From my Decades of Dating Experience, spend your money on Archery Equipment, not Women. You will be happier in the Long Run!!!!
Clearly asking for Forgiveness never worked for you , maybe you should have asked for Permission .lol
@@AussieArcher1234 I wasn't Dumb enough to get Married!!!
There is the Old Saying: It's better to ask for Forgiveness, than ask for Permission!!!!
There's a reason it's an old saying .
My ex-girlfriend just saw my passion for archery and going to 3D shoots. She wanted to give it a try, but she was hesitant on spending a lot of money on a bow. We went up to the local Pro Shop and ended up getting her a Bear Compound something light and easy to shoot. she fell in love with it and a couple months later upgraded to a Elite Ember. To save money we put my old equipment on the bow and she loved it.
I bought my wife the Diamond Infinite Edge Pro. I was looking at the Ember as well for her next one if she wants.
Nice - Ember is a great bow.
congratz...now she can bug you when you go shooting..
These guys are great, I've been a recent regular and their service and items are top notch. Would definitely recommend buying from them, bought a compound bow and then got all the accessories from their store. First time getting back into shooting in two decades.
I asked a girl from work if she would like to try it . Now I had a "Diamond SB-1" to set up for friend's to try , this bow so easy to set up ! Any way she really liked it , she found it very relaxing . easier to
It's a lot easier to get your significant other started into archery than to get them into shooting. You can use archery to seg them into also trying shooting though.
Wouldn’t it be a better idea to talk to the girl and see what she wants. Maybe she would like to pick out the bow.
Another way is to go to a club that sells lessons and shoot a few times with the club gear. If it goes well then you can spend the money
As a female, I had always been curious about archery but didn’t have the opportunity to try it until a friend introduced me to Archery Supplies. I watched my girls try out a few shots and bought them both a compound bow. I then gave it a try and loved it. I won my first national clout medal a few months later.
Personally, I prefer picking my own equipment and colour schemes, rather than someone else choosing it for me.
If I hadn’t been introduced to archery I probably never would have given it a go. That was 6 years ago. To this day, it is still my favourite sport.
My wife before she was into archery could complain a bit when I went to the pro shop for new arrows ore a new sight. A year go my daughter got her to shoot a few arrows. The day after that I had planned to go to the store for a better button she insisted we went together. We left the store with a complete Olympic recurve set for her.
It was easy...
I walked the dog around the local park and saw the archery club... Had a word with them... The following week I took the missus with me, we had a talk and signed up with the beginner course.
We buy our own kit, or wait for birthdays/Christmas.
That was 6 years ago.
We are no longer with that original club but we shoot all bow types... I prefer compound and recurve, she prefers English longbow.
Also she is also partially sighted (has no lens in her eyes), not that it makes any difference, she competes in regular competitions and does ok. In her own words... 'I just shoot at the yellow blob'
it was easy, went to a archery shop with my partner and my compound bow and she was hooked, she chosen bare bow over compound.
I thought you were going to introduce her as your partner, I was going to say "You old dog, you!" But your sexism is showing, let the "girl" buy her own equipment. She'll appreciate it more if she's interested in it at all. You wouldn't start scrapbooking or quilting or whatever she might be into on a first date, not that there would be anything wrong if you did.
I showed my wife this clip. She really liked the pink compound bow, but still can't persuade her to try archery though!
Surprise, girls don't like surprises unless its an Apple watch lol.
Loved this. I've been married for 28 years and doing archery for 9 years after my daughter got interested at the end of the Hunger Games period. I've never been able to get my wife interested, even though I had followed most of the advice in this video. We're still happily married though😉
@Capinated Hats off to your Mum! I haven't tried this tactic yet--and I'm guessing your Dad is still not on the Australian team😆
I got this crazy idea Steven, when you bring in a girl to talk about archery shut up for a second and let her talk 😉
He doesn't understand woman😂
Kinda what I was thinking?!?! 😆
@@thephoenicianarcher5267 And here being nervous had nothng to do with it..FFS grow a pair
Introduced my daughter to archery thru a no let off compound and Easton jazz arrows. We have a good time breaking balloons in the backyard.
