Archery FAQ: Different Draw Techniques - good to know

[Music] today quickly for your different or different kind of release when you show somebody's and stuff like this or the air on the right side at least as a left-hand Archer as you know I showed you once my version of Slovak release we have the air on the right side as a right hand Archer two fingers draw the string under the arrow index all the air in place the rest of the hand is flat and long and in this way you have a nice way of draw and you can reload for a see you load suck and you can directly get wherever you get you arrow from it's fast maybe it's not for the most heavy in rows so heavy arrows maybe they did in ancient times they locked these two fingers with their thumb so you put your two fingers around hold them with a thumping place index audience a nice nice way to shoot but it's a little your hand is a little the nose Christian's crippled and whatever but this - then it's nice because your wrist is relax your fingers are kind of religious this way you can shoot very nice works so especially when you do fast shooting arrow they attack while you bring the air own you can already draw so this is one of for me the fastest and most convenient ways to create draw and shoot but Easter but what we talk about today is I saw a Facebook post I forgot his name he posted it I think in a time when I finally I will put it in the description and he was studying old carvings vases drawings whatever and with his finger protectors ahead in Persia or whatever and he said that they had the thumb around like you should some release but the index finger is not on the right side like usually you are known to he had this version where you bring the index around to the left side and the middle finger is on the right side you see that and it's a freaking cool way to shoot I don't know if it was historically correct if they did it or not but when you do this you bring your thumb on and then instead of bringing you a tour and see and to hear when you do a double hook for a heavy bow the thump is already getting a little short and it's worth to get you two fingers on the thumb so you need to bend your wrist and whatever it's not relaxed in this way I have a double hook but my wrist is completely straight relaxed I can do it with a company relaxed wrist and I like that a lot takes a tick of a second longer if you shoot like this or with this finger around but then it's I love this way of shooting and no matter where your anchor point is then the release is simply tried I know a few of you watching you were four shots right you did that same charm a key and two arrows at the time you practice everything I like that and once you get the hang of it it's first it's no problem but [Music] [Applause] [Music] as it is made for heavier bows you might not want to shoot like me stupid always with your birth um so that's why I use not one of these thumb protectors as you know I did want to be you about them they're from Aliexpress shopping with it so let's see how it works with a letter thumb protector but even when the letter is diffic is it to bend it around you need to get used to it not that relaxed right now you need to find your way you put it so maybe the letters a little too long and it's short it's maybe easier but it just it so come protection and you see there's no loss of speed when you load works but so I have here a thumb ring from Grandma with a small edge on it but I think it doesn't make any difference thumb bring around your two fingers this kind of lock feels secure it feels when I do a single hook I have how can I describe it and sometimes the skin is little pinchy behind the thumb ring it's hard to align everything when you have your finger around there you can control the arrow it's like when you have the spell ring and you bring the arrow slightly away from your flesh and only on the ring you really can control this with this and the release is smooth everything is relaxed and what I like when you have syrtis this I call it now again Slovak release the hand is like this so it's I don't know this way she's way better true when you pull back not like in this direction you need to rotate your wrist and then everything gets a little cramped up in the back when you have your fists like this I think you even use your back muscles in a better way to throw heavy pause so with these two fingers there and the relaxed boom I like this so this is one thumb break and have another one [Music] [Applause] [Music] the other thumb breeze you know going through it all of you may and it shows you some of the other thumb bring has this more nose there in front let's try this one the gift gives you I mean I'm not a hungry shoot and maybe I'm simply too stupid for that but in this way I have way more the feeling of control as when I shoot doesn't feel it comfortable or one-and-a-half go you method yeah I mean you could use for everything but this one is I like I like it a lot so now you will say can you hold the arrows in your hand like you always show us and shoot this way because you need these two fingers no the other thing is to hand it to these two things if you want to get working and once you get used to it then you knock the error already with your middle finger and your thumb and you have the index already on the left side look you don't hold it with index and thumb push forward like you to normal and then shoot you press the thumb against the middle finger with the arrow in it then you have this ring already on the right side and then it's you don't lose you don't lose any time so I like this kind of draw so again I don't say that it's historically correct that it was right or wrong often used or not used or whatever it's like a did last time with the Corey Troy arrows on you know when you have the arrows in this goalie toy on the left side remember so you have the arrow here you sit on your horse and you grab one arrow rotate it knock it and shoot it of course it's maybe not what they often used or always used or never used I don't know and I don't care I simply see things and then I try to figure how they did it and then when I like it like like this you know that's what I call it slovak relief when i like it i simply do it and when i like this one with the index finger on the left side and the middle on the right side and when it is so cool you can really relax your thumb and the other two fingers don't have that much to do release it seems i like it i like it and when it works for me i use it if it doesn't work for me I simply don't use it but I don't say it's historically correct or something like this it's simply a nice way to try something else and if you like this simply try it maybe you like it use it no it's fine stick with whatever you shoot and however you should I don't chain you you have to do anything in my way I never did I will never do I only tell you always my personal opinion of things you can take something with it or you simply leave it but simply enjoy shooting you go out and shoot some arrows or at least try it when it works for you fine why not fine it's no problem there is no competition we should give up this thinking that this one is better than this one and Mediterranean is better than from release and it's all kind of shooting bow and arrow simply let's stick with it and we're all a big family I hope we can tree each other like a family thank you very much
