It's been a while since I posted a traditional archery shooting video but with bowhunting season just around the corner, I thought I'd toss up a crash course in traditional archery for bow hunting. I'll go over archery stance, string hand position, bow hand position, psychological triggers, drawing, archery form, back tension and follow through. I'll also link to previous videos which go in-depth into each of these facets of archery. In this video I'm shooting a sinew backed osage longbow but these techniques will work for recurve bows, longbows, and even compounds.

Here's the "Shooting & Tuning" Playlist where you'll find detailed videos covering each part of my shot sequence, from stance to form and follow through to how to aim a recurve or longbow.

Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!
