You’ve recently compacted your form to an actual hunting form that will hunt well in the whitetail woods. Slow and smooth. Looks great. 50 years of hunting with a longbow in south Alabama and everyone I know that is successful shoots like you are now. Good luck this season.
It’s amazing how my groups tighten up from 17 yards and in. One step back and everything changes. Not sure if it’s due to my declining eyesight as I get older because I then start shooting at “shapes” rather than bearing down on a “spot”. Whatever the reason, my ethical hunting distances need to be limited to inside 15 yards
Well it's the crux of what we do ain't it? I personally practice out to 30.. Will never loose an arrow on a deer at that distance. I go to that distance to hone my rough edges..and will probably pass on most at 20 unless the situation is golden. 15-18 is the zone I want. Cold shots are more challenging on a bow that's been recently strung for me..but the brace settles in after about 15 shots..if I leave it strung I find its amazing right away.. I have found that the first bareshaft in the morning after stringing shows a tiny bit weak..this can be alleviate d to an extent with drawing and letting down a dozen times then gently plucking the string a bit..brace is still high by 1\8" but first shot is ALMOST like leaving it strung.!
Nd further on in your video..I totally agree on the close shots sentiment.. Arrow has to fly clean..I usually shoot bareshaft every other arrow if I'm having an off day..sometimes shoot bare for days just beacuse..bare on the 3d course..my daughters also carry a bareshaft..and randomly we pull one from the back quiver and just roll with it..
people are shooting for the wrong area of the deer! a smaller shot placement area,,trad is not rifle,,, you should be shooting diagonal from thre shoulder and not even trying for a heart shot with a trad bow..... i put on a video....please watch it so your more successful .... title...TRAD Arrow Placement Best Odds For Success! people are teaching wrong! i was a hunting guide for several years ..

This was interesting to watch. Thanks
any shot that makes you question should never be taken.

Good shooting. What range is this?
Another great video. I hint only around 12-14 feet.practicing on your kill shots is the most important thing.keep up the videos emrah.👍💯👈👌👊🔥
@@georgehardin8452 thanks. I appreciate it
Great video! That bow is darn quiet, btw.
The exception on long shots for me would be if the animal already has an arrow in it. In which case, I'm emptying my quiver at it.

Now further..
Can I ask by practicing with a bear shaft does that allow you to fine tune your draw length ,anchor point and release? Or is it for another reason?

@@unknown-archer yes. Quartering away is ideal. Tough to show that with a 2D target bale though.
