HOW TO DEAL WITH ARCHERY SHOOTING FRUSTRATION

[@h2tym]

I have it frequently. So glad you made this video. My wife asked “Do you actually like shooting the bow?” I do, but not when I can’t figure out why my shot isn’t working!

[@nockonarchery]

Ha! Keep up the good work!

[@swart_wit_pens]

"The only arrows you can control are the ones still in your quiver." That's wisdom. 🙌

I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video sir, Thank you and have a blessed week. Dale

Tell me about frustration: two weeks ago I had my first team shooting (recurve) and during the elimination round my upper nock point departed from my string. Made it difficult for me to release the arrow in a half-way controlled manner. Let to early elimination of my team. Bad feeling on my side as you can imagine. Was a nice reminder that for me archery might be better a solo-sport as I don’t like to be the success limit for a team that way. As solo shooter I only need to blame myself. And that one is a bit easier to manage, I think.

I actually laughed out loud. Hunting with a bow for me has been an emotional roller-coaster over the years. I tell people I do it because I love it, you have to. The blown stalks, the animals just out of range the long waits. There's not much to like sometimes but I love it

[@nockonarchery]

It can definitely be a roller coaster ride but once you have experienced it, it does become such a passion!

A couple years back I left a three D shootdown frustrated. Told myself I'd never shoot another command shot and I'd work to incorporate your system of pulling the elbow toward a wall behind me. I'm less frustrated shooting and a heck of a lot better. Shot eight up on a challenging course two days ago. I watch all your productions and credit you for my improvements. Dud, you are helpful and I appreciate it more than you know. Thanks. You are a great coach.

[@nockonarchery]

Way to go Roger! I am so pumped to hear this and I am proud of you for staying strong and working through your issues the correct way. NICE JOB!

[@kencolton4464]

Boy that video struck a nerve you are so right going to reset thank you for that those encouraging words

[@nockonarchery]

Glad to hear, Ken! Hit that reset button and get after it!

[@BlueWidow2010]

TAC Michigan in the morning. Took the day off work to shoot with my wife and son. I could miss every target and still have a great day. But thanks for the pep talk.

[@nockonarchery]

Glad you are loving archery!

[@jonheatlie3809]

I shot a 3d this past weekend. Broke 3 and lost 2. It happens. I have learned from you that your best shot is your next shot. I always try and focus on the shot process you have explained and put the anger in the quiver. I don’t shoot x’s cause they make me feel good, but I sure try😉thanks for yet another great video!

[@nockonarchery]

Well said Jon! Keep up the good work!

[@johncannady6105]

I just had this exact thing happen to me in PA on the NockOn Course! It really ate at me the whole day! Appreciate the video!

[@bwagner71]

man that Nock On course had a few DOOZIES!! It was my favorite course by far though. I can't wait to be back on that hill next year!!

[@johncannady6105]

@@bwagner71 I agree. Planning on going back as well. Hope we get the same weather! It was perfect Friday-Sunday!

[@allywilkeforsenate]

Archery is my zen place that takes away my frustrations.

[@christianbrienesse]

Watching this at 4am after the most frustrating shoot yesterday in a competition and now low on confidence (my worst session by quite some distance in my eight months of archery).

[@laramie7364]

Good video. I just had it this evening

[@joshzoccoli3512]

Spot on. Thank you!

[@tsa2191]

Great advice!

[@nockonarchery]

Glad it was helpful!

[@williamworkman1468]

Dude I appreciate your advice.

[@nockonarchery]

Thanks, William. I hope it helps!

[@ВладимирПрименко-о5б]

We need to check the synchronization when it arrives like this .The lower block comes later, the arrow flies higher, that's all. .

[@White_devil1980]

Thanks great advice 🥳

[@nockonarchery]

You bet, Robert!

[@kaoskiller1022]

What type of arrows are you using I’m looking for the four fletched kind

[@nockonarchery]

I use both the Nock On Signature Easton Axis and FMJ arrows that you can find at nockonarchery.com. We do offer pre-fletch so they come to you cut, fletched and ready to go. Good luck!

[@ebertherrera8312]

LMAO... I thought I was the only nut that talks to his arrows. Good to know I´m not alone.

[@nockonarchery]

You are not alone, brother! Keep On Nockin' and Keep On Talkin'!

[@russelllangworthy8855]

Archery is 90% mental.

[@zoktoberfest]

Golfers have a similar choke condition known as the YIPS... dare I even say the word. Playing well the real potential to shoot a personal best ...but, the gimme putts stop going automatically in as usual. What should be a one putt becomes two and what be two becomes three putting. I know this from personally and it destroyed my confidence and even the love of the game for time. The better the golfer the bigger the toll it takes. A good golfer should make most of their makable putts

[@markwest8960]

All of my arrows would be in TIMEOUT...lol!

[@SeanDude76]

🤘🏻

[@peetsmit5530]

Sometimes that 1 arrow just really want to go to and stay in the bush. Sometimes you have to give your arrows their way...

[@atalayefeangin]

Support comment ;)

[@hawaiiangunner]

Golf is way worse!!!! And me losing my marbles snapping my driver over my knee is a lot cheaper than throwing my bow across the room!!!!!😅😆😂😂

[@michaelcolthart4006]

Golfers talk about the importance of a short memory….

[@nockonarchery]

100%!
