Best archery coach on the internet! Hands down!

This is a very helpful video! Been shooting recurve for several years and I always struggled between knowing how to use my shoulder and not my arm to draw. Next time I go shoot, I will try to keep this in mind

I have been a skier for much longer than I have been an archer. Ski instructors constantly stress movement over muscle. Concentrate on the movement, the muscles will follow. Thanks for the reminder.

Good morning from Maple Ridge, BC 🇨🇦 Thank you for this awesome video. I am brand new to archery and am just learning to pull my bow (PSE Lazer). I’m exmilitary and compete in Schutzhund dog sport so am used to being physical but your explanation of bringing the point of the shoulder around totally clicked for me! Technique & foundation are so key; otherwise you get a leaning tower of Pisa. I’m excited to watch more videos.

wow, that's the best advice I've ever got. Great explanation. Thank you, greetings from Belgium

Thanks a lot, this was really helpful! I'm a recurve shooter and I often find myself straining to get my arrow through the clicker, because I'm focusing on getting my back tension right. I'll try focusing on moving my shoulder correctly instead.

Way cool video & explanation! Thank you for all the detailed information & clear demonstration of your point. Learning so much from your channel! Blessings from NW Florida!

Thanks Jake. This was a super helpful video. I am an older compound shooter recovering from frozen shoulder problems which are now mostly resolved. But I had clearly developed some bad habits in my draw technique. I had to reduce my draw weight to compensate and was still struggling to recover, as I just learned, mostly fighting myself. I watched your video, and immediately went into the garage to blank bale shoot focusing on only using the shoulder. What a difference. No struggle, no strain. Just like your hand to face explanation. Your channel rocks! Keep up the good work.

Thanks Jake for this helpful video. Started recurve archery 18 months ago. I find your channel very helpful in improving my technique. Enjoying this new sport!

When I was competitively shooting during varsity years I also got into powerlifting and bodybuilding, and lemme just say, when my biceps peaked just over 21 inches around, it definitely got in the way of my shooting. And to be honest, the extra developed shooting muscles themselves, while contributing to raw draw strength, were not doing much for shooting stamina.

another great video. directly supports Dr. Gabriele Wulf's research showing that focusing outward (on the movement) results in better performance than focusing inward (on the muscle).

Merci beaucoup Jake pour tous tes précieux conseils. Tes vidéos et tes explications sont tellement évidentes que ça nous aide beaucoup

This is very helpful to me . Thanks!! I want your vanes!!!

Thank you for this video.

Thanks Jake, I’m a right handed archer with a painful/clicking left shoulder. Several years ago my doctor said that I was vitamin D deficient, not knowing that this vitamin is important for bone and joint strength. Then I broke a small bone in my foot just walking…this is when I was told why D is so important. I’m just sharing and taking supplements, thanks for your coaching!!!

Alignment is really key. Telling an office worker with less than perfect alignment to use more back tension is rather pointless. The attempt to feel the muscles that the instructor is talking about can ruin everything. Focusing on the mechanics is so much easier to understand and to do. Unfortunately the majority of trainers are just repeating the "back tension story" without paying attention to the alignment of their students. It's not wrong, but it's also not right

Hello Jake, any chance you would revisit the Sanlida Miracle X10 and review and shoot it as a barebow? I'm looking to get it as an entry bow into barebow and would like to see your take on it.

Thanks Jake, it helped me a lot. Also, I'm facing some issue with my elbow rotation of my bow hand could you PLEASE HELP !!!!!

Hi Jake, your new studio creat a echo sound for your voice in your video

Hey Jake, any chance you are working on making a review for the new Hoyt Formula XD riser and Axia limbs? I am considering upgrading from my Faktor/Velos combo but was interested in your opinion on the bow before purchasing. Thanks!

Jake, am I right in thinking that the bones shoot the bow, the muscles are only used to put the bones in the right place or is thinking completely round the bend?

Hey Jake, will your new vanes work on a trad bow shooting off the shelf like a 59 Kodiak for example? Or should "stick" bow people stay with feathers? Thanks

Can you suggest any strengthening exercises for the front arm - i’m recovering from a (non-archery) frozen shoulder and finding it very difficult to hold the bow steady. Thanks in advance:)

I'd like to know who your Australian distributor is?

Jake do you know how to do limb alignment on w&w nx xpert riser? Its kind of unique and weird Cus i look cant find anything or tutorial about it

Focus on muscles? Insane. Imagine learning to ride a bike that way. Or trying to teach your kids to ride a bike that way!! Or learning to ski!!! Or to write your signature, even . . . .
