Clay Hayes Hunter Tips for traditional archery

Clay Hayes Hunter Tips for traditional archery

As part of our series of traditional archery tips, this week we look at the string hand and the archery hook, i.e. how I place my fingers on the bowstring. This point may seem trivial, but it can have a considerable impact on accuracy and consistency with bow and arrow. We’ll talk about different techniques, including split finger and 3 under shooting methods, as well as the pros and cons of different types of archery hooks, such as the deep hook, the medium hook and the shallow hook.

We’ve already covered archery form, bow hand position and archery stance. In future videos, we’ll cover bow release and tracking, aiming with a recurve bow, target panic, buck fever, and much more.

Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel. Every week we upload a new video on one of the following topics: archery, bowhunting, bowmaking, survival techniques, bushcraft, self-reliance, primitive techniques, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and much more!

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.
