Badass content as always! I am curious what advice he would give on the foot placement. Fyi, I think MFJJ was way more brutal with Tim when he did the same thing. Humble in life is a good thing. Take care. -Love from NH
Great video, some of my favorites in the youtube archery sphere! Was really expecting him to get you on some victory xv arrows while you were there lol
Now can we get back to the most comprehensive arrow video series!?! You said it was going to happen this year!! But serious. Digging the content and what you are doing with your brand.
@@ep3389 Sorry buddy but I pay something everytime I go in to my local archery shop. I tip ten bucks even when they don’t charge me. I’ve learned more from UA-cam from people like MFJJ and other pro channels then my local shop owner knows. I drive an hour outta my state to another better shop because my local shop doesn’t pay enough attention to details for me. I’ve drove to Lancaster archery twice before I found the shop an hour away and Lancaster is 2 1/2 hours away. I got no problem paying for great service and knowledgeable staff. In my opinion my local shop is great for beginners and people that want basic stuff. I like tinkering around and the local shop doesn’t have products to even so I have to order offline and learn what I can online.
@@darkwandervids6717 I'm lucky to have these guys 1hr away myself and I have been to a few other notable stores... Customer for life! The place reeks of carbon, aluminum, and PASSION! Great crew all around.
MFJJ: “I thought you’d smell a little more musk” translation: your manhood is in question 🤣🤣 .. always fun to hang with the wizard of archery. Way more front pressure visible after the changes 👌👌
After the CrossFit work out with Dan and his wife I’m questioning my manhood as well!! Had a few nice compliments on the video work during the segment. Thanks for that!
This actually made a lot of sense to me. I've always noticed the obsession of anchor point, but never at up or downhill scenarios. This may be a game changer in a lot of circumstances. Going to pay close attention to this. Great edit B Mac👌
I’ve been doing some up and down hill shooting the last two weeks and it is a totally different feeling. At 30 degrees I wouldn’t shoot an animal over 30 yards. Not confident at all with it
Brandon, best dang video I have seen on shot process in a long time. Josh Jones is so knowledgeable about the archery community as a whole, his opinion is highly regarded. Thank you for a fabulous video, top notch as always. P.S. when you start carrying man sized shirts (2x) I will certainly get one. God bless
I already enjoy your videos and often learn new tips, but with MFJJ, it's a whole new level. Look forward to seeing a follow up of your thoughts on the changes in a couple, few weeks.
It's always great to have someone watch your form and see the things your doing without knowing..it took me a while of watching videos of myself shooting and watching school of nock to figure out my draw length was 1/2 to long and man did it make a difference everything feels so much more smooth and consistent and compact
@@brandonmcdonald6121 yeah when it comes down to it neither do I lol wish we had some places that I could trust around here to give me some pointers...can't even trust them enough to set up a bow 🤣
It’s really the best money I’ve spent on archery related equipment( and I just bought a v3 also). It’s a lot of money for a release but it’s well worth it
what an honor to be with such a good coach , i too have my own MFJJ right here in PINEVILLE, LOUISIANA . I suggest next time you go to the great state of TEXAS to do a hunt , alter your route to go right through central , Louisiana to get there ! JAY'S ARCHERY SUPPLY , Jay is a one of a kindda , just so happens his initials are JJ also LOL ! . anyways , enjoyed this video much my brothers !
That was absolutely fantastic and gave me something to think about. Sadly I don't have a pro shop with a quality Archery coach like MFJJ even remotely close to me. As I mentioned before I have a 2006 PSE Fire Flite 33 left hand that's set at 60 lbs and 29 in draw with 75% let off. I recently had a custom bow string and cable put on and I upgraded my release to a $100 single hook trigger release, a black gold 5 pin no floater sight and a Hamskea Primer rest over a whisker biscuit. I even watched a how to become a better archer series by John Dudley and follow the reminders and steps. I still end up shooting fliers or too high or too low. With broadheads and with field points. Thanks for sharing this video Brandon.
I loved the over the top draw note for all the people who seem to think that the human body is a machine that works the same way for everyone😅 and it is kinda fun to notice that when a normal guy draws a little bit weird everyone gets toxic. But when a guy like cam does it only a few people say anything about it. Might be that its a little hard to argue about the shooting style of a guy who can hit a dinner plate from over 200 yards😅 great video as always, keep em coming👌
Awesome material from two of my four favorite archery wizards :) That sort of vids people watch several of times, like kind of Bible ;) I dicovered today, that pulling through the wall - or rather pushing bow forwards - adds some extra fps which rezults in arrows landing randomly higher above the center. Even this tiny element, must be done consistently and pulling should take every time the same amount of strength. Anyway, please, keep making archery treasures like this, Brandon :)
The cinematography in this video was low key dope. Surprised nobody has mentioned it so far. Very cool vid in that regard and great advice as well. Has me rethinking my DL a LOT.
