Things that gave me better results

[@JudahRemnant]

Great video... I bought my first bow from Alvarado Archery about a year ago.

[@arrowsup]

Nice, what did you get?

Great choice

[@JudahRemnant]

@@arrowsup what yardage do you practice at the most?

[@arrowsup]

Depends, right now it’s indoor season so 20. When ASA starts it’s 40 and when field starts its 40-80.

[@MichaelB-xg7ic]

Good work dude. Bought my first bow there in Alvarado.

[@arrowsup]

It’s a great shop. I’m glad I started at Alvarado

[@jasonnester9514]

Good stuff

[@Lrn2reason]

Ever since I started bow hunting I practice 2x my kill distance. That started at 40 yards (20 yard longest shot from the stand). I've slowly worked my way up to 80+ yard practice. What I've discovered is that when you normally shoot such a long distance, the ability to shoot precision at 20 yards has increased dramatically.

[@arrowsup]

Really? In target archery they tell you to start short and work your way out. With field archery we get out to 80yds. I’m going to try your way though and see if it helps me.

[@Lrn2reason]

​@@arrowsup​I would agree with what they say in target archery, definitely start short and work out. My addendum would be continue working out shooting longer and longer distances until you are shooting farther than the typical range you would during a tournament. The things you discover at 60 through 80 yards help you at 20. For example, the slightest error in form shows up there in much greater detail than at 20. I have a hard time pulling the shot left and have been working on that for awhile now - that pull doesn't really show up at the 20 yard mark. But when I shoot 80 yards and consistently group left of target I can see it. I blame the sight half the time =)

[@arrowsup]

Highly agree and it’s why I say field archery shows you what kind of archer you are because everything matters. I learned so much about myself shooting field.

[@ahronlong9846]

Agreed. When it comes to holding steady nothing helped me more than shooting much longer distance.

[@Gibsonlife573]

Hey look at that close up in the video we are looking at your left side your left eye if you look at the video look at your shoulder it's creeping up and out of the socket which will make you leak pressure and make you wobbly as hell you want to keep that boat shoulder down and away

[@arrowsup]

I have big shoulders. I use to power lift and it definitely looks that way but I tell everyone that watched me in person to put their finger where that dip will be if I were rolling my shoulder over when i come to full draw. However since this video I’ve shot my first 300 in competition and it was all because I learned to flatten that shoulder out more. So you’re not wrong.

[@prestonm.7823]

Congrats on the top 4!!

[@arrowsup]

Thank you. It was a great moment for me

[@demunbell]

Nice fam!!

[@arrowsup]

Alvarado

[@demunbell]

@@arrowsup yes sir!! I saw it on the wall later in the vid! I'm in GP, I shot at Legacy & Irving Bowhunter Asso. Hit me up for some friendly shootouts 🤙🏿👍🏿🏹

[@arrowsup]

IBA was my intro to field archery. Definitely always looking to shoot and meet good ppl

[@russell_sureshot]

Draw length is the biggest killer

[@arrowsup]

I learned that a lot of ppl have the wrong draw length because they don’t know and or have poor mobility. So they’re running long DL to be comfortable

[@brucehillbillybarthalow3786]

Nice.what's the distance

[@arrowsup]

Indoor so it’s 20yds

[@rockyreynolds4027]

If you are in Plano Tx then look up Michael Braden he’s in your area

[@arrowsup]

He’s retired. One of his students is someone I shoot with.

[@rockyreynolds4027]

@@arrowsup I use to shoot with ole Mike but he was going to still do lessons

[@arrowsup]

Shooting with his students. They told me that he’d change everything. He knows his way and that’s it. No matter my body type etc and there’s no way I can shoot the prototypical archer way. When I first started a yr and half ago I was thinking about it

[@caseyfenlon2238]

Hey man, new subscriber here, really awesome channel with true content. I’m struggling with punching my Stan thumb button. I can hold dead nuts on the target but as soon as my thumb gets on that barrel I panic…sounds similar to what you were going through. I’m thinking about taking your advice and trying a hinge, never fired one. Any other advice? Awesome content man, keep it up

[@arrowsup]

Breathing helps with those mental dips when you make the conscious choice of starting your shot activation. Also holding strong through that decision and knowing it’s ok that the pen moves. Don’t let that send you into a panic. Hold strong, keep starting at the middle, then pen will come back and just keep squeezing

[@kpnike9794]

Hello man, i would recommend a tension release. It would help working on your technique and also remove the component of target panic.

[@alishamykea]

Good video, easy to understand !

[@arrowsup]

My goal is to simplify as best as I can. I make the videos I wish I were out there for me when I started

[@Gibsonlife573]

Man I don't know if you have ever checked out John Dudley but he is an amazing coach and so is George Rayls he actually coached our paralympic team I believe also coaches will did Coach I don't know if he does it anymore what is called the Blue Hornets both of them give great advice like a lot of people don't pay enough attention to the back of the arrow the release hand that's what we in trouble also cuz if the back of that arrow is affected at all you ain't hitting the center also that's why a lot of guys run a lot of holding weight it's because the tighter that string is the less affected it will be at full draw if you take a bow that has six or eight 10 pounds of open weight you could push on the string and full draw and it is wobbles left to right Josh beaumar does a thing on that showing it

[@arrowsup]

I’m a student of this sport because I love it. I know of them both. Actually plan to get George out to Alvarado. I got Joel Turner to come earlier this year.

[@hossthomas]

Have you ever used a thumb release? I'm thinking about swimming from a wiseguy to a thumb release. What would you recommend? Thanks man and great video

[@arrowsup]

Yes, I have a uv button and a B3 versa pro as well. I recommend either one

[@hossthomas]

@@arrowsup thanks man

[@gorankorovljevic810]

What you use pin or dots in your Optum?

[@arrowsup]

Pin

[@Gibsonlife573]

A lot of professionals will tell you you don't want no pressure in your Bow hand some of them say they do shoot tension in their Bow hand so I think it's pretty much whatever fits for you whatever hits the center now far as Push Pull that's different I'm talking about like having a tight hand having a tight forearm type of thing man I appreciate the hell out of the video

[@arrowsup]

It definitely is. That’s the old school way and it works best for me. In competition folks tend to become weak in their hold. Since my body is wider because of mass it’s better skeletal alignment for me to get my chest up, squeeze my back together like I’m doing a chest up. It gives me a more controlled shot.

[@alikalfaoglu8633]

Depends on the release aid you choose, I'm using resistance release and you feel considerable pressure on your bow hand automatically. Whatever type of release you use, I guess you should not have a tight bow hand so that you do not manipulate the direction on the last millisecond arrow lifting off..

[@JS-ji5bl]

Good shooting bro 👍🏻✌🏻

[@arrowsup]

Much appreciated. My form feels like it’s always developing. Just scored my 1st 300 in competition yesterday.

[@JS-ji5bl]

@@arrowsup that's awesome man..👍🏻🎯

[@AnalogAssassin1]

Great video man. Got a sub out of me on this, I will be going through past videos and clicked the bell for future offering's. Take care and good luck in future competitions.

[@arrowsup]

Much appreciated.
