Got my first recurve bow 11 days ago. Im able to hit a circle on a hay stack from 50 feet almost every single time. Many thanks to you sir and this channel
I've just started archery and the release is something I've really struggled with. You've actually explained the release in exactly the way I needed, thank you! Looking forwards to putting it into practice.
Really helpful video, thanks. Thinking too much is my problem with the release. Letting things happen instead of overthinking is more difficult than it seems and thats also a good life lesson. :)
I’ve only been shooting for six months - and ‘letting go by not letting go’ is doing my head in. I’ve been practising with a rubber band - I’ll get there. Still, it’s amazing how high my wife’s iPhone bounces when it misses the pillow.
I'm not an olympic shooter, but I really like that phone explanation. Things like that really do a lot for people. One small thing can make all the difference. For me, shooting "horsebows" it was keeping the bow arm straight that really made a breakthrough. Have a happy new year

This is the best explanation of a clean release. I’ve been focusing so hard on my release because I can see how it’s effecting my shots and this made it so clear!
This is so new to me, I have never seen such a solution for a clean release! I think I'm living on another planet! Unbelievable and many thanks! All the best and best wishes from Austria! Martin
I have been doing archery for 3 years now, and been consistent for a year now in archery trainings. Anchor and release have always been a problem for me (perfect example like here 4:02 ; 7:40). Recently I changed most of my technique - starting with posture, set-up, etc, and one of the problems was muscles being all tense and not relaxed starting with a grip and wrist rotated wrong and not straight, which later was a simple chain reaction to everything else. Now I try to make my shot more relaxed, by using back muscles, without trying to involve my draw arm, so it's relaxed through the shot. Thanks to this video I saw all my mistakes I did before. Keep it up NUSensei, see you next time! 💪🏼
The most crucial step in archery; the release. Even after years of practice, we sometimes do it all wrong. At least, personally it still happens to me. I admit that the phone thing (or a similar wooden object for example) is a good idea. Happy new year to all !
No. This only works with a phone. An expensive one is mandatory. No cover, no protective film, and on a hard gravel ground. A happy new year to you too!!!!
After years people get the name archer. After more years, the people with the name archer are born and have nothing to do with archery. They actually like cycling instead.
I had a total wrist fusion done on my right wrist and also have a metal plate about 15.3 cm long screwed to the bone so my wrist is permanently straight when I release my arrows 😉😁🏹🏹
I'm new to archery and have relyed on UA-cam tutorials expressing each link involved with the of necessity form. Release is one of them, with a suggested of a second anchor point after "dropping the bucket" with your fingers visiting your ear. I can't argue that may be a good thing to do, but I could never figure out how to get there.Your video actually showed the resonsibility of fingers with the import of a clean release.
I am so glad I came across this video, because a consistent and clean release is one of the things that has been difficult for me to implement. A nit-pick @8:28 I don't think it's contradictory to focus on relaxation of your hand. It's a mental effort to release tension with a part of your body.
I did this drill about a month ago with my coach! While we didn't use a phone, we used my finger tab without the finger strap. That way, it forces you to squeeze the spacer and have a proper release. The tab will still fall if you force the release. Doesn't risk the phone but is just as frustrating when the finger tab falls out of your fingers! XD
Thanks for pointing out about using the first joint in your fingers rather than using the finger pads itself. My coach was trying to get me to shoot from the finger pads which I found rather difficult and felt that the string would slip off at any moment when I come to full draw (I usually shoot from the first finger joint anyway) Needless to say that the back tension is a working progress at the moment
Cheers new sensei, i remember focusing on back tension to aid release when learning compound. Even though the release aid is in use the same concept applies.
Hi Nu, I wanted to thank you for your really helpful videos. You brought me into archery this year and you helped me a lot with your explinations!! I'm really enjoing your videos. Thank you and keep up the excellent work! I wish you all a happy 2020!
Thanks Nu! I've watched your channel a few times and this is by far the most helpful Video for me so far. I've Made an elastic Band and after using it then going back to the range my shots are better every time.! Still need a little more improvement but things have gone so much better now, I will keep practising.
Almost always THE biggest challenge for me is a clean release! Thanks for this video. Questions: should back shoulder muscle expansion curve the hook around and behind one’s face anchor point? Does such expansion vary the draw length? How does one avoid the natural left drift of the bow arm with balanced expansion (push-pull of bow and string)? Thanks for your great work. Mike, Ahuimanu, Hawaii.
I really enjoy your videos. It's watching you that got me involved in archery, and using target recurve bows. I find it relaxing, and though I have much to learn, I enjoy what I'm doing. Thanks for that!
Ok me tip I discovered for getting a good hand, wrist, and elbow alignment is to use a training bungie or the assembled bow and go through the process while looking at a mirror. Some people learn better if they see their form problems with their own eyes. This applies to many skills and sports where having good form is necessary.
Thx very helpful. An old timer coach had mentioned to me that he twist his release hand in a bit like the 3rd finger to get the string aligned in the pocket of the tab or crooks of the knuckle. He shoots three under. This is also to incress the pressure ratio on the 3rd finger maybe for heavier bows.
You can do a clean release if you don't wrap your entire finger around the string. Pull the string just with the tip of your fingers. Pulling the string with the inner part of your knuckles that's just wasting time and effort for nothing. It just gets in the way. If you use the tip of your fingers it's just as secure as using half your fingers. Your releasw will be cleaner and easier too
Great video man newer to trad archery been shooting a compound for a long time have found many of your videos helpful for me on both the compound and recurve side this form of release is a gamechanger for me thank you
