6 Common Mistakes I often witness when learning a back tension shot with the Silverback or any other resistance or tension activated release. Silverback Overview Video : • Silverback Resistance ...
After hours and hours at the University of youtube finally someone that lets beginners know exactly the basics instead of all the rest thinking they can hit the X well done mate awesome. Stuie Darwin Australia.
Thanks. Just a slightly different perspective there I thought maybe a few folks might relate to or understand better from a guy that pretty much has to self learn in the middle of the ocean.
This is perfect encouragement! I just received the Nock On Back Strap Tension Wrist Release and spent a few hours shooting and realize that this is going to take some time, effort, and energy to learn tension activated versus index releases. Got it to end my target panic and this is certainly a different way to shoot! Keep up the great videos!
Just bought a used Stan Element because I want to learn how to shoot with proper back-tension and not like I do today pulling that trigger. I am in an Archery Club here in Germany, but it is small and only has trainers for Olympic-Recurve... so us compound guys have to self-teach and videos like yours do help a ton. Thanks for the video!
Awesome tips for both the beginners and those with a bad habits and ways you’ve hit points that’s important and very useful . Maybe hawaii hunters should come together to preserve this tradition for future generations to come and hopefully the state and DLNR will understand it’s a lifestyle it’s food it’s skills and practices so yes keep sharing keep posting it’s very informative content Big MAHĀLO 🤙🏾
Great video. I am like you i live in Alaska on an island with no shops or no one to train me or help with my archery journey. I taught everything myself with the help of RU-vid and forums from shot form to setting up tuning and maintaining my equipment. Very long process and still have lots to learn i feel. I went from starting with a wrist release for a 4 years. Then went to a stan thumb release and now have been using the nock2it for a few years. I am thinking of purchasing the silverback and start my journey with this release. I have never tried a back tension or hinge release before but very confident in my form with a thumb release. This video was very informative. I will definitely be going back to watch this as i learn to use the silver back. Is there any specific tips you would give someone thats going to a nock2it to the silver back? Look forward to more videos and hope you can figure out the game management on your island.
Thanks. I guess all I’d say is statistically there’s really only a small percentage of people that can “trigger” or rather “punch” a trigger at a high level. Most hit a limit doing that usually. Of course you could be that small percentage. Anyway, if you feel you’re at a limit, maybe learning a tension release is the thing to break through it. Depending on the person of course, there are varying lengths of time it’ll take to master it but I can’t see any negatives other than having to commit the time. I do believe that if someone can master a resistance or tension release, they have the tools to master any other release side. Stick with it and good luck! I’ve seen so many yo-yo back and forth or quit too early.
As a warning for those of you wanting to buy one this thing has caused me a slot of pain My arm was never purple because of my bow string before I pick one of these up
What do you suggest when you pull & pull and it never goes off and it's set within that 3-5lbs you mention. In addition when it won't go off, your release hand/arm starts to shake. Thanks
Maybe this may help explain. What you mention may be fairly common among the folks I've been around learning it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KhRnIkXw04M.html
Hey man I had a question, I have been using a wrist strap because I was worried that I couldn’t make the right form for a tension. My left elbow (bow arm) is bad and I have a limited range of motion. I can not straighten my bow arm out all the way so I didn’t know if the tension release would actually work for me? I really want to order it but am worried I’m going to spend money on it and not be able to use it because of that
I would have to guess it would matter how "bad?" Maybe one thing to try is draw the bow back and anchor with your normal release. Without placing your finger on the trigger, line up the sights on target and see if you can just build pressure against the backwall with the pin on the dot. Depending on your bow, most hunting models have a little bit of give on the wall if you build pressure on it, you may be able to feel that as pressure builds. If you feel you can build 5 lbs more on the back wall from anchor perhaps, I'd say the you can operate a tension release no problem. If this is possible for you to do and having a bent front elbow, I would guess your largest challenge will be to keep that front shoulder down and prevent it from raising up as you build pressure. The second challenge may be to notice if front arm tricep is flexed when at full draw. Keeping front shoulder down can help in preventing the front tricep from flexing to hold the bow at draw. It's just been my experience, the less muscles influenced on the front half can greatly reduce the pin float while building pressure. It just takes a lot of reps to get totally cool with letting some of those muscles relax or find the form that allows one to do it.
@@ryankohatsu8836 awesome thank you for the advice!! I’m 6ft tall and my draw length is 28.5 inch because of my front elbow. I feel like with what you have said, I should be able to use it. But it may be more difficult for me to get it down. I’m willing to give it a shot. I want to be proficient and preform proper shots. I have noticed that I command my shots now with the wrist strap. Even when I try not to I still do. I want to get away from that so bad.
Maybe not? Between the two releases there are differences and those differences can likely change impact point even if you are doing the same thing. If you're grouping great with both releases, but just hitting in different spots, I wouldn't say you're doing something wrong but rather the change in release aide may be causing the change. One case in point (this may not be your case but I'm just using it as an example here) is early on I used to have my silverback hit just to the left of my nock2it (left handed archer). I never pinpointed exactly what causes this however, I did notice my silverback firing tension was noticeably higher than my nock2it. As I lessened the tension to fire on the silverback, I noticed the impact point began to close in until I lightened it enough that they both hit identical. I think the moral of that case is the difference in firing tension between the releases can cause differences in impact point. It just changes how the bow fires or maybe how my body interacts against the bow. Whatever the case, it is just slightly different. I can do the same exercise with just my nock2it alone to confirm. I just pull much harder on my nock2it and I'll see the impact move left some. Another may be the differing tension or timing may be slightly different and sight alignment may change as the shot takes longer to fire. I tend to drift out of the peep if I take too long to execute the shot and some folks can pretty consistently drift out to a point where their impacts are off the mark but really consistent still. So to conclude, I'd say just focus on consistency and groups. If you can group em well that's all one can hope for and the rest is just move the sight over and now group em in the middle :)
