Stop FLICKING the Arrow! Thumb Draw Edition | Asiatic Archery 

That's a nice looking bow.

Mack tactical archery is fast with thumb slavic and Mediterranean draw with 40 plus bow that guy is next to lars andersen in speed

👍 edition 😲 lolololololololol

Nice bow!

For me (holding bow with left hand) works tilting bow little bit counter clockwise.

I noticed this but did not properly diagnose the issue. I changed to a much smaller thumb ring and that seems to have helped a lot.

You have no idea how much I needed this video, it's been bothering me for like 2 years!

Saw this video a long time ago, thought I was immune to the arrow flick... had to come back to this video...

Yo. Love the hair.

Since I shoot Korean style I don't think I have this issue.. I use a lot of string twist so it stabilizes on the bow

Cool sweater man

Is it normal for new archers to be much more accurate and precise with thumb draw vs Mediterranean?

Solid advice. I never had the flicking issue, but I did, from time to time squeeze the arrow between the index and middle finger a bit too hard 😂. Which happened when I was focusing too hard on the draw, and paid no attention to my bow hand.

I believe thumb ring is an influence too.

Don't be too hasty in saying you don't get a horizontal "flick" with a thumb ring. If you put too little pressure with the index finger on the arrow, the arrow can "flick off" your thumb rest. Don't forget that you're canting the bow slightly and the arrow is already tending/wanting to slide off your thumb.

Always interesting with you, Sensei !

I perform the Slavic Draw no matter what side of the Bow I shoot…it’s simply natural to me.

Helpful observations. Many thanks 🙂

Very informative, thanks! Is the bow in the video the Kheshig from Alibow?

Yeah I’ve been having this same problem with my regular thumb draw and I’ve noticed the arrow bending from time to time too. I’ll have a go with all of these in mind. The other thing I’ve been doing recently is I’m working on the Indian pinch grip, but with a thumb ring. It’s a bit like Ishi’s style, but instead of a bent index finger, it’s pointing straight down the arrow like slavic draw. And locking with the middle finger. The index finger would stop the arrow flicking up and shooting like 20ft in the air or something.

Very helpful. Thanks!! 👍

Great info! Thanks!

I have a question. I just got my set up PSE Nighthawk recurve 62in bow 30lb draw 58in string I believe. I don’t know what Arrows to get, I just know I want carbon bc I’ll be practicing. However how long should my arrows be! Spine 300, 350 or 400 I have no clue. Must my fletching be feathers only?

Thoughts on topoint endevour

Excellent advice for someone yet to buy his first asiatic bow. Quick question- are you running a competition?

Thank you! I was having problem with my shots with flicking and I know how to fix it. 👍

Loved Uncle Gao!!!😂

Thank you

Good stuff Nu! Never had the flicking problem myself but now I know what to look for if I do at some point.

Awesome hints, thanks! I new already about pressing the index finger on the shaft, but didn‘t realize the wrist twist..I need to watch that, thanks for the hint!👍

Always informative in a down-to-earth way, although I don't shoot traditional bow, it's just good to have such knowledge to share in my club, many beginners at my club picked trad bow as their starting point instead of barebow
