So, i really enjoy the benefit of your videos, but what i am missing is some shooting/action videos, i dont know how you like Dudley, but he does a really helpful thing where he makes a video about 1 specific thing to train on for that week, for example his posture video, some informative lecture about posture like your current videos, some shooting, maybe go through some off the effects when you fail to keep posture, but with examples on the target. But keep it up you go deep into archery technique few other do.
Thank you for all your videos.🥰 I've been a level C coach for four years now, and every time I can say "Hey, I do that with my archers, too" while watching your content it gives me a small burst of joy and self-affirmation. 😊 Looks like I"m doing a number of things right, phew 😅. Even though my own level of archery has never been that advanced (target panic hit me very early on), I enjoy spreading the love for archery and helping other archers improve. Keep up the good work, love your channel❤
Last year I picked up an old recurve. Hadn't shot a bow since the early 2000s. Its awesome how much detailed and specific info is available on the web now. I greatly appreciate the effort it takes to put something like this together. - I'm sure it will be worth it to you in the future, as it may make your name synonymous with your hobby and passion. Back when I was 9 or 10 there were only forum posts, grainy old videos, and complicated looking math charts posted on ghetto old HTML/blue text archery sites. I was just a kid trying to learn. I needed a string for this old #30 fiberglass 64" Pearson recurve I bought from a neighbor for $5. It came with broken kite string. The bow shop just slapped a compound bow string on that was about 2" too short, and left me with a brace height past my elbow. I knew it wasn't right, as the string didn't come anywhere near the groves at the tips. $10 string on a $5 bow was getting expensive for a 9 or 10 year old. I bought two red fiberglass "youth arrows" at the same time, 'cause i didn't know anything about arrow spine. And apparently that shop didn't either. I ended up with some additional ancient wooden arrows and a shorter 50-some inch #30 longbow of similar fiberglass construction from my grandparents attic. I learned about arrow spine from those two sets, not how to shop for arrows by spine, just what effect it has on the arrow. The red ones being too weak and flying like a wet noodle, hitting nock left or sometimes right depending on distance. The other being dry old wood and too stiff. The wooden ones were painted general lee orange. And they left the bow at approximately 3-degree angle to the left and continued on in that direction indefinitely, while fishtailing so hard you could hear the fletchings alternating sound through the air. I wanted a "good" recurve having an arrow rest cutout window, cause I assumed that would fix the arrow trajectory. But i never got one. Ended up moving on to other things. Later in high-school I did end up with a #60 compound bow for a short time after bartering for it over some work I did. But wasn't really any good with it. Primarily 'cause it wasn't set up for me, the let-off happened approximately 1/4 inch past my normal draw length. I didn't know how to adjust it except that it needed a bow press which i didn't want to splurge on. Sold it for a couple hundred bucks and moved on. Now I'm back, but archery is about 9-hobbies down the list and will likely never be any kind of priority for me again. The reason for this long winded tale is that with this good info available, it will be far easier for interested kids or adults to pursue archery to a high level. Instead or hitting obstacles such as lack of info, bad advice and incorrect assistance from local shops, wasted money and wasted months or even years fighting with junk, incorrect equipment, poorly setup bows, and improper shooting technique.
I am a "trad" guy. If you can't learn from this tutorial as a traditional hunter or shooter you won't get better. Great stuff! It has helped my static release turn into a cleaner release after 1 practice session. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the amazing collection of tutorials you have shared, I am new to Archery & the proud owner of a beautiful Bear Grizzly of which I hope to spend many hours attempting to put your advice into practice.
Very informative. Great coach. Love your form. Doing all the stretching and exercises that your wife taught us and it has made a big difference in my bow arm and release control. Many thanks for you taking us along on your journey.
Really enjoying these form and tuning videos. Best explanation of release and follow through I've come across with good analogies. After watching each video I always try to put into practice what you've explained. It's been helping a lot with my progress in learning both Olympic and barebow styles.
Thanks Jake . mission for tommorow !. iam gona pratice without the finger sling ,gona squeze that finger spacer so the tab doesent fall off ... it helps so much watching your videos and go out the next day and try and focus on what you explained . and then acutally directly seening a diffrence and improve in my shooting ! THANKS DUDE !!!!
Great video, Jake. Thank you so much for establishing this channel. It is a very good idea to ask yourself where you are at the end of your shot. And it is a good method for a coach to ask his trainee what he thinks where he is when his shot ends!
