I'm a big believer in the subconscious shot. When you shoot and hit the middle even though you didn't even think the shot was on the mark. It happens when the mind is trained and controls the process and effects the shot. Very good video...
That's exactly the situation that I try to show the archers I work with. Once you let go of the total control factor and see the arrow hit in the ten ring when you didn't think it did, it's an eye opener for sure. Thanks for watching!
Looking forward to the new video. This is a good video also even though I am not sure I can do what you are saying yet. But with more work I can see it
Thank you for that. I just finished up with this weeks first episode on my new series tonight so I'm hoping it'll be a hit with people as well. It'll have more information about different topics all into one video so that'll be good. The subconscious aiming takes time to develop. The quicker you can start allowing yourself to not control your aiming and your shot the faster the brain will take over for you though.
Yea that's me. Rushing, forcing the pin, drive byes, punching my hinge, etc.. Seems like when I do settle in, I don't have enough time to execute the shot before the pin drifts.
I would guess it could be how you're drawing the bow and getting to the target that could be causing the delays. Possibly your form that's allowing you to break down too soon as well. You should be able to hold at full draw around 10 seconds before starting to break down. If you want to send over a video of you going through your process I'd be glad to look it over.
Gospel truth here folks. When you FIND that place in your mind where you JUST LET IT HAPPEN you will know it. It will change your shooting forever. It becomes relaxed physically and mentally. Just let the pin float without fighting it and pull them the shot. You will/have learned to shoot in a mentally and physically new state. And if you draw and it isn't there let down and start over. Do not fire that crappy shot- ever!!!!
I would say it's even more important in a tree stand. How many times do you hear of an archer shooting over the top of an animal because they're more focused on the antlers than the kill zone. There's a more rush on the shot but the aiming has to be consistent.
I have an important problem. My pin keeps falling below the bullseye and i just can't bring it back up. This is really bad as I get really tired and frustrated during competitions when this happens. Can you please help me?
If it's happening when you're getting tired you can try shortening the d loop 1/16 and that might help you pull into the stops better when you're tired. If it's happening all the time and you're settling below the middle, you'll need to work on some drills to get comfortable with covering what you're trying to hit versus being able to see what you're trying to hit.

rcrchery I do have a tendency to draw with my elbow down using my arm rather than my back. its a lot easier on my draw shoulder but not good form.
I'd love too know where you got that Easton shirt........
I bought it from Easton while they were doing a clearance sale a year or so ago.
Do you recommend a sweet spot pro for someone to want to try it out

So this still always kind of goes out the window on a tree stand

rcrchery thank you! I will probably work on the drills.
Here's some that can help you out. rcrchery.wordpress.com/2016/05/01/beating-target-panic-drills/
That is what happens to me
Try using your waist to bring it back up.Aim like you would aim out of a treestand by pivoting at the waist.
