This helped a ton! At 20 yards I didn't have a problem but at 30+ yards I was having problems with arrow wobble. I shortened my release and they're all flying strain and much more accurate! Thank you!!
Update; last night range session was outstanding. Your instructions' were spot on. I torn up the bullseye. That minor adjustment made a huge difference. My hand and release position was corrected with your help. Shooting became allot easier and more fun. In about 2 weeks I will be sketching out to 40 yards thanks to your video.
just started using a wrist release and I have been treating it as a trigger on a rifle with obvious indifferent results....this has made perfect sense, and has been perfectly explained!. I'm gripping the release with my fingers and using the tip of my index finger 🙈 (I know.....I'm a worm....)....thank you for improving my aim.....and subbed!
Great explanation and visuals. I've been pulling left a bunch lately after switching from a handheld release and knew it was something with my trigger hand. This explanation of getting a rough measurement is going to help a ton.
I always thought my releases were too short and always had a hard time finding one. This video was very helpful. Learned a lot I didn't know about shooting with a relase, and I have been shooting competition, hunting, and recreation for 40 years. Now to the proshop and have my bow set up a new way.
I just got my arrows and release strap today, waiting for my bow and a few other goodies to show up. Been watching a lot of videos and I can't wait to apply what I've learned so far. I'm excited to get into archery, I've always wanted to, but never did. Well, time to change that.
Really helped put your vid into perspective when I listened to George Ryals explain what happens when your draw is too long. Followed your advice and shortened up the release and found it easier to hold still. Thanks a bunch, really enjoy all your content.
This will help paper tuning, my bare shafts are great, my fletched arrows are off and They are not contacting anything. I’m getting back into shooting after a five year gap and I question my anchor point and release setup. Off to my back yard to practice! Awesome videos
That is exactly what my hunting buddy's release is like and I told him he should shorten it but he likes to anchor like cam hanes behind his neck and then wonders why I shoot better then him
Excellent advice!! To bad I didn’t see this yesterday when I bought a new release and had to tinker with length for a hour. I’ve used just about all your arrow building vids. Coming from a new arrow builder those helped immensely!!! Way better grouping all around.
Thank you so much for a detailed video, I've had issues with my arrows not impacting correctly or missing target and I know why now. I'll def be trying better. I never knew how much effect a release had. Guys at my local shop don't say too much about things like this so this is helpful.
And I see these videos the hole time like I saw all of the archery videos ,but I try to get as much to information because in every video I learn just a bit
I struggled with gripping my release - then an instructor taped all my non-trigger fingers to my palm. Not kidding. After a couple dozen shots my brain started to reset and I was shooting tight groups and not drifting laterally. Try it!
Any chance we could get an in depth video on spine and it’s effect on arrow flight?Under spined vs over spined? Your process for cutting an arrow to fine tune the dynamic spine? How to determine proper point weight?
I had the same issue, I solved it until recently by wearing a Survival bracelet on my right hand with the release behind it. Now it seems something has stretched and it's a bit too long again so back to tinkering until I can get a new release
Have you ever tried using your middle finger as your trigger finger? I find it much harder to punch the trigger if you use your middle finger, you kind of have the feeling of closing you hand verses pull a trigger finger. Check it out it’s awkwardly comfortable.
Nice demo,, I can see your trigger isn't the hair- trigger. I actually got punched on my pulling back bcuz of the hair-trigger. But I was interested in release length. I guess you didn't touch on that adjustment. But it gave me food for thought. Thx.
Thing that's sucks is I cant return a release after buying. I bought a true fire that I really dislike. If I could have returned it I would have. Love my old one, new different model sucked. Only reason for replacing old one is springs are worn out.
I use a Spot Hogg Keeton with the second knuckle of my birdie finger around the trigger. It automatically solves my tendency to punch the trigger (too much PS4 has ruined the use of my index finger for archery).
How are you anchoring with the B3 Hawk? Looks like you’re using the wedge of your thumb/index on the corner of your jaw? I normally place my index knuckle in the “hole” at the base of the ear/jawbone. I’m finding this is too far back and my string no longer aligns with my nose and corner of my mouth. I have shorter fingers and I’m forced to adjust the Hawk all the way in to get my finger hooked over the trigger properly... any advice?
So according to what youre saying about squeezing the release, shouldnt handhelds be inconsistant?? Because if youre holding the wrist release, youre basically just turning it into a handheld release.
I was wondering if you could talk about aiming. I've been shooting since last November and learned a lot from your videos too however, I just noticed that I'm only aiming with one eye open. Is there an explanation of why it is important to keep both eyes open? Or does it even matter? (I'm left-handed archer but right-handed otherwise)
Thanks for sharing. Question: how long have you shoot the Scott Ghost release? And more importantly, have you ever had misfires with it? I had 3 last night and not sure what I can do to resolve it shy of getting a new release. I've been using this release for almost a year and have had a few go off prematurely but could never be certain I didn't bump it with my finger until last night. It was clearly released without any involvement from my finger. (Mid draw) Thanks!
Man you make my day! I got the scott ghost release and it's been a couple of time i had shot who went prematurely, and i always put the fault on me. I really think there is a problem with this one. I will change for a other model!
On your B3 release, do you have the stock shank/ shaft or the short? I have the same TF release you also demoed and it’s way too long. Your B3 looks like what im looking for. Thanks!
Hey Kellen, whitetail hunting arrow coming in at 503 gr. (30” fmj -12 gpi, hit insert- 16gr., nock- 9gr. , 3; 2” vanes- 18 gr., 100 gr. WASP JAK-KNIFE). Too heavy?? Shooting a 70 lbs. VERTIX with 30” draw.
Hey man I’m new to archery and I just bought a Mathews vertix and I already have peep rotation I’ve tried a twist moving d loop to an angle and it’s just always off a little one way or another so after watching your video about strings do you guys have any Gas ghost strings in stock? I went on site and it says I can’t get any til July can I buy some from you guys there is no pro shops within 4 hours of where I live and they are tiny that you have to order everything thru.
hey I ordered a fulcrum flex in a large and it seemed huge do you think if I ordered a medium and make more sense and I've got pretty big hands I'm like six foot 2please let me know the whole Corona thing I haven't been able to go to like Lancaster archery and put my hand in it so I was just curious if you had experience with putting your hands on that particular release thank you so much
the arrow always shoots slightly right side when i'm using a wrist wrap release than a thumb button release, even i checked my anchor point is correct, i have to adjust the sight to the right whenever i use a wrist wrap release, is that normal?

