Not sure when the video was first shot, but they look like they might have been hired to entertain at the Clevers...
Nonetheless, they shoot really well. The Hill style is correctly described. Hill himself was not only an amazing archer, but not surprisingly, his style is in some ways the most complete and the nearest modern practices such as FITA. That may be hard to believe, but it is true. The basis are archery is as follows:
- Strength/conditioning - Stance/grip/drawhand - Initiation/tempo/shot routine - Drawing and holding - Aiming or otherwise providing for the arrow to hit with accuracy - The surprise release - Follow through
- Mental game
This kind of list/sports science approach, is not addressed in this video, but it is in the Hill system.
Hill is widely respected as possibly the greatest archery shot of the modern era, yet very few people actually try to shoot according to his style. But whether for information or practical purposes this is how it is done.
The production will require patience from those who don't remember an earlier age of TV, or short film subjects. I give it a top rating because it's the real deal.
These guys are some pretty good bowhunters (tape is all indoors), and between them they are also top bowyers, and leathersmiths (American Leathers). Schultz taught a number of the current big names in instinctive archery back when he was in the Montana scene. He has been profiled in major mags.
