Title: "Beyond the Ridge", just finished a few beginner videos
Post by: Ryan Sanpei on March 30, 2012, 01:11:00 PM
Hey Gang,
As some of you already know, I'm trying to work on a resource for beginning traditional bowhunters.  I just finished a few videos.  I tried to keep it short, simple and straight to the point. I 'll be working on more videos throughout the year and hopefully I'll add more detail and insight along the way. If you like what you see and know of anyone who is just starting out, feel free to refer them to the videos.

Aloha!

I watched your videos and I think you did an excellent job.  It will be useful for beginners and even those that have shot for awhile as a refresher.  I wish I would have had access to something like this when I started traditional, maybe the journey wouldn't have been so challenging with having to unlearn bad habits.  Nice work!

Thanks Jesse!

Thanks for the kind words Tom.  Yeah my journey in the beginning was rough!!!

Thanks Mike,
I know you're a teacher but you need to use words that I can understand. LOL! I had to look up the word "succinct".    :D  

The hardest part with these videos is finding that right balance between too much information and not enough.

Aloha!

Great videos sir. To the point, with just enough information to make me revisit, and concentrate on the fundamentals.

Of course my form would probably improve if I was shooting in Hawaii! Mahalo, and look forward to future ones.- Brad

Great information. You did a great job on the vids and I think any new archer would be able to understand exactly what you are saying.

Excellent work Ryan!

You are creating a very nice resource and with the surge in popularity of traditional archery these should get a lot of hits.

I also enjoyed "Troy's 1st Trad Hunt" - good stuff right there!

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Thank you everyone!  I really appreciate the kind words. At first, I was a little worried about the videos.

I didn't have any local resources when I started shooting trad and it was a rough journey to say the least.  Luckily I had help of others via the internet.  Hopefully this will help others that are struggling with the same situation that I encountered in the past.

I'm currently working with a few local "beginners".  I'm documenting their journey on my blog.  I'll try to capture more of their hunts on video.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Aloha,
Ryan

Nice job on breaking it all down.  I'll use them next year with the kids in my club.  It nice for them to hear the same things from multiple sources.

I wouldn't say I'm a beginner at all and ever I can take something from your videos. Things we all likely know, but need a little reminder. Thanks for the videos and I loved Troy's first hunt.

Michael,  I'm glad that you'll be able to use these vids for the kids in your club.  That's awesome.  Hopefully, I'll have a few more by then.

Thanks Curt,
