Video Transcription

how's it going this is Mitch and Sophie with an aged survival school and yesterday was her birthday I turned five are out stumping for the very first time with her Brady bow and arrow set stay tuned this court beautiful courts that's our new bow and she's shooting for the first time today technically we shot at a couple that's right you new bow technically we shot it a couple times in the house last night yep lots of pine shooting a little area that has an openness to it yeah like a stage over here huh over here we could shoot yeah it seems like a good place for us to shoot a little bit all right let's get you set up put your leg right here no hey you want to start clothes first fine slowly move back spring arrows over here look at the arrow you can see the arrow so you want to straight and then you pull it straight back all the way to your mouth so the tip is right next to the handle that's a full draw like this you let go and you shoot yeah now your bull kicks to the right a little it seems to shoot arrows to the right a little bit so let's try out more time there we go so it seems to kind of go to the right a little bit when I let go the arrows kind of bend to the right so so just so you know that aim towards the left alright okay your turn so you see if you can hit the tree there you go I'll hold this you get set up left hand

go

has been up a little bit anyone with that and focus all the way back into Silvertip okay try again try to hit the tree

strike it now hold on don't shoot while I'm over here why because I'm over here you might hit me we got up the arrows okay try again the way you set this up show you you hold the bow you always hold the bow the way you hold the bow so then so let's watch me watch me so you hold the bow okay so I'm still holding the bow as if I shot I'm still holding it I grab my arrow spin it so the whites facing up put it in the nock put the nock on the string I'm ready to shoot so you never actually let go of the book will your left hand your is holding then when you're ready to shoot next one okay all right try to hit the tree good do it again you shot it remember keep your hand on the bow I know but you look over right now try to keep the left hand holding the bow the whole time hold onto the bow right now will your left hand hold the handle there you go turn it around so it's the right way there you got this see hold like this hold it pull it pull it's so top and spin this put it down slide right that's it okay try again aim it's close boss to the left full draw exactly all the way let's do it together you hold it okay ready

stood together

Oh JA keep going keep going he's gone you hit the tree sighs it was all sideways right and as you get stronger I'll get you another bullet even strong way off to the left all right one more arrow left so you'll hold it like this right on here slide it back until it clicks in good job okay now pull all the way back and ticket open till gets to your mouth you hit the tree again came bouncing back it's crazy all right little bit fat like right here I think you should see where you are for now until you can hit it every single time then you move back all right

very nice yep see my how I put my the bow sideways hey this one's really hard to pull back try

trying to try to hold my but my boss huge it's taller than you are you can't even move it see so as you get stronger I'll get you stronger bows and your arrows can go faster and faster but at least you got your first one you started you get your own bow now I am so excited for you that you have your own bow and arrows

having fun pulling off the pieces as far as you can find again you hit the tree

let's try again get it again they check everything by myself all right you have to stick in you do with the white facing you not on the end

go aim at the tree aim at the tree pull back as far as you can wow you hit it yeah try it again mmm-hmm want to pull back as far as you can

good you hit it again you're getting good yep so what you want to do is you want to hold your arm out as far as you can pretty much right and then you have to have the arawa pull back you want to try to have it be sorts it gets the same place every time like your mouth every time and then you just let go that way the arrows as strong as it can be and it shoots the same strength every time okay one left

yeah I think you've hit it every time you haven't got you the one to stick in yet you've hit it every single time you're getting good already as far as you can make sure you aiming at the tree well I was a good shot I went flying fuck yeah one to shoot all right not the arrows to be on this side of the handle that's why you with the tree pull back as far as you can and there you go so goes forward it as far as you can and it's far back as you can't do little fans exactly yep as far as you can that's the first thing go like this good right in there perfect good job you getting it

all right aim at the tree and I'll pull back as far as you can and go as much as kid you hit it again good I see so fast there all right there I didn't get him okay load it up big no shot you know how to hold it hand nope there you go good very nice yep aim pulls far as you can you hit it again good job nope is that how you set it up no no no no so you wanna know now that you're ready to go first thing you do is you put your hand you aim towards it make sure toilet stall or sideways okay dig bring your head in bring it and now try to put this all the way to meet you good job

white towards you very good

good job yeah you're getting better at it

oh my goodness I love it all right I'll lock them up going right at it that's good frak it touched it it touched it yep yep so try to pull it back a little further give a little a little more strength to your arrow so we can stick in

that was a great shot had a lot of power that time you almost got it just missed it

and

and look at the arrow look down the arrows to help you aim right now you're off to the left come on to the right there you go now try to pull yeah so so what you do is you figure out where where you're I'm not going to shoot okay so I want it to go right here so right now I'm looking down the arrow and then once I see that I have it lined up I keep this where it is my left hand doesn't move doesn't twist and hold it very lightly and I go straight back and then I just let going it's time to let go okay so you put your heroine

I'm watching the arrow I'm looking down it I'm seeing where the tip is facing where the whole shaft is facing then I hold it still where I want to hit it and then I put my hand forward a little bit and I go back at the same time wrenching my left hand stops and my right keeps going straight back to my cheek now your ours I just keep going so I get to my cheek then I double check that I'm still where I should be and I let go that's it that's the whole whole thing you got it again also sure let's stop that little one really far away so I'm gonna take a shot at this one right in front of the camera yeah it's pretty far away let's see if I can hit it I can't see though I know far I can't even shoot back I know so far okay we kick it girl anything I got it I hit the stop come on let's go for a walk right here put my blow up against the tree which are for my bow you see this sort of sits on a stump see my arrow we see it you see a little stumped by shot dead center huh not a bad little shot it's nice and that happens so quick here we go all right so now I only see one arrow there go find your hours before you lose them very easy to lose arrows if you don't grab your arrows right away you can lose him no it's from when you shot them find the rest

all right super long shot now you try to get that deer go properly this down here goes oh it's upside down all right almost that was a great shot that went really far you pull back far that time and that's and that's the thing when I pull back as far as you can until you get the front of the arrow right in there right near the arrow rest the clothes right right if you could get it right to there before you shoot that'd be the best the strongest of both can be every inch you know how big an inch is right little every inch is a big difference in the strength of the arrow it flies every inch mouse that's why I put my finger on it at first that's why I put my finger on it first I'll show you like say I was getting set up with your bow this is how I would hold it what put my finger on it get my hand on here now once I stop pulling back then I let go because now the arrow has tension it's not going to go in now now the tension is off I'm not pulling back anymore

that's how I do it right Oh Big Shot try again

same exact spot yep it's harder back here huh
