you're a national treasure Jake, thanks for offering your knowledge and training to us for free.

Love this advice! When I coach I use the analogy 9f teaching a kid to throw a ball. Before you even lift that throwing arm you look at what you want to throw at. The principal is exactly the same and I find it helps people digest the advice 😁😁

I can confirm that this is an overlooked advice. In a barebow competition last month, I shot the wrong target buttress twice. Once during qualification, once during individual olympic round. There were 2 other archers who did the same. We swore we heard a hit but was curious we saw 1 less arrow from our binoculars. We had a few laughs after it was over.

Mr. Kaminski is thank you for offering your safe archery advice through this and all your other videos. I feel very privileged to be able to access your material whilst standing on different continent to you, and in the southern hemisphere.

This is one of the best videos I have watched yet Jake. It’s the exact same “first step” approach to shooting firearms… look at the target, your body will align itself! Thanks again for the great tips!!

We have a seriously good barebow archer at the club and this was the single piece of advice that improved my groups the most.

wow, this movement of the upper body back and forward is one of my biggest problems. i must try this solution at my next training session.

Focus and control is key❤

Thanks Jake, good advice. I shoot korean bow, instinctively. I learned to never take my eyes off my target. I practice blind nocking, never look off target unless something goes wrong and I have to abort my shot. Keep the advice coming!

That’s a great tip and thoroughly explained. Thanks Jake.

Thank’s Jake for all your knowledge & help. It is much appreciated.

Just to correct @stankfaust814, You're international treasure Jake. Thank you for another lesson. Regards from Scottish Highlands

I shoot Trad, but still get some good advice from your videos, thanks.

Good advice. Holds true for archery, also for shotgun sports , like skeet and sporting clays. Don't take your eye off the target.

Absolutely! ❣ The one of many instructions you advised our club a few years back. 🥰 Right next to, NOT moving my head when drawing back...still in use today! 😘

Excellent point! Professional golfers also do the same thing. I noticed this myself. It quites me down and almost become Zen like with the target!!!!!! If not, well ????? Thanks Jake excellent tip......!

Excellent point. Thanks for making this vid.

Some one once said (paraphrasing here) "Drill a hole in the X with your eyes" I think it may have been you Jake. Head position is often overlooked yet a critical part of the shot process.

Underrated and good tip! 👍🏻

Jeff, thank you for producing this video. After viewing this I gave the info an honest try and the results have been most positive. Can't wait to try it again tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice. I never looked at the target before drawing the bow by now I will!

I took my dad to archery practice today and after he got dialled in after one end he told me he watched this video yesterday... he nearly outshot me coz of this, dammit!! I did say *nearly* 😁

Super explanation. Thank you

Thank you Jake. This made a huge difference to me in training tonight. I was shooting an Asiatic (horse) bow with thumb release so I guess this tip applies to all forms of archery.

Wow thank you

I spent weeks this spring/summer past re-teaching my bow shoulder not to climb towards my ear each time I drew on the string. Not sure if this advice woulda helped resolve that, but it was a lesson in how your body can 'go rogue' on you: worst part was that the bad habit crept in unnoticed, and was well-embedded before i became sufficiently aware (I'm uncoached) to know I needed to take remedial action.

Thanks JaKe! So much of your content carries over for me into my compound shooting also!

Thanks for your tips. I will remember this.

Great tip! 😆

Thank you !

Thanks for all your training.

Imagine everytime that you are going to a coffe shop and ask for a LATTE (Look At The Target Early) 😀

Thanks

I picked archery up as a hobby this summer and went from only a few arrows making it to the target to pretty respectable grouping mostly on target with these videos.

Love your (wife's?) bow! And are those fletchings the new colour of your Wav Pro? Anyways - thank you for the content!

Hi Jake. You make it look so easy. A couple questions for the new guy. Why are you holding the string an inch below the nocking point when you shoot? Are your arrows veins or feathers? What weight bow do you typically shoot? Sorry for all the questions. I'm used to the old split finger cant the bow shoot off the shelf method. Thanks!

"Remember to address the target..." Hello Target!

Hey jake, I appreciate the advice given in this video, I was also wondering what you thought of string stoppers on recurve. I noticed you used to use one but stoped after a while?

Oh nice...I've already been doing that :) Good to know that it's important to do though :P

Can I look at the target, set my head position, and the close my eyes while I raise the bow?

Excelente

👍👌well said!🏹😁

i have a question: so i have been shooting for a few years and i am an engineer, so i want to design and machine my own ILF 25'' riser. What are the most important measurements? Also which distance is the actual 25'', the entire riser or from the top bolt to the bottom bolt?

I think a lot of this is for every bow and arrow

Mh, if i would pull my bow and then look at the target, i would have shoot someone. It like pointing a weapon with the trigger pulled in a random direction, may be realizing then, your own kids are running in front of the gun?

哈哈，今天的时长很不像你😂
