    Absolutely spot on re "shot IQ" in my opinion ! Someone is laughing all the way to the bank with all that highfalutin waffle, eh ? Good for you, someone had to go public with a negative exposing all that overcomplicated jargon. I have been around archery since before most on here were born & seen it all, but wouldn't miss any of your no nonsense unbiased reviews. Yes, like many compounders , I have had a severe dose of the dreaded TP, so now almost a dedicated hinge shooter; currently the new Scott Select, (no click) which I really do like. Quite frankly, this Stan click on a trigger idea seems a total gimmick, however, if it works for someone, go for it. BTW, I'm in sunny Adelaide South Australia, but spider bites here are a rare occurrence. 😬

As for target panic and choice of equipment, The beauty of archery is the variety of choices we have in equipment and technique, and while no one single method works for everyone, they all have the potential to produce good results. I will reject anyone who says their way is the only way, and especially someone who claims the more someone practices, the worse they become.

    Thank you for watching and for the sub. I really appreciate the support and will try to bring out more content and contribute to the discussion. As for Joel Turner and Shot IQ, I think the general principles of his lessons make sense and could certainly be beneficial to some. Everyone has a different background in shooting sports, and most are self-taught (so there is a lot of potential to develop odd habits). There's good info there, but a lot of it is buried under jargon. The things I'm inclined to push back on are the practice of making up your own names for things that already have mutually understood names (I just touched on that with my Dialed Arxos review) or needlessly overcomplicating the language. I know I talk a lot in my reviews, but I don't write my scripts so a viewer needs to keep an encyclopedia open on their phone to understand my points. I heard from a few people that Joel acts differently when the cameras are turned off, but his "on-screen" demeanor is just off-putting for me. The other thing I will push back on is that he professes that his way is the only way to be accurate and consistent. It works for me (though I figured it out on my own) but it isn't going to work for everyone. Anyway, thanks again for watching, and good luck in your journey 👍.

    Thank you, and thanks for watching. Up until this point I've been of the mindset to use a larger thumb barrel because it wasn't as important to get a consistent placement (my thumb was just providing friction against the barrel as I squeezed). Now it makes more sense to go with the smaller one so I can settle it into the crease under the pad. Everyone has their sweet spot. You'll find yours eventually 👍

    @@richardswett8458 a couple things to check are the amount of pressure each finger is applying on the draw. It's easy to change the angle of the release and the position of the thumb barrel if your index finger is more tense on one shot, and more relaxed on another. One thing I learned from shooting shotguns that carries over into archery is "the mount". When you draw your bow, commit to doing it in a specific set of steps and movements, and do it the same way every time. I set my feet, draw the bow away from my face with the pin level with the target, pull my release hand into my anchor, and dip my head slightly to drop my nose onto the string (didn't notice that part until I took video of myself; it's a exactly how I shoulder a shotgun). If you develop your "mount" and stick to it, you'd be surprised how easily everything lines itself up (anchor point, peep sight, pin on target) Making adjustments based on the feel at full draw is also important (I can set it where I "think" I need it sitting at my desk, and then have to change it significantly once I start using it). I hope you find success and the consistency you seek. If there's anything I can do to help or any visualizations I can provide for the stuff I just mentioned, please let me know.

    I agree Joel does use "lingo" and Jargon that makes him sound like a scientist... But if you cut thru the fancy language and get to the brass tacks or what he is saying its this... ~have a shot process that is pre-determined and performed with every shot always. ~Dont stress when your pin floats. No-one can hold anything perfectly still. ~Your brain knows what you are aiming at and will return the pin to center over and over ~Talk yourself thru your shot with verbal cues Ive taken a clinic with him and this is what he teaches. And it works to get rid of target panic. The best Ive ever shot is timing the pin and punching a trigger...It can be very accurate... Until it wasn't on one arrow. Now I get a surprise release and my groups are good, but my bad arrows are not so bad either.

