Ever notice your sight picture start shaking more the harder you try to hold steady? In this video, I break down one of the most common mistakes archers make: Using too much tension at full draw.

Many archers (especially strong burly guys) think more muscle means more stability, but in reality, it often creates instability, fatigue, and poor accuracy by the end of the day.

I explain how reducing unnecessary upper-body tension and relying more on your core, quads, and glutes can make your shot steadier and more repeatable.

🧭 What You’ll Learn:
• How excess muscle engagement hurts aim and shot timing
• The ideal level of tension for accurate, repeatable form
• Where to focus your tension (and where to stay relaxed)
