How to raise your bow... WITHOUT messing up your shoulder position!

In this video, Jarryd gives a run-down of the basic steps to correctly raise your bow... without ruining your bow shoulder position!

I’ve watched a few of your vids now. Very detailed and well explained. As a personal trainer with an interest in archery and body mechanics it’s refreshing to hear someone speak on a topic with clear, concise knowledge who is also passionate about what they do.
I was actually just quickly practicing this position today.
It’s such a great sport/pastime.

Thank you for your advice, , I think I will call you Dr. Archery

[lauraowl]

Yup. Pushing pressure point toward target was helpful. That made a lot of sense. Thank you.

Finally! I'm a beginner archer and have been having issues with my bow shoulder from day one. I had it sorted but then my alignment was off and I worked very hard on my rotational draw, which I now have nailed down but then my bow shoulder began to roll out of position. I've just tried your technique and it works! I really think it's that part where you put tension on the string a few inches at set up that helps lift the bow, really sets it in place. If I don't do that part, I find it harder to lock my shoulder in place and it raises up or rolls forward. Your videos are a real help so thanks again 🤝

This is the exact info I've been searching for since I first saw your case studies. This was always the one bit I could never replicate, but now I know exactly what I need to do! Many thanks to the best coach I've ever seen!

[tritrinh]

Nice to hear this analyzed! The technique you describe occured naturally to me once I started Olympic archery! Although I only followed the motion I felt was the easiest to repeat!

[redoakimaging]

Thanks for the different perspective on extending the pressure point to the target!

[hughcoleman]

Absolutely makes sense. My bow shoulder is my biggest downfall at the moment.

Thanks mate! I'm going to be talking to a couple of my students this weekend and this is right on point! A nice clear explanation!

[SheldonGoh]

Excellent stuff and as always, you made it so clear and easy to understand. Thanks for this!

[dalehill]

Thanks very much for this advice! I'm a beginner at archery and this detailed explanation of how to raise the bow has helped me enormously. 😊🎉

[tunahanatilgan]

Very good explained, helped a lot. Thank you very much!

[patchiang]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It is definitely a great video.

[ricardomoco]

Incredible explanation! I think I understand the bow shoulder, this makes it easier. My question is the scapula. My trainer says we should rotate inwards on the back to avoid shoulder collapse, what is your opinion on the setup and sensitivity of the bow scapula.
Great work, love your channel 🎯💪

The idea of pushing the bow instead of lifting it just blew my mind.

Retroactively it makes so much sense, your hand is going to be at it's furthest point from you when it's going straight forward at the target, so if you just push it away from you the arm should just scoop upwards until level.

Is this right?
