    If you don't want to break your phone with this drill, just hold your finger tab, squeeze the spacer as normal, but take off the strap.

    I have been doing archery for 3 years now, and been consistent for a year now in archery trainings. Anchor and release have always been a problem for me (perfect example like here 4:02 ; 7:40). Recently I changed most of my technique - starting with posture, set-up, etc, and one of the problems was muscles being all tense and not relaxed starting with a grip and wrist rotated wrong and not straight, which later was a simple chain reaction to everything else. Now I try to make my shot more relaxed, by using back muscles, without trying to involve my draw arm, so it's relaxed through the shot. Thanks to this video I saw all my mistakes I did before. Keep it up NUSensei, see you next time! 💪🏼

    Thx very helpful. An old timer coach had mentioned to me that he twist his release hand in a bit like the 3rd finger to get the string aligned in the pocket of the tab or crooks of the knuckle. He shoots three under. This is also to incress the pressure ratio on the 3rd finger maybe for heavier bows.

    Thanks for pointing out about using the first joint in your fingers rather than using the finger pads itself. My coach was trying to get me to shoot from the finger pads which I found rather difficult and felt that the string would slip off at any moment when I come to full draw (I usually shoot from the first finger joint anyway) Needless to say that the back tension is a working progress at the moment

  • @evanbracken7694

    I'm new to archery and have relyed on KZread tutorials expressing each link involved with the of necessity form. Release is one of them, with a suggested of a second anchor point after "dropping the bucket" with your fingers visiting your ear. I can't argue that may be a good thing to do, but I could never figure out how to get there.Your video actually showed the resonsibility of fingers with the import of a clean release.

A nit-pick @8:28 I don't think it's contradictory to focus on relaxation of your hand. It's a mental effort to release tension with a part of your body.

Does such expansion vary the draw length? How does one avoid the natural left drift of the bow arm with balanced expansion (push-pull of bow and string)? Thanks for your great work.

    I did this drill about a month ago with my coach! While we didn't use a phone, we used my finger tab without the finger strap. That way, it forces you to squeeze the spacer and have a proper release. The tab will still fall if you force the release. Doesn't risk the phone but is just as frustrating when the finger tab falls out of your fingers! XD

    Ok me tip I discovered for getting a good hand, wrist, and elbow alignment is to use a training bungie or the assembled bow and go through the process while looking at a mirror. Some people learn better if they see their form problems with their own eyes. This applies to many skills and sports where having good form is necessary.

    I'm having a problem now with clean release, many years after I started doing archery. That reason is: finger savers. I started getting neurological damage where my fingertips remained numb for 24-48 hours after an archery session, even when I was using finger protecting glove (I shoot a 48 lb recurve bow). So I put finger savers on the string in addition to glove, and my releases were OK, but were pretty sloppy as sometimes finger savers would catch onto the glove a bit. So I took the glove off and this is where the issue started. I ended up plucking the string, because it subjectively felt like the string will roll away from me unless I grip it very tight. The only way I was able to avoid this is using only 2 fingers to draw and release, which still puts a considerable amount of pressure on my fingers, a bit more than I'm comfortable with. My dilemma now is to learn to release cleanly with 3 finger draw and with finger savers. I don't think I'll risk my phone though. Will probably try a less expensive object, just in case. Personally, I had immense success with caliper releases, even though they're meant for compound bows and I wonder if I should just stick to that method.

    You can do a clean release if you don't wrap your entire finger around the string. Pull the string just with the tip of your fingers. Pulling the string with the inner part of your knuckles that's just wasting time and effort for nothing. It just gets in the way. If you use the tip of your fingers it's just as secure as using half your fingers. Your releasw will be cleaner and easier too

    I dont move my hand at all when I release. Once I get the arrow and string pulled back, its anchored at a certain spot on my face every time. Never moves. This technique helps me a lot. Im gonna have to try that phone technique though. Im not sure if Im forcing my fingers or twisting the string..

    Love your videos! You seem like an awesome teacher. Are you in the states? I need to change teachers. The one I currently go to uses flogging as a disciplinary tool. One time he caught me pulling an inch short on my draw, and he gave me 25 lashes!! My back took weeks to heal. I understand he’s serious about archery, but a less stressful atmosphere would be nice.
