Ok, I'm a traditional shooter and your explanation of the wrist torque motions has just enlightened me to something, thank you! Bless the diversity of Archery 🙏🏼

I got my girlfriend into archery and your videos help her so much. Thank you!!!

I've been getting string slap high on my bicep. I think you just solved my problem. Thanks!

Woooooow,lepší reklamu na compound lukostřelbu jsem snad ještě neviděl.👀👀👀😍😍😍👏👏👏👍👍👍Bravo,bravo,bravo.

I just bought an arm guard. Don't have to worry at all. And my shots are consistent. But that's just me.

These tips will help for sure. I usually just suck it up till the tears come!! Got to the point where I would drink a few shots (Johnson&Johnson shampoo, no tears formula) so I wouldn't seem so weak in front of others. But no more!! Cant wait till tomorrow to try these out. Thank you very much.

Also, it helps to rotate your elbow to the outside and slightly flex the elbow inside of locking the elbow. Locking the elbow, especially with those with more flexibility can place the forearm in the perfect position to get slapped by the string. Cheers👍

That's solid content right there. Thank you

This is awesome, my kids are just learning to shoot bows and they've both hit themselves with the string. I'll be showing them this!

Have only just started archery and this is the problem I've bn having, should see the bruises I've got on the inside of my fore arm right now. Thanks for the vid. Good info

Just bought a modern compound bow after 15 year's and I'm feeling a bit hesitant about my first draw on a new now so thanks for the info. Now I have to get the hang of bow sights for the first time

Thank you for the info, i shoot a compound bow and was scared to extend my bow arm cause i have hit my arm alot with the string and this has helped me alot, thanks again

I just turn my elbow so the bend is pointing in and not up, and that usually gives me the clearance I need.

I love this video i haven't shoot a bow and arrow in a very long time theses tips might help me out alot

I really love this easy to understand explanation.

Just wear an arm guard. It's been around since the bow itself. Also, standing side on helps line up your shot, narrows your silhouette and puts you arm structure behind the bow for a more reliable draw base. I'm an archery instructor, if anyone is wondering, and I shoot traditional.

I've never wanted to be a bow so much in my life

Another quick tip for beginners to get the elbow straight. Bend your fist into your chest then extend into your bow arm position. Note the position of your elbow and repeat when shooting.

String slap _sucks,_ I got my forearm a good one with a 70lb compound once, never did that again...

My second day of archery will be coming soon. I will use this video for reference. Very helpful tips.

Thanks weirdly not what I was searching for but since you mention it. Yeah I don’t want my arm beat to death by the string. It occurs to me that if the string was doubled on the opposite side it would put your arm away from that snapping string. Just a thought as a beginner and novice. I have literally only fired one arrow to date and have a ton to learn and can’t wait to get at it. I’m sure there is a reason it’s done this way

What is better? Straight bow arm or little bent elbow? For acccuraty. Thks for the video!!!!!

Thanks. I'm new to archery. You helped me a lot. Thanks again..

Great advice for a newbie. 👍🏻

TYSM!!!! i have EDS and my arm overextends, the stance thing should help a lot

The way she draw so effortlessly, shows the years of practice

The bows I know and grew up with: Wood with rubber or fibre. Me after seeing this futuristic bow: the future is now old man.

This was nice. A lot of knowledge in short video

This is helpful! My wife and I tried archery couple days ago and have welts on our forearms 😂

Excellent instructions

I always wear an arm guard cause that shit hurts.

I only get slapped when I shoot split finger for some reason. I normally won’t get hit because my bottom three bow hand fingers are tucked into my palm creating significant gap between my arm and string. I’m still working at it…

Thankyou master 👍👍👍👍👍

Great advice thankyou

Getting twanged hurts a lot if not careful, thanks for the advice

So, I train archers for a living. Though all of these techniques work, you can also just rotate your elbow downward. By doing that, you can keep your shoulders in line with the target and maintain bone on bone contact from shoulders to the bow arm wrist. This allows the archer to brace the bow using the bone structure rather than by having to just use muscular strength. It is the same reason standing with legs straight is easier than squatting. Also, I saw a few people say that with compound you have to shoot with a bent elbow. This is not the case. You can get the same balanced feel with the arm straight if you are properly aligning shoulders, push into the grip, and maintaining pressure with the draw arm directly behind you (essentially maintaining connection with back muscles). As long as the draw length isn’t too long and the stabilizer weights are balanced with the holding weight, you will be fine. Look at most high level competitive compound shooters. Most shoot with a straight arm. Not all compound shooter shoot with shoulders aligned straight to the target. Many can get away with this because of a low holding weight. However, if you are a recurve or long bow shooter, this is not the case. The straight line has to be there or you risk injury as well as consistency at long distances. Regardless, cool video 🙂

Thank you so much this helped a lot

I’m hyper mobile, so I also have to inwardly rotate my elbow to keep it safe from string slap

LOVE your every tips ❤️😊👍❤️❤️❤️

Thank you I did what you said and my groups got tighter..thank you..

