Just started shooting a bow last month. Hitting a ton of reps and am super excited to get out and hunt

[QonnorM]

As a traditional archer who knows absolutely nothing about compound bows, I take this as an absolute win.

[blackopsbandogtv]

Great information. I'm going to take it and run with it. I'm learning every day, focusing on as much good info as I can... Countinuesly building.

The part that really jacks people up is between right where he says. Attach my release and pull it back. There is ALOT to learn about the form in pulling back. One bad habit formed there can lead to lifelong rotator cuff injuries

[wayneeden]

Endurance is another big thought for practice, making time for as possible practice time as you can get in, your body and mind will develop a sensitivity referred to as muscle memory

[robertschreckenbach]

Thanks for this information!! Putting to use tomorrow when I practice

I FINALLY picked up my bow today and I shot a bow for the first time. my friend said I have pretty good technique for a beginner. but just like shooting a gun, I'm shaking/moving a good bit waiting for the surprise shot. should I just pull trigger slightly faster with control or loosen up the trigger sensitivity?

[acstories]

What are you using to draw the compound? Do you not hold the strings directly with a compound?(im working on getting one soon and want to learn more about them)

[HallOfAdventures]

Debate on my own channel right now: are you shooting with your index finger tip or first knuckle?

[huntercarter]

Cameron you know not to shoot that bow with sunglasses on lol 😂

[ayanaalfai]

I have one question i take archery classes and my instructed said two fingers on the bottom and one on the top put to your cheek is that correct?

[philliplehaase]

Still trying to figure out why I keep hitting my wrist with the string can you do some pointers on this

[richstafford]

I’m amazed how many really good archers still use wrist strap releases..

[AntonMoquin-vgsy]

This dude is named after a bow part.
Of course you should listen to him

[Wickedstickyflowers]

Why is my release letting go before I draw back .
My trust in it is gone now what?

[bham]

Skip the lip and if you use a buckle, anchor the top knuckle of your thumb in the notch behind your earlobe. Notch and nose just work better (for me).

[Fth]

Don't forget keeping your elbow up level and to use your back muscles, Not your arms when you're drawing back👍

[BassBucksOutdoors]

Did cam really just say a “nice slow squeeze”?? 😂😂 the dude is a living legend, has taken more bulls than I would in 3 lifetimes, and punches the trigger possibly better than anyone else in the world and I’m not knocking him for it, but this dude does punch the trigger hard as all get out! 😂

[lukethomas]

Should arrow shaft be so close to the riser?

[slimpickens]

Do you have a bow that could take down a dragon?
