So much exceptional content. This one in particular really helped me. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to get this content out. I am just a backyard champion. To get this level of insight is a real treat.
Brilliant. I'm newish to archery and have really improved my form thanks to you. I always wondered why my wrist would break or hand drop at the wrist pivot point on release. I love the way top archers like yourself slide the hand along the face and the fingers stay almost the same after release. After trying this on a stretch band and like you said in another video, welding the chain together when at full draw and pivoting the whole arm and hand as one unit around my anchor point, my hand literally moves back along my face and only a few inches. Before it flew back. I think I was over emphasising on moving through the shot and was pulling too much. This little technique makes it look and feel so much better and from looking in the mirror, my hand doesn't come out from my face like before, but moves around instead. I'm self teaching through watching videos like yours and I've come along way in just a year technique wise. I'm shooting barebow and your content in priceless Jake so keep posting. Much love and respect from Ireland 🙂
Your insight has helped me and many of my students. I really appreciate you and this channel. Thanks so much for your efforts to support better archery.
I’ve already applied what you taught in this video. My release is so much smoother and my accuracy has improved tremendously. Thank you very much. Your videos have helped me to become a better traditional shooter
My teacher used a very strange method to improve my release and do it "as one unit". So what he did was to put a small stick between my forearm and biceps (like in the elbow joint) so i was supposed to keep it there and not drop it during the release😂
Jake I cannot say thank you enough for making all these videos imparting your knowledge and instruction for us coaches and students. I’m an accomplished compound shooter and have embraced the Olympic recurve and am enjoying my journey thus far!! I pretty much use all of your videos to learn and tweak my shooting bc it’s real and tried and tested. I appreciate what you do!! 🙏🏽
Loving the content Jake, You are making a significant difference to aspiring archers. Love the simplicity and authenticity of your channel as opposed to other barebow channels that want to make it a project. I love the way you can break down each component of the shot cycle in a way it is easily understood. Keep doing what your doing, it’s working.
Thanks for the video Jake, the new studio looks great! What you are doing for archery is great! When new to archery, a lot of people don't even know that they need to get follow on coaching, and spend a lot of time flailing around in the dark, not knowing how to progress! I am sure that your videos not only help these people, but let them know that there is he to be had, and that they should be able go call on it! Thank you! 😊
Thanks mate. I don’t know how I have stumbled on it either but about a month go I started having a nice release with a really good and tight follow trough. Maybe just as you have shown without realising it. Love your work by the way.
Very interesting! My hand was flying out, I asked for advice on a FB archery group and I heard all of the same things we've all heard a million times - relaxed string hand, proper back tension, etc. I feel like I tried all of these things and the same issue exists when I watch video of myself. I will give this a shot! Great stuff.
you are a skilled teacher with all your experience, thanks, that really helped me... I often thought to myself how to fix my release, now I know how to do. Greetings from Germany....
Excellent information. I'm fairly newly returning to archery and have been working on various methods to see what works best for my age and body (63 y.o. - big guy with history of shoulder issues). I think this is going to help clean up my release.
I started doing HEMA and Fencing when I was young. Last year I got into Archery. Have 3 recurve bows already. Love it, got a nice set up in my backyard, shoot at least 3 times a week. This release your talking about, looks like it is very, very clean. I will try this.
Tried this out this morning. Wow, what a difference and makes so much sense. Keeps your hand anchored in more stable position for longer. Keeps you "inside the bow" for longer. Thanks Jake!!
Ok, I tried to use the anchor point as a pivot, (target compound, hinge release) but often got low or low left shots. It felt good like I had clean breaking shots, but I underperformed at tonight's tournament. I will try again in practice - maybe I am having trouble getting good back tension and I am getting "stuck" at full draw?
Dear Jake, I'd like to thank you for the time and afford to make those videos! They've been unbelievably helpful! Because of the hints, tips and tricks you've explained i've managed to climb to 1st place in the second class barebow competition in my region. If i get the chance i'll do a shout-out for you and your channel. Sincerely A.D.S.
Wow!!!!! This really seems to work without actually trying to do anything except think about the pivot point. For me it works to think about the pivot point being the fingers on the string. There is one problem that was an immediate concern....breaking too many arrow nocks. I am sure I will find a way of screwing up something else to fix that.
Thanks so much for this. I recently started archery and I tend to pluck when I release. Definitely going to practice this. Also need to keep my shoulder down. As soon as I draw, my shoulder shoots up (the arm I'm holding the bow with).
Thanks for this compact but very very helpful video. That's exactly my problem. And now I will try to use your tips for better results. Thx a lot. Greetings from Germany . I like your channel. 👍🏼
I made a huge jump in my archery journey the day I met a Canadian archer who was shooting at the same level as Jake. He told me about training with the Korean Olympic team. At that time their shooters trained 8 hours a day shooting 56 or 57 pounds. Nobody is immune to repetitive motion injury.
Hey Jake Thank you for your work, your videos are very well made. Even though l don't understand all what you said, when l see you in action it's clear. I think that l'm lucky to know your chanel 👍 Cheers from France 🇨🇵 and sorry for my english !
Awesome video Jake! I have watched alot of your videos and they are usually great but this single tip was by far the best coaching tip I have ever encountered. This cleaned up my release really dramatically as you said and my groups really came together 🤗
Hello from Belgium, the small clubs do not have a structure to teach and correct bad habits and techniques. It is very difficult to correct them later... but your videos are very useful as well as the preparation of the materials. THANKS. All the best.
Wow! What a difference. The arrows came blasting out of the bow. (Well, for me anyway!) I am thinking that it will hold up well even when I am fatigued. This will help me a lot. Thank you Jake.
Would love to see you in a completely disruptive area and to apply your knowledge in thumb realese with asiatic bows. Almost sure that the "linear anchorage" would make the target panic a non existent problem. And I swear you can get a better alignment and back engagement. Plus the fun of the challenge is something I never experienced with any other bow styles. Please come to the darkest side of archery :)
I had problems with technique for my release for a long time, then I had a very good release for a while, and now arthritic hands have me wondering. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Tried it today ! Quite a difference. My groups became much, much tighter. Thank you and thanks for all you do for the sport !
So much exceptional content. This one in particular really helped me. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to get this content out. I am just a backyard champion. To get this level of insight is a real treat.
Thank you! I’m glad to help, I love sharing these things to make a difference in people’s archery.
Just starting with archery, your videos makes all much easier! Thanks for sharing your expert knowledge!
This is some wizard shit, immediately cleaned up my release after months of trying to work on it.
After years of searching and struggling, this makes sense. Thx for the series.

