"The pin is going to float around... AND YOU NEED TO LEARN TO BE OK WITH THAT"..... Finally someone just comes out & speaks the truth. Nobody ever says that.

I just love her description of back tension shooting. After shooting for 30 years I was reminded of a few things. Great for beginners and as a review for the experienced shooter

Paige, you are an excellent teacher. Thank you.

Great video. I quit archery because of target panic, and a backtension release saved archery for me.

Fantastic info, by someone who applies what she knows and wins. No argument from me, just thanks and appreciation.

My hinge broke! Fortunately I can get it replaced under warranty, but in the meantime I have a thumb button release. I reviewed this video to make sure I was going to use back tension to execute my shot. Excellent video.

Great job Paige. Really appreciate the effort

:) Turning out to be some of my fav videos.... thx Paige ..

For what it's worth this the best explanation of releases in detail from a true professional. She's proved her skill many times and continues to do so. Very articulate in her presentation. Also, a super awesome representative of the WOMAN AMERICAN ARCHER all over the world. An added feature is she is a beautiful lady to watch making these vids.

Just discovered your channel. Best technical instruction on any channel. Good content, good explanation, good execution/editing of videos. Glad to be a new subscriber!

Great video with clear concise information. Well done!

Killin it girl! A ton of useful information in this video!

I have been doing it wrong for so many years. Cant wait to go and try some of your advice Paige! Thanks!

This video is awesome, I have looked at some many videos trying to figure out back tension..well explained ! thank you so much for this video

Great advice about keeping your hand and arm relaxed with the hinge (something I need to remember). I have that Spitfire training device and it is invaluable. I highly recommend it.

Wow. This was valuable. Thank you. So many videos about this just contain so much chatter with unclear explanations. You explained everything in a concise and straightforwaed manner. Awesome.

Awesome job Paige !

I have been working on my back tension thanks so much for the video

Wow, I learned so much. Thank you for a great video!

Really good. Thank you. I was relieved to hear that its normal to mix the two styles depending on the situation and you don't have to be exclusive to one - although back tension should be the predominate way.

die beste video die ich gesehen habe über diese thema 👍

Very helpful. I’m shooting a Carter Wise Choice and love it, but feared I may hindering progress. Thanks for the reassurance in using thumb trigger as a hinge. Currently shooting 297-298 on the 5 spot. That 300 is so close. Keep up the videos Paige, great and easy to learn advice👍🏼

Thank you Paige. I learned a lot from this video.

Thank you Paige. I really needed to watch this video. I’m shooting a hinge but I’m rotating it. Thanks again 😊

Great video. Thanks Paige

Great content :) I started shooting a Hinge ( True ball BT Gold) soon after I switched to compound from recurve about 14 years ago. I had target panic so bad I simply could not use a thumb trigger without punching it. Back then people in my club used to laugh at me as no one seemed to use a hinge releases here in the UK and considered them training aids only. Oh how times have changed. I can now shoot any form of release. The hinge release with lots of blank target shooting saved me from quitting the sport all together and really taught me how to use back tension. Many of the people who used to laugh quit years ago, target panic is a killer.

Paige your an awesome teacher you explained this so we'll you are a great coach !

Great Video Paige, thanks.

Thank you Paige!

1 sign back tension is incorrect is in follow theough. The follow through should not be exaggerated, and it should be the result of good executed shots. What that means is that it shouldn't be something you do consciously. The best analogy I can explain this with is if you have a rope, and you're pulling hard. When the rope snaps, the hand doesn't stay there, instead it continues moving back. Hope this helps some of you!

Well done! Thanks

Thank you Paige😊💖

Great explanation

Well explained! Thanks

Great Video! Thank you!

Great Video's Paige!

Awsome video thank you very much !!!

You are awesome, thank you information.

Great info!

awesome content . keep it up!

I got target panic so bad the time clock is not safe if I shoot a trigger.I am training with the Nock On Silverback and even though I still get target anxiety it is forceing me to properly execute a shot.I am not as accurate with a BT release,but I am more consistent with it and I am not launching arrows off the target.This is a great video for people exploring a BT releases.

Nice Vid. Paigey!!

Thank you, very helpfull.

Great video Paige. Can you do one on shooting up/down angles with a hinge. Seems you need a shorter draw to make it work consistently.

thanks you so much !!

