Thanks so much! I was having the same issue and this has been extremely helpful in clarifying and helping to undertand how to transfer and expand correctly. Much thanks!
Happy New Years. Thank you so much. Lots of x rings from what you have shared. Really thanks so much. You taught me something that I never thought was possible.
Thank you so much. As I am currently training on alignment, this is very helpful. Moreover, I sent this video to "my" students, and I am working on this movement with my compound bow. It works pretty okay for the latter too.
Thank you Jake. Body position awareness without having to strain my muscles with using a bow or rubber band. Will train it for sure during my shoulder rehab program.
Thank for covering this topic! I just got home from the a practice session at the range questioning my alignment the entire time and how to get my shoulders to stack up so video couldn't have come at a better time for me. Kudos on the spiced up editing "Set-Up Alignment" section.
I love this. I am trying to teach some of my nieces and nephews archery, and a few of them are struggling with alignment. I am for sure gonna try this out for them!
Hi Jake, I'm a huge fan of how you explained the way to make easier the discipline of archery. I will like you to explained me some of your techniques but in the perspective of a wheelchair archer.
Tysm for this video. Ive reintroduced my clicker recently and my shot has felt forced and extra tiring on the shoulders. I must have been pulling beyond my draw length to force the arrow past the clicker. I can't wait to tty out this alignment practice tonight
Excellent instruction, thank you, thank you, clear delivery and super valuable content as always :) A few times in the video you said “you can get into alignment without increasing your draw length”. I’m curious whether you were inferring that increasing one’s draw length via this route would be a “false” increase I.e. problematic, perhaps that might enough someone to stretch beyond a sensible draw length and cause other problems, or in the scenario where someone has plenty of arrow left, can move their clicker, and can comfortably pull the slightly increased resultant draw weight, would it be better to both be in excellent alignment and lengthen their draw length? Best wishes and thanks v much for any further insight you’re able to offer.
I remember doing this to a young boy and he actually popped out his bowarm collar bone (sternum side) each time he did proper alignment. He had larger than normal upper and lower arms length difference causing this. Worked around it until his growth solved it. He shot very well during, even made national youth team.
Hi, hope you’re well I came across you UA-cam channel and been so useful just wondering if you could help please, I have a SF forged plus riser how do you adjust the tiller on it? Also the bolts for weight adjustments should they be even top and bottom or should one be more tighter then the other? Many thanks Becky 😊
Thank you Jake. Please make the next video on anchoring. I always release before my proper anchor. Help me with learning how to not release before my anchor
I think you are dealing with target panic. If you can’t anchor before releasing because you cannot control it, that’s target panic. If it’s a physical thing that you cannot physically anchor that’s another issue and I have several videos on how to find your anchor on the channel
What has really helped me with target panic were two drills. The first focuses on aiming, where you perform your entire shot cycle with the express intention of NOT releasing. Instead, hold your aim on target at full draw for as long as you can. I typically release after 30 seconds max. The second is just blank bale shooting with the focus your release. It didn't completely remove target panic, but it helped me to break down my shot cycle and work on the weaker bits. That definitely helped improve my confidence and focus at the range.
This is great. I do have a question. When you set the barrel of the gun, you are dropping your draw side elbow some. Is that intentional? Thank you for the clarification!
Thanks Jake, I have been wondering about this lately. Question: Shouldn't your draw length be determined by where you naturally reach maximum scapula motion when "fully aligned and expanded" rather than having some desired draw length determine how to "compensate" with your shoulder rotation?
I also lift my right heel. So yes. It gets there and it is a reasonable shot. But not good enough. A good shot starts from the bottom up. Not top down.
I'm Mahlon, I'm a beginner archer but I'm in wheelchair and must of the tutorial video are for regular person. I will like you to help me by showing me how to modify my bow correctly y setting it sight in my perspective. Or tell me what pages will be useful. Thank for your time.