Getting into competitive archery this past year has been incredibly confusing trying to translate total archery into somewhat of a application of bio mechanics into my personal form. These videos have helped immensely in bringing the NTS form into an understandable process. I like that you reiterate what you are trying to translate in a few different ways before leaving the topic, as it helps varying minds grasp what is going on. My old way of researching was trying to watch KSL coached athletes shoot in old competitions in youtube videos. What you're doing is really cool, and I hope it helps unravel the arms race of secrecy when it comes to different nations form processes, as it alienates newcomers to the sport. Also, don't feel guilty that you haven't shot in a while, few have committed the same level of discipline into something with an equal level of success, and even fewer know the mental toll that comes with that. Not stepping away at some point for any time would be the weird action. As someone new-ish to the sport after having competed at an elite level in another, this stuff is seriously appreciated, thanks man.
Likewise. I'm literally the only guy that shoots barebow at my club. So ALL the coaching is aimed at the recurve shooters. Video resources like this are important to me.
Another great video, Thank you. As a general thing, and I may have missed this in your videos, when I first tried to come around to full draw using this method I was hampered by what I expect my draw length to be with regards to my old clicker position. Once that penny had dropped I relaxed and stretched into proper alignment my draw lengthened by about half an inch or so. And now the arrow really doesn't have much choice as to where to go. Unless I do it wrong. But the wrong feeling is very obvious now and it wasn't before.
I'd be interested in any comments you might have on the mental aspects of shooting; can you say something about 1. what your mind is doing throughout a shot; and, 2. how you learnt to deal with high-pressure situations mentally?
Release and follow through is really the one big challenge for archers using fingers. Everything else you can learn formulas and processes to conquer. Release and follow through is completely mental, and mentally is how you have to conquer it. It also requires consistency when you get from repetition in practice. If you have a process that allows some rythm in your shooting you can control the release and follow through better. If you are holding and varying how much you pull as your pin moves around on the target, your pull won't be synchronized with the clicker and the clicker may go when you are holding weight properly or when you are not holding properly, and if you aren't maintaining back tension properly when the clicker goes, you won't have a good release. If you have the time you are better off letting down the arrow and starting again rather than forcing the clicker to go and shooting a bad shot.
Thank you, another very helpful video!! Just a comment on barebow shooters and back tension. Most barebow shooters have very high anchor positions which interfere with development of full back tension and also inhibit shoulder motion after release. That is one reason many of them have very static releases. If you are looking for additional topics I would like a more detailed explanation of correct bow shoulder position. It seems some archers have an open wedge position. Others seem to rotate the shoulder, get more behind the bow and close up the wedge. I am struggling to achieve consistency. Thanks.
James Kelson , Thank you for your insight on barebow archery. I never considered the effect of the high anchor on back tension. I noticed most barebow shooters were creeping at full draw which I attributed to the lack of a clicker. If the barebow shooters could solve the creeping problem, imagine the improvement in scores that would occur! Jake start shootings barebow! Perhaps there is a carry over from KSL technique.
It keeps the string hand solid and prevents many other faults that can result from too little tension. A misconception is that you should have no tension in your draw arm. You do need some for sure.
Great video Jake. Little clarification required... so are we forcing the wrist to drop naturally or forcing it down on purpose after the shot? I thought bow was supposed to drop naturally. My wrist stays straight naturally after the shot and do not drop down but the bow does jump out and swing on the sling. Please advise.
Jake, love your videos and have learned a lot from you. I was wondering if at some point you could talk about the typical sight picture when aiming. I am having consistency issues and fellow archers are either viewing their string right next to the aperture or parallel to the frame of the riser etc. That aspect is really not clear. Thanks
String alignment is something that varies from archer to archer. I would try to find a method that works best for you and drill that. Also keep in mind that your anchor can have a huge effect on this. Is the string touching your nose? Is it touching the same part of you nose every time? Hope this helps until Jake puts out a video
I'm still having some problems with the set-up phase. Especially the part of how to rotate the bowarm into proper alignment during the twisting of the core. In the Q&A video you mention you are 'rotating down and into the shot'. This seems like a good movement over muscle principle. But when I try to copy this, it also feels like my bowshoulder rotates inwards. Can you show/explain some more on this subject?
Sorry if I missed it in previous explanations- a bow works perfecly if pulled back strictly in the direction of its axial plane - how do you achive that as a result of circular draw and extention?
Thanks for the tutorials! I'd like to hold my hand at my chin, not on my face. Do you have instructions for the different ways to place your hand. Thnks!
