Coach Elton goes over the critical concept of back tension, and important mistakes that beginners should be aware of.
Focusing on this core topic, he illustrates the most common mistake he sees in archers who often have trouble with form and alignment, and the concerns with using this mistaken approach to ‘back tension’. He then continues on to explain and demonstrate better activation of the back muscles, before taking the time to teach methods on how an archer can learn the correct muscle activation at home.
