If you guys did a slow long video on the border of being boring and went thru form, and proper pulling (using your elbow vs forearm) how to actually pull back through the shot correctly. I will cry happy tears. I don’t have anyone near me to coach me through a shot and I would love it ! Thanks for all you do
20 seconds that explain the correct way to shot a hinge. Push and pull. The rotation makes it go off. Hand relaxed. MFJJ is definitely my favorite RU-vid content creator all things bows. Thank you so much. Greetings from Germany Tom
I would love if you guys would do a video or series on the top mistakes beginners make while learning how to shoot a bow. Or even just a video on the basic mechanics of shooting as a beginner.
Hunt and shoot with a hinge keeps your aim honest. I've shot a 2 finger for decades for everything up to American Buffalo. You just gotta commit your focus on aiming and trust the process..
Love it, love the content,,,! You guys are crushing it,,, keep up the good work, great community going,,, but question; what is a good technique to break rushing/drive by’s/ out not hoping on target long enough: forms of target panic,, I’ve tried everything, best way I found is to always be prepared to let down, and complete that with my shoot sequence, and kind of trick my mind, then after the shot is good and set, then I release…
I'd love to see a video on MFJ talking about foot position cuz I hear so many different people say different things. You got Dudley saying to be standing at almost a 45° angle, then I've seen rogue saying to stand perfectly perpendicular to the Target...
I believe it’s personally preference, it comes down to your bow arm shoulder. I know mine is always up if I’m standing at 90 degrees to target but if i stand at 45 degrees my bow arm shoulder is down. I thinks it’s just preference and your bow arm shoulder.
I think opening our front foot is the critical piece. I shoot with my front toe at the instep of my back foot, and opened up almost 45deg. I think it gives you the best clearance and drops your shoulder...but not so much that you end up pulling laterally at the shot release....just my .02 but I think I'm probably in the majority here.
@@poppasmurf15 that's how I've always shot as well. I'm starting to see more and more people talk about almost being perfectly 90° to the Target. I was just wondering where that's coming from? To each their own for sure
Can you guys make a video showing the difference in stability of all the different releases. Im in the process of changing my bow out and would like to try different releases as well.
Tim, does that Scott allow you to anchor in the same spot as the UV hinge? Are the throats the same length is what I’m asking… my carter wise choice has to have a longer d-loop then my hinge, so I can’t “practice” with my hinge while my bow is set up for hunting because it changes my anchor
Sumnabeatch, I wanna try, but I’m afraid I’ll make myself worse. I shoot a tru ball fang 4 now. I have tried 2 fingers and love the action. What would bring me to try something else new?
Excellent video, would like to know what MFJ thinks about the back tension releases with safeties on them?? Can they be as good to learn the back tension process???
My silverback or any release like it really got me ready to shoot a hinge and thumb button style release the correct and proper form with pulling through during shot execution! And pulling through the correct way and with correct muscles, but took a fee months to really feel it correctly with watching lots of vids
If you relax your whole hand the release will be really hard to get to go off. Have to keep the ring finger engaged while you pull. If you are having trouble getting the hinge to work just concentrate on pulling with the ring finger. It will fire every single time no issue. If you get into high pressure situations and you find the release not working fast enough just think about only your ring finger and it will fire. That finger is key to make them work. If you only have a 2 finger release then its your middle finger. I use both and the 2 finger requires me to pull through slightly harder. On calm days or indoors the 2 finger is a little more accurate for me. The extra back tension steadies my aim better. Another thing is to make sure your draw length and loop length are perfect. When you get this right the tension between your hands will make the pin just sit there. If your lengths are wrong the tension will move your pin. When all is right it feels like magic and everything is so easy. I string train with my release at least 100 times a day. It makes a difference.
Even if you shoot a thumb with back tension to activate it, would you still recommend trying a hinge or back tension release? I only 3d and target shoot
Exactly my thoughts on this too! Too bad theres no one local near me remotely close that will actually show me in person, ive watched countless youtube vids though and practiced a lot to get form and shot execution to be what i think is pretty good
I picked up a scott sigma based on Josh's opinions of that release and really.. really.. like it. Whats a tension/hinge release similar to the sigma that feels similar and hits similar? Thanks!
would you recommend "sweep through" shooters to pick up a hinge? Shot my whole life swinging the pin through the target because i've never been able to hold, fairly good at this not sure if that's a transition worth investing time in.
It’s definitely worth it, swinging will never be as good as holding and rotating through the shot. Learn to hold even if it takes longer than you might like because it will but it’s 100% worth it. Ask how many top level archers swing through or pull up to the pin from bottom up or vise versa… they don’t. Just draw your bow back with a arrow in it and hold it till you can’t hold it any longer, then let it down and continue to do it without aiming at a target then start to put a target out without firing yet and finally when you can hold somewhat steady, start to fire. Hope this helps
@@ElkShape y’all did but I wanted to be clear because it works for me, and I have tried pulling into the back wall and pushing the bow forward and didn’t work for me the shots would take forever to go off, it felt good though when they did. Any ideas for how I could get the shot off at a more appropriate time.
@@thedudenico3064 adjust it SLIGHTLY faster. I had the same problem on a Scott advantage, super pain to get the exact right spot ( no micro adjust...). Once I found it, works exactly like MFJJ describes.
@@thedudenico3064 no don’t listen them, I’ve shot and learned from some of the best archers in the world and they all say the same thing when it comes to hinges… I’ll ask the same question they asked me. “What makes a hinge go off?” The answer is rotation regardless of what you think you’re doing, it will always take rotation to make a hinge go off. Now yes to a certain extent you’ll want to pull but only to keep steady and not to get lazy but don’t go overboard pulling and pushing because that’s not how it was meant to be, and it will make you worse at trying to become a top level archer or just better in general… which neither of these guys are top level not to be rude and not saying I’m any better but I don’t go out on social media preaching the wrong technique either. If you’re consistent and it still makes you surprised when it goes off then you’re doing fine, just don’t start cheating it and making the rotation quick to speed things up.
Learn to master it while it's set really, really "cold" or "slow". Once you have it figured out, then you can slightly adjust it so that it is faster and faster until you reach a setting that works really well for you.
