If you & Joel Turner would have a baby together - it would be the greatest archery teacher in the Universe. You've taught me everything I ever use in a good shot & I've never even met you.
Took the words right out of my mouth! Between this video, Joel's course and many of Dudley's video, especially his latest on thumb position are absolute gold to new archers AND seasoned archers that are looking to sharpen his or her skills!! Thanks again GR!!!
I’ve met him several times and had the honour of him staying with us. GRIV rocks! A true legend.
That’s the best break down on proper technique of a release aid I’ve ever seen or heard!!
Priceless explanation. George, you have forgot more about archery than most of us will ever know! BTW, the beard and mustache are simply awesome!!
After countless hours of watching videos.... FINALLY a visual answer to the question how to shoot a hinge. Good job.
Awesome, it just takes time and consistency to find it and keep it.
“ if I only had a brain?” 👍👍 it’s so simple ( and then it ain’t). Seriously, when I get my shot to do exactly as so my arrow hits the mark. Simply amazing! Seriously, I bust my ass to make shots like this totally second nature, unconsciously function, for one real reason- to bury an arrow exactly where I want it in the heart of a deer. Shooting dots on paper isn’t my thing but it has helped get this technique drilled into my tiny brain. 👍👍
George, you are "damned" good teacher as I already told you several time during the last 10 years. Your technique is great and it works perfectly when is applied with discipline. To day I am almost 81, and it can works even now, ...but, unfortunately, I'm shaking to much and that affects greatly the follow-through, with poor results. Nothing can fix oldness!
Congratulation my friend for your knowledge and capacity of communication!
Roberto
Keep on trucking Roberto! see you at ALC League this winter
I do this every time I'm unloading my tractor and trailer which is a tank no reason to bitch at me the whole time I'm practicing that shot right there I've probably done it 10000 times I'm gonna keep doing it because sometimes it don't lineup exactly with how the bow draws when you're using a string you're release may pull back different but I feel like the more I do it the more I get to consistency Down Pat I feel like I'll be able to manipulate the release better
Mr. Ryals, how do you tech activating a hinge? Is it intentionally rolling it in your hand? Or just pulling through? I’ve used a hinge for 2 years but struggle activating it consistently using the same technique. When I roll the hinge I come off my anchor point. When I pull through it pulls my front bow arm around. When I try and let my release hand expand my shot collapses or gets shaky as I lose tension. Can you give any advice sir? Or make a video?
Finally the number one video I've come across so far on how to use a release. Im using a thumb button. Even the manufacturer couldn't give me direction. Others were confusing or didn't give enough info. Many thanks for this. I'm hours away from any archery shop or club and learn all I can using TH-cam videos such as this and John Dudley. I love archery and its tough to stick with it when there's nobody around to share or learn from. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
I’ve been working on this past 6 months. I think I’m about 75% there with it, but a way to go still.
This is the most comprehensive and best way to shoot a hinge/trigger, I’ve ever come across.
This is a game changer! I’ve been struggling badly with my thumb release since I switched from an index a few weeks ago. I tried all kinds of techniques but never achieved any kind of consistency. This was a noticeable difference in one session. Am punching the center of my targets out now, no joke. This is awesome and thank you for sharing!
You're so welcome!
I use butt tension. When I am at full draw and keep pulling but the shot doesn't go off, I then start squeezing my butt cheeks together until the pucker factor hits zero, then I nail the trigger.
if you stomp your rear foot at the moment of release for emphasis, you'll be more stylish and accurate.
Bought my first bow one year ago, and have come a long way, how youtube hasn't recommended you before is beyond me. Awesome video. Thank you for your help.
Awesome! Thank you!
I can see why you are such a good teacher.
Freaking legend at it again
Thank you for this! 🙌
I've been telling everybody I know on God's Earth about that right there that's stretching of the Palm
I got back into archer last summer after 30 years away. Got my first release; an index. Learned the wrong way. Now starting over with a UV button. Blank bailing and now shooting at ten feet using back tension and focusing on a surprise release. Getting into the nuances of making the release fire but if I wrap my thumb and engage back tension, it goes off every time. Now I'm trying to make the time to release more consistent so as not to have to pull too long.
Rugged outdoorsman impersonating Ryals what the hey. This Mt man knows his stuff too. Say bye to Ryals and keep this guy 😇😇😎
Ive been having some issues lately, i regressed back to serious target panic. A Semi Pro shooter here in Australia put me onto this technique and immediately i started shooting better and the whole feel of my draw and release has changed now. That feeling when you come out of a valley into a peak in progression is like no other. Thankyou for your part in that!
Great content. This winter I am definitely coming down for some lessons!!
