Lol I thank you so much brother for the shout out. Yes I believe before you even grab the bow and arrow and go out and shoot, make sure clothes and shoes should be good. As well shoes!!! Lol 😂 I know it’s crazy that that is my biggest advice but I have seen so many people have their clothes get in the way of the string or their shoes are uncomfortable. I’ve had so many girls wear high heels and cardigans. And I’ve had so many guys try to wear their hunting gear, but their hunting gear was too big and got in the way of the string.
Also, I really love this series that you are doing. I think it’s really super cool. I mean it’s very very awesome. And I’m going to be sharing these videos.
My best advice, which I learned from the book “Zen in the Art of Archery” by Eugen Herrigel, is that the release should be soft and that the string should come out as if is cutting the thumb suddenly without intentionally opening the hand. (the same applies to any draw technique) In the book the release is compared to how fruits fall off the tree when they are ripe. In my years of experience I have realized that most accuracy problems have to do with having inconsistent string release. Thanks for your videos!
Tremendous content. Well done Charlie My recommendation to everyone in the learning process, don't get frustrated, enjoy every shot and make something that works for you without hurting yourself. Cheers ☕️ 😊
I'm a slinger coming to archery, but I really liked that final tip: don't treat it as a gun where you only think of "aiming" once you've reached a full-draw ready position. Instead, treat it like you would when aiming a throw: the bulk of your aim comes from your mental calculations beforehand, and snap judgments and final tweaks come during your "final throw" motion. (i.e. just bring it back to your release point and let it fly)
The point of th clothes, I think is relative…Just think about Samurai archers shooting with 20 kilos or more of bulky armor and sometimes armor + horse back shooting, additionally, their pants were baggy, and I’m not talking ‘bout the Hakama, that’s another fact.

Nobody said it was comfortable 😅 but yes, it depends on a person :)
