[@Bryan-wc3et]

Im 67 and warm up every time before I shoot, done it for years. The biggest problem I see is people shooting to much weight. You Duddly Bill W Cameron H (95lbs) is pushing people to shoot way more poundage than they should. 80% of people are not in shape to shoot those weights. No matter how much you warm up that high poundage will eventually get to your shoulders. I shoot 54lbs and over 11,000 arrows a year and my shoulders are fine. Just my two cents on the subject. As always a great video. 🏹🏹🦌🦃👍

[@stenny512]

I agree. Poundage doesn’t kill things, shot placement does.

[@6saturdaysaweek]

They like selling these big poundages. When a 55 pound compound with a good cut in n contact will kill everything in N.America

[@ML-ks2lj]

Yup I have the bear whitetail legend. Turnt it right down about 57 pounds peak weight. I have a collar bone sticking out my right shoulder and my left shoulder is.torn. I can hold it for about 2 minutes.

[@6saturdaysaweek]

How do you warm up in a hunting situation

[@ML-ks2lj]

@@6saturdaysaweek i shoot before I go hunt. If I'm lucky my wife gives me a massage before hand to wakeup the blood vessels. For me the pain is always going to be there no matter what. Docs say I need surgery on both shoulders. I can still use them so surgery can wait. I wasn't same after my injury I definitely won't be he same after surgerys. So stretching and massages and then practice shots.

[@sawyertward2655]

Love what Preston is doing for the industry! As his nephew, I know he cares a lot about the industry and the people in it! I love to see this kind of healthy content grow to channels and help people see the importance of staying up on your health to keep you on the mountain. Great vid guys!!

[@philbolanos5473]

Oh man this is the video series I needed! Recovering from compressed discs and pinched nerves in my neck that rendered me unable to pull back even 25 lbs. A year and a half later and I’m back up to 66 lbs. Thanks for the content. I really appreciate your intensity and your passion really shines through my dawg.

[@blessedvetoutdoors]

Guilty of not warming up, I'll stretch from time to time before I do shoot. At 37 now, I'm going to start actively warming my muscles before I start shooting. Thanks Dan for making this happen sir.

[@davidb_525]

Just what I needed. At 46 and destroying my body riding motocross I need all help I can get. Both my arms have a lot of extra parts I wasn’t born with. My left shoulder no matter draw weight light or heavy I get some pinching sensation until I get to full draw. My right wrist doesn’t bother me too bad, but if I use a wrist strap release I can’t get to a comfortable position to make a good anchor point. Using a handheld release I’m good to go.

[@briankidwell5304]

Thanks, Dan. I am getting ready to have my third rotator cuff surgery as I have a complete tear to both the infraspinatus and supraspinatus due to an accident. I am fifty two years old and will not bow down to a crossbow. Hopefully, by next fall. I will be able to put this information in to place. Currently, I am still shooting, but we'll go under the knife in early March. 0:24

[@jowhi9296]

21 yrs in the military has done me in. I will be watching these videos over and over to help me w tips and tricks!

[@DallasZamora365]

Love that Jeff is sporting the melanzana hoodie! Big shout out to him for sporting Leadville’s finest!

[@doddsoutdoors]

Ya buddy 😎😎

[@bradleyembert4395]

Dropping content like crazy bro! Loving it! Excited for the December challenge!

[@stevelewis2444]

Literally just started archery and bought one of these bands the other day cause my whole body was sore, so stoked when I saw this video..I plan to warm up every session...thanks again

[@steviegallegos9470]

I am a 57 year old female, and suffered a bad left shoulder injury many years ago. Shoulder is not 100%, but close. Started shooting a bow in 2019, and because of this injury, I warm up RELIGIOUSLY! Am up to 51 -52 lbs on draw weight, and have been hitting a wall. Haven't been able to increase (would like to increase draw weight a little more), and have been suffering some strains and pain. I will be watching this series for any tips!

