  • What is instinctive archery?

    Instinctive archery was popularized by G. Fred Asbell, an American bowhunter and instructor. Where people shoot without any technical equipment and only rely on hand-eye coordination. The term has existed for at least 80 years.

  • What is traditional archery?

    Traditional archery uses simple, natural bows and arrows without modern technology like sights or stabilizers. Archers rely on instinct and experience to hit their targets.

  • What do I need to get started?

    To get started with archery, you need a certain set up of products. This includes: bow, arrows, armguard, quiver and archery gloves. If you want to shoot at home, you still need a target.

  • Bows

    The draw weight of the bow is like horsepower in the car. Higher number means stronger bow. Beginners should start with low draw weight. "RH" or "LH" refers to draw hand. Right hand: Hold the bow on the left, pull the string with the right hand. Left hand: Vice versa.

  • Arrows

    Carbon arrows are ideal for beginners. They are light and durable. The length of the arrow depends on your draw length. At low draw weight the spine value should be high, while at high draw weight a low spine value is necessary.

  • Equipment

    The protective equipment is essential in archery. The armguard protects your arm from the string, the shooting glove is used to pull the string and the quiver is used for arrow storage.
