Thank you !! I've been bowhunting for 25+ years and you just showed me why my shoulder hurts after shooting. I've been drawing wrong the whole time. Gonna take some practice to break the habit. You're never too old to learn something new.

Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine kzfaq.infoUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

I’ve owned a compound bow for a while but, because I wasn’t shown the correct way of drawing this type of bow, I ended up injuring my shoulder and distal biceps tendon. After I healed up, I tried your method and what a huge difference. Thank you!

@kingbronco6398 Жыл бұрын

As someone with major shoulder issues and has been working out a long time, I find it to be the exact opposite. When you wing your elbow up high, you are forcing your shoulder into an impingement. Mine literally comes forward out of alignment with Motion 1. With motion 2, my shoulder is pulled in tight, protected, and I get to use more of my back muscles, and the large lat muscle. If you were working out, you would be much stronger using your lat in a row, that isolating and winging your elbow up and pulling with your rear delt (a very small muscle). A general rule of thumb, you're stronger closer to your body, when your limbs get away from your body, you get weaker.

@brewers3064 Жыл бұрын

I agree. I feel like winging your elbow up puts a lot of strain on the shoulder joint. It almost feels unnatural.

@jonathanhult6184 Жыл бұрын

The problem that you experience probably comes from overdoing the movement in motion 1, perfect form takes perfect practice. I had to stand and look at myself in the mirror to realize how overemphasized and skewed I did it and then practiced with first the bow to get a sense of what the bow allows me to do in terms of movement and when I felt it started to drift, used my resistance band just to get that same feeling as the correct movement that felt natural and good with the bow. I feel nothing in my shoulder now and you definitely, depending on the day, start feeling a surge in your shoulder if you pull with your lats after more than 30-60 arrows. Get that number up to 200-300+ and the movement he's showing makes or breaks the next day in terms of how your shoulder is feeling and reduces injury. Pulling with your lats makes for more strength but you're not in the height of good lat activation because you're not pulling down towards your back like a pull up, lats are designed to pull in towards your body in the front or pulling your body up, pulling from across the body makes the rear delt work way more than you believe it does. You're hinging the movement on a joint, ligaments and the traps, rear delt (that is notorious for breaking as you say). Had there not been rotator cuffs involved and extreme joint placements, pulling backwards like a row at rib height, I'd be 100% in your corner. If you don't believe me, broscience, random dude on the internet, anecdotal etc. Look at any archery competition video, they all do the motion he is demonstrating and its not because every coach and every archer is absolutely oblivious, they know something we probably don't.

But I’m don’t want rotator cuff issues, so thanks so much! Moving up from the Gold Tip 400 twizzlers to some Victory’s (300’s) I first heard you recommend, so thanks again, friend! God bless!

You know , I've been hunting for 35+ years with the compound bow, I've had a bunch of them, expensive ones mostly and I've killed near 100 deer possibly more and believe it or not I pull the damn thing back wrong. I don't know what started it, I csnt remember doing it sny other way. It sucks but I think I have a bit of roter cuff damage from this but all I can do is try to fix it and I thank you for showing me the proper way . I knew something wasn't right but was to hard headed to seek someone out I figured I'd find a video and well I did. Thanks again.

I'm learning, and honestly my coach said a 40lb bow is not for a learner. But that's not what happened to me, before i knew how to pull back a bow, and i still don't quite no, i have a coach but we're not starting until August, but i showed her my right pull arm, got bruises on the inside, i said "have you seen this before?" She put her head down and "yes" you blew blood vessels" why because i was using my arm not my shoulder or back, and 2 a bigginer using a 40lb is silly if you want to learn form, i kinda debate that however, I'm pretty strong for a 52 year old, but as he explained you don't use muscles you would, even in a gym, it would for them be the wrong form. Tbh August is a long way, a 40lb bow for me is very easy to draw back, even incorrectly. But i learned a huge lesson, and paid physically for my mistakes. Archery was nothing i expected it was, hence taking lessons from a district winner in Archery. And for you, good luck getting that form right, we can't hunt in uk, but best not to damage yourself by doing so, because hunting is a bit different from target shooting, I.e targets don't normally run away lol. Good luck sir.

Well Sean, after 45+ years almost 59 now. I too either came up with a new bad habit or I'm just getting old. My shoulder was fine 5 months ago after archery season, but all of a sudden my shoulder now hurts. I watched AJA video and thought ? there's no way i could be doing it wrong. Well guess what, I have either been doing it wrong for all these years or i just started this bad habit. With all that said, we are never to old to learn and listen. I also just attached a knock point on a dumb bell which i attached my release. Bent over with good form and drew it like i was drawing my bow as AJ explained. It worked perfect.Thank you Average Jack for getting me back on track.

I feel like I should know this sort of stuff before finally biting the bullet or the arrow, if you're the pun loving sort, and picking out a setup of my own. I have just been using range provided equipment to this point and I am feeling like I'm getting pretty close to being ready for a rig of my very own.

Notably my ability to hold it. Only issue is that as a right hander, my left shoulder still pinches in the rotator cuff for some reason. Gotta look into that more.

Now that I am older I think it's even more important to get that elbow up. Even though I am a weight lifter and strong for my age, the strain it puts on my/your shoulder with a low elbow is definitely an issue. I shoot a little over 50# and keep my elbow somewhat high, so not even close to the bad shot you showed, but I think getting it higher still would help even more. Going to work on that tonight with some stretch bands first to get the feel. I think it can help with aiming too when you come down into the shot versus having to lift into the shot like I am doing now. Great stuff brother !!

I just recently taught myself this after avoiding for a few years when i first picked a compound up. I drew across my body which required i take additional steps to anchor. Chris bee put a video out of archery mistakes, draw cycle was one. Feeling insecure i raised my elbow up and sure as shit, it was easier to draw correctly. Awkward initially but quickly became easier and routine.

So many KZfaq archery commenters have the arrow point up, elbow down, across the chest draw. I think it’s largely because of the ego factor of drawing 70 lbs or more. They are over-bowed, but poundage is more important to them than technique. I spent several hours watching the best competitive archers in the world on video. Didn’t see a single one of them with a low elbow, across the chest draw. I changed my technique that day. Thanks for this excellent reminder on technique, I wish there was more of this type content out there. Thumbs up.

I drew and hunted with 82 lbs for over 20 yrs. I'm 60 yrs old now and don't have the strength I used to, but still draw 70 lbs. I've killed over 100 deer and numerous other big game animals. You said that, to us "overbowed" guys, that "poundage is more important than technique". I say, what difference does the position of your elbow make while you're drawing if you have proper form once you reach full draw? This is just another non issue that means nothing in the big picture.

Very interesting, i blew my blood vessels on my pulling arm doing wrong form, my coach who is a district champion even said learning on a 40lb bow is not advisable, ive got tiny issues with that but shes a bow champion im not, but since ive been gym many years my muscles are pretty strong, even though haven't been for awhile. So learning stance (which i also done wrong) and pull back technique. Found this very helpful knowing what muscles i need to ingage. Thankyou

Great video. Just correcting my form how you showed increased my draw ability by about 5lbs. It's now a lot more comfortable of a pull and my muscles don't feel as strained after the pull.

Just wanted to say thank you! Just got fitted for my first bow today and I’m not exactly old, but almost 30 and was having a hard time drawing back 50 pounds and my shoulder hurt. Wasn’t doing it the right way. I also have to build those muscles up but thankful for seeing this before I start building any bad habits. Thanks!

Yes just feel your body as you pull and you will get on a groove of doing the drawback the strongest best way, and fingers behind your trigger /release button, peep to your eye not eye to peep
