      You can use your arrow point as a reference point.

      @@NoizyBoyUS I've heard it's better to aim with the shaft, not the tip. It's supposed to line the arrow up with the target.

      If your new to archery and ur shooting barebow u can aim with ur arrow tip, string picture, and also adjust for distance with string walking.... and you will likely find explanations for those if you google them.... if your just making the point that this video is labelled "recurve" but there appears to be an assumption that all recurves shoot with sites then im glad you did cause i found that odd too

    Okay So I Shoot With A Regular Bow, Literally With the Bow Handle And All. So When I Aim should I Focus on the arrow so the chart is blurry? Or should I focus on the chart so the arrow is blurry?

      Without any sights you look at the target. I glance at the arrow shift (not the tip) with my right eye to check left/right them my left eye for up/down, but only for a second each, and not everytime. No idea if this is a legit technique, but it helped me.
      Mostly it's dependent on consistent form, and feel. If you get your anchor points and shoulders in the same place every time the arrows should hit in about the same spot. Push your shoulders down to avoid neck pain.
      Then just shoot as much as you can. After 60 shots three days a week for two months I can get a 4-5 inch group from 25 yards. I hold the draw for about 2 seconds. I'm not competing or hunting. Just having fun in the back yard with a beginner bow. PSE Razorback I got from a pawn shop for $25. I don't even know if it's the right height or draw length. I'm doing research now about that to get an intermediate bow.
      I'm sure some people get as good in a weekend, but I'm happy with my progress.

      Skorpius as someone who shoots on the regular and teaches beginners on a regular, most people, likely yourself too, wouldn’t even be able to pick up these athletes bow and draw it back to anchor, let alone shooting accurately at 70m consistently. But i suppose the lazy option is to just be all talk online discrediting others

      @WantonSky 5 років тому +3

      Just look at the archer's arm.
      If you see his/her arm is shaking he/she might be more active. If he/she seem really smooth and relaxing he/she's passive.
      But that's just a rough idea.
      Posture/physical conditions/whether would also effect.

    • @meat-hook
      @meat-hook 4 роки тому

      If your form is solid and consistent keep your upper body in that pose. I move my waist, and mid spine. I'm not an expert in archery, but was a madman with an M16 in the army. I think of the ribs up as a fixed platform that needs to be in the same orientation to all of it's other parts to be consistent. Think of a triangle from the front hand to the rear, and then to the eye. If you move one of the points the line on the bottom where the arrow lines up will shift. So I guess I'm using my body to aim, not the arrow, or bow. More like pointing than aiming.

      Ik this was a year ago n u probably figured it out but you want to aim with your hand. Dont aim until you find your anchor point. Once you’re at full draw and the hand on the string is at the anchor point, use the hand that’s on the grip to aim. Don’t change anything else about your body or stance.
