Well that made my morning. When I switched from Med to thumb my brain told me I needed to fix an anchor point but I would just keep drawing back naturally. Somewhere in the back of my head a little voice would try to ruin my joy by saying, "that's wrong, you need an anchor point." I didn't listen. Nice to here it from good Ol Armin though!! Have a great weekend brother man and all in my archery family.💘

This keeps the release as part of a constantly moving dynamic process. Instead of a dynamic process that comes to a halt for a moment at the anchor point and could also collapse as the drawing pressure is lessened to eventually stop for a moment at the anchor point.
@scandinavianarcher70153 жыл бұрын
I also do not have an anchor point when shooting thumbdraw. When I shoot Mediterranean, I have a very clear and defined anchor point, that I come to very quickly. When I shoot thumbdraw I shoot much more instinctively and fluidly in a different way.
@stefansteiner26703 жыл бұрын
I do agree with your release point technique in thumb shooting. I tend to do the same when I shoot thumb release. However, I don't agree with your evaluation of the mediterranean release. You don't necessarily collapse when you're in the anchor point when you apply a similar technique as the olympic shooters. Just keep drawing a tiny little bit all the way until you release by applying back tension. At least for me it works like a charm.

I like the idea of calling it "release point". I try different ways. So far, a bit lower seems more consistent. What makes the biggest difference seems to be control of the bow, arrow, and string, and focus on the target. Super important to not pull harder / further than what is comfortable for my muscles if I want to be accurate and consistent. I love when I see the arrow just free from the moment of release, does not touch the bow, flies so straight, center hit... so hard to not flinch at all and really keep a still focus... Thanks again for all your videos!

The way I've learned it was that Olympic style archery relies on the clicker as a draw check, so they sit behind the clicker as they aim and then draw past the clicker, setting it off. At the moment of release, there is a greater expansion force like with non-anchor shots. Same with Manchu style archery with the bowstring+chest anchor and the feather+face anchors.

Great point. If you are dynamically still drawing, there is a straight line between the pushing and pulling points. If one could have and iron stiff anchor point, that anchor point is still connected to many dynamic moveable joints from the fingers to the toes. Each minute movement due to bad linkage can change the aim in a split second.

@@Mr840126 what I do is that I push while pulling, and keep pushing while pulling and relax my fingers as I release while I’m pulling and pushing and I have great success. The continuing push and pull makes ur body twist and when you twist while your bow goes into the 1 a clock position it will allow for a beautiful kahtrah. I probably do a lot wrong. So Who knows.. I do a lot of different stuff, Right now I’m currently creating a new style in which I don’t worry about footwork stance bow shoulder or anchor point, I’m having success. But not all the time so I’m working out the little details, But the way Malta teaches (Armin) is probably one of the most accurate styles there is. And the most accurate I have shot. And I’m pretty sure he says to twist with your shot. Like feel it in your abdomen, and the only way to shoot while you twist is to keep releasing while your twisting. At least in my mind. That’s how this works. Kinda like punching, you twist with your punch and use your stomach while twisting, I basically do a punch while I twist. The hand coming back is my release hand (and it keeps going back) and my bow hand is my punch.

I shoot 3 finger med with a secondary anchor as advised by Jeff Kavanagh, there is far more in common with thumb shooting that this video suggests. A dead release is poor as Armin suggests and I'd agree with that for any form of archery including compound because that's why they make back tension release aids.

@kirkboswell25753 жыл бұрын
The fast technique involves grasping the arrow with the index finger of the bow hand as far as I can see. I've shot too many years from the left side, so I'm having trouble convincing my muscles that it's ok to shoot from the right side. Been playing around with holding bow and arrows like Armin, but when loading the arrow, go between bow and string, over the hand, and then grasp with the index finger. So far just playing with this, but you might try your own experiment. There are advantages to shooting from the right, among them less paradox when using thumb release. Armin made a discussion video about this. But a 3-finger release likes the left side better IMO. One thing I've picked up from Armin is to not be afraid to try something different and if the first try isn't good enough, try something different.

When it comes to 3f shooting the anchor point is static in 2 axis, for thumb draw the anchor point is only 1 axis. It is important to draw close to your face (when you touch the face you know it’s always the same distance from your “aiming” line) but you keep drawing until you release. So it’s not really an anchor but rather an axis point.

Your "release" point concept goes along way to prevent "helping the arrow" ang gaining more from the bow.

