He says more in 3 minutes with more clarity than most others say in 30.

This is how I instinctively shot as a child. Then I was told that I was doing it wrong. And that thumb release is wrong. That it didn't matter that I was hitting the target, I was doing it wrong. From then on out, I was watched and 'corrected' every time I went outside to shoot. I ultimately stopped shooting because I didn't like it anymore, didn't like the 'right' way. Just starting to get back into it, having decided I was going to do it my way. The timing of this video popping up is perfect (yes, I know it was made 1.5 years ago).  Instant subscribe.

i feel like im being taught by a Bond villain, and i love it.

1:40 "And what do you hear? Nothing. I shot the backstop." The accent just makes it better. Instructional and absolutely entertaining

"Do you look at the stone, or do you look at where you want to throw it?"

Oh wow. That opens a whole new way of thinking for me.

Subscribed!

amazing, such simplicity...."you throw a stone you don't look at the stone you look at the target". thank you Armin.

I bought a bow at a renaissance festival and started shooting it in my backyard. Everything he's talking about, from not aiming with the arrow to how he holds his hand to his cheek and keeps both eyes open, I learned instinctively from repeated failure. Amazing!

I like that... "When you throw a stone, do you look at the stone or look where you want to throw it?"  - Perfect analogy

Please write a book.

How Is It possibile that a 5 minute video explains a concept so clearly? Nice, thanks

At last a clear and precise explanation of how to aim without sights

I've seen so many videos that don't actually explain how to aim. Thank you for actually giving instruction on how to aim.

Your "AIMING FACE" is epic.

The throwing a stone analogy was spot on. Thank you for this amazing tutorial!

"and what do you hear, nothing I shot the backstop." was legendary

Was trying to hit a cup from a couple yards out. Hit it once in about 75 shots. Sat down a couple of minutes and watched this video. And hit it on my very first shot. Thank you!💪🏻

This principle is why people who have never held a gun can pick one up and hit a target or bad guy with their first shot.   They have no preconceived ideas or bad habits, they just point.  The first time my mother fired a shot gun was at thrown clay pigeons.  She out shot my dad who had been shooting all his life.

Man, you speak so damn fast. More than half of your wisdom went over my head.

" Point not Aim" ...Perfect and exactly correct.
INSTINCTIVE / Intuitive Archery.. you have the very best computer ever created... your human brain... No other equipment needed to HIT a target and bring home food or protect yourself.... then just practice practice practice not being in control.  
Great job with the examples.

What I do is in a way, I aim my bows like I aim a rifle with iron sights. I don't place the arrow tip directly on the target, but maybe no more than a half inch below the target instead. After shooting for awhile you'll notice that once releasing an arrow, it will not fly in a direct straight path, but it actually slightly rises initially and then drops as it reaches its target, kind of like throwing a rock, but in this case its an arrow. If you point the arrow directly at the target, depending on your distance from it, it will fly and strike directly above it like how it was demonstrated in the video. This is because our minds are designed to act on this perception that we need to point at our target directly in order to hit it, which is completely wrong in certain cases. Same concept when trying to shoot a bird out of the air or spear a fish directly in the water while standing from land. You can't hit the bird because it'll have already flown past where you pointed and shot, and you can't hit the fish because of the refraction of the water giving us the illusion that the fish is somewhere where it really isn't. Once you learn to retrain your brain on these illusions and physics it will help make you a much better aim. That and practice is the key. Doing simple calculations in your head isn't going to make you hit a target if your muscle memory isn't trained for handling and aiming the same exact way consistenly.
