Best traditional shooting DVD

Okay, so I want to buy the best instructional DVD on traditional shooting. Which one can't I live without? Thanks!

what kind of trad shooting do you want to do?

I first learned BT's method which is shown in Judgement Call. It invloves using a flipper rest as an aiming aid. I was able to pick that up very quickly and was hunting only about 2 months after first picking up my bow.
From there it was an easy jump to shooting "instictive" which is my primary way of shooting now. I tried this first and was very frustrated.

One method, which dosen't work for me that well, is Byron Fergeson's method. it invloves using the tip of the arrow to aim. His video "become the arrow" is awesome. he is an amazing shot and shows how he does it. His method may work great for you, I don't know.

The use of an aiming aid cuts down on the time to required to learn how to use a trad bow. Byron Fergeson promotes using the arrow as an aiming guide - lots of folks shoot 3 fingers under the arrow to try to get the arrow closer to the eye so you can just look down the shaft. Another method is to not look at the arrow at all - directly that is. Rather, see the arrow in your peripheral vision and learn to envision the path that the arrow will take. You have to learn the flight offered or cast of your bow. This is by Jay Kidwell.

For DVD's I'd look at 3-Rivers collection of trad shooting dvds - pick out something that sounds good! I can't offer a pick, I've not seen any of them.

My pal Kevin is a Fergeson type of guy... I read Kidwell. I don't see where he shoots any better than I do.

Thanks, guys....looking at Masters of the Barebow vol. 1. I am open to shooting styles, as I am an absolute beginner with trad. equipment.

Red, Videos are nice to watch, and can be a great help..... sometimes,...... but I believe the most helpful video you'll ever see is the one taken of you, while you are shooting......Grab a friend and give it a try!

Thanks, voodoo...good suggestion. I found this one very helpful:

Instinctive Shooting DVD
With G. Fred Asbell

I needed something to get me started, as it was the first time I ever shot traditional equipment.

Oh, well that is a little different ......there are some nice ones out there as you have mentioned, I don't have any instructional vids or I'd send them up, figure I've been at this so long all they'd do at this point is confuse me,lol,lol.
