Kim Woojin for sure, but also Ku Bonchan. I loved watching him shoot, and I really hope he makes it back onto the Korean team again. Also, Choi Misun and Kwak Ye Ji. Incredible releases.
Great video that is really useful for a beginner archer like me! I have made the same mistake that a lot of people make which is I am slightly over-bowed, trying to run before I can walk. Whilst I am in the process of getting stronger, is it better to struggle with a too heavy draw or to make life slightly easier by winding out the limb bolts and putting up with a stiff arrow and a de-tuned bow?
Thanks! Great question. Decreasing the draw weight is definitely the right thing to do if you are more focussed on getting good technique, but you just have to be realistic with grouping and remember that it won't be as forgiving.
Can you tell me why you suggest we hook the string in the digits of our index and middle finger and you say we should keep the string in front of the digit on our ring finger, Instead us using the deep hook ?your method does work better but can you please tell me why? yes I am a hunter and I use a traditional recurve.
The main reason is that hooking too deep on the ring finger makes the wrist more likely to be kinked, and also loses some of the connection to the draw elbow (and the draw side alignment). With the hook slightly forward it allows the hand and wrist to be more relaxed, and crucially to connect your hook to the elbow more easily, which then allows better draw elbow alignment, a strong full draw position, and then a cleaner release. The release is also quicker and the string can push the fingers out of the way more easily with this hook, compared to if it's too deep. In the deep case you'll have to relax more of the hand and the arm, rather than just the last digits of the fingers, which means it's more likely to have an outward release.
Another thing in regards to strength is simply use the lightest Bow you can find. I sort of made a mistake by purchasing a #40 recurve bow (it's closer to #43 at my draw length) and it would have made for a bad experience, other then I formerly shot a #30 bow a great deal between the age of 11-13 (too much bow at that age again) and a #55 compound between age 17 and 19(wonderful bow). So I had some old muscle memory for finding my anchor point and aiming quickly, before shaking. If I were to do it again, I would buy a three pice takedown bow, #18 or #20 limbs, get some arrows based on a chart, and shoot it till those arrows are worn out and mostly in the trash. Then upgrade to #30 limbs and new matching arrows. Do the same thing again, then go to #40 only once you can shoot 200+ arrows in a day at #30. Going to #40 right off the bat sucks because after about 50 arrows in a day, I'm done for accuracy and beging to develop bad form. Then it takes three days of rest to reset. A #20 would be awesome. Maybe I'll pick up a $140 #25 samick sage just for fun? Lol.
Actually I am really old school. I would vote for Darrell Pace. Developed his release practising by himself often shooting at night with truck headlights. And did it while still a teenager. Looking at old Videos of him shooting it still looks great.
@@OnlineArcheryAcademy Video of Darrell shooting at LA Olympics here ruclips.net/video/aTB2yrHvFnU/видео.html There are probably better releases out there these days (yours for example!!) but at the time it was revolutionary and still looks great!
While the below mentioned archers are amazing , I admire brady ellison . His release is unique. His fingers open completely but still his arrows are in the gold . I wonder how . Should I chase that release ?
You shouldn't chase his release, or anyones release for that matter. But chase the release that works for you and gives you repeatable, clean execution on each shot :)
@@OnlineArcheryAcademy Interesting. To me Taylor looks like hes making a hell of an effort (mentally) to appear that calm. Kim Wujin on the other hand looks like he could hit 10s in his sleep. Supremely effortless like a great blues guitarist who's been playing the same set every night for 40 years
Kim woojin, best release of all male or female. Then for women I think women have better releases in general compared to men and really good form also compared. I think the best release is from an archer in my club called Milana TKACHENKO.:) Also love the form of Mackenzie Brown:)

Kim Woojin all day long... Super smooth
Lee woo seok for how aggressive the follow through is
I agree! Great releases by both of them - I should turn this into a poll....
It's all about Ki Bo Bae!
She does have an amazing release!
I've found your videos the most informative and easy to digest very enjoyable , thankyou
Kim Woojin for sure, but also Ku Bonchan. I loved watching him shoot, and I really hope he makes it back onto the Korean team again.
Also, Choi Misun and Kwak Ye Ji. Incredible releases.
I love Kim Woo Jin's release! But as you say, so many to choose from!
Crispin Duenas has an excellent point on using a deep hook and because of that a unique release....
Thank you! Very helpful, especialy number 5 explains my right arrows when I am tired!
Very good explanation!
Awesome! Thanks for watching :)
3rd time I've looked at this video, it's coming together better for me, thanks mate !! I'm a better learner through visual approach
Great to hear! Keep working on it, you'll discover even more new layers of the technique over time!
Kim Woo Jin, Im Dong-hyun, Park Sung-Hyun. Their release is so smooth.
A beautiful example of how to shoot the bow smoothly is Cheng YiChai (China)...
those extra slowmo Park Sung Hyun videos are the real deal for me
They are amazing!
Great video that is really useful for a beginner archer like me!

I found An San has a fantastic shooting style. Her shot appeared to be like a powerful "punch", a Dynamic form.
I'm with you on this Robert, she is one to watch for sure - her technique is superb!
You are truly a teacher. thank you for all your help.
Thanks Cliff!
online achery academy is awesome.. im interested with you tool for back tension.. its good for practise spacular
Thank you for the tips. I watching this video for archery online classes. Abcolutely this video is really great :)
You're very welcome - happy to be able to help!
For 3-D or hunting archery I think Wolfie Hughes has a very clean release.
I'll have to take a look!
Chang Hye-Jin!
Thanks for the video, it’s a great learning experience :)
Lars Andersen, unstoppable release.
Very good
Kim Woojin for sure !!
It's hard to argue with that one!

Sound advice!

Absolutely 100% agree

Sjef Van Den Berg makes the best release because I think he hooks the string very well
He has a great release!
Bonchan Ku
Even practices it during matches when he's waiting for his turn without a bow
He does! That's a great way to refresh the mental feeling!
Love the release of
KANG Chae Young .
Arne Moe, Aron Snyder from Kifarucast and Tom Clum they all have a strong release.
Ki bo bae of course!!...
Such a strong release!
Ki bo bae. ki bo bae. Ki bo bae
She has an amazing release!
B. DHIRAJ ( INDIA )🇮🇳

Some of the champions they said, that holding shouldn't be more than 3 sec
Exactly, good timing is very important too! I'll do another video on that :)
