Your the only person that has explained it so simple made sence all the other ive watched started telling you a story about there life.

Thank you so much. This advice alone has massively changed my form.

Great video! Thank you for taking your time and share so many tips with us! Learning a lot with you

Again a very clear explanation about something basic that should be known from first class but that from my experience is not often the case in small clubs. Since I watch your channel I made huge improvements on my technique and on my score. Thanks a lot. Keep it that way!

Very good video, and best explanation for bow hand positioning I ever saw. Not sure if it’s the 101 version of “how to hold a bow” but I personally love all the details you include. 👌🏻

Yes is it not ironic how we say not to grip, twist and tourqe the bow /grip? When the tourqe on and from the pressure point is what you need to direct the bow, like tires on a car, so grip acctualy means exactly that , but when we say it People go automaticly to how they grab(grip) hold the bow or the little misshapen Plastic thing

Thanks! That's a good point, I might've gotten a bit carried away there...

Nice

This is like perfectly on-time-advice 👌 However, I found out that very important mistake is having forefinger knuckle too much above the shelf, which can cause clearance issues causing curious right impacts on target.

Thank you! How would be the grip in a hunting bow, that usually it is not used with finger sling?

Really like your teaching, very clear and detailed. A question, the elbow of the bow hand is pointing down, or slightly sideway?

@OnlineArcheryAcademy

Thanks! Ideally the inside face of the elbow joint should be flat, so that the elbow faces directly into the camera when viewed from the side (i.e. elbow not facing the ceiling. I've done a full video on that too so if you search 'elbow' on my channel it should come up :)

Which stabiliser is good for recurve bow

It's really useful. Now I understand... I'm using it for Oly recurve and barebow. Thanks, Ashe. Someone did ask about eye dominance.. I sm cross-dominance...righthanded. and I close/squint my left eye but some people say it's better to use both eyes... What are your thoughts?

@OnlineArcheryAcademy

It's definitely better to use both eyes if you can! But sounds like that might not be an option. Blocking one eye could work, that way you can keep both open and relaxed but still aim correctly :)

Thanks for the good video on how to hold the bow. When i release the arrow the fletches are hitting my bow hand fore arm. Please help me how to correct this mistakes.

Thanks for the video. I am a compound archer who recently took up Oly Recurve. I’m so used to a low grip from many years of compound but find that I tend to heel the bow more on the recurve. I’m pretty sure that my recurve has a factory installed medium grip. Do you use a medium or high grip and would you say with a high grip, you are less likely to torque the bow vs a medium or low grip?

@OnlineArcheryAcademy

Good question - it depends on the interplay between grip height and stabiliser setup. I wouldn't recommend one or the other without seeing you shoot, but would definitely encourage you to play around a lot - trying different heights and not being afraid to make your own grip and experiment is the way forwards :)

Ive been holding the bow with my dominant hand 😂 hopefully I can retrain my brain to hold it in my left!

What about of eye dominance?

Do you suggest a grip customization, and how?

@OnlineArcheryAcademy

3 жыл бұрын

Definitely! Here's a blog post I wrote about how to do it: www.onlinearcheryacademy.com/how-to-make-custom-grip-recurve-bow/

Where is it available?

I feel like my bow riser is to wide unless it’s just poor user etc, I have a problem with my wrist wanting to kink

I am a lefty, but my coach insists that it’s better for me to hold the bow with my left hand and to release the arrow with my right hand. I am not sure if this right. But, I am following his instructions as he is the expert and I am just a newbie. I am afraid that after time of training with my right hand holding the bow, I discover that I should been holding the bow with my right hand and release with my left. any advices?

What if I make a 4 finger "fist" on the left of the grip?

@OnlineArcheryAcademy

A fist sounds a little too tight...I'd say try not to allow the finger tips to touch the palm of the hand :)

Can we use eye blinders in recurve arvhety

@OnlineArcheryAcademy

3 жыл бұрын

You can use an eye patch if you need to :)

Why are recurve grips so much more wide then compound? A few Compound coaches say that a wider grip give the bow more probability of hand torque… is that true? I feel that a larger more flat surface is easier to push straight then a narrow surface

So I've only just realised that my lifeline is mutated 😅 it's split in two, and I've a lot closer on of a lifeline to the thumb/pad area than many people and that's caused me to have consistent errors in my bowhand, feeling weak and shooting pains up the wrist, and unable to point thumb

If im right handed, should i buy a right bow or left bow?

@OnlineArcheryAcademy

If you're right handed, you need a RH bow :) But you will hold it in your left hand!

for me, its index finger pointing downwards and thumb relatively pointing forward.
