I'm just starting and this helped a lot. I just bought a trigger at Walmart and the trigger is ridiculously light is that correct?

[ikesoutdoors]

With most releases the trigger will be light. If you get into the nicer more expensive releases you will have some sensitivity adjustment. I am shooting a Carter Quickie 1 now and I have it set at a 4lb yes that is not a typo 4 lb trigger pull

what kind of bow is that

[ikesoutdoors]

Custom Athens Accomplice. They did all the custom work for me.

Have you tried a Negitive release aid. I use one that you have to push the trigger in to activate the trigger and then you just relax your thumb to release the shot.

Hey Ike great video, really enjoyed it.

It may be of interest to you to look up something similar that occurs to golfers, is call the Yipes, anticipating the shot and blowing it basically. Also in the same note, it may interest you to read about exercises to re-pattern the brain by creating new improved motor patters that do not include the old glitch (anticipating the shot). Thanks for your great info,

I may have some other ideas that will be of interest to you

hey ike, im 15 and im sure you know alot more then me but im real serious about archery and i think i can help your problem. ive dealt w/ the same problem for a few years, and am still over coming it. i shoot my trigger release like a back tension. you do this by wrapping your finger on the trigger and simply pulling through the shot like you would with a back tension. when your squeezing w/ ur finger your way more likely to punch it. hope this helps. and good luck hunting!

Nice vid bro! I've dealt with trigger punch as well. Thanks for the ideas.

Cool. Thanks for this. You showed me a problem that I didn't even know I had. Its also cool that you critiqued yourself. It shows a lot of character.