Dude. That was great. Thanks for traveling out there and sharing the video. I like your humbleness and ability to take feedback without ego. MFJJ broke down elements of your shoot physiology I'd never even thought of. Great stuff. It reminded me that I have the Archery School of Rockies out here in Colorado Springs. I need to get some training from there.
I used to kinda think Brandon was a tool but always enjoyed his content and have really took a liking to him after seeing him and Tim’s and Josh’s and James’s interactions! I’m a big enough man to admit when I was wrong, and I was wrong about Brandon he seems like a really kool dude, highly unlikely this comment reaches you but just needed to put this out there lol 😂
It’s amazing what a 1/4-1/2 inch can do. I recently switched my handheld release and it shortened things up a noticeable amount. My hold instantly steadied up and my groups definitely shrank.
I’m having an issue deciding on which pack is best for my money. If you could indulge me Brandon , a glass of scotch in hand is optional yet encouraged; these are my options. •KUIU PRO 3600/ PRO LT full system •Stone Glacier KIOWA 3200 •Mystery Ranch pop up 38 I appreciate your time and consideration.
They’re all super solid choices for that size of a rig. I think it’s when you start getting into the bigger packs where you may be taking out 100-130lbs of meat that you really want to make sure it’s a hauling machine. Pick the features you like the most or the price and go for it. All solid choices although I tend to like the Sitka packs the least for the $$
I was always a 30" DL and dropped to 29.5" DL over a year ago, what a difference, especially in those awkward positions like shooting sitting down in a blind.
Love watching MFJJ's bow reviews, awesome, honest and to me seems non bias! Thanks for sharing...OH, by the way, welcome to the not quite 30" draw length club!!! lol
10:14 If drawing with a high elbow isn't most efficient, then what is? Most guys who shoot compound and don't do the chicken wing draw draw with a high elbow because they need the leverage early on in the draw cycle. Compounds draw weight ramps up really early in the draw cycle, unlike traditional bows. When done properly the high elbow gives your body massive leverage over that back shoulder joint whilst also pulling with your back. I view it as a modified pullup on that side of the body. For me personally, the higher I put that elbow, the easier it is to pull. That doesn't necessarily mean its the healthiest way for some peoples shoulders, but I do believe it to be most efficient. I'd love to hear your thoughts Brandon.
I think the reason I don’t like it as much, even though I do it for all the reasons you mentioned, is it’s a really big movement. Animals can see really big movements!
Interesting ................ I typically miss low left . Same bow but currently 29.5" draw............ Well, here goes some more dollars and tinkering till season starts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! I'm a long draw guy battling with a few things and had my suspicions on what it is. I shoot 32" DL and on my old Bowtech Insanity CPXL I dropped to 31.5" DL. Gave me much more "control" over my bow. So I ordered my Traverse with 31.5" mods at 85% letoff. When I measured AMO DL on the bow it came out to 32.25" Over time I realise that the DL can be too long although it "Felt good" but when I loose a bit of focus I too miss to the left. I'm just not sure if 31.5" at 75% letoff will have the same 3/4" overdraw. So, I will test 31.5" and 31" mods at 75% letoff. Learned a lot from this video, thx Brandon & MFJJ
@@keithdodson7536 On my CPXL I had 80% letoff. I were at 32" DL for about two years then dropped it to 31.5" Had great control and over here in South Africa got my National Colors in the Africa leg of IBO in 2018. 2019 again but with the Traverse. But it was much harder work. Still want to test 31.5" 75% mods. Think the lower percentage letoff will help with shot execution.
I learned a few things watching this I'll have to double check my draw length by looking up and down. Then the up hill down hill suggestions I'll have to try that as well .
@@brandonmcdonald6121 I did this today but didn't think to video my self doing this , but I can say this I went down then up then down to my target and never had to move my head and my release had stayed in the same spot
Thanks for the video. I have struggled with my V3 shooting left and not always shooting good groups. Heading to the pro shop tomorrow to get the 80 mods and may change the draw length. I've always felt like it was just a little bit too long.
Takes balls to do what you just did because it takes so long to get a shot cycle down and hearing someone tell you to change stuff is not a good feeling. I changed my anchor for trad bow which did wonders for my consistency but now I can't stop shooting high.
My business partner constantly says the most important thing is to be 100% coach able. Probably just feels he needs to keep reminding me but there you go.
Soo good! I've been thinking about cutting ¼-½" off my draw but without someone really there to check muscle placement etc I'm not sure if it's because I switched to a hinge after years of super short wrist rocket releases or its actually long.. keep up the great work!
