    Perfect. No-one teaches this stuff when you're learning. What has taken me two years to sort out you've explained in nine minutes. Wish I'd had this years ago.

    This is the probably the most beneficial video for my archery, since I started shooting. Went from having mostly correct height, but a lot of left to right arrows, to really tight groups at 30m and 50m. Focusing now more on back tension, string picture and release rather than getting hung up on the clicker aiming. Can't wait to shoot 70m now.

    Thank you Ashe, amazing!!

    Animations helps a lot! Thank you for the video!
  • @anaghavarma3331
    This helped me soo much, even just yesterday i was really fixated on getting my sight correct and my form also started to collapse, it's really imp to pay attention to the flow of the whole thing, today's practice went much much better thanks to this video
  • @TheCockings
    Hi Ashe, great ability to put together, explain and clarify all aspects of each phase of the recurve archery technique. Thanks for this and all the other videos.
  • Hands down, the best explanation I’ve heard (and understood) about aiming. Thank you so much.
  • @188amandine
    Thank you. I have been struggling with this. Your description was just perfect and seeing the green circle move on the target was brilliant as I am much better with visuals.
  • This is fantastic information, I have not used my bow for 14 years and this brings helps to bring back my old school training. Thank You
  • @DualKatana
    An excellent, very clear video. It really helped explain a lot. Thank you.
  • @mocknugget
    An open ring really helped me mostly at 18m, my overaiming immediately got fixed. I recommend this!
  • @AlenPesec
