I like this series. Keeping people's shoulders healthy is important for the longevity of the sport.

[bryanmoorefield]

I live for these kinds of videos, I’ve watched some of this guys videos and they are very detailed oriented and informative. I’m 67 and watch a lot of professional archers not on where they hit the target but there grip, draw, anchor. I’ve been shooting a bow since I was 6 and I’m still learning to shoot better. Keep videos coming 🏹🏹🦌

This is great info Dan, I'm 62 years old and have shoot a bow for about 50 years. At only 5'-6" I was taught many years ago when shooting a 65-70 pond bow to use the push and draw method. I am also left-handed, which my bow guy just calls me ol lefty. When drawing at level I gently push my raiser forward with the palm of my right hand while drawing with my release with my left. I had a torn rotator cuff and 3 torn labrums' repaired in 2018. While doing my PT after the repair my physical therapist set up my PT just as I draw my bow. I refuse to go to a cross bow until at least 75 or 80. Thanks for the tips.

I gotta thank you guys for these videos. At 51 I’m fairly new to archery, let’s just say I have fallen in love with it again and I’m taking it 💯 seriously this time. I have an old pitching injury, never had it looked at but it’s definitely rotator cuff in the front of my shoulder. I’m at a low poundage, 55 hoping to work up to 60. After watching these videos I’m definitely going to order some bands and work on my rotator strength. So far not a lot of pain when drawing back but I can definitely tell when I do it right because there’s zero strain and I feel much stronger and it feels like I’m using mostly back muscles. Please keep putting these technique videos out!

I needed this video. im a bicep draw guy, ive tried to get better, but habits stick with you. Thanks Dan!

As a 45 year old this month, I appreciate this series man. Been bow hunting for 32 years, and want to make sure I do my part so I can bow hunt for 32 more. Ordered a resistance band yesterday.

[jasonard]

the one time I wanna say hey Dan hush let the man speak lol thx for the info guys

[philfaulk]

GREAT STUFF! Rotator tears suck! Nursing one back now and this information hits hard as you know. Keep it coming!

[royhoglund]

Great series Dan! Shoulder health is really important to me as I age, especially after watching so many of my friends give up bow hunting or go to a crossbow. Can't wait for the assessment video.

[christophersmith]

I was taught these techniques years ago and I believe it has kept me shooting and hunting. Take care of yourself and keep shooting. Shoulder issues are zero fun!)

[OutdoorAdventures]

Great info for target shooting! I promise you won’t get away with that much movement in a hunting situation in December or January in Mississippi. You basically have to draw the bow without moving it at all.

[EatingElk]

I needed this! developed some biceps tendinitis over the summer and couldn’t figure out why. After watching this, I’m convinced it was my crappy draw cycle. Ordering some bands now.

[DustyAlexander]

As a 42 year old with jacked up shoulders (tears and osteolysis)this video speaks to me. I have a low arm (bicep) draw. Will have to do some draw tinkering. I can attest, if I allow my shoulders to get weak, they hurt. CrossFit and crossover symmetry keep them pain free and functional. 👊🏼

[TheWVgoodguy]

Excellent and necessary video. From watching this I believe that I do the single or static arm draw quite a lot. Mostly because I want to have my pin already on target so all I have to do is draw and then go through the rest of my shot sequence with the least amount of movement as possible. I don’t do it every time but I know that I do that.
Thanks for sharing. I will have to record myself and maybe send it to you sometime. 💪🏻😎🏹

[benmcrae]

Look up outlet spacers or shims. They are killing me 😂 great informative video!

[juanrodriguez-muko]

Thanks because I started picking up a bow because of you Josh and Tim and I kinda hurt my right shoulder, I kinda taught myself watching videos. So I most likely did it wrong and hurt myself, I’m sixty but I’m still trying. Thanks again.

[seantimmerman]

Great video it did a deep dive last year on drawing my bow properly, freaking took forever! I still could be doing it all wrong

[Mainlandoutdoors]

Thank god your making this video!! way to many people pull their bow back wrong

[SheepdogConservation]

Awesome stuff! Can’t wait to see the next part because I know I do some form of bicep drawing because my rotator cuff is weakened from lots of carpentry!
Crossover bands have made a huge difference in my shooting/strengthening!

[nunyabidness]

Good stuff. I’ve never had any shoulder issues in my several years of shooting. However, my left elbow is in constant pain (lateral epicondylitis as a right handed shooter). I think I may be rotating into setup as you mentioned. Will work on that to see if it helps. Thanks for the great video.
