Hi everyone,

I hope you have been doing well and are in good health.

Making "The Release" is something that has been on my mind for a while because it's a topic that comes up often when I am teaching. So I have compiled those notes into a tutorial, and I hope you may find this useful in your practice.

The Release (https://youtu.be/dON9iz1lgwk) is crucial because it is the last part in the shooting process where you can influence the trajectory of the arrow --- for better or for worse. This tutorial will help you identify and develop a good, expanding release.

Contents:
00:00 Intro
01:35 Three kinds of release: abrupt, collapsing, expanding
06:30 Follow through
10:08 Training tips:
10:15 - Classic Chinese saying
11:02 - 120% effort
11:57 - Tactile aim (static/mobile, quick/slow)
13:18 - Good expansion for any hand/ring/poundage
14:56 - Multi- vs. Mono- vs. Zero-tasking
15:48 - One smooth process
17:39 - Defeating “panic”

Thank you Justin!
That is the most thorough and concise tutorial on releasing I've seen.  Excellent.