I understand what you are saying about back tension "and" I would use that instead of command button [Except] for the fact that I have shoulder issues and can't be steady my darn aim long enough for back tension. 🏹😭👍

Excellent explanation! clear and concise. The only thing I would add is when using back tension with thumb button or wrist / index finger trigger, spend the money and get ones with independent trigger travel and trigger tension or pressure control.

I learned this from golf. Please just trust me. Practice does not make perfect. It makes permanent. Practice the wrong things and you'll just get really good at messing it up, which can actually work really well for you. I see a lot of guys shooting, golf and guns and bows oh my. The thing is, you'll have good and bad streaks as well as days. Dont let a bad streak break you from what you know works. That being said, it can be refreshing to try new things just to get your mind right, but in the woods if you're used to a triple blade Muzzy or a Rage Trypan, roll with it. Confidence equals clean and ethical kills.

Thanks Paige,, I currently use index but am trying to learn thumb button when I'm on with it it's great, I shoot much better. I have a trust issue with my thumb button due to several misfires it's a Fang 3 finger. I want to try a Stan Perfex thumb but have to wait until my favorite pro shop opens so I can try it first before buying. Thanks again

Dallas Daily haha Tim knows I love him like a dad, that’s why I can pick on him! I was also holding his umbrella at OPA when he won and blanked that target, so I’m never going to let him live it down 😂😂😂

But I can cheat on a hinge too ? I started compound 12 month ago direct with hinge (as I hoped it’s close to my recurve shooting). The first 6 month or so I often forced the release by simple rotate. And boom. After watching more videos I understood how to let the rotation happen by apply back tension and movement backwards. Now I also got a true back-tension release and the accuracy improve quite a bit (but my muscle still need to build up; fatigue quick). Thanks for the video. Great reenforcement of basics and time for self-reflection

Great video! Got a tip for floating the pin effectively? Either my “8” is all over the place or I try to hold solid whole i shoot (which is hard) lol.

Frank Portillo that is actually the video I am releasing Monday :)

Have the trigger style release. Will try more back tension and see. Thanks for the video. (Btw a mic would help the production quality of your content, though not complaining.)

Paige I have a question, when you shoot the like Mike how many turns clockwise on set screw did you have release set at.

Great advice Paige, but I'm a Finger/Clicker shooter. Do you know of any good teachers for my style?

So are the back tension and command style for automatic or manual? I was taught to practice shooting till bullseyes become muscle memory, and have accomplished that but this sounds like machinery is added to an automatic bow instead of a straight up pull back, find your spot, and release type of shooting

One thing that helps me a whole lot when using the strap on release is an old trick I brought from my gun days. Instead of wrapping your index finger around the release trigger, use the middle of the tip section of your finger, you know, the flesh around your distal phalanges, and apply pressure in the corner between the trigger and housing. It really allows for a smooth release that will usually surprise you fairly well.

With the thumb and strap, your finger has to move to release the claws that hold the string don’t they?

But don't you have to adjust the sensitivity of the release in order for it to be activated effectively? A truBall Fang release has no spring, heavy and medium weight springs and it won't shoot with springs and if it does, it takes ages for it to go off

Has anyone ever used a TRU Ball Archery Release 3 Finger Max Hunter + Black? It's what I use and like it very much. I don't know how the others shoot but the Max Hunter is a thumb press flat lever not the one with the round thumb thing. Thanks for teaching this I have been waiting for a video like this. I do have one question though, so when I first practice this will I miss the target because I am thinking to much about the action?

John Zarn I have never used that release your talking about.. but just to clarify the round thumb button your referencing on my release can be changed out for all different shapes and sizes. There are flat, round, triangle, fat and skinny, twisty ones, basically there are a ton out there. I shoot the ones from MaTrac archery

I couldn’t get the hang of hinge I roll a button

great video! one question though, to use back tension in a wrist strap release, would you add or remove all together the trigger ? thanks!

@PaigePearceinsight

3 жыл бұрын

Well a wrist strap has to have a trigger for it to fire. The key is that instead of applying more and more pressure with your index finger you just wrap it around the trigger then don’t move it and pull.

@@PaigePearceinsight . Thanks for replying to my comment! Very much appreciate it. My question was because my index release (just like many others) Has travel and sensitivity/weight adjustments. So, I'm still trying to figure out what combo works better for me: heavy with some travel; or light with no travel; etc. Thanks!

B.E.S.T Pro tip video I have seen to date on the subject of "Back Tension" release mechanization... It isn't a back tension release unless the right technique is used.

