Shooting Better With The Masters!!

[Dsturgisjr]

Since videoing and watching Masters Of The Barebow 1, I've noticed an improvement in my shooting. I put to use tips from all the shooters. Rod Jenkin's gap system really refined my own aiming technique. We've become good friends and I've gotten some great phone coaching from Rod that helped me a lot! Thanks Rod, you are a true champion.

Anyone else inspired by watching these shooters?

Darryl is working on Volume 2 right now.
Here is the DVD jacket - it is still a work in progress.

Heck yes!  Especially Rod.

Any estimate of when it will be available?

Man I cant wait for the second one to come out.  I think I took a little something from all the shooters on the first video.  Everytime I find myself starting to loose form or anything like that I go pop the video in and watch the pros go through the steps again.  I enjoy checking out all the different styles there are.  Keep up the good work Denny and Darryl.  

Denny, do you guys have a E.T.A. on the 2nd video yet?

[Tim Fishell]

Man I really need to learn to type faster.

How do you get a copy of the first one guys...i could definately use some help on a consistant form.  Kirk

denny i get inspired by lots of these videos some of them old like "the moment of truth" watched it last night lol

[B.O.D.]

I really liked the Dale Karch and Dean Torges spots. Dean shoots alot like me, and Dale...Wow; that old boy can shoot!

I got some help from it as well on a couple different things that were causing my groups to widen.

I also get myself back on track reading Terry Green's stuff here, on the Shooter's Forum. He's got some good ideas and little tips I use when I start getting inconsistent results.

yessiree! I found that Dale Karch's style of release has improved my shooting a bit. It's kind of a refinement of my previous style, and works great for me. Hey Denny any plans to include a Hill style bow in the new one....maybe?

[Gordy]

Denny - I really enjoy the Masters Vol 1.  I find I use a combination of the different techniques.  Hold the bow like one, release like another etc etc. But each has something to add for everyone.  

What I enjoy most is just watching them shoot even without commentary and watching the slow motion stuff.

Another thing I really liked was Trish explaining how she got into it and developed her shooting.

Would really like to see you shooting in the next one ..... enjoyed your dance moves and the out-takes.  

[AnointedArcher]

Good stuff Denny - As soon as Volume two comes out I will own that as well.  I am like Gordy, I gleamed a little from everyone but I guess the two guys I gleamed the most from was Darryl & Mr. LaClair, the Michigan Mafia   :D .

However I am even more anxious for you guys to do Vision Quest 2, that is one of my all time favorite hunting videos.

I must be really stupid, cause I didn't get Rod's method. It sure works well for him, and Trish. I very much enjoyed the DVD, and look forward to the next.

[Pat B.]

I agree..  By far I got the most from Rod Jenkins segment but the rest were great as well.
And you're right, Rod is a good fella.

Soon as Vol. II is out I'll have to get it as well..

[Archersteve]

Don't want to look stupid-but how can you get the first volume???

[Oscararrow]

Archersteve, you can buy it off of 3 Rivers Archery site. I just bought one last week!

[Oscararrow]

This is a good DVD with several different styles for many people instead of the cookie cutter style for everyone.

I feel like the Frankenstein Archer that will use all the good stuff, works for me with practice, from each of them.

Also, lets not forget about all of the valuable information we learn off of each other on this site! I know I picked up valuable information-keep up the great work.

I'll keep my eye on Volume II as well; I'd like to see some target archers on it as well. It was great to see the network show some of the Olympic Archers in competition during the summer games. Their shooting form was a piece of art work!

It really is a great video. I love the fact that the styles vary so much, but no one says "This is the way you should do it." Like many here, I have pulled bits from each. I actually think one of the most helpful parts of the video is at the end when it shows their misses. After watching them thump arrow after arrow into tiny groups, I was about ready to give up. Then when Dean made the perfect ass shot I thought "Hey, I've done that! If these guys can be as good as they are and still blow one once in a while, there just might be hope for me!"

Another tip that helped me was when Gene said he has trouble with plucking the string...boy is that me! I suddenly felt relief that I was not alone. These are truly great archers, yet they are subject to the same foibles as not-so-great archers like me. I have definitely improved my shooting by watching and watching and watching, etc. this video. Heck, I think I'll watch it again tonight, it's been a couple weeks.  

[bayoulongbowman]

If I lived near Rod Id be his new best friend! LOL...that man can shoot      

[Darryl Quidort]

I have truly enjoyed meeting and working with all the different shooters on this project.  Each one has been interesting and, surprisingly, I've learned tips that have improved my shooting even from those who use a different method than I do.  An open mind is a wonderful thing.

Vol. 2 will feature some target and tournament shooters that share some new insight on accuracy.  It will also introduce some new faces that share their philosophy on archery and life.  I'm in the editing stages now, but Vol 2 looks like it might be even better than Vol. 1.
