Great question here! Traditionally my process is to breath in, draw while breathing out, then breath in at anchor while I'm getting on target and getting ready to go then hold that breath till the shot breaks. What I'm starting to experiment with now is that same set up but breathing out during the execution. Reason being for that is if you look at how the body works; the slow breath out slows the heart rate. When you're aiming and executing that slower heart rate in theory will help keep steadier. Still haven't shot enough this way to see what I truly think but it's something I'm working on.

@ my issue is that when my shot takes just a tiny bit too long to break, I find myself starting to tense up need to take a breath. I’ve always been fascinated by these guys who hold for 10+ seconds and can still hit the middle. I’ve always wondered if they’re breathing the whole time during their shot process.

I would think they are to some degree. They’d have to.

That’s awesome to hear! Thank you for the comment and watching!

That’s what made me start using two finger releases. I never used the third finger it was just along for the ride. You may have to speed it up a little as a two finger just as a heads up. If you like it, my attachment piece fits the HBC Flex too!

@rcrchery Where did you find the 2 finger adapter piece to buy?

I got it designed for me years ago. I was the original two finger attachments. Kolby, Ultraview, at the time wouldn’t make me one so I made it myself haha

@@rcrchery Nice! I found someone who sells them on eBay, but they don't deliver to Canada for some reason. 👎🏼

I can ship them to Canada but you’d have to pay extra for the shipping. It’s gotten really expensive to ship to Canada for us here in the states. It wasn’t that bad before but the last couple times I’ve sent something up your way it’s cost double what it would if I sent it overseas. Even Australia is cheaper to send to now.

I appreciate that!

Thank you!

It’s possible depending on the archer and how they’re compensating. The draw length of the bow sets up your bow arm side of the body and the loop the release arm side of the body. But I do know people interchange that sometimes.

Everyone's body's are a little different on length of the bones in the arm. For me, I've seemed to always had a little higher elbow in my ideal spot than others. The main thing you're looking for with elbow height is the amount of leverage you need over the bow at full draw while executing your shot. This is controlled with the length of the loop. What I see sometimes though are people with low rear elbows aren't getting the shoulder and scapula back into position so the arm is being impeded on the path needed to take and the location it needs to be in. I'd have to see you to know for sure what direction to take. If you ever decide you'd like me to check your form out and see what things look like I do offer an evaluation for $10. You can email me [email protected] to get some more info on it all!

Not on my normal shot. I let my palm area give to pressure build up so the fingers stay in place for the most part. But even with a rigid hand on a resistance release the fingers will just track down the jaw line. In reality they will move very, very little.

@@rcrchery Thank you very much! And, thank you for what you do. I have lupus and severe depression, so I don't have a regular job. My income is minimal at best. So, I could never afford any type of instruction. I really rely on your videos, and I've learned a great deal.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation but I’m glad the videos lend a helping hand!! If you ever have questions feel free to email me; I’m happy to help any way I can. [email protected]

I appreciate you watching and thank you for the comment here!

Thanks for watching!

I appreciate you watching and I’m glad the explanation I gave here helped make sense of the topic for you! Thanks for the comment!

Congrats on being successful with the deer! Sounds like you’re running into some target panic issues when shooting in the yard. Hopefully this can help some but if not let me know, I have Target Panic course as well. rcrchery.wordpress.com/2018/10/10/becoming-a-master-over-target-panic/

Thanks guys. I will try in the off season. Right now I’m in hunting mode. 30 and closer there’s no issue really. I did just get this alpha x in sept so I haven’t had a ton of time on it. Had a v3 27” and shot that thing lights out.

@@Briguy933 hey man congrats, before you settle in on target panic being a problem. What he talks about with the hold and something maybe you don't realize or haven't tried before, is your D loop height could be working against you not your stabs.

@ I’m going to play around with that after the season

Thank you for watching!

Its always a pleasure to watch you videos!! I always lurn something ​@@rcrchery

I don’t use nose buttons. I don’t feel they’re necessary at all.

I've also done this at times too on the mental queue you mentioned. Works very well for me too and keeps me engaged.

