Hey Guys - thanks for watching! Anyone interested in seeing more from this series?? Also we're going to hit 30K subs this month, wanted to do something special. Any ideas?
Yes, love these technical videos with MFJJ. Been shooting archery for 25 years but always trying to learn and get better. I always pick up something I can use from these videos.
@@timbow50 everyone out here in the southeast are just dead set in their ways. It’s hard to find a bow shop that will work with you on what you want to do. Most shops will look down on you for wanting to try what works out west in the whitetail woods. It’s pathetic honestly
@@joshdennis8841 here in Michigan I’ve gone to so many shops telling them I want to try out a heavier arrow set up (550 grains 29inch draw @70 lbs) and they all tell me heavy arrows are a fad and I need a light arrow that will get there faster. Idk why they all argue when I tell them what I want.
Im new at bow shooting and this is pure gold for me. Im still figuring it out at the 20yd line and this video will for sure get me in the right direction for shooting longer distance. Please keep them coming.
What an awesome video! Thank you so much. Been around bow hunting my whole life and just got my own bow. Have been shooting every day and knew I was missing something. This was exponentially helpful.
I love these fundamental archery lesson videos. I think anyone who subscribes to this channel is looking to get better and this series is really helping. Thanks!
MFJJ the Wizard. I shoot everyday that I am home, BUT I move my head to the string. Didn’t used to be that way but after punching myself in the mouth a couple times with a thumb button I have changed my ways. Very informative, love it guys , keep up the good work.
Josh's passion for archery comes through on these videos and I dig his emphasis on the fundamentals of a shot and the importance of being consistent. No bullshit, no ego, just repeatable steps that all have a purpose. Great video, thanks again.
Great tip on head placement prior to daw... I never thought of that, but it makes total sense. Will encorporat this into my practice. Videoing yourself is so important and valuable!!
This is so great to watch. I love that Tim isn't already an expert. I think a lot of times experts overlook small but important things that they do naturally until it's presented to them by someone who doesn't do those certain things naturally. That makes Tim and Josh such a good combo to learn from. Will be conscious of my head position before drawing now! Also pumped that Josh is getting into YT himself. Looking forward to what I can learn from him in the future!
Thanx a lot for these clips with MFJJ. I've learned so much during watchin these videos from him, I wish to have such an sympathic teacher here in Germany with this amount of knowledge.
Great stuff, definitely interested in seeing more, great stuff for the off season/ pre bear season, it's awesome to get into some of the technical stuff I think everyone can always improve slightly and thats my hope for this year
A new step for me. To have my head/face in place and draw to that, vs. drawing back and fitting my face to the string. I am sure i'll need to reverse engineer this, but what a cool thing to work on on a calm Spring day.
Not sure if it's the angle of the camera or what. It actually looks to me that when your nose touches the string it's actually going over the string. Could just be me or it could be that it's just more comfortable to you. Great video, just went shooting with my wife today and working on her fundamentals. Glad to see MFJJ enjoying the UA-cam experience. Be glad you have someone like that in your corner he's a wealth of knowledge.
Idk I still a thumb release is a controlled punch. His release he squeezes slow stops then starts again. Much better learning on a straight tension release. Btw former compound shooter now recurve & it’s the same exact shot I just pull thru with a 3 finger tab!
I agree with everything accept the having in head in position as you draw. Unfortunately I have had releases break or I have fired before full draw and punched myself in the face 😂. I always draw with my face away from the string until I’m at rest now.
Great video. Lots of great information to be had, MFJJ is a great resource to have for you guys. When are you doing the shoot out with Dan would really enjoy watching that too.
At the 9 min mark. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you had to move your head because you were shooting at a pretty steep downward angle. If you were to aim at a target that is further or at the same height of your eyes (meaning that the arrow would be perfectly leveled with the ground at full draw), pretty sure you wouldn't have to move you head that much, your nose would hit the string pretty quick. Ive been tinkering with this and realized that to be consistent on every shot I wouldn't have to draw leveled to the ground to find my anchor at the same exact spot every single time, and then move to the target if it's lower or higher. Do you guys avec any thoughts on this ?
@@Mackahroney pivoting the hips for the correct angle while drawing the bow seems complicated no? The easiest way for me would be to draw leveled, anchor, and then pivot
@@Mackahroney in other words you always draw leveled to the ground, anchor, and then pivot your hips if you have to? If you look at Tim, he doesn't draw leveled to the ground (looking at the arrow angle). So he is either really good and correcting the angle of his hips at the same time he's drawing. Or, instead of drawing leveled to the ground, he keeps his bow arm lower so that he aims directly at the target (at a downward angle) after he has completed his draw cycle. If the latter is the case, his head would have to dip further down to find his anchor point, meaning that the distance that his head travels to find his anchor point (nose touching string) would be different on angled shots vs leveled shots, thus changing the relation between head position and peep which would impact POI. Think about it, go to full draw perfectly leveled to the ground, come to anchor. Do the same thing but before anchoring, aim to a lower target by just moving the angle of your bow arm and not pivoting the hips, then come to anchor.. Tell me your head didn't dip further. I hope my explication is clear. Excuse my English, I'm french Canadian
Your release is set too heavy that's why you're getting too much front end movement with your bow arm because you're having to pull so hard to get it to fire. IMO of course.
This is like watching any golf lesson in the last 30 years "stand like this, put your hands here, bend more at the waist...blah blah blah". Overly technical with a hint of condescension. That's the "teacher" approach where the instructor is presented as the source of all knowledge - "Let me tell you how to do it". That style of instruction doesn't create lasting improvement, it just creates dependence. You should instead be "coaching" the person on how to find the form and technique that fits them comfortably and is repeatable. It builds self reliance, and creates a form that is more likely to hold up under pressure.
Why would you draw a minute and a half before you shoot. Camera footage I guess. Repeat your shot process as close as you possibly can. If things don't work out, live to shoot another day. Be an ethical hunter every day.

