    You made some very good points in this video. Your explanation of parallax for bare bow traditional was spot-on. You also touched one of my personal issues: hand angle. I always anchor to the same spot, middle finger on the corner of my mouth, with pointer and ring finger touching above and below, but I can be inconsistent with my hand angle unless I pay attention to it. If you get sloppy, that very slight bend in the string can become several inches by the time the arrow reaches the target.

      I wonder how many neophytes noticed that/how the "hand angle" was impacted by the position of the elbow which affected the angle of the forearm which affected the hand...

    I asked one of our trainer to make a video while I’m shooting as I struggle with consistency. Was quite good to see that at times I move my head into the anchor position. Slightly but visible. Another issue they mentioned, and now I saw, just before release my right hand move a short bit to the front before fully release impacting the draw length consistency. I saw this video before and thought: oh yeah, beginner faul. And what ? I’m beginner and do the same. Need to work on that one and get rid of it. Thanks for your videos, Nu-先生. They are a great resource.

    I began shooting barebow with the anchor as you describe, finger at the corner of the mouth, for me jaw closed, not clenched, mid finger contacting the eye tooth. I soon realized that consistently, my index knuckle was at my cheek bone with my thumb knuckle at the back corner of my jaw bone- 2 repeatable pts of reference. Overtime I realized that that the string to nose and lips contact that I observed in other archers was possible without tweaking form-
    4 repeatable pts of ref 👊 bamm, gift of my DNA, face shape and hand size 😎🎯

  • @Gamerdude535
    @Gamerdude535 8 років тому +4

    There are some styles that doesn't use an anchor point per say. drawing past the ear for instance like what mongolian archers often did doesn't seem to have a reference to easily anchor at except for maybe having the string somewhere on the face

  • @Ace_USVI
    @Ace_USVI 6 років тому +1

    I couldn’t get my nose to touch the string. Really stressing about it. And my fingers wound hurt like hell. But the bow was to small, thanks to that observation, I got bigger limbs and it makes such a difference. Thanks!!!

  • @אוריהפלד-ש3נ
    @אוריהפלד-ש3נ 7 років тому

    Personally I used to anchor like most of the instinctive shooters, however I changed it to the olympic atyle. I shoot without sights, but I changed my anchor for a few reasons which I can't write all of them now, but underneath the jaw the arrow is at the same raw with the eye, so I have much less side misses. Still I have hight misses, and I am working on this. Thanks for the video

    By the same token, if one aims with one eye closed (like me), the anchor points need to be in a vertical straight line that passes the open eye. That's why mouth corner is a common anchor point: the mouth corner usually aligns with your pupil. If you don't do this, however, it may cause horizontal offset if you shoot long distance.

    Hi I have recently bought a Left handed recurve bow. I am more accurate anchoring on the right side of my face, instead of the left hand side, as I am supposed to do. Advice, should i do what suits me or should i be more traditional and practice left hand face anchoring.

    My reaction is IDENTICAL to that of F2V2 (below). The other videos on this subject simply aren't as clear and/or comprehensive, either in their explanations or their footage. Thank you! Are you by any chance available for personal coaching (compensated, of course) via Zoom or similar platforms-or perhaps by emailed video footage? I have watched a lot of your instructionsl videos, but I've never seen any direct reference to coaching. Please let me know!

  • @MikeMafiaII
    @MikeMafiaII 8 років тому +3

    I notice that when you anchor in the corner of the lip you move your hand up slightly, is there a reason for this? Is this maybe because (No offense meant, sorry if it does offend you) you are somewhat shorter? Thanks for the great vids, they've been really helpful

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  8 років тому +12

      No offense taken, but height doesn't affect how you anchor. I separate my draw, load and anchor steps so that I have the right back tension before going into the anchor. The movement is just me completing my draw and firmly going into the anchor point.

    This is HFava from Brazil.
    I enjoy all yours begginers videos. Since im a begginer :)
    Could you give one advice? Should I aim with one or two eyes opened. I did bought a 28lb bow. As my Sifu recommended. I can (in some way) reach the target at 15m consistenly. But I still have these question in my mind.
    I'll have another class only on saturday morning. However, during the week, I can pratice safetly in my place
    Thanks in advanced.

  • @Aebvtivs14
    @Aebvtivs14 4 роки тому

    I've been a barebow archer for 28 years, but having to take to recurve, with all the bells and whistles because of short term memory loss (which also affects where I string walk, and my point of aim - not good!). My problems are:- longer than usual arms, and glasses, so: I can't get the string to my chin AND my nose, without my elbow being out of position (according to a coach in my club). I also look 'up', so that I can focus through my glasses... any idea if there's something I can do differently?

    Sorry I’m late to the video, I’ve recently just found your channel and am watching all your uploads.

