Thank you ! I know nothing about bows or archery and watched 20 videos and still didn't understand wtf they were talking about or how they fired the arrow. You explained it in the first 10 seconds. Great video.
Thanks heaps bro glad it helped
Excellent video bro. I watched 7 videos before yours trying to understand how these releases work and didn't understand a thing until I watched this! Perfectly informative and exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!
Glad it helped bro
haha same bro exactly the same! the amount of times he says "back tension" after 1:50 had me laughing. huge fan of back tension now though
Back tension
@@JimiEllis definitly up for more jargon. You say it 31 times
Wow what a great video. I've searched all over and no one explained how it truly worked until i got to your video. Great presentation and explanation... Thank you...
Glad it helped bro yewwww
Hey Jimi, I have been shooting compound for 2 years now, never went to a club or had any coaching, all learned from youtube (nearest club is 2 hours drive away). Last weekend I did that drive to the nearest club, thinking in two years of solo learning must have picked up some bad habits, it would be good to have a lesson. Actually, I was not as bad as I thought I was, but the best thing I have picked up is that I need a new release. Been looking at thumb and backtension releases for 2 days now. Your explanation of back tension is by fat the best I have found in 6 hours off googling. Thank you so much for that. Keep up the good work. You are a saviour to punters like me who live in the sticks.
+Yuri Marinovich thanks heaps bro if u need and tips or tricks u can come on the ExA discord and we can help u right away
Best explanation I've heard. Been bow hunting for 20 years and just picked up used the other day. This really broke it down. Much thanks
+kevan hawkins no worries im glad it helped
You are the man!! So many bullshit theories about the back tension release aids out there. Your explanations are clear and comprehensive. Keep up the good work dude!!
+cp thanks heaps bro
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm new to archery in the last 6 or 7 months, and have been dead-lucky enough to have been regularly shooting with one of the top compound archers in my country. He has taught me a tremendous amount about the sport and technique, but your explaination in regards to using a "back tension" release is about 100 times easier to understand, and I'm going to tell him! Haha. Keep throwing up content, you're an excellent coach!
My son is starting with back tension release and this was a wonderful video with explanations.
+scott violette thanks mate
That was a good real world explanation. I didn’t know you really release with some part of your fingers. Or a tilting affect
Glad it helped
Like I was trying to say in the Backyard Archery League video about how I get my Stan SX-3 three finger release to go off. I just hold my hand in the same way. By putting pressure with my pinkie on the top shelf it simply rotates the release down into my thumb that doesn't move. I also get the feeling that I'm getting my 2 shoulder blades pinching together. Very repeatable & most of all it feels natural.
I'll look into it
Jimi
This is a great video! You are such a student of archery.
There is one tip that Jesse gave me, that I will pass on to you that will
help you (and your viewers) have more confidence in drawing back and not
whacking yourself with a right uppercut. He said the first thing he does once
he hooks the string is put his thumb on the peg. Now you can draw with confidence
and the pressure between the thumb and forefinfinger will prevent a premature release.
BUT
Just to be safe, in addition I just cock my head slightly to the side as I draw
out of the line of fire (Just in case it goes off... the mechanism can fail or the D-loop could break...you never know)
and once the string is back I settle my head right back behind the string and start the shot. I also shoot the release with
the click (I am using the Stan 2-finger onyx) which is also kind of a safeguard to know if my release is close to going off.
Of the three techniques you mentioned, I personally prefer Jesse's method of relaxation when shooting the hinge.
+Mik Lep thanks heaps mate ill try and be more confident and see how it goes i havnt seen the onyx ill have to check it out
Short and very easy to understand video! Thanks mate!
Haha, that last frame!
I walked away from my creen and came back as the video was finished and got a fright when I came back..... 😂
Thanks for finally explaining this where people could actually understand. Great Video!! Great Examples!!
+Kelly Bruner thanks
Great video on a subject that seems confusing. True back tension seems to be too unstable for me, when I learned to rotate my release things improved. Good ability to instruct, great demeanor.
Thanks mate
Wow thank you🙏
Everyone told me to watch John Dudley to learn to shoot a thumb release, I did. This video is better I found relaxing my index finger will hinge and activate thumb trigger. Thanks man!
Thanks bro some ppl like to queeze there little finger to activate the thumb trigger too
Great succinct clear description of the different ways of using a hinge release
Thanks bro
Thee best video of BT releases and the choices how to shoot I have ever seen.
Thanks heaps bro
Can you offer some guidance regarding what diameter stick on circle to add to a scope CBE sight for shooting 20 yard 5-spot? 5x lens
Thats just personal preference bro
That's fucken awesome Jimi. I was not going to bother looking at those types of releases, I love the wrist strap until I saw that
Thanks bro
Thanks man, I’ve been very curious about these and you explained it well 👍
Thanks for that. I've only always tried one style and was no good at it so went to a trigger release. I'll try the other two styles and see if I can improve on the back tension.
+Ary van Onselen awesome i hope it can help
Great video great explination i love my hinge release only way to shoot properly
Bruh, this is an awesome video. I learned a lot after a shitty day in the office. Seriously, very well done.
Thanks bro glad its helped
Best explanation ever period the end, thank you
Thanks bro
helped me 100% you made it so clear.
Hey Jimi, I have looked at almost a hundred vids on releases and back tension. To me, same as you, squeezing back muscles seemed weird because of the amount of movement needed to pull shoulder blades together. Surely this would make the torso move. So I wasn't exactly sure how the release was achieved. You explained it beautifully in the first 30 seconds. This is the most informative vid on topic I have seen. Brilliant. Cheers mate.