Waiting for this video as I believe this part of the shot cycle is the weakest for me. Great help Jake!!!. Thanks. Just one question. Do you recommend a formaster for training release or is it better to train as usual??
Hi been watching your entire series and must say that it has helped me alot , and want to give you a big thank you for doing this series. Well so i kinda have a question that might sound weird but ill ask it anyways. Been shooting with my bowarm straight like in the videos but my shoulder keep tensing up or contracting giving a really sore shoulder at the end of practice and kinda wide spread groups and struggling getting through my clicker. Anyways last practice i decided to try shooting with a slightly bent arm (used to do that when shooting compound many years ago) and to my shock i was more relaxed and got better release, the bow roll came totally naturally and for some reason i could move back the clicker almost an inch and had no problem pulling through it, it all felt really relaxed and light. My groupings aswell was so tight my other club mates was like stunned how tight my groups got. Anyways is there something wrong with shooting with a bent arm like could it cause injuries or is it worse in some way cause everyone keeps saying straight arm so ive been forcing it there ? And how come my draw length was much longer with a bent arm ? can the bone alignment actually be stronger for some people wth a bent arm ? Well thanks for your time and i appreciate this channel so much !
I enjoyed this series, everything was clearly described and demonstrated. It was a great help, despite me being a barebow archer. Thanks. Now, it wouldn't be fair to ask you to shed some light on the dark art of barebow tuning, would it?
@@mortenjacobsen5673 If you're at a 2" crawl your draw length is considerably shorter. As for the clicker, ideally you shouldn't need one but everyone's using them for a reason (except barebow archers of course)
I regret that I can not put 1000 likes of this video. thank you so much Jake. But will there be a section on the channel where you watch your subscriber’s shot and say what’s wrong and what to do to fix a particular problem?
Yes, I already have a couple of Patreon Supporters that have sent videos to me to check over. I haven't had anyone volunteer from that program to go public with their video response.
My question is are different bows better then others as bow stock I have a southwest archery bow recurve 66" 24 pound draw I have video on my form but I feel I like don't release right
Great video. Jake, why doesn’t the simultaneous downward bow wrist motion on the release affect the shot and resulting in the arrow hitting low on the target? Thanks.
Dev Lish th-cam.com/video/ybvB2FFnNm0/w-d-xo.html if you watch a release in slow motion you’ll see the arrow is long gone by the time the bow starts to drop.
Morten Jacobsen you misunderstand. The motion happens AFTER the arrow leaves the bow, otherwise you disturb its flight path obviously. The motion happens as the release hand starts to move backwards, which also happens as the arrow is leaving and pretty much after it’s gone. Again I ask “have you tried it?”
Absolutely love your content and it has been a huge help to me. But my wife shoots left hand and the consistent problem is the arrows always go right of the target even if she aim further left. One problem is that she isn't capable of setting her elbow completely lined up behind her. Could the arrows going right be release, the elbow or maybe both? Thanks in advance for any advice. We don't have a coach so we just try out best on our own. We love archery and it certainly clears the mind.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Went to practice tonight and you were right on the money! She was aiming with her right eye and closing it really helped. We have tried to figure this out for months and with your advise things are back on track Thank you!
Hi Jake, thanks for a great series of videos. Question; you describe the bow hand follow through as pointing down or throwing a small pebble down. Is this a conscious action or is the wrist relaxed and simply allowed to fall down? I’ve always struggled with this and would really appreciate your clarification.
Is the bow hand downward dip while release the result of consciously pushing down/forward while drawing back? Or is an unconscious move like the draw arm follow through?
I'd say... try to see or feel whether the string cut through your fingers or not and feel if the elbow tip move in angular curve while the scapula set in to final position (and tension) or not. If everything feels right, I won't be worried about fingers or hand much.
My coach tells me after release I should keep my bow arm same height as before the release it's impossible for me to stay still my bow arms always drops down cause I don't put muscle tensions on my arms, and if I put muscle tension on my arms my shots got worse. What can you suggest to me to improve keep my bow arm still?
@@heisem1912 I am talking about after release on how to stay still my bow arms I even watch pro some of them drops their bow arms after release some of them stay still.
Hi Jake! Great video, as usual ! Could I have your opinion about how your method compares to the Korean method. Even if Brady is the best in the world, the Koreans are still shooting beasts ;-) Do you find similarities in their approach / technique / form with the KSL / Best method ? Thanks.
