I take bad shots when my fingers are too tence and hooking the string too much at full draw to ancor. I think of it like cupping my hand to catch a fly on the table, dont need a lot of pressure on the fingers as a more relaxed approche. Smooths out my release !!!!
I'm struggling with it right now, shooting Olympic style. Little things, big negative effects - I figure I've finished getting better fast, picked all the low hanging fruit, and now I need to knuckle down and whittle down all the fine tuning. Thanks for the video.
What helped me to keep the hook was the touching of pinky finger and thumb. I set the hook on the string, little finger and thumb touch, i draw ( rotational), get into back tension and anchor, keeping pinky and thumb in touch all the time. The hook is absolute stable. At least for me.
Plucking is caused by you holding at full draw. When you hold, you cannot just let go because the string is piling on your fingers. Many people do a micro collapse to relieve this pressure so they can release. Rather there should be positive pressure (on the bow and string hands). The string is not pulling on your fingers, you are pulling on the string, just enough to keep the pressure without moving the string.this way you can simply “let go” of the string. To see what I mean grab your finger tips. Pull with each arm outward. Then simply relax your fingers, you will find you hands will move apart a little.
Excellent point, I had never thought of it and in all honesty this is the first time I have heard of it. I'll pay attention to that.
Yes sir I would have to agree the littlest things can change the outcome drastically. Thank you sir for sharing take care and God bless 👍🏽🇺🇸🏹
So many parts to keep in check its a real wonder that we hit anything let alone a 10. Thanks for your lessons!
I like the way you explain

Works for me us well. And this is a good hint for beginners us long they don't cramp.
Great looking range!
And I would talk about the ring finger.
ok. clear
great point
Thank you!! Show you scores!!!
Like your fletching show your work on that!!!
Please..,
Tough to show scores on a bag target. To see how good / bad I shoot, check out my other channel 3D Archery.
I have trouble with the string slapping me in the face on release. I'm three fingers under with index finger in corner of mouth.
Would have to see you shoot to say for sure, but sound like your release. You are pulling you hand away from your face as you release.
@@TradArchery101 Yes, I am plucking and trying to stop.

@@TradArchery101 Very interesting. I never heard of a micro collapse. I will try it thanks.
Thanks for the video Greg. Do you think it would be as problematic when using split finger?
Yes. Next question?
Hi!
Are you shooting the bow you made here?
No, that is my 1967 Ben Pearson Pinto
Nice looking Pinto