“Hey Shiela, ya wanna go for a walk on the beach?”
“Yeah sure dear that sounds nice...what’s the bow for!”
Haha
When I go for a Holiday - bow and target are in the back.
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale how far off in speed is a oneida Phoenix comparison to newer high end bows? Would you recommend onieda for elk hunting or is it too slow
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale You go on holiday,..... really? Your work ethic puts Americans to shame sir.🏹🤠👍
Love your videos Steve! If you ever get the chance again, it would be great to see you shoot the oneida Phoenix some mor; that thing is fantastic and you really seem to know your stuff about them!
I think signing up for a class together is the way to go. Trying to "teach" your partner to shoot often leads to frustration as the dynamic of your relationship isn't the same as a coach/student dynamic. Once there's a baseline level of knowledge, then you can help your partner improve. A class with rented equipment is a good, safe place to start. If they enjoy what they're doing, then they'll want to buy stuff for themself just like you did when you started. A class is also a finite investment of time and money. "It's just 6 weeks, and if you don't like it you don't have to do it anymore." It also means that you're not being directly compared. If you're an experienced archer, your partner can be intimidated by the fact that they won't be as good as you when you start.
very good points! good to know that archery date isn't the best first date.
One of the best things that happened when getting her first bow was letting the Pro Shop staff help her. Not to say that I didn't help her or give her advice, but some people don't want your partner sitting there telling them do this do that don't do this. Let the staff do their thing and if she has questions later then you can step in. Don't be like oh now that you got your bow I'll be the one to teach you everything you need to know. Don't make it about you let her take her own journey make mistakes and enjoy the sport.
I've seen all the videos. And just want to say that I learn a lot and keep up to date. You are a good man and are honest in your reviews of new products. Hope there will be an update on how your new store is doing. Greetings from Norway
Thank you.
Good video. Pertains to any hobby. Need to work on getting my wife out to send some arrows down range.
My partner is a guy who is 6'4". I think he'd prefer something lighter. He isn't really strong. So I'm looking for something lighter, longer ATA because of his height and with a draw weight like a youth bow to start out because he has to learn how to shoot left handed because of eye dominance issue.
I'd like to get him a Carbon Stealth. A 50# draw and dial it back 10 turns. He says a Stinger maybe because he doesn't want me to spend too much. So I thought split the difference and go with a Lazer since he likes purple. I can find one in purple easy enough, but still he says too much money. I'm 6'1" and I truly think a Stinger is kind of short for me. I'm not as comfortable with a short bow vs a longer one. That is why I bought the Shootdown.
I don't know what the right thing to do here is. I'm right handed. I'd go and get the new EVL EVO otherwise and if it didn't work out, I had myself a new bow. Can't being different dexterity. I think what it is going to come down to is finding what I know is going to give him the best chance of being successful, trying to find a color he likes, and don't tell him how much it cost.
Well according to a lot of posts here DONT buy him a Bow our they will call you a sexist.
@@AussieArcher1234 Well I talked to him. He doesn't care really the color. But he does have favorites. It's more the cost factor and he'd like longer 33" min to 37" like my Shootdown. It's basically the cost is the hang up.
MORE JESS!!!!
It can be quit romantic to make her a custom self bow from a stave she helps to select and shape into a piece of her
Easiest way to get a guy into archery is have him watch a Rambo movie.
Yep shoot arrows for a day and your body will be strong and cut.
Money fluctuates it's better to hold assets and after the 1off v.a.t bows hold there money really well so ........ it's far more sensible to protect more of our money by getting a bow and put the best accessories on it , storing it in the best bags and using the best arrows 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
Are jess’ eyelashes real? They look great.
@Sainthuck that’s my daughter lol, and the only thing fake are her eyelashes.
ohhh my this girl is gorgeous. It's funny seeing Steven talk to a woman..... I always thought he was gay.....haha just playin Steveo does some of the best bow reviews out there
Now I see why he spends so much time at work....
just F.Y.I. in the U.S.A. tender is just a hookup app. Not relationship just one night stands. It does make your videos more entertaining.