Thanks Armin for the video If you may allow me, I have a concern regarding this technique. If I understood correctly, I assume you consider a releasing point with reference to the pulling tension and resistance. Now after extensive shooting the archer may feel tiered and find himself releasing earlier compared to where he started which will affect his aim and accuracy, especially if he wants to keep a fixed form. Same thing goes if someone goes to higher poundage bow. The fixation of draw length and anchor point gives the archer a fixed reference point from which he get himself an immediate feedback on his shooting technique and what to improve

there are many ways to shoot a bow. When using a anchor point, then you have to hold your backtension so you don't collaps. Pul the string until your backtennsion is almost 100% anchor, and then the elbow is puched to your back (not in line with the arrow, but perpendicular) to get 100% back tension. You can hold this without getting a longer draw lengt. In fact this is the way you have a consistent draw lengt.

The shorter the brace hight is, the harder it is to avoid the arrow hits the bow "the second time", and that "second time" makes it fly "sideways"... By "second time", I mean: First the arrow touch the handle at the arrow pass, but then it should pass without slapping against the handle, "a second time", even when the tail is "waving" from side to side, like a flag in the wind, because the arrow is bend, when released... One simple thing to try, is a more "open stand", so the chest "face the target more" so the shoulders are NOT in a line against the target... That force the bow-arm to increase the sideways tension, from the shoulder, so the arm and bow is "jerked a bit to the side" automatically when releasing... You say you keep "straight arms"... You could try keep the bow arm slightly bend... And the elbow pointing to the left... Also that increase the tension, on the "left side of the arm" so when you relase, the arm stretch out, which moves the bow away from the arrow. Also the different kinds of "khastra" moves, are done to avoid "angled arrows"... Armin made several vids about that... But a third simple thing to try is a "totally loose bowhand"... Perhaps you twist the bow now, without realizing it... So when starting the draw, relax the bow fingers, "a few millimeters away from the handle", so they grab the handle automatically AFTER you released... Some would say: If the arrow fly "sideways" from the bow, the spine of the arrow is incorrect... But IF you perform the "right release moves", that should not matter, when thumbshooting... I use arrows "spined for 80 pound bows", on my 35 pound Manchu, with 7½" brace hight, and they fly straight, ONLY by using "open stand" and "loose bow hand"... Only with my new short Korean, with only 5,75 inch bracehight, I have not yet succeded, shooting "straight arrows"... With those "very stiff arrows", I NEED to perform Khastra "perfectly correct"... I train that standing 2 meter from the target, so the feathers have no time to correct the flight... Try these things, and see if one, or several together, solve your problem... If not, you need to train "khastra moves"... Happy shooting Dan

@@Daylon91 depends on the type of shot you try to achieve: it's not the certain point on your face in itself that makes a good straight shot, it's wether the arrows is aligned with your wrist and forearm and the aiming spot (not target, just the aiming spot). You can have these parameters checked with a precise spot of your face, but that's usually for most persons a 28/29" draw. If you want to pull a 32" power shot with a heavy bow, your release point will be far behind your usual spot, and can be down to your upper chest if you shoot heavy hunting bows/warbows. As long as you keep everything aligned and relaxed in the right forearm, the exact spot does not really matter outside of the power the shot will have.

@@ArminHirmer verkaufst du das auch in deutsch? Loslasspunkt klingt auch super gut nach Behörde 😂 -grade den Übersetzer bemüht. Freigabepunkt ist korrekt. Kling aber noch mehr nach Beamtentum. Trotzdem besser als Loslasspunkt.

Interesting topic and I somewhat agree and somewhat disagree because in Islamic traditional archery there are many disciplines such as dynamic, static, target, fast shooting and horse back archery, to name a few. Nonetheless, there are three popular Imam Archers having taught their techniques as a guide, and as such, there is not really a wrong or correct way but merely the best way that suits each archer. What you showed here is in the topic or "na'zor". Kudos for bringing up this subject.

Ok, I can follow. In Kyudo there is also no anchor-point in the face, as draw length is about 1 meter. The end of the draw is defined by the feeling in the drawing ellbow. But what they have and need for aiming is Hosuke: The shaft touches the face. This ensures, that the arrow has a defined relation to your eye. When I see you, Armin, the arrow is not really near to your cheek. So I wonder how you can hit anything ;-)
