Im new im jappy if i dont lose my arrow lol. Fist day havnt missed yet and i shot all day. Kep clumping in the middle not sure if thats normal but i was happy with it so i kept moving further away till i ran out of room. Black hunter by manderin duck. Got the brace height and nock point right first shot which was great i really didnt want to have to keep adjusting the nock cuz i really dont have the tools for cromping the brass nock or the expertise but it flew perfect so i think i got it right. Anything i should look for that needs adjusting? Your older so you probably have experience with setting up a new bow so any advice thanks.
Hi Greg, I don't really understand. Does the clicker go off automatically or is it a conscious thing? What's the trigger? The video doesn't show how you're holding it with the bow in the same hand, so I'm not clear how I'd position it with the way I hold my bow as all my fingers go around the grip. So many questions, sorry!
The clicker goes off when enough pressure is applied by you. It helps to show you if you are "rushing" to get through your shot. It teaches slow, steady pressure. Which forces you to hold and "control" your shot better. The Trigger is either the sound (most common method) of the feeling of the cap "snapping" inward. Once this happens, you simply "let go" of the string. How you hold it is up to you. I have seen people have it in the string hand, on the bow, etc. I would suggest playing with it to find a method you like.
Hi Greg - Awesome video again but couldn't help noticing you have changed your anchor point to well up your face and you are looking directly down the arrow, Why and when did you change this? does it help?
I have found that corner of the mouth is not where my hand would be when I'm at skeletal alignment. So I moved it back two inches and now, it is just natural for me there. I find it amazing just how consistently my hand goes to that same spot now. As for height, It has always stuck in my head why Joel Turner loves the thumb ring. He says he loves the look down the arrow. So, one day I tried it and it was like everything cleared up for me sight wise and mentally. With the arrow that high, I don't really look down the arrow as much as it is now a part of my normal field of vision. What got me, was that within two arrows I was hitting right where I wanted. My GAPs now are so small that it is pretty much point on from 18 to 30 yards. Which is the normal distance for most 3D Shots. The downside is that it really, and I mean really drops after that. So my GAP out past 30 is huge.
Check out the app 'Random Reaction Timer' by Muscode. I have been setting the timer for 6 seconds. In the settings I set the MaxInterval for 4000, the MinInterval for 2000, and the PrepareTime for 10000.
CAREFULL..... Clicker training is useful only AFTER proper form is developed. As we grow in archery skill, the most important aspect is consistent form in regards to body alignment at the time of release. Using an audio cue ( clicker ) is meant to train the brain to activate muscle memory developed for release of the arrow upon hearing it. The brain hears "click" and SCREAMS RELEASE to the muscles. The problem happens when you hear the sound but you aren't on target in the sight window. All of a sudden 99% of you wants to release but the 1% knows you will miss. In competitive shooting this is known as "Target Panic" it sucks and can take months to unlearn. That's why a clicker is one of the last pieces that an Olympic shooter adds to their bow when training. Hope this helped!
Doug Leiting For Olympic Archers, yes. For “Trad” archers no. For trad archers, most use it as a psycho trigger. For more on this look up Joel Turner and ShotIQ. The big difference is that “Trad” archers who shoot Instinctive do not consciously aim. So it does not get in the way. In this drill it is used to show the archer, what the release, when done unconsciously, should feel like.
Some people can't. Seen many an archer who cannot let go of the arrow or let go too soon. Target Panic is what many call it and this can help those who are struggling with it.
I don't quite get it. Why didn't you show what your bow hand was doing? If your bow hand is setting of the clicker, doesn't that mean there's too much tension in your bow hand? Both hands should be absolutely relaxed.
You have tension in both hands, if your bow hand was absolutely relaxed, you could not hold the string and with the bow hand, if it is absolutely relaxed, the bow will fly our of your hand. All you are doing is applying gentle pressure with one finger. That will not create any tension in your have that will affect your shot.
hi greg, I'm having a problem with plucking the string, so I want to give this method a chance. I understood that you hold the cap with the bow hand, using the fingers that are off the bow, but do you click it consciously? or just the power of resisting the bow with your bow hand press it? now after you first clicked it, you keep applying back tension but let of your fingers a bit so its a fluid release? when does the second click of the cap comes into action? thank you in advance for the answer, keep on doing great videos ;)
You can hold the cap in either hand. I would suggest playing with different locations to see which works best for you. I would suggest not putting any pressure on the button until you are "set" at full draw. The pressure is slow and steady, you should not know when it will click. While pressing, maintain the push / pull and back tension. Once you hear or feel the click, simply let the string go (while maintaining that tension in the back). The second click is not part of it, and you most likely will not even notice it. Hope this helps.
I don,t really get what U R doing. I use my caps to hang on different parts of my target to shoot at so i don,t shoot out my kill zone. I,m not saying U R wrong. I just don,t get it. I hate complicating simple things.
By using the cap, it helps to show you how "Natural" your release should be. Many people, me included, do a conscious release. When a unconscious release is better.
a clicker that is attached with a string to the limb does the same thing i think. i belive you pull it to the full draw and when you apply back tention the clicker goes off and you release???