So no one has ever meet on the USA tinder and continued to see each other. LOL you dick
people have had real relationship on tinder. ? lol
Damn Steve, I thought i was watching an old episode of Oprah.
When they make a bow that shoots make-up and does hair and nails, you will sell a million.
I cant even manage to get my wife to look up from her phone to look where she going, and that's how I manage to spend 2k on a bow. winning!
I’m sure that I’m speaking for most women and quite a number of men here - that was excruciatingly hard to watch.
To be honest, I feel a little sick after watching all of it.
I bow to you, great keyboard warrior.
-But if you don’t see a problem with this, you have obviously never encountered sexism and have absolutely no right to dismiss my comment.
Most women I know (much more than two) would agree with Sarah, if not have stronger words to say about the video. Hell, even a number of other high profile individuals in the Archery Australia community agree. This video doesn't help our sport at all and in fact does the opposite, especially with stories being shared nonchalantly with DV red flags. It is, however, useful as an example in future discussions at state and national levels about the gender inequality in our sport and what is not okay or helpful and helps inform us as to where we need to make changes.
Unless you're (Two wheel wreck Wreck) a key player in the sport (e.g. National representative, Club/State/National committee), you have no room to critique our perspectives (if you are then you might as well use your real name and list your sponsors or position).
If you're afraid of feminism, I feel like you're not going to enjoy the next few decades.
Edit: Two Wheel Wreck has deleted the message this is replying to and subsequent responses
You might want to quickly google what ‘keyboard warrior’ means...
@@AussieArcher1234 I'm leaving part of this thread here, in spite of Two Wheel wreck deleting all of their comments and making this look weird. A summary would be two decent humans arguing with a feminist hating mysoginist who was attempting to argue that there was nothing wrong with the above video using short, emotional and poorly written responses.
Below is just part of one response to him:
As to which generation of men are treating women the worst, why are you trying to make it into a competition? I'm going to judge anyone harshly who treats a human being poorly.
The reason I'm judging here and we're having this conversation is that I actually care about my sport and the people in it. When a significant person or business associated with my sport, in my country chooses to disrespect women and human beings then I'm going to call them out for it. That is my role in the sport and my role as a decent human being.
I'm here to make change and I'm not going away. If either you or the business owner were members of Archery Australia (AA) in my state, I would be asking for you to hand in your memberships. AA has some pretty broad member protection policies and codes of conduct, stating that the stuff in the video is not okay.
Now, as to this. I'm not going to do comparisons any more because not only does that leave a bad taste in my mouth, but your responses so far have shown that you can't properly empathise with other people. I mean if our PM needs an empathy consultant, then maybe other people do too.
Anyway, this video (and I know you beg to differ on this), is gross, sexist and trivialises domestic violence. The business owner has also not only allowed for one of his staff to be grossly (and disrespectfully) objectified in the comments section, but has confirmed by his own words (under the Capinated account) what most would consider staff abuse.
Good video! Bumble is better then tinder and I'd buy her a 1000$ bow lol
Listen if your worried about what your girlfriend or partner whatever is going say or do if you spend 2000 on a bow then either they are not right for you or you have money commitments and things are tight and you know its going to put you under financial pressure and you know you have done wrong! If that's not the case get rid of bad rubbish
Wow i forgot what this video was about :P Jess is such a beauty it is like experiencing sunrise :D
only buying a black bow is pure genius
More Jess videos
Cool video.. guys and girls approached new things differently a lot of guys jump right into it are really good and girls kind of standoffish not real certain about certain things so it might be better to get a girl to show another girl archery
Dang, never found a girl like that in the states, maybe cuz I live in the suburbs...
Was this part of an interview to get a job in the shop? :)
Remember in Aussie land there are more women than men, lol 🏹🤠👍.
@@theamazinggoldfish8713 Interesting, I didn't know that. But I thought this could be an interview for a job with the problem "Getting your partner to try archery - which points are important for you and we're filming this discussion". A testing for the empathy in relation to customers for example.