bow give away :D haha
A 10 minute private lesson with Josh thru a webcam.
Hmm giveaway a spot at elkshape camp?
Keep doing what your doing!! You guys are Awesome 👏🏻
Yes, love these technical videos with MFJJ. Been shooting archery for 25 years but always trying to learn and get better. I always pick up something I can use from these videos.
"Yoga's the Sh$t man" LOL. I freaking love this dude.
Yes please on the Baby Bird Series. I learn something everytime MFJJ is on the channel.
Lol yeah he's a G! - TC
What TC says at 13:43 is a key component. Lack of body awareness. Focus on that and build your foundation. Love this series guys.
You bet G
God I wish my area had archery wizards like MFJJ. Everyone out here is so old school that they frown upon you trying to get better at archery.
Ignore the old school. Never stop experimenting. You may just find something that really works for you.

Wow I can’t believe I’ve been with you guys all three of you since before this video!

Just when I think I’ve seen just about all the Elkshape videos, there’s just more and more there for me to learn new info.
Bravo!

Awesome another great video. I’ve learned so much thanks Josh Tim and Dan.
Done! I stopped the video and subscribed to Podium Archer!
Thanks Roy!

Shot sequence starts 5:47
So helpful...... Just got my first bow 3wks ago.
Great stuff, definitely interested in seeing more, great stuff for the off season/ pre bear season, it's awesome to get into some of the technical stuff I think everyone can always improve slightly and thats my hope for this year
I did that trick with my lca easy press. I had a old cordless drill laying around. Works great 👍
Great series. Thanks Tim. I appreciate your willingness to learn on an open forum that allows others the opportunity to follow and learn as well.
Thank you !!
I just switched to FMJ arrows. I was way to light on my last set up. You guys are awesome thanks for everything. 👍🏹🇺🇸

Thank you guys for doing with the lessons! Podium Archery on their as well!
Of course, thanks for watching!
Good stuff!
Thanks!
Subscribed a couple weeks ago to MFJJ!!!
Thanks Elk Shape and also MFJJ really enjoyed that. Can’t wait to watch more from both Elk Shape and Podium archery.
Not sure if it's the angle of the camera or what. It actually looks to me that when your nose touches the string it's actually going over the string.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge MFJJ, always appreciate those more knowledgeable sharing things to help us be better archers and hunters

Loved it
I try working on shot sequence all the time, so I appreciate the info and tips
Love the content, brothers. Just subbed to MFJJ over on Podium Archer. Cheers
I like the theme music when MFJJ is teaching Tim. It reminds me of the karate kid. MFJJ is the best Mr Miyagi.
Great video. Lots of great information to be had, MFJJ is a great resource to have for you guys. When are you doing the shoot out with Dan would really enjoy watching that too.
Super useful master class
SHOOT OFF!!!! everyone loves a good little competition ;)
very helpful. Great video. Thank you.
good lesson good teacher
Ok signed up
What song are you using? The "Where theres a will theres a way" ?
Damn Good Teaching !!
it's always a great episode when MFJJ shows up. Learnt so much watching from him. Very excited he's started posting to podium archery again
Mandais cuerdas para arco,para cualquier lugar??
What about shooting with both eyes open I’d tried that last year a little
I always shoot to the left.. should i find a bow that shoots to the right so they wll cancel each other and hit in the middle?
What release is that?
so if my draw length is a 1/4 too short what would you recommend with the mathews 31 v3 thanks for the information
Perhaps its just me but have MFJJ look at the bell notification on his channel .
What seems to be wrong?
The bell notification didnt work at all . I just tried it again and its good now . sorry

Pivot your hips, anchors should always be the same
@@Mackahroney pivoting the hips for the correct angle while drawing the bow seems complicated no? The easiest way for me would be to draw leveled, anchor, and then pivot
@@thomascrevier1155 drawing and anchoring first was always before pivoting for me, I probably didnt get your question haha

where is this guy located I want to come have him do this with me!

It's ok to have an opinion! - TC
Bro, great video but fire the camera guy!
Is tim pulling to hard? I noticed that his back arm starts to shake a lot
Yes I noticed that as well. But something he can fix
Our boy just needs a few weeks at the gym... Some shoulder and back exercises
Peep peep
Having punched myself a few times I started moving my face out of the way. I need to fix that.
Josh you need some content on your Instagram page haha
CrossFitters always find a way to tell you they do CrossFit 😂😂😂
Great instruction, but slow down and package the delivery. It will overwhelm new-er shooters.
Make your own videos - you can deliver however you choose. - TC
@@ElkShape relax sport. Be humble enough to receive feedback. You did well.
Yeah this guy seems to get very insecure and defensive when the teacher engages him with corrections and pointers.