    Hello and thank you for watching. That is precisely what I was getting at. The lessons can have value for some, but he's dressing up relatively simple concepts with a lot of unnecessary technical jargon. I can speculate on his motives for overcomplicating the language, but I'll never know for certain. He also doesn't seem to address muscle memory and our mind's ability to adapt to stimuli with consistent exposure (at least in the content I've seen; I don't know if the course covers it). He doesn't currently advocate for a "surprise shot", but I think if it works for you and you can do it most consistently, then good on you for taking control of your shot process 👍

    I shoot my thumb release as you described. I want the barrel on the hardest part of my thumb. I equate that to having a bow with a solid back wall. If I have a soft or should I say not solid back wall I have trouble getting a thumb to fire. Same thing with my thumb, I find that the large barrels defeats the purpose. I’m actually contemplating putting on a thumb peg from one of my old Colby 2 releases for something smaller, which is going to take some fabrication. As of yet I haven’t come up with a good idea. Definitely going to need a different post.

    @@ajbholsters2035 I use the first knuckle. I’ve tried other positions but didn’t like the results. I shoot a medium Stan SX2. I set up the thumb barrel so it touches the first knuckle with the tip of my thumb touching my index finger. That way I keep the rotation of my release more consistent. I also keep my barrel set pretty short. If I have set up long it feels like the pressure is more upward than going back. I know a lot of people like long and you can shoot it that by lightening up the trigger. If you get a chance watch Page Pearce shoot a thumb trigger. Page is the most interesting shooter today. She has claimed many top podiums using a index, thumb and hinge. Not many archers can claim that.

They could add extra movement to the thumb barrel like I did with the Carter Anti Freeze trigger shoe, or the case might have an extra hump on it like the Clicker. It's also going to be very expensive, but release aids have a much longer shelf life in terms of the perception of the public (or at least the ones who constantly change their equipment to stay current). So I think whoever does it first might win the market for a while.

    Thank you for watching. You're partially correct. Some of what I've seen outside of the paywall puts into words what a lot of people with prior shooting experience already know. His premise about your mind not allowing itself impact as a surprise is fundamentally wrong. Practice, repetition, and sensory adaptation can help you adjust to stimuli that would otherwise jar you if you weren't accustomed to it, even if you're the one causing it. The method is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You stop flinching at the report of a firearm and its recoil the more often you shoot it. If you want to stay calm in a tense situation, you put yourself in situations that cause tension, and your body and mind adapt to it or you learn the skills to manage it. A sample size of one does not prove that a system will work for everyone, especially since most of us are not a blank slate (which Bodie probably was). That was one point I was trying to make, and I will always push back on the idea that there is only one way to do something. Everyone's mind works differently and prior experience with similar disciplines is going to result in crossovers of technique. Some people are ok with a "surprise shot", and some people aren't. Some people can smash the trigger and hit right where they point. Others can't. Both sides are capable of winning. The part that annoys me is how the information is presented. I don't like when a presenter loads up a segment with lots of technical jargon when it could be worded more simply. If you want to know the whole psychological breakdown of why your brain does what it does, then that's fine. My brain interprets it as the content either being made needlessly complicated to justify its pricetag, or the need of the presenter to be the smartest person in the room. Maybe it's just me, but I'm fairly certain I'm not alone in this thinking. Now that I've said that, if you believe his methods are beneficial, then I would not begrudge anyone from utilizing it to improve accuracy and consistency. We're not competing for customers, so him having a product I don't sell or offer does not affect my feelings towards it.

    It seems like everyone is looking for a single answer to the question of "what is the best method of shot execution?" Unfortunately there isn't one. It makes helping someone else figure things out more difficult (especially if they already have ideas of their own), but the best any of us can do is explain the available options and talk about which one works best for us. I will say, though, that "accepting the float" is something everyone needs to embrace. It doesn't matter how strong a person is; they're never going to get that pin to stop moving long enough to loose the arrow. The OnneX Clicker can be set up like a regular thumb release by setting it for minimal travel. You lose the click, but you gain a very short, crisp break.

    Why do people want to use the moving the thumb technique? Set the barrel and shaft up so there’s a CLOSED LOOP allowing the thumb or thumb tip? to rest in the same location/ position repetitively. This helps or does remove the variable of where the barrel rides on the thumb. When under draw weight load ALL you need to do is pull. There will be no conscious thought of “ ok, it’s time thumb, begin to move” or “ ok, fingers, time to begin the rotation”. With ENOUGH serious thought out practice shots you will come to a point where the shot will break on its own AS THE PIN floats in its smallest movement. It will become practically “ automatic “. And when it all comes together as I’ve described that arrow will undoubtedly hit right behind where that pin was for that microsecond the release broke. Guaranteed! Don’t have to believe me- TRY IT FOR YOURSELF! 👍👍👍👍👍

    People might want to use their thumb to pull the trigger on a thumb release for a variety of reasons. They might be accustomed to that motion and are more consistent with it as opposed to back tension. That's their option, and it might work well for them. No one method is superior than any other. As for me, my thumb is too short to reach my index finger when I'm at anchor without shifting my grip. I also don't get the feel on a command shot I prefer by using a pull-through method with my thumbs. If I'm going to use back tension for all my shots, I might as well use my hinges.

