Haha same here, haven't shot an arrow in 9 years. Started again last week. UA-cam archery game is so much higher level than a decade ago, it helps a lot
I wish there was a way to win a 1 on 1 coaching session with dudley i would gladly pay air fare hotel whatever to spend a day having dudley check my form bow/arrow build shot process ect
I can not get my thumb to sit straight under the shelf like that. As soon as put pressure on the grip my thumb goes up into the shelf hard. The only way Ive been able to get my thumb contact to be less is to put more angle on the grip. Is this what I should do.
My question is why are grips on compounds made to be shot wrong. Why do they not have a bulge so you palm will always be at a 45 degree angle forcing you to always be in correct form vs. Being a skinny uncomfortable rectangle. I shoot like you explain but it causes me to have residual pain in my bow arm elbow. I shoot trad bows as well but there grips are made better formatted for this kind of grip and never gives me issues because my entire hand can help resist the force of pulling against it.
Not necessarily. Trad archery often times involves canting the bow at an angle while shooting, which is exactly what you’re trying not to do here with the compound. There are some principles that crossover, but you’d be better to search for trad bow specific grip technique.
JD is the sole reason i love this sport.
He has helped me in my journey more than any other.
As we know, finding success is finding the love.

Thank you for the video. I just got back into archery so I'm relearning fundamentals. This will help.

Is it OK if it barely touches the line on the bottom?

I jusr got a bow and have the same issue

Does this apply to traditional archery also?

@@thediscipledsportsman3114 Why do you cant the bow in traditional archery?
@@robertbrandywine To keep the arrow on the shelf and against the riser for those who shoot off of the shelf and not an arrow rest.
Anybody else sad they cut away before he launched an arrow at that green bigfoot? 😂
