HOW TO PROPERLY FIRE A THUMB TRIGGER RELEASE

To execute the perfect shot with a thumb trigger release like the Nock 2 It, your thumb to trigger presentation, and loading your thumb with the proper pressure at the proper time, is paramount to the perfect shot. In this video, John Dudley will teach you how to bring all of these elements together for sweet, shot perfection!

Finally the comment section is open. I’ve had so many questions I couldn’t ask the past few years. Never understood the thought process of closing the comment section on tips videos

This is, hands down, the most concise and easy to apply instruction on a thumb release I've ever seen. Now I don't know shit, so take that for what it's worth lol

Great vid Dud 🤘🏼 NockOn!
I appreciate all the free coaching JD you’re a total jewel to all of us in the NockOn Nation!

Thanks for all the tutorials. 
I Feel very privileged to live in an age where I can learn from a pro for free!!!
It’s also nice you found a new passion after Nirvana split up 😉

Damn. Just pick up the nock 2 It. Watched this and I can’t believe how much tighter my groups are. Thank you

[chrisreed]

Thank you so much for all of the education that you have provided to all of us. I struggled so much with “punching the trigger” with my thumb button that I switched to a tension release which I love.

After watching this video I can’t wait to get home to try this technique.

[jmyersjm]

Really learn from your simple techniques. Will have to practice this as I have been wanting to switch to a thumb. Thank you.

I just want to say thank you so much for all your free coaching. I had target panic so bad I would yank the bow and miss the whole target. You taught me to focus on every step.. Feet, grip, shoulder, anchor, peep, and execute the shot. For myself I even added an extra step which is posture. I noticed for some reason I would lean. I learned trigger control with the Back Strap release and now I've graduated to a thumb button release with no issues. My shooting is so much better because of your videos. I'm calm at full draw now and most importantly I enjoy shooting again and I can't wait to shoot any chance I get !!

I put mini Zip ties on the barrel, clip the ends off then I index the high points of the zip ties on the crease on my thumb. This Gives you and incredibly consistent draw and thumb position.

Thank you JD for answering a question I asked someone else last week but received no reply. This is exactly what I needed to know. Very clearly explained as always 🤘

That was the best training aid for a thumb I’ve seen. Shot a index/wrist release for 30 yrs. Trying now for a thumb release. Seems very awkward with the palm outward and hand upside down. Very strange position. I’m still learning to relearn in my mind.

[timbow]

For me going to a thumb was a good change. After you finally find the best sweet spot adjustment for the thumb position you won’t believe how easy it is to break a smooth controlled shot. We are talking hundreds and hundreds of shots just to get the right setup and feel. It’s a process to ingrain the routine into your brain. Then the shot break will be like 99% automatic. Because your mind and vision will be focused on the target spot. You will basically automatically began to pull and as the pin settles into its smallest float the shot will break. It’s the easiest most controlled shots you will ever make. YOU WILL NEVER NEED TO PUNCH THE KNOB AGAIN!

First thing I bought was that shot trainer. It's an invaluable tool for learning and to maintain form

[nockit]

Great presentation. Awesome information to make us better. You sir are a living archery legend.

[philosophicalneanderthal]

just bought you version 2 of this release and absolutely love it.

[curtiscosta]

I’ve shot a wrist release for 30 years!
I’ve look at this type of release but I’m nervous about how much it will change my anchor and how much different using my thumb rather than my index finger

[CorsA.GT]

i love watching john shoot, it somehow calms down like i can't

[GBBLGBL]

This is SO good!! Thanks John. You have such a great way of explaining and teaching the small but VERY necessary details of shot execution!!

[tjblackforest]

Good advise! Thank you! Thumb positioning is also a little bit of a individual I think

[hamedizzy]

You should make a UV button nock on version. It’s the best button release on the market and it’s in deniable. You already have a partnership with the grip.
