Gday, So what are those bands called please ? They seem thinner and wider than resistance bands. Thank you 👍

Perfect 👌

Watching this with a huge bruise on my arm lol. Very helpful for the next time. At first I shot with a posture that wasn't necessarily right but it felt comfortable for me and I could aim fairly well, but I also wanted to listen to the coaches and practice the right posture...that's when the string started hitting my arm. I thought I was doing something wrong but turns out it was just my overbending joints. The couch told me to bend my arm a little but that felt awkward and I started to miss a lot of shots. This is helpful. 🫡

Compound bows are better

Thank you very much. Very good info. JPE Archery Academy. Cheerio..

NO FINGER TABS OR ANY SORT OF PROTECTION???

Thank you and to your student for this material which demonstrated my main flaw I am struggling with, which is my alignment and when I come or fail to come into alignment. The take away from your video is working to come into alignment using the core and shoulders.

I’m 60 and starting. Will have to take this video with me to back yard. Thanks! Wish I had started sooner.

Hey? I have been an Archery for the last 2 years and I can't twist my arm...I tried twisting it but I can't...😢

Hello! I bought tan bands to increase the relative strength of my training bow (I built it following your tech specs). If placing one band is OK (I place it identically to what I shown in the video), I encounter problems with more than one band. They actually roll up and down along the string as soon as I start pulling on my bow. Do you have any advise on how I should place them? I’m almost sure having already seen such a setting with several bands in one of your videos but without being able to find it back). Many thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for your lesson on how to calculate sight adjustments. Making precise sight correction adjustments always been a challenge to me. Today I tested your method and it worked perfectly to me. I have just one suggestion. Instead of counting in scale units I would suggest counting in clicks. While it doesn't change any adjustment settings, I think for some people it would be more convenient.

Hmm - I come more from the traditional side of archery, where there is more of a throwing of the chest forward. I think this is partlz to prevent the bow from rotating while using the back ideally to make the pull. This is more pronouced with thumb draw techniques and with longbows at very heavy draw weights.

Hey Jarryd. Something I've only recently come across regarding aligning the shoulders. Something I've been inconsistent with since starting archery 15 months ago. I've watched every video on KZfaq multiple times and most videos say to rotate the shoulders to get them into line but in doing so, it's very easy to roll the bow shoulder if not done correctly. It's only recently that I watched a video from a guy called Ashe from online Archer academy and he says to rotate the torso from the waste up. I tried it and it felt really good. My shoulders aligned in doing so, so much easier and It took the focus off trying to rotate the shoulders which like I said, it always felt different because I was approaching it wrongly. My whole point in this post is that when talking about shoulder rotation, would it not be better to mention that it's the torso that is meant to be twisted or rotated, which brings the shoulders into line? It was one of those ah ha moments....ive had a fair few of them 😂😂 but it has completely changed how I align my shoulders. It's something I've to work on now but it just feels so much better, rather than when I was trying to rotate my shoulders and not fully twisting my torso and getting different results. My bow shoulder stays in place and the whole movement is alot smaller than what I've been trying for ages to master. I hope you understand where I'm coming from but it's that one little explanation that has completely changed how I align my shoulders now. There's alot of videos about people having issues with their bow shoulder rolling forward and I'm thinking that maybe this could be related to it....well in some cases anyway. That little twist of the torso and the bow shoulder stays put and both shoulders move into alignment. Sry for the long post but what are your thoughts in it? Or am I completely wrong on this 🤦‍♂️🥴

What a fantastic analysis, this video help me with some doubts and will help me to improve a LOT. Keep making this videos you are doing it great

Well, I dont call what you are doing archery.

What does it matter ?

well done everone! Congrats on the new bow Ella! Fantastic colour choice! Good luck defending the title Atticus!

New to your channel but i have to say your video analysis is on point. It makes visualizing things extremely clear.