Glad to help! Thanks for the SuperThanks!
You have helped me so much with my form man. Love the form videos
Interesting way of explaining release. I have never been able to accurately explain this. I am going to start explaining ot this way.
I’ve already applied what you taught in this video. My release is so much smoother and my accuracy has improved tremendously. Thank you very much. Your videos have helped me to become a better traditional shooter
This I think is exactly what I needed! I've been trying to clean up my release for years now..... Thank you squire
My teacher used a very strange method to improve my release and do it "as one unit". So what he did was to put a small stick between my forearm and biceps (like in the elbow joint) so i was supposed to keep it there and not drop it during the release😂
Another archery TH-cam online resource mentioned something like this, a device that is outlawed because it is so effective.😅👍
Did it help?
Jake I cannot say thank you enough for making all these videos imparting your knowledge and instruction for us coaches and students.

Thanks jake been following you for a while now always good info just thought I would show a little appreciation keep ,up the good work
Thanks very much!
Loving the content Jake,
You are making a significant difference to aspiring archers.

I love the way you can break down each component of the shot cycle in a way it is easily understood.
Keep doing what your doing, it’s working.
You are one of the last good guys out there, Namaste from India.
Just what I needed. Makes a whole lot of sense. Thanks Jake.
Was just thinking how I could clean up my release, while watching slow motion video. Then this video popped into my feed! Fortuitous! Thank you!
Thanks. I can try that for my next lesson.
Thanks for the video Jake, the new studio looks great!
What you are doing for archery is great! When new to archery, a lot of people don't even know that they need to get follow on coaching, and spend a lot of time flailing around in the dark, not knowing how to progress!

So much gold on this channel!
Your channel is awesome. I’m a noob and all your information is so helpful. Thanks!