  • @grigoregiurgiu5659
    @grigoregiurgiu5659 6 років тому

    Hello nusensei, thank you very much for all your videos! I'm exploring diferent anchor points for instinctive shooting. I find the corner of the mouth to be the most accurate for me, but the string often pinches my cheek, and hurts. At an archery club they told me that i should use "three-below" for this anchor point, and the problem indeed is fixed. But i would like to use the corner of the mouth with "one-above, two-below", as it seems more natural to me. Do you have any sugestions to solve the string pinching the cheek with this technique?

  • @williamschristopher12
    @williamschristopher12 8 років тому

    Great video! Explains high shots...hey I feel most comfortable with using my chin as an anchor...more consistent shot placement and all...is that taboo for recurve bows? Would I look like a douchebag (more so than usual) if I went to range and used chin as anchor? Thanks

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  8 років тому

      Not at all. The chin anchor is more consistent, but harder to aim with a barebow. If you can make it work, use it.

  • @Cuisinenomade1
    @Cuisinenomade1 Рік тому

    What about a three under shooter? It feels as of the arrow will get caught between fingers and jaw line, yet going split fingers at short distances jncreases the gap significantly and I am not sure I like it, yet I do feel more comfortable and my shooting improves with the under the chin method but I feel I am not able to make much contact with my face, in fact I focus more on the back tension and the string touching my nose and mouth but as to my hand, I still dont know how to find a solid contact point on my jaw line

  • @Iverath
    @Iverath 8 років тому

    I recently started using an anchor point at the back edge of my jaw because my trainer said it's good for when I lated shoot long distances as a stringwalker. Does that sound like a good plan?

    • @renaissanceexodus
      @renaissanceexodus 8 років тому +1

      +Sutra Stevens I'm sure NuSensei will chime in too, but I also shoot traditional and have for a long time, so I figured I would add my opinion. When you are just learning, consistency is very important because it teaches and reinforces correct form. Wherever you choose to anchor, it needs to be consistent. I assume your instructor is trying to reduce the parallax that was mentioned in the video (the difference between the angle of the arrow and the angle of the arrow tip and your eye). I've never used a stringwalking method before, but I would assume the height of the anchor point (cheek bone, mouth, chin) would be more important than how far back it was drawn (mouth, cheek, jaw).

  • @JackstandJohnny
    @JackstandJohnny 8 років тому

    Ok, youve just made me want a sight even more than before. I was looking at a 3 pin hunting style sight because the smaller profile and ease of use. Would you advise against this and instead recommend a traditional olympic recurve target sight instead?

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  8 років тому

      This depends on your purpose. The 3-pin hunting sights are useful for hunting because you can pre-set several distances so that you can acquire a target at any distance and estimate the correct point of aim with the right pin. However, calibrating the sight requires you to use a hex wrench to move the pins. While this is fine for having pre-set distances, it is not very good for when you have to shoot from different distances as a target shooter would. Additionally, the "cluttered" sight picture from having multiple pins can make it harder to aim compared to a single pin sight.

      Yes. You can buy replacement apertures from most pro shops.

  • @morblitz
    @morblitz 8 років тому

    Hey NuSensai. I just had a session at home and my consistency was pretty... not consistent. It might have just been a bad session but I think I had some form issues, so I'm re-thinking my corner-mouth anchor point for the chin anchor. I don't yet have a sight and I don't know when I will get one. I noticed you said the chin anchor is ideal when you have a sight as you correct for the gap between arrow and eye. I know this is a subjective question, but is the chin anchor still viable without a sight?
    Cheers,
    M

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  8 років тому

      Yes, the chin anchor works without a sight. The downside is that it is harder to aim. It is, however, generally most consistent.

    • @morblitz
      @morblitz 8 років тому

      Thanks. That's an interesting trade off to balance. I'll try to transition to it and see how I adjust to the change in aiming. From what I've learned, it seems that consistency wins out as the more important component of a shot.

  • @tw8245
    @tw8245 7 років тому

    Small question Nu, you were talking about the under the jaw anchor for people using sights. Now I've found that's a great spot for me seeing as the tab I use has a ledge that i really like, and I've found your anchor and mine are very similar, yet I shoot instinctive and no sights. I really don't plan on using sights, so would you suggest trying to lift the anchor up closer to my mouth to improve accuracy? Or should I just stick with what I've built and not fix what isn't broken?

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  7 років тому +2

      Stick with what works for you. Consistency is the key; don't change just because you want to be orthodox. If there's a reason to change, it would be because you might find it harder to sight using a barebow method. Instinctively, if you can feel where the arrow is going to go, then your choice of anchor doesn't matter that much.

    • @tw8245
      @tw8245 7 років тому +1

      Good advice, I tell you what, i've watched your videos for about 2 months now, and I pretty much owe you a thanks because I have followed your instruction to borderline obsessiveness, and that has brought my groupings into a 3 inch ring. I'm actually trying not to break nocks now, and i'm not even using sights. You might be teaching olympic style, but it permeates all layers archery has to offer. Have you thought about making a DVD or an exlusive website with a comprehensive guide? I think it would help so many people out.

