best thing is to contact a local target or field archery club and go along, do a beginners course and take it from there :)
