I try to explain my sight picture and how i shoot the bow with no sights assuming you already have your bow tuned and your shooting style in place. Good luck
I wish all us wheel, cam and lever instinctive shooters could get together a shoot together. We as instinctive shooters are a unique group. Keep up the video’s.
I've had my phoenix since April. I've tried numerous setups and shooting techniques. Your methodology is great. I shoot best 3 under, bow canted, while bringing my eye just over the top of the arrow looking down it. Focus on target adjust for distance and let her fly. I have used the QAD rest, the flipper rests, and the whisker biscuit (with 15 degrees cut out of it).I am sticking with the whisker biscuit b/c the arrow flight is good and it makes the least noise. The whisker biscuit does chew up feathers a bit. Had an old guy at the archery shop tell me to wrap the front part of the feathers in B50 to make a sort of ramp. I'm still experimenting , don't know yet if it will make feathers last a bit longer but in a week or so I will know. Shooting with fingers, I have to keep the bow under 60 lbs or I start to get finger numbness shooting it everyday. Thanks for the videos they really helped me set this thing up and start tinkering and experimenting .
I like this method for sure. I'll have me a oneida next year during the summer. I'm done with compound bows. The sights on them now a days runs allmost what a optic would for a rifle Scope. Crazy.
Great video. I like using the whiffle ball goofballs. I just through them around the yard, or shove sticks in the holes to get them off the ground about the height of a squirrels head.
At close range look at the target FIRST and aim instinctively , THEN line up the left and right using the arrow tip from split vision by slightly bringing up the bow from the bottom. At far range aim with the arrow tip using split vision. This helped me out a lot thanks!
I tied in a fix craw for 20 yards. The point of my arrow is my sight pin. With three fingers under on my craw gaps are small. You are doing a good job with your no bull videos!
I love your videos, My Onidea Just came in last week and I put through about 100 arrows so far and love it! the no sights shooting is getting better each day! I'm shocked at everyone saying how loud the Onidea bows are, mine is super quiet out of the box. I dropped the draw weight down from 65lbs to 55lbs and its a ton less tiring to shoot now
Thanks buddy, 50-55 lbs is comfortable draw weight, the bow is quiet and smooth and still will Blow through any animal you are hunting. Phoenix isn’t loud, put on some cat whiskers on the string and increase the brace height a little and it’s very quiet
You are clearly way ahead of me shooting without sights. I will offer one idea I seldom see others talk about. When you come to anchor and settle in, with your draw hand, curl your little finger and touch the pad of your thumb with the outermost digit of your little finger. This came from Howard Hill. What it does for some is really allow you to flatten out the draw hand fingers and get the sensation that you are pulling with your back muscles. It may sound weird but it works for some so the reader may want to at least play with it and see what it does for you. Love your videos.
Thanks buddy , yes !! I used to do that and forgot all about it until you just mentioned that, when I get home and do some shooting I gotta get back in that groove, forget little tricks like that in the day to day madness 👍🏻
@@TRIBEDRAKE I want to say again how helpful your videos are. I have followed and envied Tim Wells for 20 years, but the simply will not or cannot share much about how he shoots. He did do a short video, but it was not very informative. It is almost like he doesn't want us to know what he is doing. You, on the other hand, are an open book. I know there are others out there like me that really appreciate what you share. Please let me know if there is anything personally I can do to help you. I have no idea what that may be, but would love to be able to pay back some.
I'd love to see a video on how the Oneida pulls like a recurve. If you shooting a 50 pound Oneida at what point in the draw does it break over or the cams take over? Where ever it breaks what would your pull weight be right before it let off? I'm a recurve shooter but due to old age(68) and neck/shoulder problems I am interested in this bow. I have a compound but all the draw force is on the front end and I just can't handle 50 pounds. I shoot a 47# Bob Lee. I'm enjoying your down to earth videos.
Great video dude. Barebow shootn takes practice. I've learned to float my arrow in my perephial just like my sights on my tournament bow. Seems to help my consistency.
What grain do you shoot im going out to Nebraska for mule deer shooting 70 lbs this fall 29 Inch draw without release. I have 400 grain arrows with a 100 grain tip. Also what mods do you use for long range such as 40-60 yards
Have Phoenix in mail just to try it out. I mainly shoot traditional longbows. Awesome videos and awesome shooting. Had to subscribe “Vern is back there licking his nuts” 😂😂😂😂 Keep it original!
My brace height is 7" Use the good ol traditional rubber catwhiskers also, Make sure your bow is in time, check tiller, brace height and you can also use wool yarn and wrap your string where it contacts the limb if you cant get it to what ur looking for.
I recently bought two older Oneida bows on ebay. An eagle and eagle aero force x80. Ive always preferred to shoot bows instinctive , three fingers under although I do have some bows with sights. Great video. What is the quiver you have mounted on your bow?
@TRIBEDRAKE Of course not. Story of my life, I see something cool I like and its always made of Unobtainium and no longer available on planet Earth lol. Thanks for the reply anyway 🙂 👍
@@kaylamarie8309 sure thing , lots people are wanting a completely offensive,illegal, high capacity quiver lately 😁. I got ideas it’s just putting them to good use
I shoot 300 spine goldtip, 125 grains up front. My nocam likes a 400 spine and 125 grain up front both with nearly a full length arrow, I shot a shorter arrow at one point and put 230 grains up front
@@TRIBEDRAKE I love hunting with and shooting my recurves so I been wanting to get one. Did you have that bow dipped in bottom land camo ? Also I live not to far from honey creek archery you said that guy was good with lever bows right ? Do they sell phoenix

Ur fingers must be built up to really tough. Shooting without a glove or tab must have taken a while to get used to. Mine get a little numb after a couple hrs shooting with a tab. But as long as I get to shoot. RIGHT?

I do a lot of hiking and stumping for most of my practice. Targets get boring but practice is practice good video 👍
Thanks, yes I love stump shooting, makes it fun shooting at anything besides your old target for a few hours

How do you get your Phoenix so quiet? Maybe the difference is 1st person perception, but it sure seems like yours is quieter than mine.

A spot and shoot. I’ve never used bow sights. It feels unnatural.

That arrow hit nearly after you shot, it would've took a second for it to have been 50. Get outta here bud
