HERE I SIGHT CUT MY ARROWS UNTIL THE PILE COMES BACK TO THE SHELF. BOTH HORACE FORD AND HOWARD HILL RECOMMENDED AN ARROW THAT'S LENGTH LET IT COME BACK TO THE KNUCKLE OR ONTO THE SHELF UP TO THE POINT THE PILE PUSHES IT OFF LINE, BUT AS LONG AS THE ARROW IS RESTING ON IT'S SHAFT IT IS GOOD.

There's no sound on earth that can match an arrow hitting a target. Such a beautiful snap.

Hello from Alaska Gary. I always enjoy winding down in the evening to your videos. Thanks for your genuine content

As usual great advice from a well seasoned longbow archer! Thanks for great advice.

You are SO right about static and dynamic release! When I practice or teach longbow archery I always use the static release. When I teach or practice thumb draw with horsebows it is always a dynamic release, because this style was invented for use on horseback by nomadic people. Great to meet sombody who is thinking the same!

I stumbled into the shortest possible arrow tuning a hill style bow. Always hits where I'm looking. Flies like a lazer beam. Its a thing of beauty. Aside from the ruined nocks anyway.

Thanks for this video, and your down-to-earth and pragmatic way of explaining things. In a world where most try to push their "truth", It's uncommon to find someone who is so objective and can say "This works, this works too, it's a choice and I choose this because..."
I own a Howard Hill style longbow as well, (a Jerry Hil Wildcat 68", 55#@28") and had issues with my 32" draw, but I now see how I can draw it more correctly, with a shorter draw better suited to the bow. I have some shafts I set aside while I was trying to learn better, and I'll be definitely cutting my new arrows to whatever length I come up to after a few tests drawing like you showed here.

I am pretty sure watching Santa shooting the longbow and explaining how to do so made my life complete! Beautiful shots as always Gary!

There seems to be too many opinions on what other people should be doing or what the best style of bow is. I feel you should worry about yourself and shoot whatever makes you happy. If i enjoy something, i could care less about what anyone else thinks. Im about to buy my first hill style bow in a couple months. Maybe I'll love it and maybe I won't but I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens. Im really enjoying your videos. Awesome job!! 👍👍