[@LUMBRZACH]

Preston is awesome! He helped me out with shoulder issues a couple times!

[@christiantorres6118]

Great video. Dan taught us some good shoulder rubber band exercises at an Elk shape camp in Arizona. Game changer. Within a few weeks, my shoulder strength and health noticeably improved.

[@garaldfillmore5026]

Preston is the man! These vids are going to be awesome!

[@craigwilliams5342]

Thanks for the video boys. Tore my bicep tendon and messed up my rotator cuff 3 years ago. Did full rehab and now do rubber band exercises every morning when I get up so I can keep shooting my bow. I’m adding both these exercises to my morning routine. Shooting 60lbs now and want to get up to 65lbs plus for next season. Keep up the good work fellas.

[@raymondtapatu6869]

As always you have awesome information Dan appreciate all your hard work 👍🤙

[@doddsoutdoors]

👊🏼

[@bradheni2216]

Great advice for everyone. I am a lefty and had my left rotator cuff repaired in 2016. My right one has been torn for 2 years and needs repaired. Trying to hold a bow and stabilize it is near impossible anymore. Needless to say my groups suck! You are never to young or old to take care of your shoulders!

[@zacharyhilliard3929]

Soooooo helpful after my two shoulder injuries now I know what to do. Huge thanks

[@user-vi1mz7du5x]

I want to start archery to fix my shoulders from years of body contact. I love archery it’s zero impact shoulder therapy Much love for you guys

[@rfcorreiaiv]

good stuff! well done coach!

[@jons7e]

the warm up excercises really helped my shoulder, especially in the cold weather

[@Vinnys_vids]

I live in western WA I hope to come visit spokane valley archery soon your videos have helped me a lot. Thanks for sharing.

[@thomasvanderhoff768]

Shot 71 pounds ,after hurting my shoulder went to 50 pounds and the last 8 deer I shot through the heart. My point is you won’t believe how accurate you can shoot at low poundage. I set up my stands for 20 to 30 yard shots ,for white tail. Been bow hunting 40 + years ,at 60 years of age.

[@FlyinFryman]

Dang! 🎉 yea Thought that was super good clean shots , and good critiques, and out there, very nice you guys do it well!

[@wesleymalik5132]

That looks like an older Stan Perfex heavy metal. I've got one of those and had that exact problem, sporadically not going off. Stan fixed it free of charge, no questions asked. Great company

[@perryknetter8577]

Thanks you Dan great video alway pickup some great tips God's Blessings

[@jimputnam7539]

Going to have to try this, especially since having shoulder surgery.

[@josephunderhile5804]

My right shoulder is destroyed, I've had one surgery, and it didn't last plus too much arthritis in there, so this is a perfect video, thanks.

[@papaschuette]

This was an awesome video. Gotta get some of those resistance bands.

[@jackbuendgen389]

I recently bought another Carter wise choice that's doing that! I need to send it in and have them fix it

[@rogerhook8002]

Hey Dan, "it's young FARTS and old Guns. Come on, get it right, from an old gun. Best wishes!

[@kendallinman606]

Loved this video especially the shoulder training. Do any of you guys recommend a easy drawing bow for someone with a shoulder problem. Don’t care about brand just smooth draw.

[@chasekingsbury8245]

Absolutely loving the content! Much appreciated, I hope you know how much we do appreciate you! Have you ever thought about doing a fitness channel? I know you’re big into fitness and I’m sure a lot of us are too, not sure if you have the time to do it but think it would be a good idea!

[@JD91909]

Im new to bow hunting this lasy year. Can u make a video about all the specs u two are talking about about the bows, like weight of arrows, draw weigh and let off. How does that all play into hunting/ shooting. Whats the difference between a bow set up for hunting and a bow set up for tac events.

