I think Rod's explanation of his shooting style was one of the best gap shooting how-t's I've ever seen. And his results speak for themselves.

Volume I was outstanding. I'm really looking forward to Volume II.

Ya,volume 1 was outstanding,learning is an endless process,can't wait to see volume2.

Great Videos. Thanks.  I have really enjoyed watching it and my shooting has improved.  I live near Ron LaClair and he got me started with a Tim Meigs longbow 15 years ago.  Recently I was frustrated with my shooting.  Especially after missing a buck last December.  After reading on the other site about Pat L's switch back to the compound bow because he didn't have time between work and family.... I even dusted off my old PSE compound bow and put a wisker biscuit on it and bought some carbon arrows with blazers for it.  Now I am back shooting my longbow and having a blast.  My accuracy has really improved.  Thanks for a great video.

Just wanted to thank both Denny and Darryl for putting the first one together.  For a guy like me who picked up a bow on his own and was living 1 1/2 hours from the nearest archery shop, it really was an invaluable tool.

Is Larry Yein going to be one of the shooters in II?  I can't wait to see a tourney LB shooter!  

Thanks again.

Watched it again, then went out and shot. It worked, my groups were tight! I guess I probably shoot like a combination of Dale, Gene, Dean and Darryl (not that well of course).

I sure do admire Ron, but there is way too much thinking involved in gap shooting for me. I understand the concept, but I can't seem to make it work for me.

Many Arrows Lost

This has totally revolutionized shooting longbows for me.  I have always been mediocre, having good days and bad.  After watching Volumn I over and over I picked up several characteristics that have made me very consistant.  Hurry up with Volumn II  :thumbsup:  .

Denny & Darryl - I know this thread is about Masters of the Bare Bow, but are there any plans to do a volume 2 on Vision Quest? That is a great video!

I agree, terrific DVD, and can't wait for volume 2!

Jeff Sample

I enjoyed it, learned a bit, laughed a lot. It is a really well done production. Denny - stick to bowhunting and working the camera - you can't dance worth a darn! I got a real kick out of Dean "the perfect A#* shot" Torges. I was particularly impressed with Ron LaClair's and Terry Green's shooting abilities - IMPRESSIVE!
Keep up the good work  :thumbsup:

After watching the masters:

I tweaked my grip and anchor point. My attitude is more positive and relaxed. I still use the push/pull draw, but know what to lookout for. Alignment is better. Aiming is more concentrated and intense. I can fight off periods of panic. My equipment is tuned better. I can dance better.

And best of all - TURKEYS ARE EASY     :)    


   

We don't have plans to do another TVQ right now.

So you've got an anchor point now?   :rolleyes:

WOW! Seems like after shooting that chicken-sized bearded hen last spring Ron would be more humble. LOL  :biglaugh:

Ron LaClair

I've always tried to be a humble person Denny, you must bring out the worst in me.   :rolleyes:

As far as my breaded hen...anyone can shoot one of those big Tom's, hens are smaller and harder to hit.   :archer:

I really got a bunch out of the Video.  My favorite pointer was when Ron described maintining the angle of the deep hook through to release.  I started doing that instead of letting my fingers creep open and my anchor got even more confident, and back tension and release both became more consistent.

I also enjoyed seeing how all these veteran shooters use different approaches to achieve consistent accuracy.

Hey Ron, when is shrew III going to be ready?

hey ron are those "breaded" hens pre cooked????  The best thing I learned from the video is how not to keep arrows in my quiver.. lol

Denny,

I enjoyed volume 1 and looking forward to volume 2.  

I would really like to see what these archers can do at unknown yardages with the FIRST arrow without a warm up.
