LEARN ARCHERY: Advanced Aiming- The best tip for shooting a compound bow more accurately!

Question; are you using 1 eye or both eyes?

Thank you for the confirmation. New shooter, just started this week. You are 100% correct. When I focus on the black circle on target it bullseye. (I color the center black) I Didn't know why i made a great shot. Thinking back there was allot less movement. In fact i was really relax.

I shoot with both eyes open (no matter they're firearms, compound or recurve). I don't know how my eyes work together, but seems that the picture in my brain has the pin and the target both somehow focused (not perfect though) I cannot achieve this with one eye open.
Shooting with both eyes open do take some practice

I find this true because when I shot before I seen this I was all over the place thank you

This is excellent content

Dude! You literally changed my life today. Yesterday I was just spraying the bag. This morning I went out immediately after watching your video, changed my point of focus and started stacking arrows in one on top of the other! Thank you so much for posting this!!!

Thank you so much! I reach a point in which i could not understand what I have to do to improve precision an this video really helped me a lot!

This helps a lot well explained, well executed, and that close up at the end show's some result; for those who doubt, pay attention to the foot steps, you'll notice the distance ;) Thank you for sharing

Same thing with practical pistol shooting . Especially with slide mounted optics you can occlude the dot to help. I wonder about sticking black tape I. Front of your pine would do the same

Thanks man, this really works

This is true

WOW!!!! EXCELLENT INFORMATION THANK YOU

Great video! I recently saw Joel Turner talking about this same thing in his ShotIQ course as well. It’s made a huge difference in my accuracy.

Im practicing my aiming to go to my fist competition i will use this technique tomorrow, thank you!

100% correct bro , its kindda like instinctive shooting on steroids lol !!!

Are you using snuff or tobacco?

Nice and easy setup

This is instinctive shooting. 😎

Great shooting man!

Kinda like dirt bikes 😂 look where you want to go, not where you're at.

Really just practice enough like this that your brain just aims for you because when you don’t think about it muscle memory takes over and does it for you

Those high heels at the end 👠😂 jk

Great Tipp! Thanks :)

my guy didn’t blink😂

Great advice. I concentrate on the target. I was taught that in the Marine Corps. You want the rear/peep sight and the target to be clear. And you want the front sight post/pin to be blurred. If you're a hu ter, you want to see the movement of your target. So you can alter your shot. You will definitely shoot better. It might not make sense, but once you're accustomed to it, you'll wonder why you did it the other way in the first place.

so if you focus on the target....you'll still have to adjust up or down on the pins...otherwise you'd be just hoping and praying on the distance

This makes so much sense. Definitely trying it tomorrow. Thank you fornposting this

I agree with him a hundred percent up until the target is at a 100 yards. Than those pins come into action. For some it could even range closer than that.

Awesome. Thank you!

Why haven’t I been doing this the whole time

The bad thing for me is I've heard this before, and I still have the issue of watching the pin. It's a habit I have since I started learning and it's hard to break because while I know this, I aim without thinking and because I don't think, I automatically fall back into this bad practice.

They teach this in the Marine Corps

Cheers for this precious tip🙏

Question are you keeping both eyes open when focusing on the target?

I just can thank you so much
You are precise and not confusing
Your english is very clear
Many thanks ,i will try
I am an veteran archer 53 yrs i want to pursue this sport
Pls post some shortcuts like this🙏

After 34 years of bowhunting, I stopped using a pin last year. I "frame it & claim it" using an EZ-V sight now. I don't even have to remind myself to focus on the target instead of the pin, because there are no pins! It took some practice, but I will never go back to using a pin or crosshair for bowhunting. I don't even use a rangefinder for practice any more. Haven't even touched my rangefinder since last spring turkey season. A doe took me by surprise yesterday morning. I still don't know how she got within bow range without me noticing her, but the ground was damp (quiet). I think she may have been the first deer that I harvested from a hang-on stand in a sitting position. I am usually up long before they reach me. Now that my eyes are older, a sight without pins works better for me. I only share all this, because it fits with what you are sharing. Focus on the target!

Solid content, keep up the great work!

got my bow drilling 3" circles at 20 yards but shooting a foot left at 30 yards what could be cause?

Awesome advice! I’m new and have been struggling. One question. One eye, or both eyes open?

I will go out today and give this a try with my new bow. Because that sounds exactly what im going thru. Thank you for the tips. I'll update later with my new results. 👍

that was the one piece of advice I was looking for. I was absolutely focussing on the pin and although I was hitting the target I wasn't consistent. Just went out and fired four arrows at twenty meters after watching your video and they are almost touching each other. Very pleased with that.

ever shoot with 2 eyes open? what do you think of it? i've got a red dot on my handgun so i am comfortable with target focus, 2 eyes open, but i've had to consciously teach myself to close 1 eye for archery and it feels weird.

Do you first focus on the pin just to make sure it’s on the bull then shift focus to the target without moving? I’m brand new to this so I know the bow itself is better than me because they all hit within 6” at 30yards haha it’s hard to miss a 6” circle w a compound bow but I’d rather get 1” groups thanks

Ok I have a question what should I do because I will be aiming my bow like 6 inches below where I want to hit and then instead of moving it up I just flick and shoot how can I fix that if anybody has any tips please tell me

Thanks soo much helped me become more consistent and accurate

That was me hitting the bulls eye all those times…. Faker

Sick! I’d love 30 minutes of shooters with Josh. Thanks!

Really good tip! Thank you. As I just entering to archery, which sight would you recommend? 1pin 3 pin or 5?
Kind regards Robert
