Your front hand position holding your bow will either enhance or destroy your archery consistency and accuracy. Getting your grip hand into proper position, and maintaining that proper position shot after shot, will be one of the biggest determining factors to how well you shoot archery. In this School of Nock video, John Dudley of Nock On Archery will teach you what the proper hand position is and how to get your hand into that position consistently every time you grip your bow.

Great teacher. Calm and consistent. Its one thing to be great at something but its another thing to be great at teaching. I've learnt more from a few of Johns videos than I did from a private lesson at my local shop. Dude was high strung and talked way to much. John gives you a feeling of calm confidence and he doesn't overload you with too much information.

Great explanation John!! Back in 1991 in the Ragsdale era I had multiple PSE Mach 6s killer bows for there time!! Immediately took the grips off and gripped just the riser for that torque reason, that’s when they had big fat wood grips!! Funny how the industry migrated to thin grips over the years now!! We new it 30 years ago!! I still have 2 Mach 6 bows in the museum!! Lol. Love your work!!

Great video my man. Watching your tutorials has raised my scores at 3D a tremendous amount :) I was trigger punching and making various 'small' mistakes....not anymore :) I've only been shooting compound for a month or so and your videos have been very useful. Thinking about getting a silverback plus or a backstrap release as I am having trouble shooting my wrist release properly with back tension. Would you say 5 inch groups at 60 yards are pretty good??? I don't have much to compare myself to!

I have been trying to re learn using no peep sight. And basically learn the proper way to shoot a bow. I used to hunt with one some 20 years ago but then i just quit and picked one back up again laat year. Bought a cheap biw forn300 bucks RTH bear whitetail legend. I like it. Single cam bow but man with no one to help me tune and not knowing what im doing is challenging. Im good up to s out 20 yards but anything after is a a gamble using no peep because of my glasses i need them to see far away but when i aim i seem to just be looking outside of my frame against my nose and can't seem to get confortble in my frames for anchoring

Thanks for this. I recently noticed two things that are affecting my accuracy 1) I have left & right torque when in full draw. I noticed my pin quivering L & R when letting the pin float. I will try the chalk drill to make sure my front hand position is ok. But I wonder if I'm not pulling my bow straight back but rather at an angle backward and inducing torque that way. I'm not sure if that's another common mistake? 2) My bow likes to "rock back" when I fire, with the top of the bow leaning back at me. This makes me shoot a little high. My accuracy got better when I started using two fingers on my front hand to apply pressure to the front of the riser to keep the bow level. Obviously this is poor technique and not a good solution but it did help illustrate that this was a problem. I have a stubby short stabilizer that has weight distributed evenly throughout. I'm thinking of trying a longer stabilizer with more weight at the end to see if this keeps the bow more level

Good stuff Dud! I consider the grip my launching pad. As with a rocket launch - positioning of that pad is uber critical for the infinite path of the rocket or the rocket itself can be lost for eternity! >>>---> In retrospect: If I have an inconsistent grip when shooting my bow (especially long ranges such as TAC) my rocket also can be lost for eternity!!!

It is a new grip design I worked on for PSE model bows. It's something I worked on for a year refining and working to get the ultimate grip that allows your hand to be in the same spot every time and a design to minimize torque. If you have a PSE bow you should check it out. People are loving it. They are available in the Nock On store. Good luck!