An important part of the release which is not focused on enough is what obscenities you say after. "Shit", "Damn", "Crap", "Son of a Bitch" and "Bugger" (if you are English), are all acceptable after release. "Gosh Darn It" is only acceptable at Senior Games sanctioned matches.
Help ME!!!!! I have never make a good release. I tried but still the same. Every TIME I release my fingers felt like it were pushed strongly by the string and launch out of the way of the string
I know it’s a highly personal thing but Do you take Bradies shot mentality of ‘reach for the subconscious to take control’ (not sure if it’s a coach L method) and if so, when do you know *when* you know your skill level is adequate enough that you should be doing this? Or is it simply ‘if you hit the X, you’re doing it right regardless of form’? I’ve along the lines of ‘the more you think, the worse you are’ in many cases
Hey Jake! Here's my suggestion for the next topic - in sight pin video you mentioned that it is best to focus less on aiming and let the subconcious do that for you, more or less, and concentrate on your form more - holding left arm steady, maitaining back tension, using correct movement when expanding, not plucking the string, etc. At the moment this is my pain of the day so I'd like to hear more on HOW do you move your focus from aiming to execution and not let the sight pin walk way out of where you want to hit.
Sure thing. In the meantime, be sure you check out my stabilizer setup video. I rely a lot on how my bow holds to execute with confidence. th-cam.com/video/IYUx-n_1o0U/w-d-xo.html
So what do you want to hear more about? Let me know so I can cover it in another video!
How about string picture and how it does affect aiming?. It is kind of underestimated aspect in aiming...
Why arrow fly with bent to left and right (not up and down)? What / where is wrong?
How to over come?
Please make your video shot.....less then 10 min
This is semple for what i mean

Back when I was 9 or 10 there were only forum posts, grainy old videos, and complicated looking math charts posted on ghetto old HTML/blue text archery sites. I was just a kid trying to learn. I needed a string for this old #30 fiberglass 64" Pearson recurve I bought from a neighbor for $5. It came with broken kite string. The bow shop just slapped a compound bow string on that was about 2" too short, and left me with a brace height past my elbow. I knew it wasn't right, as the string didn't come anywhere near the groves at the tips. $10 string on a $5 bow was getting expensive for a 9 or 10 year old. I bought two red fiberglass "youth arrows" at the same time, 'cause i didn't know anything about arrow spine. And apparently that shop didn't either.

The red ones being too weak and flying like a wet noodle, hitting nock left or sometimes right depending on distance. The other being dry old wood and too stiff. The wooden ones were painted general lee orange. And they left the bow at approximately 3-degree angle to the left and continued on in that direction indefinitely, while fishtailing so hard you could hear the fletchings alternating sound through the air. I wanted a "good" recurve having an arrow rest cutout window, cause I assumed that would fix the arrow trajectory. But i never got one. Ended up moving on to other things. Later in high-school I did end up with a #60 compound bow for a short time after bartering for it over some work I did. But wasn't really any good with it. Primarily 'cause it wasn't set up for me, the let-off happened approximately 1/4 inch past my normal draw length. I didn't know how to adjust it except that it needed a bow press which i didn't want to splurge on. Sold it for a couple hundred bucks and moved on.
Now I'm back, but archery is about 9-hobbies down the list and will likely never be any kind of priority for me again.

Pretty similar to what we do in Chinese archery, however we have thumbring release which is a way easier than 3-fingers draw.
Hi Jake, can you please tell me why we should put pressure on the finger separator on ginger ran, does this not put tension in the draw arm
It keeps the string hand solid and prevents many other faults that can result from too little tension. A misconception is that you should have no tension in your draw arm. You do need some for sure.

Thanks alot sir
My question is are different bows better then others as bow stock I have a southwest archery bow recurve 66" 24 pound draw I have video on my form but I feel I like don't release right
Great thank you
No problem
Great video.
Jake, why doesn’t the simultaneous downward bow wrist motion on the release affect the shot and resulting in the arrow hitting low on the target? Thanks.
Because it happens after the bow jumps out of your hand. It is not when the arrow is being delivered.
Dev Lish th-cam.com/video/ybvB2FFnNm0/w-d-xo.html if you watch a release in slow motion you’ll see the arrow is long gone by the time the bow starts to drop.
RiccoB What an enlightening video. Thanks for sharing!
I’ll lead the debate with “have you tried it”
Morten Jacobsen you misunderstand. The motion happens AFTER the arrow leaves the bow, otherwise you disturb its flight path obviously. The motion happens as the release hand starts to move backwards, which also happens as the arrow is leaving and pretty much after it’s gone. Again I ask “have you tried it?”