I often thought to myself how to fix my release, now I know how to do.
Greetings from Germany....
Thanks!
Thank You!
Your logical scientific explanations are very valuable
That's a really useful tip to think about. I've been working on my release as I know that's what's affecting my consistency.
Jake, your content is outstanding. Thank you. My shooting is getting better by the day.
Excellent information. I'm fairly newly returning to archery and have been working on various methods to see what works best for my age and body (63 y.o. - big guy with history of shoulder issues). I think this is going to help clean up my release.
Man, whatever issue I have with my form, you have a video about it and usually with a very small but very effective fix ...
¡Gracias!
Thank you!
I started doing HEMA and Fencing when I was young. Last year I got into Archery. Have 3 recurve bows already. Love it, got a nice set up in my backyard, shoot at least 3 times a week. This release your talking about, looks like it is very, very clean. I will try this.
I just love acronyms that I do not understand.
Tried this out this morning. Wow, what a difference and makes so much sense. Keeps your hand anchored in more stable position for longer. Keeps you "inside the bow" for longer. Thanks Jake!!
This detail of thinking about the anchor point as the pivot point clears things up for me nicely.
Ok, I tried to use the anchor point as a pivot, (target compound, hinge release) but often got low or low left shots. It felt good like I had clean breaking shots, but I underperformed at tonight's tournament. I will try again in practice - maybe I am having trouble getting good back tension and I am getting "stuck" at full draw?
This is a very interesting new way to approach the release... will try tomorrow morning! Thanks
I tried it and it actually works. My release-follow through now is better and I can see an improvement in my scores downrange
I have been working on this forever, 77 years. Nice explanation.
Thank you Jake! This makes a world of difference!!!
Definitely going to try this, makes total sense.
It definitely works. I can now mentally project the motion and consciously follow it instead of random so-so motion with each release.
Dear Jake, I'd like to thank you for the time and afford to make those videos! They've been unbelievably helpful! Because of the hints, tips and tricks you've explained i've managed to climb to 1st place in the second class barebow competition in my region.

Sincerely A.D.S.
Thanks very much Jake! Exactly what i was looking for.
Looking forward to trying this technique, just starting archery and so far, you are the best out there...Please keep it up
Thanks for that video. Release is the most difficult part of the shot process so this was very helpful.
I'm taking my first steps in archery, the recommendation is very useful, I usually try to touch my ear and I think it works.
Wow!!!!! This really seems to work without actually trying to do anything except think about the pivot point. For me it works to think about the pivot point being the fingers on the string. There is one problem that was an immediate concern....breaking too many arrow nocks. I am sure I will find a way of screwing up something else to fix that.
I feel what you have also said previously that makes the vital difference is pulling the last part using the hand and not anywhere else.
Thank you. I'll be trying this out today.
Hi from Salta Argentina Thank you Jake I will practice this tip today !!
Jake "I'm obviously exaggerating" Kaminski. Great content, thanks!
thank you Jake! and dont worry about the 'state' of your studio! its fascinating to see all the stuff :)
Thanks so much for this. I recently started archery and I tend to pluck when I release. Definitely going to practice this. Also need to keep my shoulder down. As soon as I draw, my shoulder shoots up (the arm I'm holding the bow with).
Another gem of information! Many thanks ❤
Will be trying this tonight thanks Jake👍!
Thanks for this compact but very very helpful video. That's exactly my problem. And now I will try to use your tips for better results. Thx a lot. Greetings from Germany . I like your channel. 👍🏼
I will certainly try this. Great video.
Thank you for all your knowledge shared, it has added much to my efforts to progress, cheers!!
Now you gave me something to work on tonight. Thanks !
Thanks for this video. Trained today to improve my release. Step by step it's getting better
I made a huge jump in my archery journey the day I met a Canadian archer who was shooting at the same level as Jake. He told me about training with the Korean Olympic team. At that time their shooters trained 8 hours a day shooting 56 or 57 pounds. Nobody is immune to repetitive motion injury.
THANKS!! This is a great great tip for getting people off with a consistent release.
Hey Jake

Thanks for another great video!
Just thinking about it helps.
You are the best jake
Hi Jake. Thanks a lot for your videos. They are really helpful for new persons in archery. Please keep doing this. Thanks!
Wow! What a difference. The arrows came blasting out of the bow. (Well, for me anyway!) I am thinking that it will hold up well even when I am fatigued. This will help me a lot. Thank you Jake.
You are amazing. Thanks for everything!
Thank you. I will try it.
it's very clear, thanks

Please come to the darkest side of archery :)
I will try this! Thank you.
Thank you! This was a very interesting way to explain this issue- and very helpful for me to start being aware of. Cheers.
Definitely worked for me. Thanks!!
Thank you so much, you solved my problem 100 percent. I can't thank you enough 💜.
Use to do it that way kinda got away from it. Going to have to start doing it that way again. Darren
Thanks a lot Jake
Been waiting for this. Having problems with my release for so long
I had problems with technique for my release for a long time, then I had a very good release for a while, and now arthritic hands have me wondering. Enjoy it while it lasts.
This helps SOOO much! Thx you!
Keep up the great work! You’re content is awesome.
Thank you so much
Great video, something to reflect on! Cheers Jake
I can see the difference. I’m trying it today
Thanks for sharing your knowledge 💛
Excellent ! Thank you !
Thanks Jake I will try it.
I cannot copy and paste the numbers. So what do you want me to do to reply
Brilliant!
Joking aside - a subtle, but impressive insight. Timely too - soon it will be warm enough to get outside and do my backyard Agincourt thing again 🙂
have to try that, one thing i noticed on my release