+kym newman thanks heaps mate
The scapula movement is very minimal. It takes practice, but you basically set the release hot enough to go off with just a little bit of chest expansion/back tension. Then you need to trust your shot and not worry so much about the results. The more consistent you get, the better your results will be.
There is no pros that shoot like that unless u r recurve shooter. Its a technique brought from recurve to compound by shit archers who think its the same. what u r talking about is how good recurves go through the click but good recurves hold like twice as much weight as a compound so u need a large muscle group
Sorry, Jimi, but unfortunately, you don't know what you're talking about. Nearly every pro will tell you archery is about big muscles, because they are dumb and not twitchy. The fact that you're telling people to consciously activate their fingers is bad advice. The best thing you can achieve it's a subconscious or incidental motion in your fingers due to the back tension. What you're offering is a recipe for target panic and punching the release.
U have no idea mate i bet u shoot shit scores and say its just about having fun then on the other hand u try and coach ppl cause u think u know it all
Hi Jimi, now I finally understand the hinge release. Great video.
Greetings from Germany.
Btw. I also shoot a Evolve 35
Yewww thanks bro
I do enjoy watching cheers mate!
Thanks heaps mate
Jimi Ellis right now I'm just shooting my hunting bow. Shoot my first ever indoor today with it. Didn't do well . But learned a ton .
Met Dee Wilde. Deffenetly want to get a target bow now .
Awesome
Good vid bro
Thanks bro
Thanks for the video! That clears things up. I’m getting back into archery after 30+ years. Shot a compound back before release aids, and I could figure out how most worked. But back-tension? Where’s the trigger!? Thought they were witchcraft until now.
+Thomas Carlson hahaha its all magic glad u it helped bro
Great presentation. I'm sure it will help. I do shoot better groups with a hinge. Nice to see where my own technique meets with other shooters.
+Bill Johnson awesome im glad it helped hope u have a great day
Great vid. Like has been "smashed"
Yewww thanks bro
All teqniques are great and work perfect I'm still trying to find my sweet spot but my dilemma is as I'm pulling through my shot by relaxing my finger or fingers is I end up dropping my release ?
+Jason Nester u need to put some tape on the ring finger of the release so it gives it some grib so when you relax it dont slip in your fingers jesse broad water tapes hes release too
back tension
Levi Morgan way is the best
great video
+Terry 1954 thanks mate
I mashed the like button!
dude I have a problem and I need help, I use the Stan back tension, but for some reason it releases before I go to my face, (sorry for my English, I'm Mexican) . please help to know what I'm doing wrong :( . I started to use it like three days ago and I didn't have any problem, but I had a training yesterday and it happens what I just told you; it releases before
+randy63o it could be 2 things u the sensitivity screw could of came it got really hot but some stans r not know for that or it could be u r buting pressure on your out side fingers when u draw back try just drawing back with just your index finger and your thumb no other fingers on the release if it still gose off when u draw back like that its the release and not u a back tension should never go off if u draw with just 1 finger and your thumb
Yeees, it could be that problem, I'll try it; I'll try to draw back with just those two fingers. Thank you!!!!
+randy63o let me know how u go
Jimi Ellis Yes I will, cause actually I have punched in my face as you said hahaha
Jimi Ellis OMG! you were right dude! I have just done what you told me and it works! I'll never punch my face again hahaha
When I relax my index finger I have low shots. Any thoughts?
+bowhuntr0 0 not sure dude but jump on discord and ask everyone on there someone in the ExA will known forsure
That's a hinge, a backtension releases automatically with a certain amount of backtension... Like a silverback...
If you're punching yourself in the face, you're drawing with your arm and not your back... Even if you set it off drawing you should never punch yourself in the face... If you do, you're not drawing correctly.
No the silver back is tension activated and the others r hinge activated they r both classed back tension and your draw does not cause u to punch your self your grip on the release does drawing has nothing to do with punching your self thanks for commenting even if every thing u said was wrong
Ive noticed that your jaw is gapping when you shoot i always close my teeth because i noticed my anchor would change... thoughts?
Yeah thats a problem i had when i first started should always have your mouth closed
Good information. Ill stick to my thumb release for hunting. Can't stuff up the shot. Good to see a fellow Aussie on the tube. I get tired of yanks dribbling on with their macho hype. I mean, every bow has to be 70 plus #. REALLY. A fox can't tell the difference. Lol.
+Grey ghost Dylan bahaha thats true thanks mate
Great! But it is hard to understand your accent enough to understand the names of the people and the names of the releases you are using. Put the names in print on the screen. but the presentation was superb.
+Robert Hall the ppl i talk about r in the description thanks mate ill try and print it on the screen too
🤟😛
who's Levi Morgan?
+Gaius Carter haha there is a link in the description of him talking about how he dose it
never heard of her.
+Gaius Carter hahaha
I think she won once..
Hey thanks for putting all the information you have found here on you tube in one place. The side by side comparison was a good idea. I do however feel like you truly don't understand what you have watched here on CZcams and are trying to explain to people. These people obviously don't need to shoot a back tension release ( yes a BACK TENSION) If they think you are guiding them. If I where Levi Morgan I would send you a bill every time you said my name. Shame on you for acting like you could even begin to explain any of the pros shot execution. How about you do a vid on telling everyone just how long you been trying to fake it in archery. I hear it ain't been long at all. Keep watching and stop faking and maybe one day you might actually understand what these pros are talking about. You owe it to archery to stop. Best of shooting to you.
+PAPA MUNTZ im glad u like the vid thanks mate
great video
+Juan & Sayde Flores thanks heaps mate