My initial thought was that this was a western dude 😳 trying to brow beat u into shooting the 4mm new micro FMJ's. Then I recognized Podium shop & was relieved. The dude knows his stuff. My tip to u is to practice more on the downward angle. I actually fire half my arrows downrange from a 🌳. All @ 3D targets. Why?...cuz I hunt from a stand or saddle always. After I got over my elbow & shoulder injuries a year ago I noticed that my 2 bows were quite different when shooting from a saddle. If I never got into the saddle thing I would have never discovered this. A light 💡went off in my head when he had u draw up & down. To me I owe 90% of my accuracy to my Stan & my anchor point. Last year the Bowmar nose button brought that up a tick. In a hunting situation it really helps when I draw on a target or an animal below me.
@@brandonmcdonald6121 I had to watch this again since it is very therapeutic. Most of the things he talks about I've done by instinct which has required no thought process @ all. Mostly with the different stances. I've hunted from stands backwards facing the 🌳 like I was a saddle hunter even though I knew nothing about a saddle other than for a horse. When u had problems b4 u recognized that u needed to be more flexible. I think of the movie Fight Club & some of the quotes Pitt had. Like the ones that started with "I say". A bow I keep around even though the draw length is too short is the Prime Centergy. I have made it work with the draw specific cam by having the highest letoff which I hate & use a more forgiving & longer D-loop I made out of the BCY #23 green d-loop cordage. In 🥶 weather late in the season this bow with me have no compare. I couldn't D.M. u on your latest Mathews V3 video. Most the reply messages from that video to your viewers is a text back scam. It has happened on other archery channels like Creek Kings in Ohio. They have warned their viewers not to respond to that Hack. Thought u would want to know & I'm hoping 2022 is better for u.
Love your videos. Curious to know your (and MFJJ's) thought's on stabilizer bars. I've seen MFJJ briefly mention them on an Elkshape video but nothing in depth on advantages/disadvantages on longer (15 in) vs shorter (8-10 in) front bars, back bars, etc. Same with running a sidebar vs a separate front & back bar. Straight bar vs 10 degree offset, etc. Thanks.
If you would have stayed at 85% let off you would have been illegal hunting in Colorado. On my No Cam and Triax I used to have I had to go to 75% let off cause they didn’t offer the 80% like my Creed. I actually started liking the 75%, Felt like it kept me more focused. Was interesting on on the length and the where you would miss.
Terrific Big Tips from MFJJ... Curious what you felt in your front grip after draw length was shortened. And what MFJJ ment when he said " Ya, your grip touches a lot better now." Was there just more visible compression into your hand? Going to give Big Tip #5 a try and see what results I get. Look forward to what foot placement changes he tells you to make after you try it too.
He was shooting a higher wrist position which is difficult to maintain. His hand now has as much pressure in the throat of the grip as the heel of the grip which will make shot after shot more consistant.
I think josh is right. I noticed it a lot more in the TAC shoot this weekend. Shooting flat is 1/3 of the battle. Shooting inclines really made me pay attention to that grip pressure more.
You should see your whole sight ring. If you see to much of it its hard to find consistency. If you see way to much of the sight ring you can get a smaller peep sight but beware if you go to small then not enough light passed through. For target archery it will be ok but for first light hunting you will run into problems.
If it’s not a slider scope I like to see most of the ring but no light around it at draw. If you’ve got Light around the housing that you can see through the peep the good news is your groups are about to get a ton tighter
Thanks for watching and thanks to Mfjj for the knowledge!!

Continually impressed with MFJJ. Undoubtedly one of the most knowledge individuals providing archery information.
Undoubtedly one of the most valuable archery tip videos I’ve ever seen.

I'm just not sure if 31.5" at 75% letoff will have the same 3/4" overdraw. So, I will test 31.5" and 31" mods at 75% letoff. Learned a lot from this video, thx Brandon & MFJJ
I shoot a Insanity CPXL also at 30 in dr.length. Whats your letoff on the CPXL? Also has your accuracy increased by changing up your dr length? 🏹🏹
@@keithdodson7536 On my CPXL I had 80% letoff.

Try shortening and also make sure that elbow direction tip is for you and that style of release
Soo good! I've been thinking about cutting ¼-½" off my draw but without someone really there to check muscle placement etc I'm not sure if it's because I switched to a hinge after years of super short wrist rocket releases or its actually long.. keep up the great work!
Worst case scenario you just stretch it back out
My initial thought was that this was a western dude 😳 trying to brow beat u into shooting the 4mm new micro FMJ's. Then I recognized Podium shop & was relieved. The dude knows his stuff. My tip to u is to practice more on the downward angle. I actually fire half my arrows downrange from a 🌳. All @ 3D targets. Why?...cuz I hunt from a stand or saddle always. After I got over my elbow & shoulder injuries a year ago I noticed that my 2 bows were quite different when shooting from a saddle. If I never got into the saddle thing I would have never discovered this. A light 💡went off in my head when he had u draw up & down. To me I owe 90% of my accuracy to my Stan & my anchor point. Last year the Bowmar nose button brought that up a tick. In a hunting situation it really helps when I draw on a target or an animal below me.
