Archery is so much more complex then people realize lol. Nice on, and an important one at that :-)

[@witchkingofangmar3721]

leaving a comment for the algorithm because Armin is by far one of the best teacher I've ever heard and seen.

[@stefansteiner2670]

These 3 Minute Anyday videos are soooooooo valuable. Keep them coming.

[@cdbc4023]

Absolutely Brilliant! Correcting the bad habits of 20 years in 11 minutes. You Star!

[@Sanguen666]

u've explained perfectly in less than 5 minutes, what my local archery trainer couldn't explain to me for a month... lol.. well done Armin, and THANK YOU! :)

[@ArminHirmer]

Welcome and thank you for watching

[@nosoymuyoriginal]

So helpful! I couldn't understand why I was struggling to reach my draw length and then I watched this video and instantly I was able to draw back much further no problem. Thanks, Armin!

[@blairhayden8955]

This is just the video I needed to see. I have been having pain in my shoulders particularly in my draw arm. Thank you Armin.

[@CapitanWillMoran]

Hi Jorah Mormont, glad to see you safe and well again.

[@timormsby1722]

Wow you must be a mind reader. I was literally at the range yesterday and started having trouble with my draw arm shoulder. This is exactly what I was going to search for. Thank you yet again Armin 👍👍

[@desertrainfrog1691]

Another life saving video :D I've been scrolling forums for days trying to find solutions to my bow arm shoulder coming up and being awkward.

[@alexandersalomatin8650]

Great stff! Very professional! This is what archery must start with to lay down proper basis and learn correct habits.

[@adamkilroe9840]

I like it. My coach used to stand behind me and would tell me to pinch her finger tip with my shoulder blades, then a piece of paper. If you raise either of your shoulders, you can't pinch with the shoulder blades.

[@mortenjacobsen5673]

somehow rowing works...... bet you can .

[@jagatactb]

Very very helpful thank you armin. I have this problem but never know untill i watch your video.

[@mpccenturion]

Thank you Sir. 91 I started. And now I come back to the learning side again. Technique is absolute - or I injure myself. I am back to being able to draw. The mirror is the best teacher. Cheers

[@MichaelJones-ti9fx]

Thank you for the update instruction.

[@rickydlayaute5387]

Thank's a lot Meister Armin for this so usefull video for our health !!!!🙏😊🙏 Me and my shoulders are so happy now !!! Respect for your so good job and teaching us via KZbin 👍😄 Richard Lionheart 👍😎🏹🇫🇷

[@ArminHirmer]

thank you

[@johnhanley9946]

This was very useful, I've been working on keeping my front shoulder down, this will help with the draw shoulder too. Thanks for posting this.

[@slowdancer5563]

Well now. It's control the shoulders, control the shot. Both of them; of course, and the shoulder blades move naturally into place. Thank you Master Armin.

[@jharchery4117]

Man, you are good! changed my game completely. Thanks, boss!

[@MiltiadisRigopoulos]

Simple & Beautiful! thank you!

[@UltimateTruthChannel]

Thank you Sir!

[@mickjenner6697]

I went from ok groups and shots that felt great but no understanding why , I watched 30 seconds of this and bingo, just wow , any chance you can do a video on how to win the lotto ? Since this video, my shoulders are relaxed and all else follows , and arrows want to hit very hard , parallel to one and other , and I'm hitting a 1 inch circle with each group I send down, and wether it's 10 or 25m the results the same , Thank you

[@striple6752]

After 3 hours of thumb release training my right draw shoulder hurts for three days. I made exactly the mistake you explain in this video. Thx a lot I will try to fix my shoulder problems with this video 😀

[@striple6752]

I used the low poundage plastic bow this shows how important the correct technique is

[@dazzyd1964]

Thank you - a perfect explanation:)

[@Arwndr]

Thanks!

[@Pch100]

Cool very helpful 😃

[@hutchieboy242]

This makes sense.... a lot

[@robgoodsight6216]

Good one!!! Thank you!!!

[@positive5601]

Your great😊

[@MrSzomszid]

Good learning video

[@handpan-relaxingmeditation3316]

Great !!!

[@petitpanierdosier3206]

Alternatively, start doing resistance training and you'll get proper muscle activation when doing pulling movements such as pull ups, rows etc

[@robsarchery9679]

Thank,great job

[@havahand]

Armin, are there any styles that use a high shoulder, or is it always bad to have high shoulders?

[@mickjenner6697]

Oh and by 1 , I mean now in the 4 arrows I send at least one hits the little 1 inch plastic disc I aim at, but again thank you for these videos , and life lessons

[@jarridcarter5001]

I struggle with keeping my draw shoulder down. I shoot Mediterranean and when I draw the bow to my face my shoulder goes up. If I try drawing with my shoulder blades back and down it feels uncomfortable and like I'm using my arm more...any advice? All your videos are awesome keep it up.

[@олегтунаков]

Очень наглядно.

[@lorenzoscarpelli7980]

Hi @Armin I shoot recurve Olympics for many years and my alignment was fine when the anchor point was under the chin, but since I started shooting with thumb draw my anchor point shifted to the ear/chickbone and I feel the draw shoulder to go up naturally, I have to use a lot of energy to adjust the shoulder ancors with the clavicle. Any advice? thank you for your video!

[@ArminHirmer]

Lean upper body a bit forward, crunch your abs

[@mortenjacobsen5673]

@@ArminHirmer or you could develop more strength in the lower trapezius , if you wanna go with that muscle to use " back tension " or you could go with developing strength throughout the entire range of motion of the trapezius , and then recruit more power from the rhomboid , also a higher anchor point is bio-mechanically weaker since the trapezius will be stretching and not close to resting posisjon so the range to develop power is shorter .

[@sunday200204]

useful video！！

[@abumohammedabdulla9871]

thanks for the amazing video I am struggling with this problem and I will try practicing the exercises illustrated in the vid I also want to ask if there is a relation between the poundage of the bow and the problem of shoulders up I find it harder to bring harmony in my drawing when I grab bows that ar +35 pounds

[@mortenjacobsen5673]

yes if you try to gain leverage by drooping the elbow the compression forces something up you often see beginners lean back when struggling ,you also se it when compound archer draw with the elbow down and across the chest. compared to the ease a wa competitor draws their bow with ease

[@abumohammedabdulla9871]

Very impressive, almost all the archery summarized and illustrated in 3 minutes! Maestro, bravo! 😎😎😎

[@steven03048]

That was very helpful, because sometime I don't pay as much attention to posture as I should. Many thanks! ^^

[@jonoedwards4195]

For Me, good looking form like that equates String Sting! Great Exercise, I'm going to try it. Unreal Show Armi.

[@arsalaanosman3611]

Very helpful, thank you. Having problems with correct draw.

[@mikhailfong6234]

Thanks, great job explaining, as always.

[@perochialjoe]

Thanks a lot for making these videos. I just got a bow a few weeks ago and ended up hurting BOTH shoulders thanks to bad form. Been practicing this while I heal up so that when I start shooting again I won't need to have another two week break.

[@evangeliacoco]

how was recovery ?

[@pdavis7537]

Excellent video, Armin !!!
