Backyard Practice - Injury Risk of Shooting Low Targets | Archery

[@NUSensei]

PS: After doing ONE shot with the incorrect shoulder position, it feels tender a day later. I'm someone who can do hundreds of shots and feel fine. Don't get complacent with your form.

[@ivanzaragoza8800]

Thank you so much for the info!

[@rhashem1534]

Can someone help me? Im looking to buy the Samick Polaris and my draw length is 25”. Which should mean I should get the 14 inch riser, 48 inch limbs. But I have a question, on every website the highest poundage for this configuration is 16#. Does 16# mean 16 pounds per limb or 16 pounds in total? Ps Great video, keep up the good work!

[@mortenjacobsen5673]

@@rhashem1534 total, but strange they onlu come to 16 lbs when other come to 25lbs, are you looking at kids or youth bows? Remember those 16 lbs are messured at 28 inches so those 16lbs are gona be far less, maybe you should consider the samic sage where you can get more effective limbs? If you get 30 lbs limbs you might end up with 20 to 25 lbs at your draw, a shorter bow makes up a little bit speed compared to a longet pne but if the poundage is equal.

Why did you make that Roblox Video? I was very confused.

[@mRibbons]

I learned archery through youtube videos like this. This one seems especially important and I've never seen anyone talk about it before.

[@Max-rk1oy]

You are my favourite warthunder youtuber. I know you said you quit, but there are still some countries you missed out on including new tanks. Come back we miss you

[@marthaanderson2656]

excellent breakdown of a very common issue. When I first learned the waist bend I referred to it as "the little tea pot move" Probably a reference for people of a certain age.

[@natanvandoorn5660]

Thank you! Never realized this!

[@HandyL]

Thanks for another very intuitive observation of a common issue I'm sure a lot of archers tend to overlook, I know I do! NUSensei Rocks!!!

[@Zequintiny]

I know it won't happen, but I feel like someone's shoulder is going to pop out when I see them shoot like this. I forgot which Olympian it was, but I remember seeing them always begin the draw with the T shape with arms parallel to the ground, then make a very clear bend at the waist to adjust for the distance. They separated the motions to make sure they did both right.

[@laserfacts5466]

Correct

[@hamborger2200]

I'm just starting with archery and I'm shooting 3D. So thanks for the advice.

[@AndrewSmoot]

I shot at low targets for years; as a wheelchair user, who really should not have been shooting at low targets, I didn't realize how bad it was for me until I upgraded my bow and bought a target which came with an actual stand. It took a month of consistent practice to correct my form, but, now I can't imagine shooting at a low target ever again.

[@PhillyChease81]

Dude, my draw shoulder usually gets a little sore after shooting but after I got the backyard target my forward shoulder got a little sore and I wondered why. Thanks Nu. I’ll work on it.

[@popinmo]

i saw one of ur old war thunder videos pretty cool to see where you are now from 2017

[@ARTCHILD]

Wow! Thank you so much for this note,thank you!

[@MegaTheRatman]

Very Much appreciated. I just set up a new shooting station in my backyard and for the same reason, safety, I have a low target and I wondered about the change in trajectory and how to best adapt to that. Very helpful!

[@davisstellman]

I have been shooting 12 years, just recently injured my rotator cuff and trepes minor in the last few weeks, it was likely a simple misalignment like you are describing. Great information man, keep up the great content!

[@davisstellman]

I might add I'm a sophmore in college with a shoulder injury shooting about 100 arrows a day on a 45lb recurve bow, it adds up to long term damage if not taken seriously.

This was the perfect video to pop in my recommended. Getting my first bow adjusted after work on the 20th, and doing backyard shooting. Your tips are always great knowledge, thank you my friend!

[@ShadowBoxer]

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind when I start practicing in my backyard after the rains stop and it warms up a bit. Cheers.

[@travisbyers8715]

Thanks man never realized I was doing this.

[@ruftsrescuedogshow1850]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I’m a beginning archer and have apparently been shooting wrong. In fact, I got a shoulder injury last week from doing just what you described. I’m doing mostly better now injury wise and will be going in for a lesson hopefully this weekend. Will try and remember to do everything correctly from now on.

[@tonyhedgewolf]

Thank you, never thought of this 👍

[@Balaclavaballistics]

Thanks for sharing, as I was going to get some rabbit and squirrel targets set up.

[@frankmartinez1159]

Thanks for the tip

[@elenaacim]

Thank you. This explains so much.

[@garymickus6412]

Never knew this but excellent advice. Fortunately in my backyard I shoot at a level target. However my shoulder can raise up, and I need to be aware of this. Also my weight is often is on my front foot and I must concentrate on achieving a balanced stance.

