3 FORM TIPS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

this is a fun one today you know a big mission that i've always had especially with youtube is like one entertainment but two also like education i feel like we forget to do like strictly education pieces i feel like we only do a couple years so this is education piece and this is strictly off of my own experiences and own learnings and i guess what's really helped me and that is three tips this is these are like the biggest three things that i've revolutionized with my form of my shooting i guess there's a lot but these are like the three things that i think about like right away first one might seem kind of like standard um but it's it's face contact and i know especially with bow hunters like you don't really think about face contact you think about when you anchor you like get into your anchor you want to feel it you want to find it but that's not necessarily the case because it can hurt you big time especially in tuning especially and then like broadhead tuning um and it really is affected at longer distances you know for that 50 yards and further face contact so i'll show you first kind of like a bad example face contact is literally what it is like anything that touches your face so this is this is a classic one you know burying it into your face where he is like your string is indenting your cheek indenting your nose and what that is doing i'll show you this on the bow press too what that is doing is it's putting string flex like it's flexing it left or right or forward and essentially it's affecting the flight of the arrow and this normal string path here i'm going to put in the button all right so we're at full full draw technically i have it on the draw board i just want to show you guys how easy it is to put flex on it you know the bow's not moving nothing's moving just the string is moving you know and obviously it becomes easier to see more variance the farther up you go farther down you go it's the less but the point is is like the bow is that neutral at a system of like perfect performance with no variables you know you're not touching it with your face you know you're not putting any torque in it so by adding a lot of face pressure it does stuff especially does it left and right if you're putting side pressure like this you know either with your nose or your face a big thing is like your face is smashing up against it like it can become so bad like it's not gonna derail but if you shot it with like severe face pressure like that like it wouldn't be good so big thing is face pressure not good especially when farther distances is happening a great example if you want to look to someone to refer to is jesse broadwater he does a great job of very very little face pressure all he does is barely touch his nose to the string for a little bit of reference um but the biggest thing is i actually did this at attack with isaac almond shout out to him i was talking about this face contact i'm like look i'm going to shoot an arrow like normal and i'm going to shoot an arrow just looking through the peep sight not even anchoring and still hit and they hit pretty much in the same spot so all you have to do is look through your peep sight line your peep sight up and you're good to go so it is so easy to move it at full draw because of let off you know it's it's hard to do that with a recurve because you're you're pulling you know 50 60 pounds back but you're only holding like 12 pounds you know 10 pounds sometimes like eight pounds like some of these like 80 85 90 let off bows are terrible when it comes to face pressure like if you are if you have eight seven pounds of holding like face pressure is just so crucial there like that's a big reason why if you're if you have a beard you know it's like this face pressure is really important so now this is probably and i'm not perfect but this is what it should be so when you pull back you obviously anchor on your face with your hand which is good you should be touching your face with your hand but then all you're doing is you're just lightly touching the string you know you're not doing anything crazy you don't want to be dropping your nose in just a slight touch very little you don't even need to touch a string all you need to do is line the peep site up the peep site is in control of your entire accuracy you know if everything else form is good shot sequence is good peepsite is the driver of everything so the next thing is kinda general um and it's kind of well it's it's it's impacted me a lot i had a shorter drawing i was running like a 27 27.5 inch drawing for a long time we can maybe find some throwback photos to show me i'm all crunched up my back shoulders all crunched up like this basically you know creating no neck right there which is bad you don't want that that's going to create a lot of problems and it also can create a lot of like dip bangs a lot of things that people think are stabilizer problems are actually form and drawing problems in my experience and talking to a lot of like you know george ryles and and guys like that eighty percent of people drawings is too short you know half inch inch most of them are too short and the problem is especially if you've been shooting your entire life when you're 12 and you get a bow set up you know and then you're 13 and then you're 14 what happens when you're when 12 to 16 you grow about this much well in order to keep up with that draw length you have to go through severe changes when you're 12 or 13 or even 14 you know you have a 23 inch draw length but in those couple years when you're 16 through 18 your draw length went just