You held up very well against the target bare bow guys.. I have watched you for years and you continue to improve. I admire the fact that you stick to the fantastic vintage hunting bows.
We believe in you Greg! One day you’ll just school the barebows. It’s not impossible I know first hand. Aloha! And Mahalo for the years of wonderful content. You’re and inspiration G 🤙🏾
Vielen Dank für die Aufnahmen! Mit den Einblendungen der Treffer und der Entfernung konnte ich mir einen Eindruck über die Qualität der Schützen machen. Sie sind gut!!!!
Just from the title of this vid caught my attention 🙂. I've been out a long time due life and bad injury but starting again real soon. I thoroughly enjoyed whuppn up on non traditional shooters at the shoots. The biggest fun was the trash talking and humble some folks 😁. Lord willing I'ma coming back next year. Yup that's what it sounds like non traditional...bring your risers and rests,bring your sights,bring your releases, and stabilizers,etc.
If you try String Walking let us know what you think for use in hunting. I am just learning this year and love it. I plan to use it hunting because here in Kodiak we hunt from the ground mostly spot and stalk. I may have longer shots. We will see how it works out
Playing with it and it is pretty straight forward. Was shown some tricks for hunting. The big thing I found so far is since I’m always “Point On”, I do better using split vision than looking down the arrow.
1878 Maurice Thompson, THE WITCHERY OF ARCHERY. Long bow shooters, there was nothing else, taking ducks in flight @50yards and beyond. Try that with string walking.
Great shooting ! Just so people know you weren’t shooting with average Barebow guys those two are well above that. You actually would have had a pretty middle of the pack score at a national event in Barebow 🎉
Nice video Greg. It looked like you shot a Lightening brand recurve. Great shooting with a very affordable bow! I shoot a variety of Samick Sage clone bows. Split finger and split vision. I'm a hunter and daily shooter. Out to 20 yards, my gear and shooting style work out well. I have tried string walking, and do netter between 20-30 yards. But my self imposed max distance for deer hunting is 22 yards. I'm curious what your score would be if you shot a round of 3D and limited your shots to 20-22 yards? Maybe shot standing, and kneeling to mix it up. As tempting as it is to adapt my shooting style for 3D, for now I limit my shots. I shoot 45-60# bows and hunting weight arrows. I know at hunting ranges you are an excellent archer!
I shot “trad” distances for years and I still do from time to time. Can’t recall any scores or averages. I won a Trad Only shoot with a score in the 270’s, that course had no target past 20 yards.
honestly, 3D, in the woods, feels more natural with traditionnal bows, but your fletching is special, your arrows too (4,2 or 6,2 mm ?) nice shooting vs the barebows !!
Great shooting Greg. In the outro of your video you say you might give string walking a try. Be careful with this. It might screw up your "instinctive" (split vision / gap, whatever it is) aiming capability. Might even mess with your form.
How so? Knowing the yardage will help you “learn” what each target looks like at that distance. What I found “playing” with string walking is that I’m better at it using split vision than looking down the arrow.
@@3DArchery I wasn't talking about "knowing the yardage". My "warning" ( It might screw up your "instinctive" (split vision / gap, whatever it is) aiming capability. Might even mess with your form.) comes from my personal experience. I come from shooting "instinctive" (split vision) with hunting weight bow and heavy arrows (point on with 3 under at 30m) and I was quite good at that (IMHO) :-) To improve my form and test myself under stress conditions I started shooting BB 18m indoor and 50m outdoor tournaments, with a "real" barebow and light arrows, where I was crawling the string and aiming with the tip. I was very succesfull, winning the German 50m WA national championships last year. However, the complete different arrow trajectory and sight picture of my BB rig (compared to my hunting bow) messed with my instinctive shooting. I now tend to shoot high on close 3d targets because putting the tip of the arrow on the spot I want to hit is very dominant and fights my "instincts" to allow to take control. What I'm saying might not hold true if you stick to the same bow and arrows for playing around with string walking, since the arrow trajectory wouldn't change.
Okay. Should not be an issue for me. I have been using Kentucky Windage since I was a kid. It is just natural for me. I find myself doing it all the time. I appreciate the advice and I will keep it in mind (hopefully) while shooting.
Greg. You shot great! Remember, if you go with string walking, you have to use a bow that "likes" string walking. Will that change your status from "Trad Guy" to "Bare bow Guy"?
I will only string walking with my new bows, they can handle it. My crawl is tiny. At 10 yards it is less than three quarters of an inch. Not gonna use a Barebow, not Gonna happen. I love wooden bows.
3-D is suppose to simulate hunting. I would not think that people use a bare bow for hunting so what's the point? Could it be that it is easier to score ?
Who says it is suppose to simulate hunting? If it is then why is every shot a perfect broadside with noting between you and the target? People do use a Barebow to hunt, just like people use crossbows to hunt.
@@3DArchery If it does not simulate hunting why have 3-D animal targets? Don't we try to get broadside hits on animals. They could save a lot of money and put out bullseye targets instead. Don't mind me I'm just a crusty old traditionalist.
@@tomburrows3608 Because it is different. Before 3D, there was 2D, paper targets with animals drawn or printed. It was said then it was about hunting too. They also shot at them from 70 yards away, not a hunting shot distance. We try, but we take quartering shots do we not? Downward shots from tree stands, where are those on a course? 3D is about shooting for score. It has classes divisions and winners. it is a competition. When I first did archery back in the 70’s, there was no such things as a “Traditional” archer. It was just archery. “Traditional”. Is a recent development, that came from competition, to describe a class! The bullseye target out in the woods is called Field Archery. Where is where 3D came from.
Unless your a hunter, which is more or less what 3D was designed as training for, you either execute your shot, or Bambi's dad laughs at you showing you his south end while heading north.
I switched to Barebow and love it. Great video!
Great video as usual. Greg you have not one thing to be ashamed of that round. You are shooting really well brother
Not ashamed, just determined to figure this out.
@@3DArchery I have no doubt you will
You are all great shots! I am just not at that level…….yet
Well done Greg!
Nice shooting, it looked like a great day out. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers from Australia

Good shooting at that distance Greg. I call my method splitstinctive.
Great shooting guys!!!! I'm amazed at the little left and rights you guys had.. good form and a straight eye is what you guys have!!!!!
Good to see someone shooting an Asiatic bow with thumbdraw, even if he was cut from most of it
Nice shooting all, it looked like a great time had by all thanks for sharing appreciate y’all

As a Trad archer, who is now shooting a barebow split finger I must agree - it is the stringwalking, not the equipment.
Really like your video, and seeing the yardage is for me is a deal breaker. Really hard to relate without it, and wow are you guys good. Nice job.
What is seeing the yardage a deal breaker?

I’m a horrible shot! It is all in the editing! :)
@@3DArchery my man you are a great shooter!!
What was the score of the guy in the blue shirt with the backwards hat? He shot fantastic
That is Mike Ellis, he placed 8th at Lancaster. He scored a 206. He had 19 out of 20 in the 10 ring.

nice shooting vs the barebows !!
The arrows I believe are 4mm
You would shoot much better if you used the Howard Hill swing draw.
Not sure if that will work, not that good at dancing. Does anyone even teach swing dancing anymore?
The two shot rule is fine, but it shouldnt be two consecutive shots.
All four of you shoot, then go through again in the same order if you want.
Tacos!! for the win!!
It looks like they've already been eating them😂😂
Station 5- 5 yards?????
Yep, just to mess with everyone

Hahaha, you won’t find the Traditional Archer looking in the mirror either!