I have been an archer for over 50 years and a bowhunter for over 40. I learned a lot from this video, thank you

Great video, this definitely is important. I’m new in to archery but I could definitely tell something wasn’t right with my release
Answered my question of this perfectly 👍🏼
Thank you, I watched this last night and first thing this morning tried it and my grouping completely changed to separating to 4 in groups.
I just got my arrows and release strap today, waiting for my bow and a few other goodies to show up. Been watching a lot of videos and I can't wait to apply what I've learned so far. I'm excited to get into archery, I've always wanted to, but never did. Well, time to change that.
This cleared up everything for me. Thank you!
Now i know why i have numbness in index finger and thumb. Mine was way too long. thanks new shooter
Really helped put your vid into perspective when I listened to George Ryals explain what happens when your draw is too long. Followed your advice and shortened up the release and found it easier to hold still. Thanks a bunch, really enjoy all your content.
Very informative video. I was definitely doing it wrong.
I had one too long and not adjustable. But I took it apart and changed the bolt in the mechanics and now it’s good! 25 cents from Lowe’s.
Thanks for a very concise and informative video, I concluded my release is too long. I made good sense, keep up the good vids.
Thanks brother your videos have been real helpful keep up the good work
Thanks for this vid. I know I've had this very thing happen and seen strange arrow flight or not understood why my impact shifted suddenly.
This will help paper tuning, my bare shafts are great, my fletched arrows are off and They are not contacting anything. I’m getting back into shooting after a five year gap and I question my anchor point and release setup. Off to my back yard to practice! Awesome videos
That is exactly what my hunting buddy's release is like and I told him he should shorten it but he likes to anchor like cam hanes behind his neck and then wonders why I shoot better then him
A very important information. Thank you. Now i know. My wrist release is too long
Excellent advice!! To bad I didn’t see this yesterday when I bought a new release and had to tinker with length for a hour. I’ve used just about all your arrow building vids. Coming from a new arrow builder those helped immensely!!! Way better grouping all around.
Excellent technical information. Has been "huge" issue for me. Thanks
Thank you so much for a detailed video, I've had issues with my arrows not impacting correctly or missing target and I know why now. I'll def be trying better. I never knew how much effect a release had. Guys at my local shop don't say too much about things like this so this is helpful.
Freakin genius. Mine is way too long! Groupings should improve some now so thank you!
Really great video. You did a great job on the subject that many do not cover.
dude totally saved me i was slapping and usually one or two out of 6 arrows would go way out of group!!!! Thanks!
And I see these videos the hole time like I saw all of the archery videos ,but I try to get as much to information because in every video I learn just a bit
Thanks for all of your vids!
Greets from Germany !
This is so cool. Im going to get into shooting a bow again. I never knew any of this
Thanks yall for this info, its do interesting
That’s a great release for hunting. I love mine.
What release is that?
claptinfan b3 hawk
Sorry just saw this, it’s the Tru Fire Hardcore buckle. The yellow triangle on the strap is hard to catch in this but it says TF.
Also I meant the first release (too long). Now I see the B3 when he switched to “too short”. Been a while since I saw this
I struggled with gripping my release - then an instructor taped all my non-trigger fingers to my palm. Not kidding. After a couple dozen shots my brain started to reset and I was shooting tight groups and not drifting laterally. Try it!
Any chance we could get an in depth video on spine and it’s effect on arrow flight?Under spined vs over spined? Your process for cutting an arrow to fine tune the dynamic spine? How to determine proper point weight?
I'll definitely try this out! I always seem to be a bit low left, hopefully this fixes the issue
excellent video for me being completely new to the bow thanks. The next thing is front hand position so I wont tear up my forearm again lol.
Finally! Thanks for the info and the video. Definitely needed.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m having trouble with my new release and I couldn’t figure out why. The release is adjusted to long.
Thanks for this video. Always a question I've wanted answered.
That B3 Hawk fits you well!
Great video. Just got a B3 claw. Now i know how to set it up.
Excellent point!
Thank you. Just what i needed to know.
Excellent video! Thank you Sir.
Great video
Love my B3 hawk release
It should be as long as you want it and still be accurate. Archery is 99% fitment to the archer. Comfort and repeatability is the most important.
Oh snap! Explains the to the right shots...anchor point is affected
Thank you bro. Much appreciated
thank you very much your the man
I had the same issue, I solved it until recently by wearing a Survival bracelet on my right hand with the release behind it. Now it seems something has stretched and it's a bit too long again so back to tinkering until I can get a new release

