Some archers have a specific bow tech they trust implicitly. It's not about the bow itself, but the confidence in that one person's skill. If the bow isn't tuned right, they know the issue isn't the equipment, but themselves. #archery

Galgotias University’s Archery Team secured Bronze at the Khelo India University Games, demonstrating precision, composure and competitive strength on a national stage. #GalgotiasUniversity #Archery #KheloIndia #Sports

Archery offers a quiet focus, a welcome escape when others want different activities. It's never too late to start, with 3-year-olds learning to shoot. Teaching kids, like at Cub Scout camp, to pop balloons with a bow is truly unforgettable. #archery #youth

Turns out most archers shoot too long a draw length, leading to poor form and accuracy. Getting that length dialed in is key to a good shot. Don't guess – get measured, or even better, have someone check your form on video. #archery #bowhunting

Turns out, the biggest buck ever taken was also the first one, shot at 8 years old with Grandpa. That first hunt was an amazing experience, sitting in a tree stand all day. While it's hard to top that first one, any deer provides good meat and a connection to natural food. #archery #hunting

When a bow just doesn't feel right, no matter how much you try to tune it, it's likely not the right bow for you. Sometimes the equipment just doesn't fit your personal shooting style. #archery #bowhunting

Modern bows are getting faster, but often less forgiving. Arrow shaft straightness plays a huge role in accuracy, especially with fixed blades above 300 fps. Even older aluminum arrows can perform well if they're tuned. #archery #tuning

Muzzys don't fly like field tips, and that's okay for hunting. If your bow is tuned for broadheads, the broadheads will hit true. Dialing them in with a U-bar and O-ring, or rotating glued-in blades, ensures they fly straight. #archery #hunting

The Bitzenberger jig is a game-changer for fletching arrows, allowing for precise vane placement. While having multiple jigs is convenient, it can complicate repairs. Cutting off and re-fletching all vanes ensures consistency when a jig's calibration is uncertain. #archery #fletching

This year's open class archery competition was a real fight, with close scores separating the top competitors. Staying focused on a simple shot process—settling shoulders, finding anchor, setting tension, and a smooth pull-through—proved key, even when the pin naturally floated. #archery

Having the right nock pliers is key for archery tuning. The good ones spread nocks open, allowing for adjustments and precise crimping. They're a must-have for on-the-go bow work. #archery #bowhunting

The dedication to archery tournaments is wild. Having to pick up custom bowstrings at midnight on the way to a competition, learning the craft from the owner, and realizing the $7k-$8k jigs are essential for 1000 strings/day output. Quality takes serious tooling. #archery #bowhunting

Achieving perfect arrow flight starts with precise bow tuning. Using levels on the riser, string, and arrow tip ensures everything is plumb and level. Setting the rest so the arrow bisects the 'burger button' and then using a laser sight guide helps dial in perfect center shot. #archery #bowhunting

Dodged the drizzle and shot a 50m PB 🏹🏅...which was nice. #archery

The quest for the perfect bow setup: A look back at a Mathews Q2 from '98-'99 that was surprisingly forgiving, and a PSE Carerra from 2001 that became a go-to hunting bow. Sometimes, it's not about the speed, but the feel. #archery #bowhunting

🏹 Dave “The Dog Man” picked up a bow for the first time at Barefoot Bushcraft on June 2, 2026 — and hit the bullseye. 🎯

Like most people featured in our archery videos, Dave was a first-time shooter learning as he went.

Having your own bow press and draw board saves time and investment, especially for string changes or peep sight installation. It allows for precise adjustments to ensure your arrow, sight, and limbs are perfectly aligned for optimal accuracy. #archery #bowhunting

Turns out, convincing adults to try archery is similar to kids. One shot, and they're hooked. The key is just getting them to that first draw. Practice right now involves my target bow daily; it's currently getting new strings for opening day. #archery #practice

It's tough to spot your own form mistakes. Recording yourself or using aids like a draw-length string can reveal those subtle errors. Even blank-bailing 10-20 arrows daily as a warm-up helps prevent practicing bad habits. #archery #form

Archery broadhead selection is a deep dive: aligning tips, testing new heads, historical setups, and why FOC & arrow weight really matter for a successful hunt. Small tweaks make a big difference. #archery #hunting