Itis a continuation of my process with my back muscles and bow arm. I DO NOT move my wrist, hand, fingers of thumb except by the slippage of the release on my skin. Moving any part of the hand requires REMOVING YOUR BRAIN FROM THE SIGHT PICTURE for the microsecond to tell your hand etc to rotate or some other time wasting event. Set up the release where it becomes a f8xed part of your hand. Learn to NOT MOVE ANY PARTS. LEARN to activate by pulling thru with a command you began long ago in the firing process. This way your mind can focus down range where you need to be. I’m no pro but I have learned this technique,for me, is the most simple and repeatable way.

    Hello and thank you for watching. You are advocating activating your thumb release with back tension as the most effective method of shot execution for yourself. That's fine, but it's not guaranteed to work for everyone. I don't believe there is one perfect method of shot execution that will work for every person, and the beauty of archery is that different methods can produce repeatable results. I use back tension with my hinges and pull the triggers on my thumbs. That's how they work best for me. If I'm going to use back tension for everything, I might as well just use my hinges. My explanation of my shot process was to provide some background context so viewers have an idea as to why I might think this release works for me. As for where my mind is focused, my arrows tend to land where I'm pointing more often when i have a larger percentage of my mental focus on how I'm executing my shot and the remaining percentage keeping myself from floating off target. It works for me. It might not work for somebody else.

    The irony of the ideas Joel is selling is that he was a swat firearms instructor for years. The trad community was his easiest sell, but the firearms and compound folks are calling him to task, such as yourself.

    Thank you. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in listening to the tenets of Shot IQ and raising an eyebrow. The funniest summary of the Shot IQ program I saw on Reddit. It was: "Oh, you have target panic? Have you considered NOT having target panic?"

    One of those releases should be disabled - to be unsuspectingly switched out for a working one - just for the laugh of watching someone 'twitch' with target panic! What SHOT IQ is exposing is perfectly real.

    A release that can't fire and forces the archer to hold on target is a good training tool, but that first flinch would be rough if a punchy archer didn't know. I'm not saying Joel is necessarily wrong. It's just not the only way to do things. I believe eventually the archer should be able to condition himself into doing certain things automatically without the need to control absolutely every aspect of the shot sequence, and that it is possible to desensitize yourself to the types of stimuli that cause a flinch. Those things require a bow setup the archer can draw and hold comfortably, and then a lot of practice and repetition.

    @@ajbholsters2035 Agreed. Everyone is different and there are always different ways with such complex organisms as humans. I just got a new bow. It has a very high let off and is MUCH quieter than my 20 year old bow. Since it doesn't 'explode' when fired I find that my instincts aren't aroused and, though panic is present, I think I'll soon desensitize.

    Look at your own video, you are trying way to hard not to blink. Good thing it was a close target, cause all your focus was clearly on trying not to blink.

    I didn't record that video exclusively to show that I don't blink when the release goes off. That was footage of me trying out the release for the first time, and incidentally it demonstrated the point I was trying to make. If you spend enough time around loud noises, you stop flinching from them.

He has taken others work..rewrapped it into fancy language and peddles it off like its his own. Open your eyes, listen to old trick and target shooters interviews. I had a back tension coach in the early 90's that spoke the same theories Joel does today.

    Awesome review!! I’m still trying to find the sweet spot, for me…Is it me or Stan does not have the greatest customer service?? I’ve sent several emails for my hinge click hook and have had zero responses. Their phone goes straight into voicemail. You would imagine that after purchasing their resistance, hinge and now the click release, they would actually do something for their customers…

    Thank you for watching. I haven't had a lot of contact with Stan's customer service, but what I have needed (I asked about purchasing fast and slow click hooks) I did get a response after a few days. When I requested my click hooks that I didn't receive with my dear batch of hinges, it took them a few weeks to get them out (longer than they estimated) but they made good on it. A lot of people take vacation around this time, so maybe they're understaffed.
