I shoot fingers right hand and a release lefty. Both side I have a short lock time unless I’m shooting longer ranges. Great advice as always! Thank you
You spoke on it a little bit, but I’d love a more in depth video on how let off affects your accuracy. On a both with 3 different let offs how do I figure out which one is right for me? Because apparently the con to a 85% let off is that anything I do after hitting my release will affect the arrow more than if I used 70%.
TL;DR. Brace height does not have a significant effect on lock time. It's critical to accuracy because of geometry and physics, but not because of time on string. For a 30" draw it's actually 28.25" between the string at full draw and the throat of the grip. With a 6" brace height is actually 22.25" of power stroke. 7" brace height is 21.25" brace height. It's 4.5% longer travel, and given acceleration of the string it'll be less than 4% additional time on the string for most bows. The ~14.3% increase in level arm length and further increase of limb/string length ratio at full draw is what accounts for the accuracy. This is measured as length of the limbs that extend beyond the throat of the grip. Let's say that at full draw the limbs bend back an additional half inch, that means that of the 28.25" true draw length the limbs account for 6.5" on a 6" BH bow. The greater the relative length of the limbs to the string (assuming all other harmonics are the same) the less variance in the string upon release. A 7" brace height bow will have ~35% limb length to string length, as opposed to ~29% on a 6" bow. Ignoring the trigonometry, the more the limbs contribute to draw length, the more stable the bow.
Human error is the main cause of missed shots. Removing the allowance for human error is the best way to increase consistency. Yeah there should a priority of improving form but the main idea is correct.
He is talking science about The amount of fallow through Needed during a shot in front Of just remember . I really good Pro 3d told me is fallow fallow Through the shoot..
Gee sh! How about you just practice (More than 2 days before season). Ive been bow hunting when cables on a bow were real steal cables and we didn't know any of this stuff and killed hundreds of deer.
John, would be awesome if you could cover string stop pros and cons.🙏🏼
Reading through the comments just shows that people hear whatever they want as long as it confirms their prior beliefs.
Loving the "white" look duds. Thanks again for your expertise and continuing education for the nockon nation!

Thank you, man, I appreciate.
never had this explained before- thank you
I've always wondered what this was called,,, truly a great tip.
Thanks for your effort.
Thanks never thought about it like that
Thanks for sharing!
Great Tips, Thanks
Good advice
Thanks for producing these vids. 🤙
As always a great video👍
Good job

I’m sure brace height has an issue also since it is on the string longer.

Most people will take away from this the wrong point, and believe “light arrows with high let off is better.”

Did anyone hear the difference in the two arrows?
thats why you shoot a fallaway rest speeds up lock time
😱
Dud looks old, damn.. that happened quick!!
What a useless comment. Go back under your bridge.
He just presented an argument for fast bows. Hunlee warp speed!
He is talking science about
The amount of fallow through
Needed during a shot in front
Of just remember . I really good
Pro 3d told me is fallow fallow
Through the shoot..
