Been practising this with the rubber band. Went to the range today, and really felt the difference. One of the experienced chaps even noticed my release was improving. So thanks, NUSensei. I’ll keep working on it.

I've just started archery and the release is something I've really struggled with. You've actually explained the release in exactly the way I needed, thank you! Looking forwards to putting it into practice.
Really helpful video, thanks. Thinking too much is my problem with the release. Letting things happen instead of overthinking is more difficult than it seems and thats also a good life lesson. :)
I had a total wrist fusion done on my right wrist and also have a metal plate about 15.3 cm long screwed to the bone so my wrist is permanently straight when I release my arrows 😉😁🏹🏹
You can do a clean release if you don't wrap your entire finger around the string. Pull the string just with the tip of your fingers. Pulling the string with the inner part of your knuckles that's just wasting time and effort for nothing. It just gets in the way. If you use the tip of your fingers it's just as secure as using half your fingers. Your releasw will be cleaner and easier too

I’ve only been shooting for six months - and ‘letting go by not letting go’ is doing my head in. I’ve been practising with a rubber band - I’ll get there. Still, it’s amazing how high my wife’s iPhone bounces when it misses the pillow.
Got my first recurve bow 11 days ago. Im able to hit a circle on a hay stack from 50 feet almost every single time. Many thanks to you sir and this channel
I did this drill about a month ago with my coach! While we didn't use a phone, we used my finger tab without the finger strap. That way, it forces you to squeeze the spacer and have a proper release. The tab will still fall if you force the release. Doesn't risk the phone but is just as frustrating when the finger tab falls out of your fingers! XD
Almost always THE biggest challenge for me is a clean release! Thanks for this video. Questions: should back shoulder muscle expansion curve the hook around and behind one’s face anchor point? Does such expansion vary the draw length? How does one avoid the natural left drift of the bow arm with balanced expansion (push-pull of bow and string)? Thanks for your great work. Mike, Ahuimanu, Hawaii.
The most crucial step in archery; the release. Even after years of practice, we sometimes do it all wrong. At least, personally it still happens to me. I admit that the phone thing (or a similar wooden object for example) is a good idea. Happy new year to all !
No. This only works with a phone. An expensive one is mandatory. No cover, no protective film, and on a hard gravel ground. A happy new year to you too!!!!
After years people get the name archer. After more years, the people with the name archer are born and have nothing to do with archery. They actually like cycling instead.
Hi Nu, I wanted to thank you for your really helpful videos. You brought me into archery this year and you helped me a lot with your explinations!! I'm really enjoing your videos. Thank you and keep up the excellent work! I wish you all a happy 2020!
I'm not an olympic shooter, but I really like that phone explanation. Things like that really do a lot for people. One small thing can make all the difference. For me, shooting "horsebows" it was keeping the bow arm straight that really made a breakthrough. Have a happy new year

