Welcome to Knock-On Podcast where we bring you archery information and education that you can trust.

Knock-On was created as a way to bring all archers together regardless of the brand you choose or the style of archery you shoot.

Knock-On Podcasting will deliver professional insights to the latest gear,

proper shooting technique along with high-level equipment setup and tuning.

Knock-On Podcasting already already so we're just going to continue on here from the last podcast because I'm in the mood and I know all you guys are eager.

Plus, I'm now have my second glass of wine so things are flowing smoothly.

So the next question is going to be here from Jeff Jenkins and he's got a pretty cool comment here because I've actually dealt with this in the past.

He says that he can shoot an exit 20 yards. Explain what the magical process is that one needs to go through to shoot an exit 20 yards.

30 times in a row and repeat that performance three days in a row.

So yes, that is the magical question and I can tell you that if I had an easy guarantee for that, that would definitely be something I would charge for because then I'm sure everybody would pay for it and we would all be shooting 900s every Vegas and archery to get pretty boring.

But when it comes to being able to do that, when I work with students I talk with them about several things but one of them is learning how to shoot a tent and everybody has a slightly different way to do that.

But when it comes to shooting a tent, you have to be able to learn how to then repeat it which is ultimately when good coaching comes in because learning to repeat a performance is a good way to do it.

So the performance is obviously what accelerates you to the top of the pile so to speak.

So I've always just really focused on one arrow at a time because the reality is you can't control what hasn't happened and you can't control what did happen because obviously it already did a history but you can control what is happening.

And you really have to just focus on trying to increase the amount of good shots that you have in your quiver one arrow at a time.

And everyone is going to probably do that slightly different but for the most part when it comes to coaching, learning to set people up in a position and in a foundation that allows them to be the most consistent, the most times in a row

is really what coaching and learning good form is all about.

There's always going to be exceptions to the rule and I've been beaten by the exceptions to the rules more times than not but I can also tell you that for myself as well as many other high level archers out there building yourself in a foundation in a shooting form.

That is repeatable and consistent and can be kept in check easily is going to increase your odds for doing that.

So that really comes down to being able to keep your posture and your bone alignment correct and that's for me I'm a big believer in proper posture having a proper T formation.

Having your feet under your hips, your hips under your shoulders, your shoulders, elbow, front wrist, all in alignment.

The more that you change that, the more that you start reliant on muscle.
