  Am I the only one here that has no access to a bow and arrow but gets giddy every time I think about archery? Hope not. Feel my pain ya'll.

  Great video. Been shooting archery for 54 years. TOP FIVE: NUMBER ONE- Your equipment must be matched; arrow spine and length, correct point weight, and poundage. If this is not done first, it will not matter whatever else you do right. NUMBER TWO- Don't overbow yourself.  NUMBER THREE- Establish  consistent anchor. (Howard Hill anchored at his incisor tooth). NUMBER FOUR- Lightly grip the bow and push it as far away from your body as possible when drawing the bow... then push it farther. NUMBER FIVE- Practice shooting close with one arrow. (It makes you concentrate more on making a good shot).

  Kramer this is an awesome video! I&apos;m an archery instructor of 10 years, and I always ask new students to view your video before they even touch a bow. You covered a lot of important material while sustaining our interest with a little humor. Students love your enthusiasm and masterful way of keeping the audience engaged. I also like your foreword for those judgemental haters who have nothing better to do than fault-find. 👍🏽❤️

  Just want to warn people about walking the string. It is banded in Australia ABA as you are getting the nock closer to your eye. Also anchoring so that the nock is next to your eye is also not allowed. Nocks explode and can take out your eye. Be careful.

  I used to shoot bows a lot when I was a kid and for some reason I stopped. I&apos;m 24 now and I&apos;m thinking I&apos;m going to get back into it. I found my father&apos;s old bows that I grew up shooting so it should be fun. Thanks for all the info.

  in 6th grade I was the only kid in my GYM class who got a bullseye on my first try (luck) and the aura felt great. This was the only day we got to shoot the Recurve Bow in GYM class. Have not shot a bow since then lol

  Been shooting since I was in short pants: all good advice here and worth watching again. The basics are basic for a reason.