  • @TheMinxy76
    @TheMinxy76 8 років тому

    I've been shooting recurve for nearly 3 years but in the last year I have had (and still battling) a bad case of target panic. In my case i'm finding it a struggle to get to my full anchor point, as far as I'm aware the string is touching my nose, my string hand is positioned under my chin but the kisser button hardly touching my mouth. Also I find it tricky to hold for a few secs without flinching and end up just letting it go without getting into the proper form.
    I know one tip is getting someone to film/record you shooting but in the long run it's all well for that as the problem for the archer to try and overrun the brain/thoughts i.e thinking of the thought of proper form, reference points, holding on for a few secs etc...
    I would dearly appreciate some advice.

    • @NUSensei

    • @wildrangeringreen
      @wildrangeringreen 7 років тому

      I also use a low anchor these days (thanks, compound bow lol) whether it is with fingers or with a hand-held release, I anchor with my index finger running along the bottom of my jaw. my thumb, on the other hand, is pressed to the back of my jaw, where there is a nerve running around the back of the jaw. since it is a rather sensitive area, it is quite easy to tell if you are in the right position. with my thumb touching the nerve/back of jaw, and my finger running along the bottom of my jaw, I have a very consistent anchor; more so than when I anchored higher and/or farther forward on my face.

    • @sukhpreetsingh1454
      @sukhpreetsingh1454 7 років тому

      I'll give you some advice. You need to move up from 70 m to like maybe 50 m and work on your accuracy. You say you can't get the arrow where it needs to go and your score is terrible. You aren't accurate at 70 m and if you continue to shoot at that distance it will not help you.

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  8 років тому +2

      The chin anchor is better because it provides more reference points (chin, lips, nose). The use of the sight compensates for the gap between eye and anchor. If you're using a sight, there's no advantage to using a corner-mouth anchor.

    • @wayneashby5030
      @wayneashby5030 8 років тому

      I shoot an Olympic style 38# recurve bow. Another important advantage I found to using the lower chin anchor point, is that it makes it possible to adjust the sight down enough for longer distances. For me, when shooting out to 70 meters, if the anchor point is at the corner of the mouth, the sight can't be lowered far enough without risk of the arrow hitting it.

    I have a question about your sight, what scope are you using.

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  8 років тому

      Titan

      Thanks, I enjoy your channel. I've been learning a lot from you. Last question the scope is Titan Mico and what models.

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  8 років тому

      I use the Titan Recurve. The Titan Micro is the same thing but smaller.

    I'm a left eye and right hand dominated without knowing I went ahead to buy a right hand rise.
    Can I shoot on my left hand with a right hand riser?

    • @Nanorisk
      @Nanorisk 6 років тому +1

      It might be too late for my answer, but you should shoot with your left hand. It's much easier to train for left-hand-shooting, but almost impossible to change eye dominance.

    • @Nanorisk
      @Nanorisk 6 років тому

      Also you can shoot with a right-hand riser with left hand if you use thumb draw, but that's very uncommon.

    Trad instinctive archer myself but a solid anchor point is crucial!
    good shooting boils to:
    good stance
    back tension
    repeatable anchor
    focus
    clean release
    and practice

    I mainly shoot barebow, and am trying to branch out into shooting Olympic as well, but I find I get clearance problems when going to the chin anchor. I get a lot of contact between the string and my chest, which never happens when I use a corner of the mouth anchor. Anyone else experienced this?

    • @JackstandJohnny
      @JackstandJohnny 8 років тому

      Lee Price I just saw another video that touched on this. It could be that you are not squared up with the target, meaning co pletely to the side, perpendicular to the target. Women with much larger chests can do it so you can too! Im just learning right now but maybe have someone check your form, back alignment, shoulders...al that. Best of luck to you.

    • @NUSensei
      @NUSensei  8 років тому

      As Jackstand has already identified, you may want to think about your stance. Opening your stance will improve string clearance. You may also want to look at whether you are arching your back too much and puffing your chest out. Otherwise, you may want to consider using a chest guard so that you have a smoother surface for the string to slide off.

    • @leeprice133
      @leeprice133 8 років тому

      Thanks for the reply, to yourself and Jackstand. I will take this advice on board during practice. I'm just curious as to why this is not a problem for me when I am using the corner of the mouth anchor

    anchor point is the hardest part of archery imo

    • @Gamerdude535
      @Gamerdude535 8 років тому

      +social3ngin33rin I find the release more difficult in my experience. I anchor at the corner of my mouth shooting barebow traditional and anchor kinda just comes naturally for me

    • @social3ngin33rin
      @social3ngin33rin 8 років тому

      I have trouble because I don't like traditional anchor points so consistency is harder :(

    • @social3ngin33rin
      @social3ngin33rin 8 років тому

      for me it's mostly a consistency issue

    I enjoy your videos very much. I would suggest that you get something for a photographic background. You could pick one up at a photo supply or just get a big piece of dark colored carpet or rug. It needs to be dark so you will stand out as the main subject. Your backgrounds look too junky to me. Keep up the good work.

      It used to be more common in the 70s and 80s. Not so much these days.
