Last tip is exactly what I found when I have a shoulder injury and need to lower my bow weight from 42lbs to 28lbs. The release feel like it is on another level of cleanliness even though the less bow weight it is the sloppy the release becomes. The high bow weight not only prevents you to do the correct technique, it also "shorten" your draw length (because you cant actually fully draw the bow back). Moral of the story, master lower poundage first and move up, your ego is only against you in archery
At my club there is always the “bertie big balls” attitude with the newer members - wanting to get to higher poundages asap and shoot longer distances. Most of them end up with poor results, yet seem reluctant to shoot say 20yrds but at a 60cm with a lower poundage but also won’t listen to advice…
Another thing I've noticed specific to Kim's shooting cycle is that he has this really interesting anchor position with his body, where he appears to lean BACK casually and locks his body almost in a casual nonchalant way, like someone drive with one hand out the window and the seat pushed back. This seems quite contra to most other archers, who keep pressure FORWARD and move the "weight" to the front. His whole draw cycle is so damn fluid and cool - just so much mastery over his bow with basically no notable shake or movement.
Hi Ashe! Kim Woojin is definitely the best archer in the world today. It would be unfair not to win the gold medal. He won the qualification, eliminated Marcus D'Almeida (Rank nr1), Mete Gazoz (gold in Tokyo 2020) and Lee Woo Seok (bronze in Paris 2024) in the brackets to reach the final. On the other side, Brady Ellison (7th in the qualification) had more luck with his opponents, theoretically more accessible. As we say in football, Kim Woojin was in the group of "death" and survived!
If you are launching a projectile, keeping the launch platform as stable as you can applies. This is target archery so it equals results at the target. Freestyle is much more instinctive and requires the right brain and practice. People dont think about follow thru. Its is an essential part of the shot but massively ignored. If you ask a top archer what they are thinking of when taking the shot, invariably they say nothing! You have to trust your shot. Not enough people video their shot. What you think you are doing is often very far from what you are doing. Now I am a rifleman and trigger technique is absolutely crucial. When people see the video of their actual trigger action they are often really surprised
Yeah. Indeed a great point! I started increasing my hand grip posture in this summer workouts an I definitely noticed a increase of grouping in the gold as you were explaining in this post. Thank you very much 🇮🇹🏹
Great content! I was observing the front stabilizer as you were pointing out the bow hand. What you’re describing is also obvious in the front stab’s position after the shot!
I watch your videos,Your videos are well explained and detailed but I wanted to know that is there any disadvantage if we have a big draw length in recurve archery
Something I've noticed coming back in after 10 years is that more archers seem to have their index finger of their bow arm on the front of the arrow shelf. Does anyone have any insights about this?
I noticed this as well and have been trying it. I only just started so I'm still getting used to it and find myself going back to my old ways though lol
@@lucpet95 I tried it at the range today and realized it gave me another reference point for my whole hand. Keeping it in line with my index finger meant that I was generally putting my wrist in the same spot each and every time, and somehow it made me "point" to the target more consistently, as though the whole riser was now in line with my index finger and with my thumb which would be pointing in parallel. It made torquing the bow seem less likely shot to shot and allowed me another way to find a consistent pressure point sooner. I went to watch videos and look at photographs of my shooting from when I was a young lad shooting much better than i do today (in the national team), and noticed i was doing something similar with my fingers back then too, but less prominently than what i'm observing these days where the finger seems to be much more obviously over the shelf.
@OnlineArcheryAcademy. Which is better, doing archery with dominant hand or your dominant eye,how to aim if you are cross dominant right-handed but left eye dominant.
Ashe covers this in his beginners course, he's suggestion is if you're a casual shooter, shoot dominant eye. If you think you want to try go pro shoot dominant hand. Because of the dexterity of your dominant hand. Personally I would ask a coach at your club, or maybe try both? Im a cross dominant archer, and the coach at the club I first started at was Adamant you should always shoot dominant eye, so that's how I learnt. Personally I think it's worked for me, shooting left handed feels natural now, and I can't aim at all without closing my eye if I shoot right handed and I prefer to shoot both eyes open.
I use a traditional medieval longbow my best day is 4 arrows into gold at 30 meters next week I try and do the same at 40 meters my goal is all 6 arrows in gold at 70+ meters.
@@kalbetc6664Partly but still a fact. Lim Sheyon also uses a two finger draw and a draw side high elbow that is not in line with what you normally see as standard among Korean archers.
He's not the greatest archer of all time...perhaps of modern times yes but not the greatest of all time since he uses a bow with stabilizers a sight and a clicker... The greatest archers of all time were the samurai, capable of firing an arrow in the opponent's eye from the same distance or maybe even further away using a basic yumi without all that modern shit attached to it

The best coaching on UA-cam. For sure!
oh man, was wondering where u went, welcome back!
Enjoyed that :-) Good reminders, cheers Ashe

good to have your good tips back❤
Excellent - thank you very much!
I think I am going to continue living under a huge rock.
Hes alive!!!
High grip
I notice the courses price is in Pounds currency, is it also available for people in the US with $ currency?

It's a more natural place if your fingers are relaxed - but it used to be discouraged (because of bowhunting/broadheads).

Finally bro wakes up 😢😂❤(I want to say thanks for your tips)
Ashe must have been on a media presentation course!
Yeyyyy, welcome back❤🎉
😂
At that level tiny things can mean the difference between gold and silver , he only bear Ellison by maybe a millimeter or two, literally
It was 5mm, but yes, tiny margins when you're that good
@@Migit78that means if they were beside each other in the target they would have been touching! That’s close!
@OnlineArcheryAcademy. Which is better, doing archery with dominant hand or your dominant eye,how to aim if you are cross dominant right-handed but left eye dominant.
i am using an eye-pad to cover the dominant left eye. i prefer to go for dominant hand, cuz i feel more comfy.

You know what you're talking about.
Finally
how does lim sihyeon drop her bow arm but still shoot consistently well
It doesn’t matter what you do after the arrow have left.
but wouldn't that be opposite of what he's saying in the video

I see. Thanks
I still think that Kim Soo Nyung is their greatest archer.

Heyy comment traders which country from type country flag emoji 🌍🌎🌏🌐
No argument the greatest archer of all time was Robin Hood lol.
🇮🇪
the koreans are best in the world no doubt, but remember jackson . aussy , was best in the world 2005
Haven't seen anything! I can't work out he to see anything at all at this Olympics. BBC coverage is dreadful!
Discovery+ has all coverage of every sport for £7 for the month!
@@OnlineArcheryAcademy oh wow! Cheers!
UK: with Virgin Media you get Eurosport (part of the Discovery family) expanded set of channels for the Olympics. Bit late now for archery!