Is there anything to do with wrist in follow through.. ?
As an Olympic style barebow archer, I would be grateful for any info you can share re anchor routine.
Absolutely love your content and it has been a huge help to me. But my wife shoots left hand and the consistent problem is the arrows always go right of the target even if she aim further left. One problem is that she isn't capable of setting her elbow completely lined up behind her. Could the arrows going right be release, the elbow or maybe both?
Thanks in advance for any advice. We don't have a coach so we just try out best on our own. We love archery and it certainly clears the mind.
Sounds to me like she is using her right eye to aim. have her close her right eye or squint it and see what happens.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Went to practice tonight and you were right on the money! She was aiming with her right eye and closing it really helped. We have tried to figure this out for months and with your advise things are back on track
Thank you!
Hi Jake, thanks for a great series of videos. Question; you describe the bow hand follow through as pointing down or throwing a small pebble down. Is this a conscious action or is the wrist relaxed and simply allowed to fall down? I’ve always struggled with this and would really appreciate your clarification.
It’s a conscience thing. Not a relaxed thing.
Is the bow hand downward dip while release the result of consciously pushing down/forward while drawing back? Or is an unconscious move like the draw arm follow through?
Big fan brooooo
For some reason when i release the bow goes to my left instead of to my right, anyone know why?
ive seen brady open up his fingers quite a lot. do you know why he might do it?
Damn you are good.
How do I know I have a good release if i have a low Drawweight ( around 25 on the fingers) my drawhand moves not back on release.
I'd say... try to see or feel whether the string cut through your fingers or not and feel if the elbow tip move in angular curve while the scapula set in to final position (and tension) or not. If everything feels right, I won't be worried about fingers or hand much.
My coach tells me after release I should keep my bow arm same height as before the release it's impossible for me to stay still my bow arms always drops down cause I don't put muscle tensions on my arms, and if I put muscle tension on my arms my shots got worse. What can you suggest to me to improve keep my bow arm still?
Have a look to your drawing arm and elbow. Probably it is too high.
@@heisem1912 I am talking about after release on how to stay still my bow arms I even watch pro some of them drops their bow arms after release some of them stay still.
@@luverneanimatics8769, yes, I know. As Jake said: action and reaction. One follows by the other.
Hi Jake! Great video, as usual ! Could I have your opinion about how your method compares to the Korean method. Even if Brady is the best in the world, the Koreans are still shooting beasts ;-) Do you find similarities in their approach / technique / form with the KSL / Best method ? Thanks.
be as lazy as possible have bad posture man i was born to be archer lol great video
An important part of the release which is not focused on enough is what obscenities you say after.
"Shit", "Damn", "Crap", "Son of a Bitch" and "Bugger" (if you are English), are all acceptable after release.
"Gosh Darn It" is only acceptable at Senior Games sanctioned matches.
Help ME!!!!! I have never make a good release. I tried but still the same. Every TIME I release my fingers felt like it were pushed strongly by the string and launch out of the way of the string
Particularly about not staying still after release
Fair point but knuckle balls in soccer are done by pausing immediately at point of contact.
Please teach/talk while video release and follow trough are play. And give explanation on that video.
Please...
Thanks for the feedback.
Same goes to any other lesson.
1000x Thank in adv
Can i buy 2nd hand bow..
Limb 70 40 lbs
I don't have any used equipment at this time.
👍👍👍👍👍
I know it’s a highly personal thing but Do you take Bradies shot mentality of ‘reach for the subconscious to take control’ (not sure if it’s a coach L method) and if so, when do you know *when* you know your skill level is adequate enough that you should be doing this? Or is it simply ‘if you hit the X, you’re doing it right regardless of form’? I’ve along the lines of ‘the more you think, the worse you are’ in many cases
Yes, the more you think the harder it is to focus on what matters, rather then the pressure.

Hey Jake! Here's my suggestion for the next topic - in sight pin video you mentioned that it is best to focus less on aiming and let the subconcious do that for you, more or less, and concentrate on your form more - holding left arm steady, maitaining back tension, using correct movement when expanding, not plucking the string, etc. At the moment this is my pain of the day so I'd like to hear more on HOW do you move your focus from aiming to execution and not let the sight pin walk way out of where you want to hit.
Sure thing. In the meantime, be sure you check out my stabilizer setup video. I rely a lot on how my bow holds to execute with confidence.
