I've been shooting about 4most now my pull draw is 28lbs on a recurve. I have been having elbow pain ( epicondial ). I shoot instinctive with no sights. Any answers?

Clay, this explanation/demonstration of back tension is BRILLIANT, pure and simple. And, as "mts" notes below, the hinged model that you put together clarified arm alignment better than anything I have ever see or read ANYWHERE. I intend to watch this video before every single practice session until I feel completely comfortable with the level of back tension I have acquired. Thank you so much for your help, Chris (from Maine)

I'm a beginner. Your videos are awesome and a perfect way to learn about archery.

I want to thank you for this video. It helped me so much, everything came into alignment and now groupings are much tighter and centered on target.

As thick-headed as I am, I now understand. Thank you, you are making it easy for my transfer from compound to traditional.

I like that he spent some time to make things just to teach us how to use a bow properly, you can tell how passionate he is on teaching us and how passionate he is on his hobby as well

With all the videos I've watched trying to explain back tension, this one drove it home to where the concept is perfectly clear for the first time. Thanks a million, Clay!

Hands down, this is the best description of back tension I've run across. I'm new to trad archery. This video was definitely an "ah ha" moment for me. I've been struggling with the concept of back tension. Now it makes sense!

I think I was beginning to grasp the back muscle use to draw and back tension to hold good form But your video made it completely understandable and crystal clear , (a lot more than a couple other archers did ! So now I get it ! Thank you, great job !)

Excellent explanation for the right technique using your back tension!

The model of back tension is fantastic. I watched your other video and it wasn't quite clear to me until I had seen this. I just got a recurve bow and started shooting last week. Within 10 shots, I was hitting the target where I wanted to, thanks you your instruction. Thanks a lot!

Clay, Thanks for another great video! I have the Masters series but you are the first I've seen that explained it the way you did using the model.

Awesome video and explanation of back tension. Thanks Clay.

Wished I would of heard about Clay a long time ago. This man knows archery and its dynamics.

Thank you Clay. This has been the best video I've seen for helping me to really understand back tension.

One of Best BT explanations right up there with Al Henderson’s!

Great instructional video. Best illustration of back tension I have seen.

Love the vid! Your technique vids have all been awesome for me.

Glad I scrolled way back in your videos and found this! This really is a good way of explaining it and I fully understand how now

Great video! I was like more than 7 months of completely archery absense, and now I lost most of my stence and alignment... I am not doing a back tension anymore and will need to get back to this! My bow seems heavy now and I feel a lot of pain after shooting sections... This video will be really helpful.

I made a recurve bow when I was a 7th grader. Always shot by feel. Many years later.....today...I practice every day and in the dark. At night I use my instinct, in the day, your tips are amazing

By FAR the best explanation and demonstration of back tension I have ever seen. So many guys think they're explaining it right and really their causing my bad than good especially with new recurve shooters. Well done in this video.

As someone who started shooting a recurve back in November and has watched oodles of videos on technique, most all of yours Clay, the first time I truly 'felt' and understood back tension, was last week when I decided to practice kneeling shots for the first time. This may say something about my standing technique, but on my knees, I really feel my back 'control' the process.

Dude, thank you so much for your videos. Subscribed. You have some very good tips that you are sharing, and I love em. Been shooting on and off for thirty years, don't always have the time, but can still do it..... loving the fine tuning. Used to shoot 300 shots a day for a couple years when I was young, then to the city, then do something else, and sure hurt to stop shooting, or not have opportunity to shoot. I am older and wiser now, and will not deny myself the joy of shooting. Thanks for helping remind me man!

3 years later and I still watch this video for a refresher when I’m “off” my shooting accuracy. I’m hitting groups at 40-50 more consistently then before but I limit my hunting shots to 35 and under. Who doesn’t like 10-15 yrd shots at quarry? Especially when you’re so close your movements are subtle so as not to be detected being too close for comfort? These teachings should be in the Toxophilite’s Bible and scribed as a Commandment.

Love it

Gotcha!

Hi Clay, great videos! They are very informative and helpful. One request/idea for a video is form and technique from a tree stand? Other than bending at the waist, it can be a challenge. I would appreciate your insight on this. Thank you! 😏🏹

Clay, great video man. I love the content you provide. Would you be willing to answer a question or two about your set up there, more specifically the quiver. I have a Bear Montana that I’d love to buy one for but I just have a hard time conceiving how It would mount to the upper and lower limbs just because of how thin they are. Also I love those silencers and wanted to know who’s they were

I shoot longbows, recurves and compounds. I have found that shooting my compound once in a while helps me with my back tension for the traditional bows. With a compound, if you don't stay into the back wall using your back tension, it will try to jump forward, much like you demonstrated with your form master. It took me awhile to figure this out, but I noticed that after shooting the compound for a while, when I went back to my trad bows, I shot them much better. At first I thought it was really odd until I considered why. I don't think everyone needs to run out and buy a compound to make it happen though, lol! I did it when I was having some finger joint issues. I've since dropped down to 40-45# with my trad bows, so I'm back to the fun side!