what about the crowbar effect ? target lower than the force line and string pinch angel provide directional force .and how do you get around newtons 1st law , if the string travels at transverse angel to the bow the fingers will be pushed in the opposite direction during the angular motion , then the 3rd law ,your hands ,wrist or fingers should move at same speed as the string
I am 41, haven't decided yet if lefty or right... is it a problem? My releases are different, I am used to right... but recently I began to use left...
I am new to Archery mkeeey xD just saying, because I just watched a video, where the pro said, don´t leave your elbow on your back so high up, it will cost accuracy and can give tension. Keep it straight, smooth and relaxed. Sure this dude here konws more then me haha. I just wonder, whats his reason to hold his back-elbow up so much? Myself I dont do it either.
Thanks for that Video. Found that on a Website about releasing and it really helped me. Shooting for less than a year and the release was the one thing i couldnt do properly somehow. Even though i asked different people and watched multiple videos about releasing. So thanks man 👍
doesn't make any sense, you just need to move away your fingers without any extra pivot motion of the wrist or the hand while releasing, you don't need to keep your fingers in the same 90 degree position after releasing (mediterranean draw as seen in the video), is like shooting a pistol without ammo, while pressing the trigger you don't need to move the pistol upfront, you just need to press the trigger without moving the gun, same happens when release
Cheers new sensei, i remember focusing on back tension to aid release when learning compound. Even though the release aid is in use the same concept applies.
I was always told the string is supposed to go through your fingers on your release I know you cannot really go through your fingers but it looks like that
You explain better than most but in the instructional videos I wish you would focus more on the correct way and how to achieve that vs how not to do it.
So... do not put the string on your fingertips... That explains some things to me :D. I always balance the string on my fingertips, wondering how do I do this thing where all fingers let go at the same time without really pulling with just one finger or having one beaten to hell. Yet one more step to cleaner release was learned today.
If we don't want to 'let go' of the string, let's stop calling it a release. While we're on, let's stop refering to the part of the bow that we don't want to have hold of, a grip. And anchor; it's a dynamic process; anchor suggests, stop, the end, when it is anything but. There's a lot in a word and our subconscious is a canny thing; best not to feed it with words and terms that we don't really mean...
It's called a release because it is a release. You are letting go of the tension in your fingers to let go of the string, ergo release. The grip is a grip, you grip it to hold onto the thing you're trying to hold onto. Sure a lot of people use slings in olympic recurve and let the tension keep it mostly steady, but typically you are gripping the bow. Whether it's super tight or loose, it's still a grip. Otherwise you aren't going to be able to raise that bow to pull the string back in the first place. The anchor, or the anchor point is also that. You do typically want to stop your draw at your anchor point, so it is the end of part of the process, where you stop. It provides stability and familiarity, it's so your aim doesn't drift away from you much like a boat that isn't anchored, if you will. Therefore we call it an anchor point. Seems like your problem with the terminology has more to do with your inability to apply it to archery. Maybe understanding why they are used will help, idk.
@@skyblue2708 you release the kinetic energi stored , the release is the same as execution ,but its a specific part of the technique that people call a shoot cycle or form.the term release refers to something specific in the KSL . you are not supposed to grip the bow ,, the grip is used to a fault as a pivot point and a grip as many archers do , if you call it a torque vector or pressure point applicator...and then ask an archer how his grip is.You do not stop your draw at the anchor point, and not the reason for the name . its a transition point from external to internal movement , a point for the angular motion to pivot around , an anchor wont hold a boat in place rather than let it float around in a circle deepening on the rope
Thanks Nu! I've watched your channel a few times and this is by far the most helpful Video for me so far. I've Made an elastic Band and after using it then going back to the range my shots are better every time.! Still need a little more improvement but things have gone so much better now, I will keep practising.
Thanks for pointing out about using the first joint in your fingers rather than using the finger pads itself. My coach was trying to get me to shoot from the finger pads which I found rather difficult and felt that the string would slip off at any moment when I come to full draw (I usually shoot from the first finger joint anyway) Needless to say that the back tension is a working progress at the moment
This is the best explanation of a clean release. I’ve been focusing so hard on my release because I can see how it’s effecting my shots and this made it so clear!
U pull ur bow like it's the easiest thing to do! But when I try to pull my 30 pound bow it feels rlly hard. I'm a beginner (teen) I think I should have gotten a lighter bow,idk. I'm trying to correct my form, and I think ur videos have helped but my drawing arm hurts a lot.
John Wick You’ve probably heard it to death, but you should start with a lighter bow as a beginner(like 20lbs tops). As a beginner, the most important thing is to learn good form which is difficult to do so with heavier poundage bows. Once your form is good enough, heavier bows become easier to draw as a side-effect of learning how to properly leverage your strength.
yes exactly as you said, make your fingers go limp. make it instant, like a laser pointer- it's either on or off. the string will pull itself through your fingers before you even know it happened, and your followthrough will take care of itself. if you do it right it will feel so gentle it's like a feather brushing against your fingers look at this video th-cam.com/video/Vea873hZ82A/w-d-xo.html and you will see that the fingers very gently get pulled open and then close by themselves in a hundredth of a second. if your fingers open afterwards it's the inertia of the fingers keeping them there while your back muscles pull your hand back try holding your fingers around the thumb of your other hand, but keep them relaxed- then yank your thumb through the fingers, it will pop them open but as long as you're relaxed you will hardly feel a thing.
It all makes sense, but how does using a clicker factor in to the equation? Seems like you would need to consciously release/open the hand when the clicker goes off to make the process of using one effective. Would be nice too see a video with that piece included.
In short, training with the clicker means programming yourself to automatically relax when the click goes. It is no longer a conscious decision to release.
I am new to archery, but I have to ask, why do people let the bow go "tilt" after firing? It looks ridiculous to me, but I am sure there has to be a purpose that I am missing.
Ok me tip I discovered for getting a good hand, wrist, and elbow alignment is to use a training bungie or the assembled bow and go through the process while looking at a mirror. Some people learn better if they see their form problems with their own eyes. This applies to many skills and sports where having good form is necessary.
I'm having a problem now with clean release, many years after I started doing archery. That reason is: finger savers. I started getting neurological damage where my fingertips remained numb for 24-48 hours after an archery session, even when I was using finger protecting glove (I shoot a 48 lb recurve bow). So I put finger savers on the string in addition to glove, and my releases were OK, but were pretty sloppy as sometimes finger savers would catch onto the glove a bit. So I took the glove off and this is where the issue started. I ended up plucking the string, because it subjectively felt like the string will roll away from me unless I grip it very tight. The only way I was able to avoid this is using only 2 fingers to draw and release, which still puts a considerable amount of pressure on my fingers, a bit more than I'm comfortable with. My dilemma now is to learn to release cleanly with 3 finger draw and with finger savers. I don't think I'll risk my phone though. Will probably try a less expensive object, just in case. Personally, I had immense success with caliper releases, even though they're meant for compound bows and I wonder if I should just stick to that method.
This is so new to me, I have never seen such a solution for a clean release! I think I'm living on another planet! Unbelievable and many thanks! All the best and best wishes from Austria! Martin
Awesome comment. I'm really practicing my release by letting it go, just like when i'm serving in tennis. Your explanation is superb and up to the point. THANKS for evrything. (M.G., Qc., Canada)
If you don't want to break your phone with this drill, just hold your finger tab, squeeze the spacer as normal, but take off the strap.
so what about back hand tension? do we want it now ?
maybe you can answer. Do you apply more pressure with the index finger or second finger?

This comment didn't age well..
Hi. have you videos subtitled in French ??. Thanks
do you squeeze the spacers during the release and follow trough but if your not gonna relax the fingers the string wont move .
The best way to be a great archer is by studying and practicing 'Dhanurveda'

I already had it planned out. Last night's form check was the unplanned one. It's why it came up.
@@NUSensei Funny coincidence though.
I was always told take a breath draw your bow and slowly exhale and pretend your blowing your fingers off the string lol

You can just hold literally anything other than your phone.
The bow string pushes the fingers out of the way. Aha moment.
You explain better than most but in the instructional videos I wish you would focus more on the correct way and how to achieve that vs how not to do it.
Where did you get your practise sling from?
Why are Olympic archers always frowning
Does your release also cause the arrow to fish tail or even curve instead of remaining straight to the target
Nailed it beautifully Nu. Much appreciated.

Let the string throw your fingers away, go limp?
