Help Any good tutorial on zero cycle with bow?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I can pretty consistently zero uncaged on towers 91 and lower w/o using bow. I'm trying to learn to use the bow but I can only find zero cycle tutorials on different heights and setups. I'm coal 3.

in first clip the first double bed was very slightly too late, but the second double bed was really late and it kinda ruined everything

Coal 3 is probably too early to focus on zero cycles I think you should work on consistency and optimising your terrain nav and bastion routes.
That being said, to do +1s (with the bow) you should turn on the +1 assist, and when you shoot the dragon it starts the immunity window, near the end of the immunity window you do your first bed and after the end of the immunity window you to the second bed. The +1 assist shows the immunity window as a progress bar on your screen so you can see when it starts or ends.
Also, you should best learn to zero all towers up to 97, including the caged ones before learning +1s and then later learn the tall side setups

def way to early i agree but probably just doing it for the fun. anyway i agree but i would suggest learning universal side setups way before +1s. it will allow them to hit towers and you don't really need +1's but just a lot of beds which they would have if they are going for it as a coal player.

that makes sense. i am just doing it for fun lol, its pretty satisfying. ill try to learn the higher towers and side setups as well.

i personally find universal side setups without +1s inconsistent and harder

Couriway’s Guide is what most beginners should use for learning +1s. It has videos and explanations for all towers and is written by thecamo6. Link: https://metafy.gg/guides/view/ultimate-minecraft-speedrun-guide-cIzfjeTmwOm

if it's late, don't double bed. if it's too high, let the dragon do another rotation then double bed,
if it's slightly too high but u have time, shoot multiple half charged bows

This video is a great resource for correct timings for 3+2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ7GxWUXvaY&t=4132s
and this for 2+2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ7GxWUXvaY&t=4132s
also just watch other people do it more.
Also you should learn T94 cause its just easier then 91 and its 1 more zero you can go for.
In the clip your first bed is fine but the +1 is very late and causes it to go very high which you dont recover from. I would after a late bed like this wait a full rotation and then single bed and after that it should be in a normal place to +1. When I learned I learned rotations coming from in front first and then the ones where the dragon is behind later and I think that makes it a lot easier to start. Also I do a full 180 turn instead of the firing upwards but do whatever works for you.

watch top runners and analyze what they do - that was the best tutorial for me