I'm having a problem now with clean release, many years after I started doing archery. That reason is: finger savers. I started getting neurological damage where my fingertips remained numb for 24-48 hours after an archery session, even when I was using finger protecting glove (I shoot a 48 lb recurve bow). So I put finger savers on the string in addition to glove, and my releases were OK, but were pretty sloppy as sometimes finger savers would catch onto the glove a bit. So I took the glove off and this is where the issue started. I ended up plucking the string, because it subjectively felt like the string will roll away from me unless I grip it very tight. The only way I was able to avoid this is using only 2 fingers to draw and release, which still puts a considerable amount of pressure on my fingers, a bit more than I'm comfortable with. My dilemma now is to learn to release cleanly with 3 finger draw and with finger savers. I don't think I'll risk my phone though. Will probably try a less expensive object, just in case. Personally, I had immense success with caliper releases, even though they're meant for compound bows and I wonder if I should just stick to that method.
Great tips & video spot on. Only thing I would add is comment on maintaining back tension with good alignment insures that the draw hand/arm must go straight back based on Newtonian mechanics I.e. for every force there is an equal & opposite force(the back tension force in line). Great video
Awesome comment. I'm really practicing my release by letting it go, just like when i'm serving in tennis. Your explanation is superb and up to the point. THANKS for evrything. (M.G., Qc., Canada)
Great videos. I am not even beginner archer (as that require to actually go and shoot) but your videos are so well made and explanatory, that I will probably start soon (obviously doing all the mistakes you mentioned in this and all previous and fallowing videos lol) Thanks for the vids anyway!
what about the crowbar effect ? target lower than the force line and string pinch angel provide directional force .and how do you get around newtons 1st law , if the string travels at transverse angel to the bow the fingers will be pushed in the opposite direction during the angular motion , then the 3rd law ,your hands ,wrist or fingers should move at same speed as the string
Thanks for the video, this is helping me a lot. I'm working on it for a long time, but I think I did it wrong for too long - so it ain't so easy, but I hope until the end of 2020 I can manage to have a "clean" and constant release 🏹
Thanks for that Video. Found that on a Website about releasing and it really helped me. Shooting for less than a year and the release was the one thing i couldnt do properly somehow. Even though i asked different people and watched multiple videos about releasing. So thanks man 👍
Nice idea! I will try this together with some club members who are doing some weierd hand moves after the release. It looks perfect, but just to be sure :) Thanks for the tip!
Hi David, I always enjoy your videos! I have been around bows for about 50 years, but I always find I learn something new watching both you and Jake Kaminski so thank you! pS , don't forget to get into the psychological, aspect and the importance of self confidence! 😊😊😊👍
I'm finally going to say it! This is something that has bothered me on more than one occasion. I am addressing this to the people who click the thumbs-down icon. Given the fine quality of both the presentation and the content of this video, I'd really like to know why you do so. Why can't you make the effort to provide a comment explaining what the reason is for your thumbs down? Is that asking too much?
Hi Nu ! Best video I seen on the release to date . Very clear and useful . I would be interested in a video on forearm alignment at anchor and how high or level the elbow should be. PS your video on toilet paper hoarding was very funny but also revealing on human nature. Situation is exactly the same in Canada except for the snow. Cheers , keep up the videos.
From an instinctive archers perspective this doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is consistency. If your release is always the same and you're focus is always on the target, the only other variables are external. Though we are humans and variations or deviations will always occur, that's the fun of instinctive archery... It comes from within.
Thanks a lot for this video. This and finding a consistent anchor point when doing string walking is the things that in my feeling cause the most of my inconsistencies. Have a great new year
Love your videos! You seem like an awesome teacher. Are you in the states? I need to change teachers. The one I currently go to uses flogging as a disciplinary tool. One time he caught me pulling an inch short on my draw, and he gave me 25 lashes!! My back took weeks to heal. I understand he’s serious about archery, but a less stressful atmosphere would be nice.
I got a lot out out of this and your vid on anchor points, I have a hard time feeling the string with the tab I'm using... could I fold back or move a layer or two out of the way until I feel the string in the first joint of my fingers? Should I skip the tab for a bit and gradually work my way to full draw?
It all makes sense, but how does using a clicker factor in to the equation? Seems like you would need to consciously release/open the hand when the clicker goes off to make the process of using one effective. Would be nice too see a video with that piece included.
In short, training with the clicker means programming yourself to automatically relax when the click goes. It is no longer a conscious decision to release.
I just got myself a Manchu bow for Xmas and am now trying to figure out how those Manchu guys managed to draw their bows back 35 inches and still get a consistent clean release.
I am 41, haven't decided yet if lefty or right... is it a problem? My releases are different, I am used to right... but recently I began to use left...
I dont move my hand at all when I release. Once I get the arrow and string pulled back, its anchored at a certain spot on my face every time. Never moves. This technique helps me a lot. Im gonna have to try that phone technique though. Im not sure if Im forcing my fingers or twisting the string..

If you don't want to break your phone with this drill, just hold your finger tab, squeeze the spacer as normal, but take off the strap.
so what about back hand tension? do we want it now ?
maybe you can answer. Do you apply more pressure with the index finger or second finger?

You can have a flashy follow-through as long as it actually following the proper release. Good concept to practice though.

Does your release also cause the arrow to fish tail or even curve instead of remaining straight to the target

I am 41, haven't decided yet if lefty or right... is it a problem? My releases are different, I am used to right... but recently I began to use left...
Happy new year!!
I dont move my hand at all when I release. Once I get the arrow and string pulled back, its anchored at a certain spot on my face every time. Never moves. This technique helps me a lot.
Im gonna have to try that phone technique though. Im not sure if Im forcing my fingers or twisting the string..
