Watch your videos all the time man, super helpful. Thanks

You are wrong

I like vintage compound bows from 1980S there awesome used ebay has lots of them, nothing wrong with them, rambo 2 style bows are my favorite!!!

I love you.

I bought this bow new from the dealer. It was alright. My Bowtech holds better. Trying to find a grip for this bow was a nightmare. Engage grip was horrible shooting off the riser wasn’t nice because the thumb location was sharp and rubbed your thumb raw. Ultimately sold it and bought an Athens Axxis 35. Maybe a smidge slower than the v3x 33 but smoother and more stable.

TAC vanes shoot great, but nothing worse than getting to hunting cabin and they are bent and have no heat gun or hair dryer. Done with TAC

Hey that was me trying to call you guys hahaha, just kidding. Great job on this video my freinds, I am tossing the idea of doing some indoor target arrows. dale

I have always tuned to the 'group at 30 yards'. Have had solocams, dualcams and cam-1/2. Have adjusted rests, yolks, d-loops, grips, strings, peeps, stabilizers, arrows and nocks. I have never shot through paper and can shoot a (6arrow) 1-2 inch group at 30 yards. IMO let the shop do a paper tune at the start, then move on. Know your bow.

Maybe a stupid question, is it rightly tightly and lefty loosely, on the twists?

I'm having a problem with getting stuck below the target. Is there anything that I can do to the bow to help with this ?

One thing you didn’t mention is the type of arrows you’re shooting are they match grade what’s the percentage of straightness on those arrows?? Without that information that’s a deep rabbit hole to go down

I hope this makes sense for the engineering the field. Engineering doctors😊innovation. Darton has lead I’ve been an a Darton and before a flower of innovation since Tom Jennings. Let’s make it happen yall.

These bows are trash and folks I know have been having delamination issues and cracked limbs ….when a bow limb blows up and causes a major injury Mathew’s will get sued into the ground

🎩 fascinating.

What is a good Youth Index release . Trying to get my 6 yr old nephews mini burner set up but can't find a release fit his wrist

Been shooting bows for the last 30+ years and have always commanded the shot. Not hammering but commanding. Great topic, and wish you would upload more! Always loved your content!

So weird i just watched other SS34 reviews and they got 10 fps more

The one I shot was a bullet hole out of the box with a whisker biscuit

Thanks for the help man. Just got my first bow this helped alot

Do yourselves a favour and watch Cam Haynes' latest vid where he gets a grizzly in Alaska. It's very windy and his bow is moving a fair bit. No way you could reliably take that shit without command

Hello, has your irrigation season ended? If possible, I would like to communicate with you about the cooperation of a smart irrigation controller next spring. Are you interested?

Somebody finally said it! Thanks, man!

I came full circle. I move my thumb, slowly increasing pressure until it breaks. That’s how I shoot rifles, pistols and shotguns. For shooting fast, practice preloading and presetting the trigger press fast. Command/concious trigger operation becomes issue when you get problems and instead of tuning your finger, start making the trigger lighter.

Thanks! Finally, some info for us degenerates

YES! Agreed!

You feel like it would make it rocked left to right have a little bit of sway in there they got to have some type of plate inside that grip to that thread rod goes into and then the thread Rod moves that whole plate securing the whole entire grip

Not on that when you're holding in your hand I could not get that son of a gun to feel like nothing more than a feather touched it and it go off

Holy s*** are you serious that means maybe they're strings will be billed to Speck because you know I asked them years ago I still have the vxr 31.5 and hanging up and haven't shot it forever but I asked him years ago about the string specs they gave me string specs that was 3/4 of an inch out and the reason why is because they put so many damn twists in their string

I'm confused your bare shaft hole looks tail left to me???

“Sometimes it just doesn’t get better” 😂 You’re my boy blue!

Thank you for doing this. A surprise break is great if your pin is doing figure eights over the target and you have time to be surprised. BTW no one talks about “figure 8’s” either, just keep your figure 8’s over the target, surprise break or command shot over the target and you’ll hit it. Easy. Anyway, you’re onto something even bigger, address the following: Want to shoot better? Get good sleep, drink plenty of water, no coffee, no caffeine, no sugar, no energy drinks, no tobacco of any kind, no vaping, stretch, be physically fit, lift a little bit of weights, do some cardio, spend less time on your cell phone or computer to preserve your precious vision, try to shoot your bow once a day - - 2 dozen arrows, more if you can, have fun, don’t make it work. Do all of that before you think “my shot process.” Thanks for the video my dude, I completely agree. Command shots happen.

Great topic and great points

I learned how to do a surprise break after watching elkshape but I never liked it. Maybe I have to get more experience but it gives me anxiety. It also scares the hell out of me even after blank bailing several shots in a row.

agree totally,allways want to know EXACTLY WHEN my shot goes off and try to watch the arrow all the way to the target for the best results!

How do I know for sure if my diamond Edge sb1 has a warped riser!! The arrow rest is all the way to the left and the site is all the way to the right and I'm still hittin 4 inches of the right at 10 yards!!

Thanks for helping an old finger shooter, who had to convert to a release, last year , after 47 years of letting go of the string with my fingers, this video makes a lot of sense .

I always strive for a surprise release but the more aggressive I am in pushing and pulling, the less of a surprise it becomes. When I consistenly command the shot though I always end up developing a flinch which can get pretty bad.

A good way to fire is with a release that has a long trigger stroke. You can ensure the continuous movement of the trigger for 5 seconds and at this time catch the moment of the best match of the pin with the target and make a command shot.

Agree 100%. I think it's interesting that most of the guys who kill an elk every year on public land shoot an index release. They spend their time scouting and learning to HUNT. The they shoot their bow "good enough."

Gonna give this a go. Thanks for the introduction.

FINALLY a practical approach revealed. I though it was just me. If I'd heard seen this video sooner, I wouldn't have wasted over $1k on different releases and countless hours try to change. At 69 years old, the eyes don't see as good and can't hold steady at full draw as long so commanding the shot is best for me using you're exact points: very light trigger, enbrace the pin float, and focus on the follow through (don't peek at the target). Thank you!

I would like to hear comments from T. Gillingham and K. Douglas because those two are famous by commanding shots.

100% agree! I think archery is a sport where its possible to be extremely accurate with both styles of shooting for multiple reasons. Mainly, the simple fact that we find pros at the highest levels of competition using both styles. And then there's other shooting sports that require you to develop the skills to carefully squeeze the trigger without punching it. As far as I know most shooting sports involving firearms require this skill. You can't use your back and shoulder muscles to get a better shot because those muscles are doing other jobs like aiming the firearm and managing recoil.

You're going to have to coin the term.. command shot will be the new wave haha 😎 I always notice my most accurate shots don't only break faster.... but also seem like the arrow nearly zips a few fps faster because of extra the push/pull command!👌 Now if I could just figure out how to do it EVERY TIME!! haha

Thank you!

Great info. I’ve been command shooting for sometime now. At least I try to. Steady shot and stay in the shot focus on target and not the pin. That’s what I try to do. It works but can’t always do it. 🏹

You don't push and pull...

Preach! Amen!

You just bitch slapped a few thousand dollars out of Joel Turners purse. Good on you man😂
