I'm 3d and field longbow competitor. As I have recently started to read books from coach Kisik Lee, I find your channel very interesting. It's good to read, but it is also good to be able to see techniques explained and executed from someone who not only understands them, but is able also to execute them. I'm very grateful for your free knowledge! Thank you, and best wishes from me!
Thanks Jake for yet another insightful and invaluable video. So much of what you present (and how you present it) is practical and easily applicable. I've not been shooting long but the results due to your input have been remarkable. Best RUclips archery reference by far.
I like the "mental" part of expansion, how you will feel when you finish the shoot. Most of the time I focus too much on setting the clicker off and the muscle part.
Thank you very much for your videos, I habe been able to improve my bow arm and my bow hand, and most importantly, your videos have allowed me to see the mistakes i was making and realize when i make them again.
I was wondering what I've been missing. I'm forgetting to push my bow forward. Thanks. I'm going to try this tomorrow morning. I can feel my groups getting tighter already!
Thanks Jake. I’ve been visualizing expansion from the tricep moving back behind me. Seeing you doing it and emphasizing Lan2 moving parallel is completely different. I’ll give your way a go. I shoot barebow, so no clicker, but having a consistent expansion will help my form and results. 👍
Thank you Jake for this impressive video. Why impressive to me? Two aspects: first the focus on the angular movement, not on the muscles; and second, the focus on where I want to be after the shot. Now I really understand the importance of following through and I know my next practicing goals.
Gee no wonder I kept shaking like crazy as I was doing the expansion and also having the tendencies to have the anchor shifting. Applied your advice on adding bicep tension but not over doing it and I think I'm feeling my shot a lot more cleaner in the release and execution. Also the advice on reaching the C spot really helped me on continuing the expansion well after the clicker has clicked reducing my chance of collapse. Thanks Jake.
Great video! Keep up the excellent work, Jake. Your technical and sequential method of explanation is so helpful. This is the best archery channel on RUclips. 👍
Hi Jake, so interestingly I've always had much better groups when I had some tension in my bicep but I was so determined to keep the back half relaxed that I'd sacrifice the stability and higher scores for something I'd hoped would settle down in the future. Thanks for sharing and not making me feel like I was crazy.
It would be much better, I think, if you could add pictorial diagrams or photos from above plus some important lines on what you have explained starting at 2:5, especially on the angular movements, elbow hinges, etc. This is very important for those who are not English speakers and, consequently, you would have wider audiences outside your country. Thank you!
Hi Jake, I've seen this video in the past and implement it but now have a question. When you load, transfer and expand using LAN2 does that change the shoulder alignment you already set perfectly at Set-up? What do you think about an opinion that shoulder alignment should not change from Set-up [to release]? Or have I missed something? Thanks in advance
Hey Jake! I was wondering what’s your take on my technique. I don’t do push-pull method but instead after my draw arm anchors, I push my shoulder out like towards the target to trigger the clicker and i get almost consistent groupings, not really tight (at 15m beginner) but very close. Thank you!
Jake...Just a quick thought...Who the Hell are the handful of people that hit the "Dislike, Thumbs Down" on these awesome lessons? really a rhetorical question but makes me shake my head. must be some competitors whose butt you kicked, I would speculate...lol
Hi Jake. Greetings from Malaysia. I am new to trad archery (asiatic - turkish bow). I believe olympic is the best form and scientifically research. My goal is to apply olympic form to trad archery (as much as possible). My 'seniors' at where i train kept telling me to extend my draw arm while pushing my bow arm to the point of 100% scapular retraction (til they meet) - they call this 'transfer'. I feel that it is a bit too much 'expansion'. Whats your advise on this ? Tqvm Jake.
Jake.. no matter how much I feel like I’m pulling through the shot, when I watch the slow mo footage of my release I see my elbow slightly moving forwards until the shot breaks. Have any advice on how to fix this?Is it possible to draw too far that I can’t continue to expand? Thanks for the awesome videos
So I am at full draw (100%) when I anchor and then "Transfer + Expansion" puts me to maybe 105% of my draw and it finishes there? That means "Clicker and Release" is at around 102.5% maybe? Or should I anchor at 97.5% so that I release at exactly 100% of my full draw. I hope you get what I am asking. This question came up after using a DIY shot trainer, I was like that Japanese archer from you video when I first used it; now I know what I have to work on!
Hard to explain without a video, I can do that soon. In the meantime, one cannot go more then 100% so in my definition I would say, holding is at 90% of capacity of movement and then expansion is up till 95% where release happens. You need to be able to move when needed.
@@JakeKaminskiArchery Thanks and well noted, that means I have been over-drawing the whole time which can explain inconsistency and left right drifts. Looking forward to your videos!
Sir, my chin is injured badly while shooting...and maybe that's why I'm having trouble in loading and expanding and releasing. I'm taking a lot of time to set the clicker off. I'm really stressed about it. I hope you'll help.
@@Waltham1892 Haha, fair enough. But on a serious note, I think it's important that he establishes his credentials since there is an absolutely humongous heap of bullshit around when it comes to dos-and-don'ts in archery. Knowing that you have a reliable source of information is crucial when trying to learn the proper techniques, especially if you're on your own and learning from RUclips videos only.

Thank you, Jake! It is so useful. Especially brilliant analogy "hinge in that pivot". It helps a lot!

oh yes that's it. what I could not understand for a very long time. thank you jake you make us happy as always
same for me :P
Excellent, Jake! All your videos are very interisting, well explained and I feel in each of them your eager to transmit your knowledge. Thank you.
I was wondering what I've been missing. I'm forgetting to push my bow forward. Thanks. I'm going to try this tomorrow morning. I can feel my groups getting tighter already!
Brilliant info, so much of what you talk about is what I've found myself thinking and feeling whilst shooting compound

Good to hear and glad to help.
Pull and push at the same time? I didn't know that. Thanks for explanation!
Glad to help.
I have enjoyed your videos. Can your concepts be applied to a trad bow hunting style rather than Olympic target style?
Good information and well delivered.

As your linking to the book and other products on amazon you should sign up for their affiliate programme is you haven't already.
Already have. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Bro, do you know coach prakash gangadhar? He's my coach
how to get the book sir

Makes sense
Would have loved to actually have you talk us through the movements while you shot.
How can, i get that book? From Indonesia
@@mortenjacobsen5673 where did you download it?
👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Jake
How can I send my videos to review kindly.
Best would be to sign up on Patreon at this point. I don't have the system set up to do it video by video yet.
Hey, Jake, have you ever won any kind of medal at the Olympics?
I don't recall you mentioning it...
Oh, come on. If you had, you'd be letting people know too. I know I would.
@@dick-gs9tb I one made out with a blond in the back seat of a VW.
I don't start every sentence with it though...
