Focusing on the back of the shoulder, moving back into a position is the best way I have heard it described. People don’t need to know the theory, they just need to know the movement.
This has been the best bit of advice for both myself and my coaching when teaching others, especially beginners. Thanks again for all your work squire!
That's cool, I'm starting my lessons in uk in August, so i want to learn as much as i can so I've got a little knowledge from the start. This channel has been such a huge help, i can't thank him enough for taking the time to teach this, as i found archery to be not what i expected at all, but still going to give it my all, and hopefully one day I'll have a medal or two..can't wait to start my journey.
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed about jakes videos is that the content is spot on always give us the best information , his books are by far above anything else.
Jake I’m just one of many that watch your videos and read your books, thank you for sharing your knowledge like know other has tried, I appreciate you for what you do for the sport. THANKS it mean a lot,
Thanks for these vids man, was a complete novice to the sport at the end of 2019 and got my first top 20 qual rank at socal this year. A lot of that was due to the content you put out in that time helping me to understand everything and absorb information much more efficiently. A lot of people ask me how I learn so quickly and I always reference them to your material and the KSL book.
Thank you for the insights... Back-tension is the ever elusive Holy Grail sometimes, sometimes it comes naturally and without any effort.
Your series is very helpful, and I'm glad to see you mentioning compounds a bit more.
As i said i am new to archery.
I didnt even shoot over 50 times yet.
I am happy if you could figure out why i have problems with my aim.
I always try to focus on the target but i have focus problems when i trie to aim with the sight.
I always see everything blurred.
I ask a trainer in a archery club and he didnt know as well.
If i close one eye i dont have these problems and can aim a little bit better.
But not perfectly as it should be.
Thank you for your videos.
Your videos helping me alot in my archery jorney.
Great advice as usual. Clear, concise and couldn't be more useful.
Thank you for your great job, Jake 👍👍👍
Thanks for your continued content, back tension has always seemed mystical and you expanded it well.
Thank you for the last tip jake. Amazing tip as always, I really appreciate it.
Good job
thank you so much sir❤
Parabéns pelo vídeo ❤
Excellent tips today Jake, it's the most important part of my shot process and some times it's the hardest too achieve, I like what you said about do t think of the muscles that achieve it , I have been trying to do that lately and it's been jamming me up a bit, I will just focus on the words that engage my back tension and hit my conclusion ., great timing on this video 👊
I just earned ranking as an SCA archer, and your vids help a lot.
Jacob in with you awhile now buddy I just so proud of you man almost 10,000 views in a day or so proud of you man good job Jake so thankful to God that you're channel is this blowing up
That explanation helped me a lot. It explains to me also why I sometimes get into the alignment and sometimes not as I move differently but still focus on some muscles. Engaging muscles without actually using them...
This is something I need to focus on doing, kinda doing half and half or all with my biceps (which i dont mind working out!). Thanks for nice simple explanation and demonstration!
Excellent as always. Can you do one on plungers and the physics of what they actually do?
Danke!
Omg 1st competition tomorrow! I will focus on that! Each Time I have a question you answer to it ni des day! Just magic! Thanks a lot for your precious video !!
At some point in the past few months I must have forgotten this part of my form. I'd been struggling to hold anchor for any length of time, like I'd lost strength in my draw arm, recently developed pain in my trap, and felt like I wasn't drawing back as far.
You explaining this refreshed me and I just consciously pulled my shoulder back and found a solid1.5 inches of draw length, and took a ton of strain out of my arm and trap
same thing like throw a punch,great vedio
What do you do with your bow arm during back tension Jake? Do you push your arm forward as in keeping tension in that direction or do you try squeeze your back muscles together, as in trying to pull both shoulder blades together, which would, as a left hand shooter, slightly move the bow arm to the right. I know what to do with the draw arm but not exactly sure what to do with the bow arm during back tension.
Thanks i found this very helpful, as I'm starting my first lessons in August i want to get as much knowledge in as possible. And i actually burst blood vessels by doing this wrong, so its so important to learn these, even before training so I've got a little edge on my pull back motion. Thankyou so much for sharing you're knowledge. From a bigginer in uk, i really appreciate you're time.
Thanks!
Great video Jake. What I tend to struggle with is pushing with the bow arm. Should I push as hard and far as I can into the target? Should I do it with 2/10 intensity as you explain for other things?
I reach with 100% of my range of motion and push into the bow equal to the amount I pull.
And how do I achieve this with the elbow, with the anchor in the corner of the lip?
Using the back muscles to pull the bow back will result in a more arching motion (semi circular) as opposed to using your arm muscles to do it. That will result in a more linear movement to the rear. I find that consciously using my shoulder and back to draw will lead to a better anchor, better hold alignment and ultimately a better release for a better shot. I actually tried this based on scoring (30 arrows) and my shoulder/back draw produced better scores (236) as opposed to arms only draw (215).. did the arm draw first..
how long is the arrow for back tension
matched with standard recurve arrows
Should your back be bowed back when in the stance?
Once again Jake great content my question is there any tool or exercise you can practice back tension with other than your bow, best regards from across the pond.
Not Jake, but get one of those exercise bands, you can simulate drawing a bow pretty well
@@h2obubbli thanks for the advice would you say a medium poundage to get the ideal feeling.
I wonder if that's a ATF DX ? May I ask if there is any difference in shot feel between the formula and ATF ?
5:41 crossbow guys can't cope with this part of the video!
sort of reminds of of the proper kayak stroke vs what people think is the proper kayak stroke. A proper kayak stroke is done 90% w/ the body core and legs (obliques, abs, shoulders, back, quads, calves). The arms are basically connectors until the very end of the forward stroke.
My sons is 13 and he’s on his schools NASP archery team. He’s struggling with developing a smooth release. They use three fingers to pull the bowstring back and when he releases his hand tends to fly out away from his face instead of remaining still or retracting backwards. He’s aware of it but claims he can’t physically prevent his hand from flying out away from his face. Any advice?
I am struggling with my anchor. My arrows release before i am properly able to anchor. I am struggling with where to anchor. Should it be right on my chin or my lips or my nose. By the way I anchor under my chin like in the Olympics. And I use three fingers in under for 55m. Please help me.
I am confused as how this relates to coiling? Because when I practice I do all the stance stuff, but rather than coil, I pull with my lan 2 and find the coil happens naturally when I do that movement. Is that bad?
That’s it’s intended way to be done, essentially one in the same.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Thank you!
So I can pull with my lan 2 first and let the coil happen that way? Because in your form video I got confused because it seemed you coiled first?
I love your content!
I know your annoyed with this question, but I thought here was the best place to ask. I am looking to get my first bare bow, I’m going to go to a shop so someone can help me. How much should I be budgeting for the bow and arrows?
Just FYI, I’m trying to get an ilf bow so I can go up on draw weight as I am still kinda new to archery
are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?!
Keep the bow close to your chest. If you keep it too far away, you'll use your bicep instead of your back.
