This short video shows the difference between a relaxed & a fully extended bow arm, also different hand positions with the release aid & how they effect the referencing along the jawline.

  • This video has been posted on here to show a guy in the far east the difference between front arm positions i.e. relaxed and tense, and also to show the difference in hand positions with the release aid/referencing. I would never normally eat Pizza while shooting! My finger is always on the trigger because I don't squeeze tthe trigger, I use the release aid as a back tension release aid!

  • so are you advocating relaxed or tense? I am supposing relaxed.

    Also, in your other vids I noticed you seem to be able to keep your bow hand extremely relaxed without dropping the bow on release. I haven't been able to do this without a strap and my current bow can't use one. Have any tips on not dropping the bow with a relaxed grip?

  • Relaxed is always better, in my opinion. You shoukd be able to use a finger sling, (strap) with any bow, if you place the sling on the 2nd finger & thumb. If you don't or are unable to use a sling try to place your four fingers on the front of the riser, position them as though your were playing a Flute & covering the holes on the Flute. You will only need to hold the bow lightly to execute the shot but you will be able to hold the bow on release. Hope this helps.

  • It's a Hoyt ProElite or an UltraElite bow.. 50-60 lbs I suppose...

  • It is a Hoyt ProElite with a draw weight or 40-50lbs.

see all

  • ahahaha neil u look like such a twit hehe

  • No way, ive shot at some of the same tournaments with you.

    Its unbelievable the amount of poor advice you get on youtube, your vid was a pleasant change =]

  • I think you shouldn't pull on the string with your finger on the trigger. You must know what you're doing but... just an advice.

  • Awesome bow - what make, lb, etc?