Two things, first you are correct when you say that the index or pointer finger is more sensitive than the thumb. So why use the index finger at all?? Try the middle finger ,it will give you better alignment, a better anchor using the index knuckle just behind jaw bone below the ear and is about as sensitive as the thumb. If to command the shot properly you need to put the back tension on and let the pin float. Look for the period stability that will come then trigger the shot. It should require as much attention as clicking a mouse button.

👍👍👍

Good job ..I love you @pearge

Great Video!!! I stopped using a hinge when I saw a top level archer I won't name during 2 livesteamed events launch an arrow on the draw. He also mentioned in a seminar he launches arrows into the rafters a couple times a year. Also, some punch themselves in the face when it accidently goes off and end up with a bloody or broken nose, black eye or broken front tooth. Where I come from having a shot go off unexpectedly, during the draw or letdown (not aimed shot) isn't acceptable and is dangerous. Doing that at a rifle range would probably get you thrown out. Imagine a rifle round leaving the range while shouldering the rifle. Just my thoughts on the hinge which I have many and many thousands of shots using. Not saying not to use one either but something to think about.

@@PaigePearceinsight Paige, have a question for you if you don't mind, it's about your bow rear stabilizer. I notice many of the current target bows have a rear stabilizer mount at the bottom of the riser. I see you have your rear stab mounted there. I also noticed Mike Schlosser has his rear mounted with the front just below the grip but it points down. Do you notice more stability with the weight mounted on the bottom, kinda like the ballists in the bottom of a sail boat to keep it from tipping over? Thanks!!

Bob Johnson for me personally I like the weight lower. It feels way heavier the higher you put it on the bow. The weights are all so personalized that I would recommend trying it both ways and see what you think because it’ll definitely give you a different sight picture!

@@PaigePearceinsight Paige, Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question. I never would have thought of your perspective on lower makes the bow feel lighter. Very interesting. I used to have my bow neutral for years to keep from grabbing the grip after the shot. One day I took 1 weight off the back and was able to hold on target with no movement for 3 days. Then I tried to fine tune it and lost the feel and never got it back again. You just gave me motivation to make a new combo stabilizer mount for my target bow. Great info!!

Hii paige Vedio was very useful but i would like if you explained it with live vedio of compound releasing...

@@stacypearce5004 I understand.....Complete confidence of steel is hard to come by when using a hinge back tension release. Most have to find a middle ground to be comfortable.

Let me tell you who mastered command style shooting in the compound world. Frak and Becky Pearson. Along with every Olympic recurve shooter. Yeah I sound like an ass here. But i would bet if you contacted cabe at spot hogg archery and bought a hooter shooter you would find out no matter how hard you pull on the release, It will never go off. Your wrist and fingers will not give unless told to do so. I have argued with George, Bernie and many other on this. You should video from the stands and see all the archer do this wrong. They shake like a dog shitting razor blade as they pull. often causing a push pull offset. i would suggest you video your release hand. Or having someone who can detect muscle movement in your release hand. You have to relax one part or nothing will happen. Keep pulling with back tension is a myth. Your only holdig even pressure between your shoulders for true forward and backward motion when the bow goes off.

I also call bullshit on command shooting. Every rifle shooter knows they are applying pressure to the trigger. Same with your release. No index or thumb pressure no shot execution. Sme for a cam over release. What one may call a B.T. release. I know more archer pull with the fingers on the pivot back side to activate this release. The better archers relax the index finger. If you still disbelieve try it . Or ask Sergio who shoots a relaxed thumb from spot hogg. Send us a close up vid of your thumb and wrist or a cam over shot. I can pick it apart to see what moves. Buy the best camera you can afford to show exactly you B.T. methods!

Why do people say panic? Where is the panic? Why are people panicking? I don't understand this is archery. You just practice keeping still and buy a good stab. Why would I want to not know when my shot is going off? I can't wrap my head around this for the life of me. I think after shooting for 20 years its like teaching an old dog new tricks lol

Kind of disappointing... You just say "establish your grip, set your finger/thumb never and don't move it again," (nothing/no info) "push, pull, and the shot goes off!" Nobody on KZread does a proper job of explaining how, once your trigger finger is locked in place, that finger is ever going to cause the shot to go off. I infer that you're just digging the body of the release in to the flesh of your grip digits, (or wrist strap in to your wrist fat,) that little bit of extra movement actuates the trigger on your motionless finger or thumb.