Good info
Nice video 👌🏻
I think I just saw that trainer on Lancaster archery
Great video, was just looking at my release today and wondering if its set up right. Who makes that shirt?
Great video. I have been looking for a release that I can get this short. Plan of give a B3 a try. What model is that?
The hawk
You should do a bow build video
Very helpful. What brand/model release are you using (the one that fits properly)? Thanks for sharing.
Awesome
Well crap! Only been shooting my release too long the last 15 years🤦🏻♂️🤣
Great video, What is the t-shirt brand or logo??? It's awesome
Born and Raised Outdoors
Great video. What trainer release device are you using? thanks
How are you anchoring with the B3 Hawk? Looks like you’re using the wedge of your thumb/index on the corner of your jaw?

So according to what youre saying about squeezing the release, shouldnt handhelds be inconsistant??
Because if youre holding the wrist release, youre basically just turning it into a handheld release.
@@tylerparker3024 the torque induced on the shank of an index release while holding onto it is a lot different that the pressure on a handheld
How? Youre literally holding the handheld sideways lol
Good video! That trainer worth the $$? it's expensive!
Definitely spendy but its the best I've found.
What about trigger sensitivity? I got mine set so light that I wouldn't be able to set my finger on the trigger like that.
I was wondering if you could talk about aiming. I've been shooting since last November and learned a lot from your videos too however, I just noticed that I'm only aiming with one eye open. Is there an explanation of why it is important to keep both eyes open? Or does it even matter? (I'm left-handed archer but right-handed otherwise)

Man you make my day! I got the scott ghost release and it's been a couple of time i had shot who went prematurely, and i always put the fault on me. I really think there is a problem with this one.
I will change for a other model!
I need a personal bow instructor
On your B3 release, do you have the stock shank/ shaft or the short? I have the same TF release you also demoed and it’s way too long. Your B3 looks like what im looking for. Thanks!
Great video, My question is, the release seems loose where it grabs the loop is it supposed to be like that or do I need to tighten it somehow?
Love the videos Kellen, did you ever do the shot execution video? I just bought a hinge from ultra view and was looking for that video?
Hey Kellen, whitetail hunting arrow coming in at 503 gr. (30” fmj -12 gpi, hit insert- 16gr., nock- 9gr. , 3; 2” vanes- 18 gr., 100 gr. WASP JAK-KNIFE). Too heavy?? Shooting a 70 lbs. VERTIX with 30” draw.
Nah thats fine. My guess is you aren't shooting much over 30 yards so soeed doesn't really matter
Mine aparently doesnt get short enough lol.
Do you have a archery shop? I'm sorry if i've missed the obvious. Looking for a west coast supplier.
What brand is your personal release??
Hey man I’m new to archery and I just bought a Mathews vertix and I already have peep rotation I’ve tried a twist moving d loop to an angle and it’s just always off a little one way or another so after watching your video about strings do you guys have any Gas ghost strings in stock? I went on site and it says I can’t get any til July can I buy some from you guys there is no pro shops within 4 hours of where I live and they are tiny that you have to order everything thru.
I have got a fs index release is it able to be adjusted
hey I ordered a fulcrum flex in a large and it seemed huge do you think if I ordered a medium and make more sense and I've got pretty big hands I'm like six foot 2please let me know the whole Corona thing I haven't been able to go to like Lancaster archery and put my hand in it so I was just curious if you had experience with putting your hands on that particular release thank you so much
TQ
the arrow always shoots slightly right side when i'm using a wrist wrap release than a thumb button release, even i checked my anchor point is correct, i have to adjust the sight to the right whenever i use a wrist wrap release, is that normal?
What are those releases you are using?
Are u right or left handed?
What release are you useing
lol
Thank you.
