[@rcrchery]

Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching and the feedback here!

[@brianlew9559]

That's the best vid you've done, nice job and a lot was verified and learned for me here.

[@rcrchery]

Thank you, Brian! I appreciate the comment/feedback and watching the video!

[@ryan31100]

Awesome videos man. Very well Explained. Refreshing to see other people on KZbin breakdown the concepts that live in my head and are sometimes difficult to explain to people haha

[@rcrchery]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate the comment here and glad I could illustrate it!

[@csbracer9447]

You said to maintain usual posture when not slouching…I feel like my normal posture is a slouch, lol Good info!

[@rcrchery]

lol Yea that's mine normally too!

[@ColoursOfDan02]

Solid tips. How do you find those draw stops? I've been looking at them for my bowtech, they seem like the perfect solution.

[@rcrchery]

Sorry, I missed your comment somehow. Here’s a link for them: shootingtime.com/product/bowtech-draw-stops-pro-stops/

Great info brother!!

Thank you, sir!

What is the app being used for the stability score?

[@rcrchery]

It's an app and equipment from Mantis. They make different devices for firearms, archery, ect. on their website you can look through and get. Then just download the app and sync them up through bluetooth.

[@dengriff69]

Where did you mount your mantis on your reckoning? Thanks for your content!!!

[@rcrchery]

Thank you for watching! I mounted it on the top right of the riser. It doesn’t all fit on there on the side but there was a flat shelf I could get it mostly on. Top right, back corner closest to you holding the bow.

[@dengriff69]

Thanks!!! Yea I've not mounted mine on it just because there are no good spots!

[@rcrchery]

@@dengriff69 I know what you mean. So far I haven't had any issues with it falling off but we'll see how it holds up there!

[@ColoursOfDan02]

@@dengriff69 I struggled on my bowtech as well. You can mount it to your sight rail, depending on the rail. Had to be precise or it got in the way when attaching my rail.

I dip my head when at full draw because my peep height is sighted in for 50 yards as I shoot longer distances. If I put my peep height at the correct height if sighting in at 20 yards, I would have a floating anchor hand when shooting at 100%. Thoughts?

[@rcrchery]

Couple things to try. I really like a method of setting up my peep at a closer yardage and letting my jaw slack open some incrementally as the distance increases. This keeps my anchor point the same for the most part and my head position. Another thought pattern is to not worry about anchor position with the hand and just line up the peep and scope by moving the hand up and down instead of tilting the head. When we tilt the head down our front shoulder tends to want to rise up and we lose stability and connection there.

[@_BrianScott]

Robert, in your form, you seem to be leaning forwards quite a bit. Do you have more weight on your front foot vs your back foot? I tried shifting my weight forward and loading my back muscles as you described and man my pin just stopped moving.

[@rcrchery]

Hey Brian, I try to stand with even pressure between feet or slightly towards the back but I do have a tendency at times to get too much weight on the front foot. In some of these clips I was dealing with more weight on the front foot than the back though. Good eye!!

[@_BrianScott]

@@rcrchery thanks for the info! I’m only asking because I have a bad habit of leaning backwards as I start to fatigue, which ultimately leads to front shoulder issues. Trying to figure out ways to combat that.

[@rcrchery]

Try an arrow in the waistband, nock up into the armpit area on the back hip side. Helps you feel it right away. Then focus on getting the head a little over the front foot when you draw and settle to even at anchor.

[@_BrianScott]

@@rcrchery I’ll give that a shot, thank you! 🙏

[@rcrchery]

If that doesn’t work let me know!

[@jasonnester9514]

My float bounces up and and down only by alotttttttt I wish I could float in the middle I bounce all over the place It’s me I’m just a shakey dude by nature and for me my brain wants to see the x so I end up holding low nothing cures it so I just roll with it

[@rcrchery]

Is your bow shoulder seated well? That’s usually one of the reasons for bobbing Up and Down.

[@jasonnester9514]

@@rcrchery oh it sure is I’ve worked on that a ton by way your videos

[@coryedd3783]

I have this problem with too much front weight or too heavy a bow. Fighting to keep pin up

[@jasonnester9514]

@@coryedd3783 I have to run a lot of weight to slow me down I’ve tried less weight my float only gets worse

[@pvcannon2958]

Are your arrows too long?

[@rcrchery]

When I filmed this content for the arrows with grey vanes I was testing lengths and group tuning. They ended up being an inch too long.

[@Jack-z2f8c]

My bow is close to 12 pounds

tip of the year boy and girls,,,, now your at full draw ,,, ok your bow hand and fingers are completly relaxed ,,, " at full draw " ,,, release hand " at full draw " it's kind a wierd ,, relax it after stettling in on your ancor point , squezzz it easy or use back tension ,,,, this is for target ,,, for hunting ,,, get on the deer , find your kill zone and punch like a MF ,,,,,,,,,