If you want to get a girl into archery just watch the hunger games with her, and when katniss is doing her thing tell her that she should do it, tell her girls who shoot are hot and that she'd so awesome with 3DHVs in her quiver (or pink VAP's or whatever!!)
What a shit movie . I couldnt sit and watch that crap for anyone.
I get the impression, the relationship with his sons Mom didn't end amicably. I mean calling his ex a couch potato is not an endearing comment
You guys know so much about stuff 😂🤣😂
I had a friend who got his girlfriend to start into archery. They ended up splitting up because he couldnt deal with the fact that she very quickly became a much better shot than him! Lmao
Lol - Never buy her a good bow. I actually want my partners to be good. Makes them happy. Happy wife happy life.
The girl can just get up and leave you, the bow stays,......I can't afford both, LoL 🏹😆👍
It's easier to get forgiveness than permission.
Talk your partner( woman I hope) into following you around at a local 3-d shoot if at all possible. Introducing her to everyone. Especially any women shooters. Let her see the comradery and competition that happens at most clubs. Give her a set of binoculars to use watching the hits on the targets. Make sure and bring a small camp stool and water etc for her. Maybe she will go with you again and finally decide to try it. The shop stuff of buying needs to be done slowly and very methodically.
What wrong with a male Partner, Maybe its the wife thats into archery, and how does it effect you, it's their relationship MM FF who cares ffs .
This basically suggests compound is piss easy 🤭
Tell ya what....it's my money I'll spend it on whatever I wish....the Bill's are covered. End of discussion.
It seems I watched a video with you complaining about a woman taking your money in a settlement seems you haven’t learned yet
This isnt that hard. Ask em if they want to try archery. When they say no, congratulate yourself on good fortune.
I wanna Tinder Jess
There's very little to no ROI on spending any money on a strong and independent whamen. Invest in bitcoin, gold, and a safe that she doesn't know the code to.
Why would I buy my partner a bow? Thats the only time I get to have peace and quite. There is an unwritten rule. Don't teach women how to shoot guns or bows. You may be the prey. LOL
Holy smokes Jess is smoking hot 🔥
Stunner - more Jess please!
50 years of ineffective dating. 😆
Yo...
Always hated the idea of getting Jess to do videos for her sexual appeal don't like it Steve
Don't want my partner doing archery, it's my release, take Jess along to the woods anytime though.......
As a female archer, I feel the need to say that this video is incredibly sexist and very hard to watch. Please keep this in mind as it reflects badly not only on your company, but on the archery community as a whole.
Your clearly one of those over feminist Men haters if you think this Video is sexist . get over yourself, hater
@Capinated Does that refer to no ladies in just the open category, or all categories? I thought there were some great up and coming young female compound shooters a few years ago? It’s a sad state of affairs if none of the young ones have continued with archery.
@@thillman There were no ladies who contested the State championships. There is under 3 girls competing and 2 from the same family.
@Capinated I agree that women are sadly very under-represented in this sport, and that as members of the archery community we should be doing everything we can to encourage more women to join. However, that was not my issue with this video. I found the tone of the video very sexist, as Steven makes derogatory comments, implying that women are vain, lazy, weak and unintelligent, compared to men. He also mentions what sounds like domestic violence (physically dragging his partner out of the house kicking and screaming, literally crying 4:10) as if it is a normal and healthy thing to do.
This is why I find this video so hard to watch, and believe it reflects very poorly on the archery community as a whole.
(Edit: Steven, I just found out that @Capinated is your personal account. Please read what I've written above and take it into consideration, for the image of both your business and of the wider archery community.)
@@renn745 Sorry to tell you, but Capinated is Steven from the video and looking at the comments it really says a lot.
I can't hear the video , but still temped to watch it just because such a beautiful woman like her into archery!
2000$ bow VS. 2000$ Escort ... give her this option / I think she will be ok then
This was so painful to watch I couldn't even finish it. Pathetic.
Grow a set your pathetic