I need to get my nose button back on. Miss that thing for sure. I also need to take more time prioritizing shooting hills....
@@brandonmcdonald6121 I had to watch this again since it is very therapeutic. Most of the things he talks about I've done by instinct which has required no thought process @ all. Mostly with the different stances. I've hunted from stands backwards facing the 🌳 like I was a saddle hunter even though I knew nothing about a saddle other than for a horse. When u had problems b4 u recognized that u needed to be more flexible. I think of the movie Fight Club & some of the quotes Pitt had. Like the ones that started with "I say".
A bow I keep around even though the draw length is too short is the Prime Centergy. I have made it work with the draw specific cam by having the highest letoff which I hate & use a more forgiving & longer D-loop I made out of the BCY #23 green d-loop cordage. In 🥶 weather late in the season this bow with me have no compare.
I couldn't D.M. u on your latest Mathews V3 video. Most the reply messages from that video to your viewers is a text back scam. It has happened on other archery channels like Creek Kings in Ohio. They have warned their viewers not to respond to that Hack. Thought u would want to know & I'm hoping 2022 is better for u.
Love your videos. Curious to know your (and MFJJ's) thought's on stabilizer bars. I've seen MFJJ briefly mention them on an Elkshape video but nothing in depth on advantages/disadvantages on longer (15 in) vs shorter (8-10 in) front bars, back bars, etc. Same with running a sidebar vs a separate front & back bar. Straight bar vs 10 degree offset, etc. Thanks.
Losing track of the Pro Tips,.....awesome
I've never heard mfjj say "that's really good" so many times in one video lol
If you would have stayed at 85% let off you would have been illegal hunting in Colorado. On my No Cam and Triax I used to have I had to go to 75% let off cause they didn’t offer the 80% like my Creed. I actually started liking the 75%, Felt like it kept me more focused. Was interesting on on the length and the where you would miss.
I had to take a gut check and go to a 29.5 inch draw length too haha
Listen... it’s 29 3/4 😀
Man would have been nice to have that little secret on switching up your feet to always get the same peep view when your eyes are closed
I'd put money on it that a Matthews with a 29.5 inch mod measures close to 30 inches
Ive measured before and the Mathews was long, but not that long.
7:19 that’s what she said!
Fucking knowledge bombs
…so does cam Hanes. And Chris bee who makes 76 lbs look like a bowl a Cheerios. Also the arrow flight looked beautiful to me?
Man I really need to do that
Make it happen! Worth the trip
I had an issue with elbow pain. Watched @elkshape video on using the right muscles. No more elbow pain.
Brandon got back 😂
Probably the only brand I haven’t shot yet.
Terrific Big Tips from MFJJ... Curious what you felt in your front grip after draw length was shortened. And what MFJJ ment when he said " Ya, your grip touches a lot better now." Was there just more visible compression into your hand? Going to give Big Tip #5 a try and see what results I get. Look forward to what foot placement changes he tells you to make after you try it too.
He was shooting a higher wrist position which is difficult to maintain. His hand now has as much pressure in the throat of the grip as the heel of the grip which will make shot after shot more consistant.
I think josh is right. I noticed it a lot more in the TAC shoot this weekend. Shooting flat is 1/3 of the battle. Shooting inclines really made me pay attention to that grip pressure more.
How much of my sight ring should I be seeing through my peep? I feel like I see more than I should. Thanks.
You should see your whole sight ring. If you see to much of it its hard to find consistency. If you see way to much of the sight ring you can get a smaller peep sight but beware if you go to small then not enough light passed through. For target archery it will be ok but for first light hunting you will run into problems.
If it’s not a slider scope I like to see most of the ring but no light around it at draw. If you’ve got Light around the housing that you can see through the peep the good news is your groups are about to get a ton tighter
More like this one!!
If I didn’t live so damn far away I would!!
"Arrow flight is junk" lol. Arrow looked like a dart.
Tail low out the gate. It caught up but I don’t want anyone thinking I’m good with it!
@@brandonmcdonald6121 Ah, now that I watched it again I see what you meant!
I draw the same way
Like a badass!! Haha
What does a d-loop have to do with draw length? Anchor point yes, but draw length? Someone help me understand
Imagine if the loop was 2” long vs 1/2”
I’m giving up draw length (speed) with a long loop
It's hanes.
Brandon when do we get the Mere Mortal hats?!?!?!?!
Soon! I hope this week
