VOGTLAND SHOOTING METHOD

In this episode VOGTLAND OUTDOORS host Mark Vogt gets to shoot his brand-new 60# (actuall 75# at my 32in draw length!) English Longbow accurately at 30m in just 5 minutes (3 shots in fact) using THE VOGTLAND SHOOTING METHOD !

The VOGTLAND SHOOTING METHOD - with its combination of Stringwalking, Olympic Recurve anchoring, innovative arrowhead-as-front-pin and release technique - is so versatile it can even be applied to shooting a straight-handled English Longbow with excellent results !

In this video you'll be seeing Mark shooting the bow literally for the very first time, using The VOGTLAND SHOOTING METHOD and hitting the 30 m target every single time, and even scoring bullseyes on the 3rd shot!

ONE IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE WITH SHOOTING ENGLISH LONGBOWS is that you're quite literally shooting AROUND the HANDLE unlike shooting THROUGH the RISER as with a more conventional shelf-based recurve bow or longbow. This means you will need to compensate by aiming every-so-slightly to the RIGHT of dead center - in my case at 30m I was aiming about 2 inches from absolute dead center. I MAY be able to "tune this out" by change to DIFFERENT SPINED ARROWS - watch for this experimentation in upcoming videos...

I was SUPER-PLEASED with the performance of my $179 eBay English Longbow, both in terms of its quality and in terms of its performance. Yes, there WAS more hand-shock experienced with an English Longbow than with my (beloved) Martin Saber recurve, but there's still SOMETHING ABOUT SHOOTING AN ENGLISH LONGBOW that is just, well, DAMN COOL. You literally FEEL the POWER as you draw back - it's really something !

My only surprise was re-learning (the hard way by being SO sore the next morning) that this bow came with 2 poundage markers scribed on it:
60# @ 28 inches (I'm 6 ft-1in, so that's NOT me), and
75# at 32 inches (yup - that IS me)

Boy did I feel that in my neck and upper back the night after I first shot it - in fact, I shot this bow Saturday later afternoon, and am up at 200a Sunday morning posting this video because I CAN'T SLEEP my neck & back muscles are SO stiff :-O ...

HERE'S THE LINK TO THE BOW I PURCHASED - I WILL DEFINITELY PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE FROM THIS BOWYER !!!