to like 28 29 sometimes 30 inches but that jump sometimes seems huge you know and people don't do it so you see a lot you know like college people you know people in their 20s that have been bow hunting like their whole lives and stuff they stay stuck in these short drawings when they really need to be like way way longer you know another thing is that they just don't know you know that you're stuck in a short drawing but like eighty percent of the time your drawing is too short so a big thing that you want to look for is full extension you don't want a crazy front bent arm and you don't want a high back shoulder if you got a high back shoulder like this what you're creating is you're you're trying to scooch into the bow you want a big triangle and maybe we can draw this out this is a george ryles teaching also you want a big triangle you're creating the triangle of archery and that essentially is and it's getting hot that essentially is this space in here you want a big space in here you know everyone's configurations their measurements from here to here and here to here are all different so that's going to be a little different but you want a good triangle you want a low back shoulder with a good triangle so that is essentially it's like being at the correct drawing if your drawing's too short you're going to be like this if your drawing's too long you're just going to be like way extended out so i guess this is just like maybe double check reference you know maybe video yourself see if your drawing is maybe too short because there's a really good chance that your drawing might be a little too short final thing this kind of only applies to hand shooters but the philosophy behind the shot process is the same across all release devices so the driving force of a hinge release are your fingers obviously there's no buttons there's no you know there's no button there's no trigger it's your fingers move um and the biggest driving force of that is either your index finger or and if you're shooting a three finger your ring finger so it's your index or your ring what i mean by that is your ring feeder finger is either pulling or your index finger is letting go or a combination of that to create this rotation to let the hinge go off so this was a lot of you know design thoughts when we designed the hinge but we added a lot of pressure to go over your ring finger and middle finger compared to some releases where a lot of pressure is just over your index this is i'm referencing george riles a lot because george was my coach you know like like through my serious archery years of really developing georgia i wasn't the coach quick plug if you want to book a lesson with him you can hit him up on instagram george ross so the biggest thing that i did to have a better shot sequence with hinge is to think of my third finger as the driving finger you know you want a lot of pressure on your ring finger on your third finger pretty much entirely throughout the shot you know i'll show an example but a lot of times guys will draw back like this or even like this because they're scared for it to go off but then they'll come into it you know kind of not super hot you know super hot or aggressive and then it takes them a long time and that's when like guys will have super hot releases but it's not necessarily that it's hot it's because they're getting set up into it differently so what i have done is put a lot of pressure on my third finger so there i just went through my click but you start with a lot of pressure on your third finger you're already activated you're already into the shot it's your driving finger you already have pressure on it you can measure that pressure you know just subconsciously through shooting over and over again and then that's your driving finger you're constantly pushing and pulling with that along with a slight relaxation and shift in the fingers like this until eventually boom it goes off but whenever you think like you have a little bit longer shots or like your shot sequence instead of like being five seconds after the click you know it's seven seconds after the click and you're like i just need to speed this up instead of changing your release try changing how you're making the release go off by thinking about activating that third finger that driving finger along with maybe relaxing and creating that shifting rotate rotation because a lot of times when you set up a hinge release you don't really move it like you might do some drafts like hey i'm just gonna i'm gonna start from scratch i'm gonna move it you know i'm gonna change everything around you might do that every now and again but if you're constantly changing you know the hinge hot cold hot cold long short you need to just start back over like the biggest thing is your sequence you find your sequence to release so i have this thing set about to how i've always liked it and then i just run with it maybe every now and again i have to you know some i change something i do a slight tweak on something but for the most part it pretty much stays right where it's at so takeaways of this video are your draw leg might be too short video yourself have someone look at you make sure to check that out your third finger can be a big driving force of the hinge in the rotation process and then the first one was face pressure you know face pressure is huge a lot of guys you know smash a string in their face and cause a lot of problems that they might not even know about so a couple of fun things to try out some things that really affected my shooting made me a better archer and i hope it helps you guys too catch you in the next one [Music] you