And obviously who I learned it from
I have started shooting a TruBall Abyss Xtension Flex (the Jesse Broadwater signature release)as a back tension release. There is a thumb button that you hold to release the safety and then “pull through” the release. Will this method work with that type of release too?
Done in some variation close to what I'm showing, Any release will work great using form and it's pressure to activate.
I practice your method and the arrow just go straight most of times. Thanks you !
Great Explanation!.. now I just have to wait for my button to arrive...
great video thanks a lot! i jut got the button release
At 2:50 you explain relaxing the wrist. You also see your index finger relax. Your method moves more body parts. Why not just relax the index finger. Same for a hinge. You have to transfer the preload to the back finger or it will never go. Bernie Pellerite taught B.T. for years that I disagree with. I can't count how many times I have watched people start to aim and start shaking the second they apply B.T. One could argue you have break down in the shot if you relax. So the less muscle you relax the better. Or you have to apply pressure to the trigger or the back side of a hinge. Sergio shot a thumb trigger from spot hogg with a relaxed feature. Just my 2 cents
If you relax your finger you loose pressure. Your sight slips low at the instant of release. Most people screw that up.
I choose my words based on what most people understand and get results with during hundreds of face to face lessons a year for the last 30 years.
@@georgeryals It's only the index finger I relax. There is so little movement you can't see it. Same as your method. Just less muscle movement.
I'm not sure of your relax statement. Is it my that loses the sight picture. Or relaxing in general. Thanks for the reply.
Whoa whoa whoa, let’s talk about that loop!!!!
Great video, I really needed the visua, thanks. Does this work equally well in hunting situations that are less predictable?
A well done shot is a shot, it works no matter what the target is or the conditions.
I dug deeply into the punching route with my hinge and I am trying for the second time to change it but I am facing the same issues as before. I try to activate the hinge through back tension and slight finger rotation but it moves incredibly slow so I end up with a ton of pressure between my arms by the time the shot goes off. I end up quite tired after only a few sets and feel discomfort in my front elbow and both shoulders. Another problem I've always had is leaning during shots which gets worse when I try to shoot properly without punching, even reaching the point to where my back bar hits my hip during the shot process. My best scores are 685/720 and 146 elimination but I keep facing the issue of having a reaction in my front arm when I shoot under pressure which makes me miss and that's why I want to change. I really have no idea how to make the hinge work properly without a large amount of discomfort. Any advice is very much appreciated
It's important that you experiment and choose your technique with a string instead of the bow. Taking time to completely learn and master the release technique before you shoot at targets or at distance is the fastest way to getting it right and making it easy.
@@georgeryals An update to where I'm at right now- Since october/november I started with blank bail up close just to figure out how to activate the release properly. After about two to three months of that I started moving away from the target. Now I'm at a point where I don't have a problem with shooting without punching and it's even become my default thought process with every release I pick up. That is not to say I've mastered this technique. I still have a hard time balancing the pushing and pulling forces through the shot. Often I find that I take a bit too long and that causes me to start leaning back more (I've always leaned back a bit when shooting and have not been able to fix it at all) and that makes me lift my front shoulder up in order to keep the pressure on the release but in turn I lose good form and my front arm is no longer nicely in the joint and stable so I just end up overstretched and wobbling until the release goes off. I try to return the arrow back when I feel I'm starting to do that. I also often manage to shoot a tight group in and around the 10 ring and every now and again I'd get a flyer in the 8 or even worse with what I'd feel was a very slight mistake. Moving forward how can I improve upon this technique as I've learned that it is way more difficult than just punching and what should I focus on as I'm no longer tempted to punch it ? Thanks so much for the amazing lessons you bring to all of us George !
Should my button release be set on the hotter side or the colder side for this technique? Great video!
I start with the button stiff so activation has to be intentional and heavy handed. Once you master the technique, you can change the tension into medium range to make the speed a little more snappy. Keep the tension heavy enough you can actually place the thumb on the button with some good starting pressure without risk of a misfire.
Thank God for you sir
The goatee is so on point Griv! 🐐
So glad to find this technique. Thanks George.
Glad it was helpful!
Hummmm. Whats with his D loop.... never seen that before
That is called a torque-less loop. They are way better in my opinion. You can buy them here ultraviewarchery.com/products/torque-less-d-loops?_pos=1&_psq=tor&_ss=e&_v=1.0
😊😊😊👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
As a new person, this helps immensely.
Great! keep your eye out for new tips every week.
Meanwhile James Lutz be like lol trigger goes bang
People like him and Douglas and Gillingham just have a different level of mental toughness. I've tried it and I was screwed in the first 20 shots. I don't know how they do it but I'm definitely not mentally strong enough
everyone has their own way. I can teach anyone how to do it this way. I can't teach anyone how to do it like Jimmy Lutz does it.
