I have been shooting compound most of my adult life using pure back tension releases, so the concept of using your back muscles to draw and execute a shot is one I fully understand. Still, I just got my first recurve bow and shot a little last night and it took me by surprise how much it is NOT like shooting a compound bow. I discussed my plan to buy a recurve on Archery Talk asking what pound limbs I should get. I had planned to get something in the 36-40# range since I shoot a 53# compound, but was told by many recurve shooters to go lighter. I decided on some 26# limbs and so glad I did because even at 26#, it takes some to hold and execute a shot whilst trying to use the proper technique described here. I had watched a lot of videos prior to my first attempt, including this one, and thought I had it down. Well...I did not. Don't get me wrong, I hit the target, but I can see now it will be some time before I can hit the target well enough to even think about tuning my bow. I did some basic tuning, again using some of your videos and others, and I am pretty decent bow mechanic, so I know it's close enough for me too work on form, but it will be some time before I am consistently grouping arrows. Anyway, just wanted to mention that this is an excellent video on the steps needed to shoot a recurve bow. It really takes into account what it's like to be a beginner with no experience, and the steps needed to become proficient. I am confident it's enough for me to get where I want to be, but if not I may consider signing up for more formal training. Well done and thanks !!

Sir your video is very helpful for me.Sir please make a video on physical exercise which is helpful in shooting.

[@playyourway2963]

thank you sir

[@dmouse522]

I've tried many many visualizations to keep the release and follow through in shape. For whatever reason the "scratching the neck" visualization is MAGIC!! Can't thank you enough.

[@VeiusIuvenis]

When will you aim? It sounds like you aim first then continue to pull until the click and then release. Won't that pulling shakes the body?

I like that you took your shirt off for to better display your shoulders. My wife likes it too, but she's not an archer. Hmm?