I do have a few stabilizer videos going over some of those topics but putting them into one video would be a good idea.

Just wasn’t as good a fit for me with how it felt during shot execution. It also seemed really sensitive to any type of torque at full draw no matter how much torque tuning I did.

Great to hear!

@@dr11993 it’s one I designed for the Shrewd Mini Mag and got it made. If you have that same scope though I can make you one as well.

@@rcrcheryis there another way I can contact you to talk about this? I just got my bow a month or so ago and just bought different sight due to the level and less pins. I need to get one made somehow

@@dr11993 my email is [email protected]

Different things to look at here. Are you measuring this on a drawboard and know for sure what your draw length is or just going off a modual? Are the limbs maxed out or backed off? Backing off the limbs increases draw length. Some brands will be longer than advertised on the moduals too so that comes into play. All that being separated off. What do you want the bow to feel like? Do you want more or less let off? Doing a shorter draw length setting and lengthening out will give you more let off. Starting out on a longer draw length and going shorter will give you less let off.

😂 It's roughly 56 pounds draw weight so not too much and a smooth drawing bow for sure. It's all in the technique of separating the two hands as they settle down and you draw back.

Good luck at your tournament and thanks for watching the channel! I'm glad it's helped out! Just enjoy the whole experience at the tournament and the only expectation you should place on it is just to soak up the whole thing and learn all you can for the next one.

Very old video but this one is a good one for alignment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHive5h6lLidgpI

@rcrchery thank you!!

Absolutely! That’s for sharing that!

Thank you for that! I appreciate you watching!

That’s for sure! The mental part of archery is far underrated for what needs to be worked on for people.

Back with the PSE now.

For peep alignment think of it like aligning iron sights on a rifle. If you’re off a little on alignment you’ll see a change in point of impact. For the bubble, I check it every shot as I anchor and build pressure so I make sure I’m in the middle. It’s not as bad on flat ground but add in wind or hills and it becomes a bigger deal to be dragged off level. Sometimes form breakdowns will start pulling the bubble out of the middle during the shot. If I have a consistent miss in a certain direction left or right I’ll start checking for that during the shot.

Thank you for watching and your comment!

Thank you, sir! I appreciate the comment and you watching!

It would be for the standard bushing.

At the 55 second mark the red lines are the follow through motion. The orange are the lines for holding on target. One of my better holds on target for sure. For smaller hands you'll really just have to focus on consistent grip pressure and then balancing out the bow to try to keep your bubble in place. I see loop length vary from 3/4-1 inch depending on the person most commonly. Testing different lengths based off float can be a way to self diagnose for sure. It's part of my form program when I work with people on coaching and I use a combination of my computer program I made for this to show a length and also what the archer is seeing through some drills to help us dial it in without as much trail and error.

Happy to help!

You came to the right place!

@@rcrchery how does a almost 50 year old guy get some advice and or coaching on how to get good again?

Send me an email and we can look at some coaching options for you sir. [email protected]

Great video again!! Every detail is important !!! I have a MANTIS X8 and i love it. Im still learning how to maximise its use. (That would be a great video to do?😉🤔) my average score is 97.5 on it. (Compound bow). Im starting my 2nd year of archery shooting. (Im 48 in a wheelchair) not that bad for a broken man. Hahahah Im aiming for perfection (kind of) . Im searching for the perfect bow set up (draw lenght, dloop, stabilizer configuration, weight, etc...) im closing in but i still on the learning curve. Im learning with videos like yours. Thanks a lot! You are a great source Question: On my mantis, i saw that i always have a leaning right 2.5degre (constantly) . 0.15sec after the shot (on the mantis) im a right hand shooter. How can i lower that right 2.5 degree??? I dont know if it my side bar stabilizer or my hand grip? Or both of them?

@@dancom69 You're getting great scores on it for sure! It's awesome to hear how much success you're having! Try angling out the back bar away from the bow a small amount and see how things go with the angle. The cant isn't always a bad thing though. Especially if you're shooting well. If you notice the cant won't go away then just roll with it and adjust the first axis on the sight to accommodate for the cant. Angle it a little to the left to bring your bubble back to the middle at full draw.