Can you help me with where to place my bow hand on the riser in all details

Check out the full video here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nL2ga9p60tvRaY0.htmlsi=pa9TrRMrq7rzdO8I

Best video I have seen on this subject. May l added something: Linear draw requires sharp rotation of the draw arm scapula which puts undue load on the rhomboids which is prone to injury. This could be why archers often complain of a pricking pain under the scapula. With linear draw most of the work is done by the deltoid till you come nearly to end of it. Angular draw allows you to use the core muscles and trapezius do most of the work making it much more efficient. Once you come to anchor position you may use linear action or continue the angular motion to come of the clicker. Pros and corns of of these two methods of expansion may be discussed separately.

Thanks 👍

So which one IS better? I oersonally use angular because the arrows dont fall of my flimsy support quite as often 😂

Very complete analyse of these two different ways of shooting. I really like your approach, always open mind and constructive, you have answered my questions at the end of the video. Thank you very much for sharing.

As I went up in draw weight I found angular to be helpful to engage my back earlier in the draw, and the transfer becomes easier and I'm much less fatigued after a session because I'm using larger muscle groups all the time. But, if there's anything I've learned about archery, it's that a shot cycle is like a finger print... Everyone has their own. If it works for you and you can stay injury free while keeping consistency, then that's the right way for you!

Another great video and detailed breakdown of the two shot cycles. I like that you pointed out the obvious merging of the them in some cases. I am an angular draw archer and one thing that has driven this is that (besides wrist flexure) I have rotator cuff problems in both shoulders which requires careful set up and draw cycle. I find the angular draw easier for me than the more linear draw. I find, in a lot of first time student that they adopt the linear draw because they are focusing on aiming the arrow at the target throughout the shot cycle. It takes a bit to get them to not worry about aiming until they have achieve shoulder alignment and solid anchor.. all part of the adventure-- thank you for your help.

Wow that helps me a lot to find out why my Draw shoulder hurts. This method offers a lot of training and self study potential. Thank you for sharing this.

I need to move to Australia now haha I hope I had this at my Archery Club in Spain

Love the video and how much research you put in. I have to say though that movement of the bow will almost always happen when coming into anchor, that degree of angular movement does not define angular draw. I would instead be more interested in angle of the draw arm elbow, and or distance of drawing hand from bow arm. These measurements would likely show more significant difference between the two styles. I'm sure you know that though, so I'm curious why you chose bow movement as the criteria?

Primary Goal and Reason of Proper Move in the Angular Shot Process (also known as BEST/KSL/NTS) is: To prevent injury (especially to the archer’s shoulder), not to quickly achieve higher scoring results in a short period of time compared to the linear shot process.

Re: Aiming Path Proper timing of aiming takes place ‘AFTER’ an archer has achieved Transfer to Holding in angular (BEST/ KSL /NTS) drawing shot process to settle down before an Expansion. It is important not to trace the sight pin with your eye(s) during the setup, loading, and anchoring to full draw (also known as Transfer). Proper timing of aiming takes place after an archer acheived Transfer to Holding in angular ( BEST/NTS) drawing technic not tracing sight pin with your eye(s) during Set up to loading and anchoring to full draw ( aka: Transfer )

Key takeaway for me - synchronize aiming pattern with draw same lesson for recurve as for compound. I’ve started shooting recurve and this alignment or lack thereof really becomes apparent. The need to keep stability and have one’s core motionless really is paying dividends for me. Thank you for explaining this so clearly and eloquently

Some great insights and explanations here! I've noticed that with a more angular draw it can also take a bit more effort before I hit the full draw, aligned position. It makes sense to me since the bow is being drawn further away from the body, creating a greater angle between the bow shoulder line and the bow. Has anyone else had this experience?

When you highlighted possible downfalls to an angular draw, you did so as a prior fault by the archer in their technique. (i.e. stability issues) Doesn't this apply to any stage in any style and therefore is an invalid argument? Just asking. Excellent video by the way. 😊

Thank you very much for these great Video ❤