Imagine i would make a tool with my 3d printer which is just like your tool except it has a grip holder where you can put your own grip on the holder. It would make it much better because you use your actual grip that you use for shooting.
I personally don’t like that, one needs to learn the structure of a proper grip. If you rely on a grip to put your hand in the correct position, you won’t know where optimal or realize a change in position is before it’s too late. Plus the grip won’t be locked in space like it is on a bow, so you can freely torque it in all directions.
The problem I have is achieving alignment using barebow. I can do it with an olympic-type anchor, but not with a barebow anchor unless I want to hit my nose. I have an intermediate barebow anchor, not a high one. I don't like hitting my nose. Is this just a lack of neck flexibility? Or is this a limitation of a barebow anchor?
I had this problem and I solved it by making sure I wasn't pressing my fingers toward the face at full draw. Pressing your hand in for a solid anchor is not about pressing your fingers too. Another thing was working on the basics: a soft release by relaxing the fingers.
So I re-watched Jake's "My barebow anchor explained" and it looks like the barebow anchor is the issue if you don't want to wear tape on your nose. Answers my question. I do find that re-watching the videos provides additional AHA! moments I missed the first (few) times. And one more reason for not anchoring on the eyetooth? I don't like the look. Really, there are almost as many barebow anchors as barebow archers and many of them seem to work pretty well. I do like watching the Lancaster 2023 finals to see anchors, follow-throughs, equipment, etc.
@@rick1774 The anchor point cannot be arbitrary (like the corner of the mouth) but should come from what works with your body. I anchor under my jawbone on a specific point because that's where I can get into alignment. IIRC this video has a good strategy to find your physiological anchor point ua-cam.com/video/nr3F96kqv9k/v-deo.html
@@davidegirardi My anchor seems to be OK using his method. But that's a very interesting video for all the other stuff he covers. Definitely helps to get more than one explanation of all this stuff and he had some things I hadn't heard that were great. Thanks again. I'm thinking one of those drills makes a good Xmas activity. Mystify the kids a bit.
A lot of times I shift my feet and twist my hip. I even bend the right knee and twist my torso. And damn. I completely messed up everything. Then I step into the bow all wrong.
Hi Jake, ¿Have you managed to solve the sound that your Axia Foam Limbs made? ua-cam.com/video/HQa6dp3yHOI/v-deo.html I have a similar problem with my Axia Resin Limbs, when I pull back it sounds one or more clicks. But if I pull back and let down without releasing and pull back again it doesn't sound anymore. If I shot it sounds again. It's uncomfortable and I can't fix it.
Yes, my limbs were replaced by Hoyt. If you have any gap between the plastic piece and the limb at all, it’s defective and warrantee-able. Also keep an eye on the base of the limb for what looks like delamination.
Happy to see you using the Morin 's trainer . He is my coach in Montreal .
Thank you once again for clarifying this issue. You continue to refine this one movement which is so important to keeping shoulder health.
Thanks so much! I was having the same issue and this has been extremely helpful in clarifying and helping to undertand how to transfer and expand correctly. Much thanks!
I stumble upon your videos because Clay Hayes mentionned you as a great source for learning archery. You earned a new sub today. I like your content
Thank you it helped me a lot ❤

Very good, that's exactly what I'm working on right now.
Thank you for this great exercise👍😊
I really needed this one. I can train. On this while I wait for my replacement limbs... (Fun delamination at full draw just as I released)
Velos?

The best tool to lean proper technics .

Good job
Great video as always, Jake. You should definitely throw on another shirt for the next one though😂
It was like 50 degrees… a thermal and two sweatshirts was barely enough.
I’m just givin’ ya a hard time, man! Stay warm!
Oh I know. Just sharing the struggles of the Florida Man.
Do a comparison video of sport archery archery form vs war archery form where they lean forward and put thier back to it.
Thank you Jake. Please make the next video on anchoring. I always release before my proper anchor. Help me with learning how to not release before my anchor
Control your body! Just imagine, your fingertip gets cut off when releasing earlier than beeing at your anchor😂
I think you are dealing with target panic.

Is this for compound also?
@JakeKaminskiArchery, could you demonstrate this with a compound as well please? Or explain if there are any differences..

Sono pienamente d'accordo che per allinearsi si deve usare il braccio dell'arco, ma il pericolo è l'innalzamento della spalla
