Clay Hayes Hunter Longbow, recurve and auto bow shooting – Archery Tips
Some time ago, I published a very popular video on using the gap aiming method to improve accuracy and consistency when shooting a longbow, recurve or auto bow. This video is about another sighting method I use when shooting at long distances beyond my range point. With distance shooting, you estimate the distance below your target, where the tip of your arrow is superimposed on the target or on the ground in front of the target. But when you go beyond your point of aim, you run into the problem of losing sight of your target because your bow hand rises so high that it covers it. This is where the aiming point comes in handy: the aiming point is basically the same concept as aiming by deviation. But instead of estimating the gap while remaining focused on the target, as with gap aiming, you ignore the target altogether and concentrate on another point. For example, at 20 meters, my gap is about 18 inches with the bow and arrows I’m currently shooting. With spread aiming, I focus on the bull’s-eye while taking into account the position of my arrowhead, which is 18 inches below, but in my peripheral vision. With the aiming point, I’d choose a point 18 inches below the bull’s-eye and focus solely on that point, placing my arrowhead there. When I make a good release, the arrow hits 18 inches above where I’ve been concentrating, right in the bull’s-eye. hunting but can be very useful for longer shots on 3D courses or when shooting on stumps. What’s more, hitting distant targets with a bow is just plain fun. Now that we’ve got the basics down, let’s see how useful it can be for long-distance archery. As we mentioned earlier, when I shoot beyond my distance point, I lose sight of the bullseye, so shooting empty is of no use to me. As I can’t see the bull’s-eye, I have to choose another point to aim at. For example, at 45 meters, I need to aim about 18 inches above what I want to reach. All I have to do is choose an aiming point 18 inches above my target and place my point on it. All that’s left is for me to execute a perfect shot and the arrow should fall right in the bull’s eye! It’s as simple as that.

We make the best traditional archery, bow making, recurve hunting, craftsmanship and survival videos on the web. Join Clay, Liz and the kids on their outdoor adventures, from bowhunting deer and elk in the mountains of Idaho to hunting wild hogs in Florida, and practicing crafts and survival skills. We hunt and fish because we love it, but it’s also how we get most of our meat. Hunting is our way of life. We also cultivate a large garden on our Idaho property. This, combined with hunting, fishing and gathering, is how we obtain most of our food.
