The release is a critical component to accuracy and consistency in traditional recurve archery. I've seen a lot of guys, you know, doing all kinds of crazy things with their releases. You know, all this stuff. I think what happens is you find a lot of inconsistencies in your shot groups and your patterns because, your throwing that string, your plucking it, and your throwing that arrow flight off.

Guys like Jeff Kavanagh, Grizzly Jim at Merlin's Archery Adventures, those Youtube channels, I think they have some great advice for us. Jeff Kavanagh is my personal favorite he's a Canadian recurve archer, he is a special fan of Fred Bear Archery in particular. I've learned a lot from him as a a growing and up and coming archer. His video on that clean release has taught me a lot, I link to it below, you should check it out.

You know, it's important that we find our anchor point. We grip the string the same way every time. I do one above and two below. We grip that string and we anchor into our face the same spot every time; right?

So once we get an anchor then I get a second anchor. I have a second anchor point in the back of my head. So when I release I go straight back and I put my index finger right into that spot. That gives me two anchor points making it a lot easier to be very consistent, and to start shooting without even thinking about it... like in muscle memory.

So, I really encourage you to practice your release because a bad release will throw your shots off every time. Where as a good release can give you great consistency. Now, though... here is the secret sauce; right? If you don't do a second anchor, if your not going straight back. Let's say you go just like that, you don't even move your hand, you just sort of move your fingers out of the way. Or, let's say you come off like this. As long as you know how that affects the arrow flight and then you compensate for it... you know it's no problem. But, you got to know, and you got to be consistent, that's the biggest trick of all.

Consistency really does pay off the most in archery, in traditional recurve archery. So, practice that. Get an anchor on your cheek bone or in the corner of your mouth, get an anchor in the back of your head, and just bring that hand straight back. And practice that every time. You know, a lot of times what I will do is when I'm sitting around and I've got, whether it's a piece of furniture, a stick or something, I've even done it with my own two fingers. Just practice that clean release. That clean release is really going to give you a lot more accuracy, tighter groups, more consistent shot patterns, more reliable.

So, fly your elbow, anchor into your cheek bone, release straight back and find that second anchor.
And that's my tip for you today. Traditional Archery Tip, clean, consistent, reliable release... develop one for yourself and I guarantee you... you'll see a lot better shot groups, tighter more consistent, and more accurate.

God Bless You, I pray that you are shooting straight and I hope that you will pray for me that I may shoot straight as well.
