This actually makes sense. I shoot a hinge style release and I've always felt that tension lacking when I don't squeeze my shoulder blades close together(or as Dudley demonstrated, bringing the release closer to the face). I get stuck on the shot because I'm putting tension on the wrong places.
So...all of those years of puns about consulting my chiropractor weren't completely out of line after all. This is way more precise about alignment than I had understood.
Hi John, I learned a lot through your videos! I am 59 and just started to practice archery at another level. As a left handed archer it is difficult to buy a left handed bow here in Europe, they are not there for testing you have to order them! I also tend to tilt my head towards the bowstring, even though I bring my hand to my jaw!
Do it now, especially if you’re young, I did this incorrectly for years if not decades, causing rotator cuff tear and chronic shoulder problems. The man knows what he’s talking about.
the tension in you romboid should be a little lower and closer to the spine but alignment on the arrow line is perfect. To get the correct back tension your shoulders and wrist should be in a straight line. Great video. keep up the great work!!!
draw weight is a big deal for shooting correctly. do a vid on draw weight "ie" set in a chair feet off the ground parallel with ground and draw your bow smoothly
Im big dude, not weak... Id say pretty average strength for 6'3" 185lbs... I really think if I was shopping for a new target bow I would be looking at a 50lbs DW as long as I could reduce the letoff enough to feel stable/firm... more arrows per day with great form would be better for me than 75-100 arrows when maybe the last 10 or so with the form breaking down. *at TAC I noticed a lot of people doing lean back and yank draws towards the end of the day :O I think being over bowed is very common
You can achieve this same thing with a thumb button. The preload you put on the trigger is important but you apply this same technique to get it to fire. That pressure from pulling through on your finger will get it to fire
new to archery, 2 months in so this video is helpful. Question, I have both the silverback and nock 2 it releases, should I stick to the silverback for awhile before switching to the nock 2 it? Thanks!
The Silverback will drill in your good form but you can do the same technique with the Nock 2 It by applying preload on the trigger. I have a video about it on the channel.
Ah oui oui mon ami He has multiple videos on how to shoot the Nock2it thumb release with back activation. That’s how I shoot mine. Even if you have a different brand thumb release the technique should be similar.
Thumb up for your answer , for the video and for these few word in french. And i have to practice more to understand that. Says hello from me to Mr john.🤘 Pouce en l'air pour cette réponse, pour cette video et pour ces quelques mots en français. Et maintenant je dois pratiquer plus pour bien comprendre cela. Passe le bonjour a Mr john.🤘 (Gracias)

This is the best video I have seen on explaining exactly how to load your shoulder and back for a proper follow through shot!
Thanks !!
Been doing this wrong by incorporating alot of lat/shoulder complex and getting crazy pin float. I'll practice this Sunday.
John

Thank you! I have been looking for good videos on this exact topic. This tip has been exactly what I've been looking for.

Thanks Mr.Dudley.
Love the videos! Best!!!
Innovative. Never considered visualizing this. I’m going to try it out!
Awesome info as usual.
Do it now, especially if you’re young, I did this incorrectly for years if not decades, causing rotator cuff tear and chronic shoulder problems. The man knows what he’s talking about.
More tips for the tool box. Thank you.
Hey Dude! Great Info like always! And I was laughing my ass off about the let down comedy.😂🤣 very entertaining

Folks... This is no "little tip". Activating your shot with increasing tension is THE most accurate way to shoot a bow.
So should I be thinking of contracting my rhomboids or thinking of pulling the tip of the elbow back?
draw weight is a big deal for shooting correctly. do a vid on draw weight "ie" set in a chair feet off the ground parallel with ground and draw your bow smoothly
Got one on the channel!

What is with Mike Sloscher and his elbow?
Is this the same thing as putting pressure on your release with your trigger finger, and pulling through the shot?
You can achieve this same thing with a thumb button. The preload you put on the trigger is important but you apply this same technique to get it to fire. That pressure from pulling through on your finger will get it to fire
well that explains why I feel vane contact in my beard towards the end of a long shooting session... getting tired and drawing low

Oh man. Now I'm excited to shoot again
I finally get what people mean by back tension
Thank for this. Is it possible to use this tips with a thumb release?
Merci pour ça. Est ce possible de le faire avec un decocheur a pouce?
Ah oui oui mon ami

Quick question - I'm finding myself shaking when I get to full draw, my bow arm starts to get bad. Could I be pulling to hard against the back wall?
