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.

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.

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 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.

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

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?

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.