Simple and great.

I have also noticed that some people 'hyperextend' their elbow joint toward the string. Is there exercises to control this?

Great job 👏🏽

How do you keep those giant knockers from getting in the way?

Very informative. Thanks.

You can also rotate your arm, so the inside of your elbow faces the string.

Great vid.I have done it back in the day.I have seen some people get some bad bruises.

Is it true that a recurve is for sharpshooting and compound for hunting

I used to be a boy scout I made it to life Frank and I would love to freshen up on my outdoor skills

You can rotate your elbow when you draw. Just rotate it out of the way. You will see

Beautiful....Beautiful stance and archer! Awesome see woman in the sport

Turn your elbow out to align the radius, humerus and shoulder joint.

so nice.. the Archer..... and the bow. :)

didn't. Just got my recurve bow yesterday. My arm guard is coming today so I really expected to have a red arm yesterday . I probably took around 40 shots yesterday, and I'm glad to say I did not get my arm once. I started at about 20 yards( I have never shot a bow in my life) and I was all around a 2" by 2" target. Thanks

What’s the name of the bow that u have? Would love to get one similar

String slap is Gods way of teaching form🤣

Proper form is everything. If your form is shit, you can still be fairly accurate and consistent with a compound, but not so much shooting traditional, and you won't be as good as you could be with proper form. Even so, getting nailed by that string will still happen occasionally. It just comes with the territory. Maintaining proper form thru-out the draw and release will help keep it from happening very often tho, as it only seems to happen when there is a breakdown in form.

Great video!

awesome, thx for the info!

As someone who does medieval archery, I fully agree with the elbow out, bow at the wrist, altered stance. However, has anyone considered a bracer? Plain or fancy, they’re great at protecting your arm, for people who can’t alter their stance for best form and strength in a non-compound bow.

best sum of the key points ! Thanks

Excellent, I like it, I love archery

Bois and the company has a full focus on the target. Ma'am

I like the 45° angle thing for not hitting your arm though

Hi i'm new to archery and I was wondering what is that thing she used to pull back the arrow and is it useful. This all fascinating.

That reminds me plane crew demonstrate safety procedures 😀

I like the 90 degree stance. It feels more accurate and not as awkward as 45. (But i like to start pulling at 45 degree then place it 90 degree to shoot. So yes, this helps)

My DL is 26"ish but I played around with my bow trying 28.5. Thought I'd take one quick shot and bam, hard string slap from my 70# NXT. Arm swelled up almost an quarter of an inch, the radius of my palm. The subsequint bruise went halfway around my arm. I will always use an arm guard from now on lol 🏹🤠👍.

Darn straight, i remember changing my stance made a huge difference

My hero.

I like how the bow has a stand thingy too. Is all that gear heavy?

Wearing a sportsman shirt but they fired all their bow techs😂

Hello! I have archery tryouts and I have never even shot an arrow before so I am learning to see how I can get better. So do you have any advice for a beginner like me?

well done!

Cheers mate.

Thanks Paige .. :)

Thank you 💜

Sweet tips.

Great details

I’m on my second day of archery and I got an arrow so far into my target it got stuck on a tree. Is that Impressive or a regular happening?

What's your opinion on the hand holding the bow. Do u think u should curl your 3 bottom fingers in and only grip the bow with the thumb and pointer or so u think it doesn't matter how many fingers grip the bow.

Thanks for that Hot tip.I just wish I could Put i had somewhere to put it now?:)

I actually like the slapping. It reminds me im a naughty boy. I wish there was some sort of whip on my backside at the same time.

Hi...can I know the Name of your Academy? I mean where you got trained

How beautiful is this?

I never look at the bow 😂

Are those archery shoes ? If not grandma needs her shoes back 😂

Do not do any of this if you shoot a proper longbow…

Never had that happen been shooting 30 yrs guess i was taught right the 1st time.

I never lock my elbow. I shoot with a relaxed elbow open grip and never get string slap

I guess I just naturally have decent posture because I have never hit my arm. Even when I was a kid. Thankfully lol

Gorgeous

Good luck doing that when you're hiking through the bush or stalking an animal on the go and you got to take a whatever shot you can get you're not going to have time to sit there and align your feet and everything when I'm shooting I've been my wrist out just a little bit and it keeps my arm away from the bow string

Holy shit that was helpful

Teach this to the hawkeye

Thank you...❤

She makes it look so easy though.

show us how good your skills are with a recurve bow open sights 100 foot shots that's skill

So today I got archery coaching from Paige Pierce. She didn't have to say a word, but did anyway.

I'm getting Air hostess vibes 😂
