The expansion is a hugely important part of the shot, but it can be hard to evaluate on your own. I show you what to look for, and how you can use simple tools (such as your phone camera) to get useful feedback on your expansion.
In a future video I'll cover how to work on your expansion and what good expansion technique looks like.
Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

That was exactly what I needed to learn. I feel like I've had to fight against my body to achieve full alignment, and I've used the expansion to rotate hard that last bit. Seeing this, I now understand why I shoot better when I allow myself to achieve incomplete alignment- because I'm holding still during expansion. I need to improve my loading process such that I achieve full alignment prior to anchor.

Thank you! Another great video!

[@bengteriksson8000]

I thank the app Ash mentioned is ”Coach’s Eye”.

[@OnlineArcheryAcademy]

That's the one :)

[@himadri17]

Another very informative way of showing how it is to be done. Keep up the great work. Can you make one for Release for beginners. Regards and thanks.

[@OnlineArcheryAcademy]

Thanks Himadri! Absolutely, I'll do one on the release in the future - do you want one focussed on how to analyse the release or how to work on it? Or both?

[@himadri17]

@@OnlineArcheryAcademy Sir, that's perfect. It would really be great if you could do both. From a beginner's perspective, release is just moving the fingers out which I understand is not what one should do.
Your videos and tutorials have always being my strength and what I decipher from them is what I pass it on to my son. Regards.

[@donaldenox6332]

Thanks for the video Ash.. Most helpful

[@OnlineArcheryAcademy]

Thanks Sean! :) Thanks for watching again :)

[@sonjakilb6832]

Thanks Ashe, an great video again, with a detailed analysis, but the question is : how can you eliminated such wrong movements? It is often subconscious.

[@OnlineArcheryAcademy]

Thanks Sonja! Very true - I'll make another video to cover this :)

[@kyleadamson]

Just starting to make my way through your technique videos, great help thanks!
If there any chance of an anchor specific video ? Find myself struggling with this.

[@OnlineArcheryAcademy]

Great suggestion! I'll do that!

[@kyleadamson]

@@OnlineArcheryAcademy Much appreciated!

How korean archers fletch spin vanes usign outnock, do they tape back? what they do with the smaller finger and thumb at anchor position?

[@OnlineArcheryAcademy]

Normally they don't tape the back, I also prefer not to tape the back as I find it easier to get a consistent angle of the SpinWing without back tape. The thumb and finger varies between top shooters, even on the Korean team - but most tend to have the pinky lightly curled, and the thumb either at 45deg hanging down or pretty straight along the jaw. There are a couple of examples that might help here: www.onlinearcheryacademy.com/recurve-technique-set-hook-grip/#set-thumbpinky

[@cristianrojas4969]

What kind of lenses are you using in the video? I mean, di you need them to focus on the target or on the pin sight?

[@tomson2018]

so, is ok if the head follow a little bit the string hand (backwards) during expansion? some of my coach teach that the head must stay fixed and the string hand must slide backwards a bit on the lower jaw to trigger the clicker. i think they are realy realy wrong.

[@Whowhatwhere351]

what is the app you use for the lines?

[@OnlineArcheryAcademy]

Coach's Eye :)

[@macromind6367]

Which app is this

[@OnlineArcheryAcademy]

It's Coache's Eye :) Thanks for watching Khushi!

[@macromind6367]

Welcome

[@josephstearn3393]

I think the shot of you didn’t have body movement at all, it was just camera movement from the person filming ;) If you want to analyze such small movements you really need a tripod I think.

[@OnlineArcheryAcademy]

I'll definitely have a tripod next time :)
