Instinctive Archery: Anchor Point and Release

In this video i discuss Jim's Three C's of the Anchor point and Release:
COMFORTABLE.
CONSISTANT.
& CONCISE.
They are the fundamentals of getting a spot on release.
I hope you enjoy! Take care, thanks for watching and shoot straight!

that second anchor point bit is BRILLIANT

[@michaelcolloton6971]

You, Chris, and Jeff are my go-to guys. Whatever progress I've made in the three months I've been shooting trad is largely, hell, mostly due to you three. Thanks!

[@ArcheryAdventures]

Thank you Michael Colloton its good to hear... Jeff and Chris are really nice guys! :)

My anchor point is with the thumb tucked right into my high cheek bone, just under my dominate eye. It was natural right from the very start, it works for me, completely non-conventional. Makes my draw length very reliable, every time, 27.5-28 on the spot, the 3C's. You do great videos, keep up the good work. Thanks very much for saying it's completely, a individual preference, I needed to hear that. Most videos are saying you've got to do it this way or your doing it wrong, I'm not a field-target shooter, I'm more into the Howard Hill method, bow hunter, and your video really hit home with me.

Get well soon GJ, we all wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to your next video 👍🏻

I think the point about closing the eyes and the influence of ones eyes is a really good point. Worth expanding on. I was shooting at dusk and the target was harder to visually resolve. My form (I'm a rank beginner at Trad archery) greatly improved!!

Very big help and easy to understand. Thanks For Taking The Time To Post!

[@ArcheryAdventures]

Just glad it helped... Take care

[@jamiestuart8635]

wishing I lived closer to you as up here in Scotland no one seems interested in stumping /and enjoying the forest ! well done for your inspiringly videos!

[@Gallowness]

cheers for the video. Started shooting a bear recurve a month ago and watching some of your videos has really helped. Paper cup training is great too. I've gotten to 8,5m now, where I can put the arrows in the cup most of the time. I haven't tried releasing with my eyes closed to practice my release but I'll give that a shot. Cheers.

Merlin Archery Ltd great upload, thanks for the inform so freely given.... Making use of the backlog to learn between club shoot days

[@bowdrillaz]

Thanks Jim! Another great and uesful video!

[@jesusromero5729]

I now know how to release properly thanxxs Jim !!!

[@colbonthecob2530]

"The right way to shoot a bow is the way that makes the arrow shoot straight and hits it's target" I don't remember where I heard that but it's what the beggining of the video reminded me of.

[@christianbruce2990]

Thanks for the great video! This will definitely help!

[@onon777]

Thanks Mate, That was some really good tip there.

[@aaliyahraks]

happy to have found you .... i want to learn archery

[@massimomagli9244]

Thank you... I use to say release is not an action, it is a direction. Anchor is not a place in the face, it is a compressed spring inside my shoulder. :D

[@chriskurth]

Nice video Grizzly!!

[@papyfred7817]

You're so a good teacher. I'll practice it this afternoon ^^

[@ArcheryAdventures]

You're welcome Jesus

[@3DArchery]

Great video. I was trying to communicate the release to someone the other day. Difficult isn't it?

[@binaryvip]

Dig it. Dig it.

[@jesusromero5729]

Do you know where I can get a Falco spirit here in America ? Because I fell in love with that bow.....

[@redsquarejay]

I just have one question. Do I have to touch the string to my nose? I'm kinda using survival lily's ancor point using the jaw bone so I kinda have 2 points already

[@ArcheryAdventures]

Whatever works best for you buddy 😇

[@miserablecherry7651]

Dig it?

[@chazchazsmithsmith]

Last time I closed my eyes I killed 3 pigeons and an greenhouse (wasn't allowed to use the shotgun again for weeks) LOL...YES...I'm joking :)
