One of the most common questions I get is in regards to draw length. Many people don’t understand the process of finding the correct draw length for their bow.

Don’t worry! I’m gonna make it nice and easy

Here’s a simple process that you can do real quick with a tape measure:

Simple and to the point!

This will prevent things like over draw which could lead to things like limb failure, lack of consistent anchor and less than optimal draw weight

To insure that you’re getting the best out of your bow, be sure to measure your draw length and let me know if you draw length exceeds 29 inches.

Odinson Archery Carbon Arrows

Without a doubt, the strongest and most durable arrows on the market today are carbon arrows. Light weight, fast and able to take a hit; carbon arrows are the best on the market right now for the modern archer. The only issue is that finding feather fletched arrows at a decent price is nearly impossible. This is mainly because each arrow usually needs to be custom made. Buying carbon arrows with plastic fletching just doesn’t cut it for a self or recurve style bow.

At Odinson Archery, we have remedied that issue with our Odinson Archery Carbon Arrows. These arrows come feather fletched with our classic “Red/Black” design and are ready for a variety of different weight bows. Our arrows are 28 inch in length for the modern archer looking for a solid arrow. One big advantage our arrows offer over most of the feathered arrows on the market is the wrap around the front of the feathers. This saves feather life when shooting and prevents an feather from sticking into the hand which is a common issue for self bow shooters.

Thumb Draw Archery: A Traditional Technique with Modern Appeal

Archery has been practiced for thousands of years, and over time, different techniques have emerged in different parts of the world. One such technique is thumb draw archery, which has its roots in Central Asia and has been used by nomadic tribes for centuries. Today, thumb draw archery is gaining popularity around the world, as people rediscover this ancient technique and its unique benefits.

So what exactly is thumb draw archery? At its core, it’s a technique that involves using the thumb to draw the bowstring, rather than the fingers. This allows for a smoother and more consistent release, which can improve accuracy and reduce the risk of injury. Think of it as the primitive version of the trigger release used on Compound Bows today.

One of the key benefits of thumb draw archery is its simplicity. Once the method is mastered, there’s little room for error in achieving a clean release.

Another benefit of thumb draw archery is its versatility. This technique can be used with a variety of bow styles, including recurve bows, longbows, and even modern compound bows. This makes it a great option for archers of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced hunters with proper training.

In addition to its practical benefits, thumb draw archery also has a rich cultural history. This technique has been used by nomadic tribes in Central Asia for centuries, and it’s still practiced today by traditional archers around the world. By learning thumb draw archery, you can connect with this rich cultural heritage and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of archery.

The biggest learning curve for getting proficient at thumb draw is aiming. You’ll find many different schools of thought out there on how to aim correctly but I find that most of them require excess bow movement and tend to frustrate the student. At Odinson Archery, I’ve simplified this method to an easily teachable form to have students on target in record time.

If you’re interested in learning thumb draw archery, there are many resources available to help you get started. You can find instructional videos from Odinson Archery on various methods of training to become a skilled thumb draw shooter.

When it comes to survival situations, having a reliable weapon can be the difference between life and death. While guns are often the go-to choice for many people, they can be loud, heavy, and require ammunition that may not be readily available in a survival situation.

That’s why many survivalists turn to a more traditional weapon: the bow and arrow.

Using a bow and arrow for survival requires skill and practice, but it also offers a number of advantages over other weapons. Here are some of the key benefits of using a bow and arrow in a survival situation:

1. Lightweight and portable: Unlike guns, which can be heavy and bulky, a bow and arrow is lightweight and easy to carry. This makes it an ideal choice for situations where you need to move quickly or cover a lot of ground.
2. Quiet: A bow and arrow is virtually silent, which makes it an ideal choice for hunting or self-defense situations where you don’t want to draw attention to yourself.
3. Versatile: A bow and arrow can be used for a variety of tasks, including hunting, fishing, and self-defense. This makes it a versatile tool that can be used in a wide range of survival situations.
4. Sustainable: Unlike guns, which require ammunition that may not be readily available in a survival situation, a bow and arrow can be used repeatedly with minimal maintenance. This makes it a sustainable choice for long-term survival situations.

Of course, using a bow and arrow for survival requires skill and practice.

Here are some tips for getting started:

1. Choose the right bow: There are many different types of bows available, including recurve bows, longbows, and compound bows. Choose a bow that is going to fit your body type but also easy to repair in the field.
2. Practice regularly: To become proficient with a bow and arrow, you need to practice regularly. Start by practicing your stance and grip, and then move on to shooting at targets.
3. Learn to hunt: Hunting with a bow and arrow requires a different set of skills than hunting with a gun. Learn to track animals, read signs, and shoot accurately from a distance.
4. Build your own arrows: In a survival situation, you may not have access to store-bought arrows. Learn to build your own arrows using natural materials like wood, feathers, and sinew.
5. Learn to fish: A bow and arrow can also be used for fishing. Learn to shoot accurately at moving targets like fish in a stream or river

Taking these skills with the bow and arrow and learning to effectively use them will be the difference between whether you survive or perish in a survival situation.

Adding a bow and arrow to your arsenal is the key to becoming a sustainable survivalist.

“I practice multiple times a week and I’m STILL off target!”

” I just can’t seem to get decent groups consistently”

Throughout my 20 plus years of archery experience and training, I have noticed that there is one MAJOR flaw that most of archers have in common.

This one simple practice has caused more training scars for archers than ANY other practice out there. Each time I find myself at the range with my Assassin Bow , I see other archers doing it and training others to do it as well.

I’m willing to bet that you’ve done it too.

Almost ALL of you are practicing TOO FAR AWAY from the target.

“But Odinson, it’s a bow…..you’re supposed to shoot far away?”

Let me explain…

When it comes to truly mastering the bow, everything comes from your form and the ability to maintain that form throughout your training.

How many people do you see go to the range, stand at the 20 yard line and begin their practice there?

You’re that guy/gal aren’t you?

ALL TRAINING should begin and end with form work.

This is not done at the 20 yard line. Your form work should be done at the 5 yard line.

The goal isn’t about hitting bullseyes here. You should be focused on the process of making your shot.

How is your stance?

Are You Consistently Anchoring In the Same Spot?

Is Your Bow Arm Locking Down?

Are You Plucking The String?

How’s Your Follow Through?

Can You Close Your Eyes & Consistently Make That Shot?

Your goal is to FEEL the shot. This is the time to consciously take time to focus on every aspect of your shooting process. Don’t worry about bullseyes right now. Breathe, feel the shot and take an assessment of your process. Looks for consistencies in your shooting form and arrow performance.

The common thing I hear from beginning archers is that they don’t have enough room for archery training. At those beginning stages, MOST of your archery training should be done at very close ranges to perfect that form.

All you need is 5 yards.

This will build the foundation for consistent groups and a true instinctive shot.

This will also help eliminate common issues like target panic, plucking the string, Lockdown and inconsistent anchor.

Here’s my Personal Routine:

Warm Up (absolutely necessary for longevity)

Form Work (Close Range 5 Yards) – 10 to 15 minutes

Practice Whatever Technique Of The Day at Chosen Range (thumb draw, speed reloading, etc) – 30 minutes or more

Form Work (Light Training Bow 5 Yards) – 10 minutes

The light bow at the end gives my body also a chance to sort of “cool down” from my archery practice. That’s one of the great benefits of something like our Trainer Pack and having that extra lighter version training bow. As an older archer, I definitely appreciate the value in that.

Try this routine, stick with it and I’m willing to bet you’ll start seeing those groups tighten up and your accuracy improve.