[@tcblankenship3483]

Never thought I wouldn’t be able to at least shoot an ASA or IBO round when I started 30 yr ago , but now I have such back pain I barely can shoot 10 shots . It’s important to take care of your body from the jump

[@Orr_s]

Niceee! Have injuries on both shoulders from hockey my whole life, and at 32 yrs old and still playing, also being a mechanic doesnt help lol these past 2 seasons took a hit from a grade 3 AC separation on my “good shoulder” right shoulder, right handed shooter. Left had multiple dislocations since i was 15 and on

[@jacoblogsdon2850]

Dan, Why don't people use the crossover symmetry system for archery? I had shoulder issues for years with any barbell movement overhead. I bought the Crossover Symmetry system and committed to it for about 6 months and it totally changed my shoulder health, Bulletproofed shoulders. Now its just routine maintenance. I mean I see it hanging on the rig right there.

[@6saturdaysaweek]

Imagine that, knowing how to shoot is more important than the release aid type that is used. And who gets to warm up for hunting. Hunting shots are generally cold shots.

[@Huntressbow308]

Love the info! Will there be more?

[@doddsoutdoors]

Much much more!

[@kylerbowers180]

How are you liking the slider after using it for awhile?

[@josephfolsom2030]

Having a totally detached right rotor cuff, and detached Supraspenatus ( 1 of 2 upper bicep tendons ). Both issues happened at different times. I am still able to draw my bow at 60lbs without much pain as long as I draw properly rotating my elbow up and over to full draw. Is there any exercises I can do to strengthen the surrounding muscles to help out?

[@Terpedup925]

This is exactly what I needed. I hurt my shoulder a month ago. I’ve been shooting around 54 lbs (new to compound) and I got some work done on my bow and when I picked it up at that shop they set it to 70lbs and didn’t tell me. Felt like my shoulder almost ripped out of the socket

[@jackbuendgen389]

😬

[@doddsoutdoors]

👊🏼👊🏼

[@ethansoutdoorchannel4658]

Always get my stretches in and get a quick workout while shooting, but bow got stolen recently so I’m stuck holding a 20ib resistance band to simulate holding a bow

[@josephfolsom2030]

How do you “clean” a release aid?

[@brettbuckmaster5128]

Hell, I warm my shoulders up before I do squats lol

[@user-kg1st7xd4r]

Was he able to keep shooting when he was playing Sergeant Malarkey from band of brothers?

[@josephbeckman6616]

Hey Dan I was just curious how your match bowstrings are holding up after a few months of steady shooting?

[@ElkShape]

We filmed a video with a segment going over that... I think it is scheduled for next week! -DS

[@archerash6695]

I think there might be something loose on your bow Dan. Definitely a different sound from the other bow. I could be wrong but just thought Id let ya know.

[@zachs13]

That two-stage shot follow through 😅

[@tycheck8883]

Is your rest slapping Dan or is that just how your bow sounds?

[@toddwolfe1978]

The Hoyt is noticeably quieter than the new mathews

[@mitchimal]

Let me guess.. That release was a Stan that failed?? That's happened to me and 3 others with a Perfex. Read a bunch more online but Stan won't admit it's a fault. Nothing wrong with the spring. We changed them out but still failed

[@chee75]

i like him he shoot good as me

[@dansmith8933]

What happened to Jake Webb ?

[@user-il9ip8no2o]

You need to eat more spaghetti to shoot better in fact.

[@michaelpoplawski3246]

I'm disappointed that you waited until the end of the video to actually present the training tips. While I don't mind watching the shooting clips, there are literally a crap-ton of videos you've already put out with you and your friends shooting. It would have made much more sense to lead with how to warm up properly BEFORE you presented the shooting content.

[@ElkShape]

We wanted to set up the series with us getting together, shooting bows and then we'll progressively take you through the technique and skill work necessary. I don't mind you sharing your observations by the way, but also this is my channel and I do 100% of the edits and have the final say. -DS

[@ErikMorgan-ue2ud]

I don’t like your new camera man being involved in your videos vocally. He’s too close to the camera and sounds weird. Keep him quiet lol
