Building Accuracy (w/ Thumb Draw) | Asiatic Archery 

This kind of teaching content on thumb draw is so rare on the Web, thanks for what you're doing!

Sound advice. Nice to see you uploading consistently again, man!

Transitioned to Asiatic Archery last week, this video is gonna be so helpful!

“Cheek. Check. Punch.” Yup, let's do it: I will use action words. Great stuff! 🙇🏻😎🏹

Is not really rare, but now, since you’ve watched this one, the algorithm of youtube is going to show you much more content like this.

This was a much needed lesson to focus on specific self-talk now that I'm spending time with a thumb draw again. It's easy to forget that sort of thing when I step away from archery for a while. Today, before I watched this, I did sorta talk to myself about actually getting the draw right since I'm still new to Asiatic. I was holding my index finger too far over my thumb and got scraped from the nock point and arrow nock on the side of my knuckle. I got it right when I actually talked to myself, but did occasionally forget afterward. Gotta always tell myself to close up the other fingers and leave a space between my thumb and pointer.

Recently joined an archery club n they are a bit sniffy about Asiatic archery . They recon you cant aim right side n thumb draw ,now i can prove then wrong .Thank you Sensei 😁

Incantations, sacrifices? Oh man, you're telling me the headless beanie-babies laying all over the field have had no effect on my shooting. You burst my bubble from the opposite end of the Earth -- That's good aim, especially for thumb release!

This is great content. Your pre pandemic content was very good and helpful. Now. This is excellent for all archers, no matter their focus or tackle, as long as they keep their jacket sleeves out of the way. The shot by shot maritime and commentary helps. Keep it up.

The best instruction on this that I’ve seen! Epic! Thanks for the insight into your self talk!

Bro is on the youtube grind💪💪Keep up the great work!

What a fantastic video! Thankyou for your efforts!

Fascinating. Thank you.

I like the way you study your archery, sensei is a good name for you. However, some laughs are ok too i guess. At 10:54 it is funny when you say: "i want to feel the shaft here"😂🎉😅😮😊

Great video- thanks a lot!

Amaizing motivation for shooting, i finished my 3 hour training and now i am relaxing but after watching this i wanna shoot some more and i want to be better then yesterday 😅😊

Great content and shooting!

Enjoying your content👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺

That was fun👍🏼🇦🇺

correct spine and perfectly matching arrows is my top tip lol

thanks mate.

Oh and yes i ware glasses to. Im considering getting contact lences just for archery, with glasses especially when its hot, the slip, sometimes get foggy, they can be abit annoying lol, but without them i cant see the target to well, so its a give and take thing.

When i mentioned in your video before this, because i watched that first i wrote that i shoot fast. But im not trying to be flashy, im not just guessing where the arrow will go. I just find for me personally, i have a window of time, and im very much aware of what im looking at and aware of the aim, i just happen to find that for me the longer i stay in anchor i often miss where i intend the arrow to hit. So yes its still a very strict process i use, im just very quick to aligne my shot, my pre anchor is slow though, i will look at the target and not take my eye off the place i intend on hitting, so its 1. Slow to anchor 2. At anchor 3. Around 3 seconds after in anchor and my tip is where i want it i let go. For me thats just how i work best, again its not to be flashy or especially now its certainly not instinctive, im very much aiming, just a quick time box for me when at anchor. I really enjoy the way you explain things, its just very good, and really does help with understanding the process, especially mine because yes it is fast, but its not willing or somehow feeling the shot, its very purposely done to get my arrow where i want it to go by the tip of the arrow, i am not just going into achor then thinking a "spirit" will guide my shot, no, my aim is guiding my shot. I mean 3 to 4 seconds is for me a long time lol.

From 12:12 the camera is at a very good angle and you can easily see that all arrows are fishtailing ( bad flight), so here is noob question ; if we are trying to build accuracy isnt this a good time to try doing/learning khatra at the same time?

After shooting thumb draw for several years, I get the feeling that thumb draw archers who stress instinctive shooting over a methodical process, even for stationary shooting, are low key hoarding their knowledge behind a thin veil of mysticism to prop up their ego.

Ty for this video, i m not confortable with an anchor point on my face. Do you think it s possible to have the same accuracy without anchor point on face. I use the same bow, the raptor, but i don have the same groups has you😅

Got any 3D courses near you? Would be nice to see with Thumbdraw.

Good to see that this isn't just instinctive.too many channels suggest that. Do you have anything on troubleshooting grips? If I don't wear a bandaid,I consistently get a blood blister on the base of my index finger on my shooting hand. I've tried opening my grip a little. My only other thought is that my bow came with a brass nock.

What are the length and weight of your arrows?

How big is the gold target actually (beginner here)?

Is it right that if you shoot with metal thumb ring in an AA competition you would actually be classed as bare compound because the thumb being metal is considered a release aid. Is a leather thumb ring ok for AA?

do you teach instructor classes on line?

Where did you get that quiver? I like the look and practicality of it

Well, the “cheek” aiming is not a must in instinctive shooting, for instance, Kassai Lajos sistem, shoots at chest height as well as Lars Andersen.

I am no expert. It seems that the arrows are front heavy?