[@vaportrail226]

Hey, me too! I always have to focus on keeping my bow shoulder down. And I'm about 90-95% weight on my front foot. To the point my back foot is just on my toes. No idea why I do this.

[@renatugaming5730]

I suggest drawing level, and then bend at THE WAIST like Nu suggests. That way you have the shoulders in line :)

[@mattelkins2294]

Thank you for this video ... I just messed up my shoulder 2 days ago

Can you please do a review on the “ Ragim Archery Wildcat Plus “

[@panchemist]

Thanks! That explains some issues i've had.

[@jackthemuss2493]

Nice work man

[@vito6397]

Would love to see your review on the DRAKE (company) bows, especially the DRAKE Black Raven or Black Raven 2.0. They seem like really good reasonable priced bows, I just ordered the Black Raven (1.0) from BSW-archery. The bow itself is 150€ but can be bought in a discounted set with other essentials like arrows, protection, bag,... for just 180€, a lot cheaper than buying the extras separately. I just hope its a good bow, there is very little information online about it.

[@T3t4nu5]

Just remembered I hadn't seen anything on my frontpage for a while and looked you up. Glad you're still around because I remember the alleged virus got you in a serious funk.

[@gwlikers4876]

What is the purpose of the weight of a bow and, is it important?

[@RedmarKerkhof]

Thanks for the tip! This video make me record my backyard shooting. I think I'm in the clear concerning shoulder and back position. My release seems to be the weakest link. Gotta pay more attention to that. Do you still do those formcheck livestreams? Would be interesting to get some feedback and I can't in good conscience ask you to take the time just for me alone. :P

[@r1sabotage]

Wow thanks for saving my shoulder...

This happened to me yesterday. As soon as I felt a twinge in my shoulder I stopped but I didn’t know why it was happening. Now I know.

[@ninjagaro.]

Does sensei has videos of streches for archers?

[@beargillium2369]

Yup, if you're getting into archery, wouldn't hurt to go through all his videos, very helpful stuff!

[@gwlikers4876]

I’ve been seeing compilations of people dry firing their bow and you’ve got to tell us what your secret is, how have you not broken your bow. Teach me how to shoot an arrow without having it slip away and end up breaking my bow by accident😔

[@x3roxide]

always check your nock fit. if it is falling off by itself, it's probably too loose. Sometimes this is due to a worn string in which case, all the nocks will be loose. However, if it's only a single nock (or 2), you can either replace the nock (best way), or try to fix the nock by placing it in water just boiled for a few seconds to soften the plastic, remove it from the water and then you can squeeze the prongs closer together with just your fingers until it cools and gets harder again.

[@stevepowell4946]

[@monicab7809]

HI, what is the best recurve bow you recommend to buy for a short person, a girl who is a beginner? For target practice, not hunting.

[@vaportrail226]

PSE Snake recurve. Also sold under the name Arc Roland depending on where you're located. It's almost indestructible. They're cheap. They come in low draw weights. I still shoot mine because it's fun! Good luck on your journey!!

[@nandhinim2676]

Where can I buy a beginner Mongolian bow online?

[@santiagonieto4619]

What would you recommend to someone living in a country where no archery clubs exist? Back in colombia my uncle competed in archery, and I want to do it to but the country I live in (bahrain) does not have any specified archery places. Do you recommend I just buy a bow and practice in my backyard?

[@temkas6049]

Hey Nu Sensei! Do you know why my fletching get cut up when I shoot?

[@NUSensei]

The spine might be mismatched to the bow, which is causing excessive contact.

[@QueenofArgyle2525]

@@NUSensei please elaborate, Sensei.

[@NUSensei]

@@QueenofArgyle2525 If the fletching is damaged, it means that it is contacting the bow on release, which means that the arrow may be too soft or too stiff.

[@user-vv1qf1jk4z]

Is it okay if your back foot lifts off the ground slightly?

[@NUSensei]

No. You want to plant your feet for stability. Once your back foot leaves the ground, you lose back tension.

[@gwlikers4876]

I’ve seen people use two fingers ( middle and ring finger ) to draw back, is that acceptable? Or are all three fingers required? What do you think?

[@NUSensei]

Rather unorthodox. Two-finger shooting is more typically down with the index and middle finger, as these are the strongest fingers.

[@laserfacts5466]

You can also see this with people who shoot heavy longbows. The pivot up and down when they draw, but it's always from the hip.

So it would. it would be the same if you're shooting up.For long distance.

[@QueenofArgyle2525]

Would that not cause more stress on the back muscles?

No. You are holding the weight correctly on the back muscles. Pivoting on the hip doesn't change that.
