Echoing the comment below. These are great videos despite the sound issues. I have been striving to hit the back of my neck with my fingers on the follow through. Why? Because thats what I see other archers do.... Because coaches are coaching it.... As you point out biomechanically it just doesnt do anything for your shot. The shot has gone. It might give the mind something to focus on and hopefully drive a subconcious shot but as your videos show the wild flinging of fingers follwed by a touch on the shoulder fools the archer into thinking it was a good release. I ll try the natural release and film myself doing it to see where i am in that part of the shot. Thanks for the info. Best Wishes. G.
You had answered the question in the video. It is the most natural release for me. Maybe I just do a good job at coordinating my release with the back tension.
I noticed in the video that the archer was doing a release and follow-through technique when he was shooting. How does he maintain stability when he releases his arrow? Wouldn't this affect the direction of the arrow? I noticed that when the archer drops the bow, their arm is straight and the most movement is located in the wrist and hand. Last but not least, gig em!!
Angela Por I don’t know if this will answer your question. If I understand it correctly: there are slow motion video on YT showing the arrow leaving the bow long before the finger move an inch away from anchor point. Those follow-through motions (directional pulling of muscle at pre release, creating micro motion during release, creating the bad (inefficiency) follow-through) does affect the shot.
The follow through is a result of what you are doing during the shot. Thats why you should never focus on the follow through, and instead think about your release. The follow through will come naturally if you do ur release right
During the follow through of the classic release, is it best to minimize usage of the biceps? I find that whenever im doing the release, my biceps (right draw arm) tend to stiffen up but im not consciously using my biceps. Is this normal, how do i improve?
all of your archery form videos are superb, but it sounds like you recorded your voice in a bathroom which makes it hard to really get into the video lol other than that though these videos are perfect. i have a hunch that if you re-recorded the videos with better sound they may get a lot more views, but who knows. thnx for the helpful videos
You explain the methods like an engineer showing how different actions have different consequences. Very understandable. Thank you.
Thank you very much for this examination. I found I unknowingly perform a dead release rather often on days when my shots are not satisfactory.

I dont get the follow thru thing, although release is super important. The arrow is long gone by the time you even start a follow through.

What is wrong with a dead release?
