Man!!! Thank you. For some reason, I torque more at distances pass 20 yards. I got out in the yard for this evening shots and tried this technique. It worked for me. Of course, I'll keep doing it, to train the brain and grip, but yeah, I could see the difference. Glad I saw this before I started waling my bow back....

Great advice John!! I will give it a try. You have a knack for clearly and simply explaining things. I have a question. Is there anything wrong with letting a finger or two rest on the front of the riser for stability when you are in a cross wind and the bow is getting buffeted around?
@Terpedup925Ай бұрын
@@willc3384 I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. I do that but I make sure I don’t put any pressure on the grip with the 2 fingers.

Thanks for the tip. Grip is something I have struggled quite a bit with especially as i've up'd the poundage over the last 2 years (55 when starting up to 70 now). That consistency is hard.

I didn’t use the lighter but envisioned as if it was there my groups went from 3 inches to piling my arrows on top of each other insane honestly thank you another thing that helped me was keeping my pin on target even after releasing I use to move my bow to the right to see where my arrow was landing as soon as I hit the trigger which was causing my arrows to go right again thanks!
@user-il9ip8no2oАй бұрын
There are 2 ways to either control the torc by twisting intentionally to the right or left each time, or leave your hand as it suits you in the hope that it will always be so. Instead of a lighter, you can bend 2 or even 3 fingers, but this does not solve the problem of a torc anyway it will be. Over time, it becomes constant no matter which way and you just have to adjust the bow to this torc. Something like this.

The main downside to more let-off is we're getting into the area of how much of a technological advantage do we need over a wild animal. I absolutely live to hunt , but in today's world we're walking a fine line of having so much of a technological advantage when does it start to affect the " fair chase" aspect these animals deserve.
@edwardhovitz17534 күн бұрын
Bow hunting is as fair as it gets regardless of let off IMO. Even with 99% let off, there is still so much more that goes into short range hunting. 200 yard rifle pop shots in jammies from a vehicle having just finished a plate of flapjacks and a 20 min nap… that’s shameful.

Would you say the pushing tension and the pulling tension should help with aiming? I'm definitely good to try this thanks, I'll show my son as well.👍🏹
@Corewood_TJPАй бұрын
To some extend yes, I think so. Ever since I started shooting with mechanical release (appr. 2010-2011), I have shot back tension release. That forces you to have this tension in the holding position. And I also found that rather than pulling the shot of pushing the shot of can do wonders - but you still need some pull also. It can however be tricky to set the back tension release to the exact correct pressure that suits you. Because sometimes you have a liitle more initial pressure, so if it is too light it goes off, as soon as you activate the back tension mode. I think most of the time, I have had it set quite hard, so I have to pull/push relatively much to get the shot off. I find that there is a position during the shot cycle where I aim pretty steady, but in most cases that was not when the shot goes off - I had to push/pull more, what makes me and my sight picture shake a little. But I have shot pretty well shooting back tension release and a few times I tried to shoot triggered, I found that I shoot better in back tension mode. But - it is a bit physically hard to shoot that way, making it a bit difficult to shoot 6-arrow groups, if you don't take the time to it. So Last week I started to see if I CAN shoot without back tension mode - i.e. setting the back tension release (Carter Attraction) to a so light setting that it goes off at pressure on the trigger. But when you shoot this way, you should still have some pressure on the "wall", so that you sight picture don't get too wobly - plus also to be sure that you have more or less the same pressure against the stops / the same draw length (not creeping). In general I found that I shot a tad lower in triggered mode than in back tension mode. But I also found that could more easily shoot 72 arrows with 6-arrow groups, without getting too tired (but you still need to take your time to it with small breaks between the shots). In general I found that my grouping is worse than with back tension, I also found that I got these random very bad shots, that I most often don' have with back tension. But I have to give it a week or two to see if I can get it more consistent, and to see if I like this better than back tension. Because I also hade some quite nice groups - perhaps with one arrow wandering more or less off.

@jrhunt414Ай бұрын
I disagree with reflex geometry itself making a bow easier to torque. BH, limb design, and cam design ; and as you said string tension are the factors that create the moment arm length and reactive forces at full draw that resists hand torque about the axis of the grip. Lots of bows with long limbs, traditional limb angle and lots of reflex. These bows resist torque more than a lot of newer past parallel short limbs with very little reflex. Just draw the free body diagram for the grip axis at full draw and you’ll see real quick what resists grip torque statically and what creates larger moment of inertia to resist it dynamically after the string is released.

This is NOT a good idea. Good form and consistency is all about muscle memory. Why would you introduce something you are just going to have to ditch later. I am not carrying a lighter with me to the range or 3D course, and I am certainly not going to hunt with one. Your fingers should be more relaxed than what they would need to be to hold a lighter anyway. Just teach proper form to begin with, and don't introduce anything that you need to remember to have with you all the time or something that you have to get used to NOT being there later. Just plain silliness.
@rockfieldlangley195514 күн бұрын
Jeez. You missed it bud. The lighter makes it so that your fingers can't wrap around the handle, correcting a form problem. I didn't take it that he was suggesting to always use a lighter,LOL! Its a tool. Do you have bad grip form? Try introducing a lighter while practicing to encourage better grip form/mechanics.
@bowhunt996814 күн бұрын
@rockfieldlangley1955 No, i think you missed my point. I understand the purpose, I'm just saying that is a poor teaching method. What happens when you get used to the lighter being there? Then you have to break the habit and get used to it NOT being there.
@rockfieldlangley195513 күн бұрын
No, use it as a retraining tool. It's about correcting improper grip. The lighter will prevent you from wrapping your fingers around- preventing the bad habit of death gripping- enabling you to get reps with better/correct form. If you've built the habit of gripping incorrectly then it can be hard to switch off. Like any sports related training, sometimes the only way to retrain is to get a lot of reps with correct form. This is a way to accomplish that. It's about correcting bad form. You were right that learning proper form is better, but that's not realistic, get into anything new and it won't take too long to realize that you built some bad habits, and can improve things.
