Excellent site this, am looking forward to viewing more.

Well presented, leaving us hungry for more.

Left a comment, possibly in the wrong place asking a question already!

Thanks to both of you for your efforts and time.

Nice one

I like the presentation, no compromises, clear, simple and to the point.

Your comment is in the right place - we'll look at any questions that are asked (on the site or on here) and either address them directly, or potentially address more general topics based on comments / questions.

This has come at just the right time for me as I am having major problems with bow shoulder rising through the shot as getting through the clicker is a nightmare. I found this easy to understand and have tried it out this morning and seems to be alot better. so hopefully as I get used to it, it will become more natural. we,ll see
look forwards to next one.

I've had a lot of problems with my bow shoulder rising when I was just beginning a year ago I can keep it down now but this video was by far the simplest explanation of it i've seen.

Great video, the meaning is nice and clear for subjects which cause so much confusion!

Have a and some on me!

An absolutely tremendous site, watched the 1st 2 videos last night. I'm now eagerly awaiting the next installments.

Fantastic resource and I shall be advertising it to everyone at our club.

Like Grimsby Archer I had been taught to 'push' through with the bow hand and have been cultivating a high grip with a Jaeger grip to help this. It will be interesting at my next session to see how the 'pocket' can be achieved with that grip or whether I need to put back the original Winstar II grip.

Thanks Alistair and look forward to the next video.

I think the whole thing is brilliant, and can follow whats going on in my own little way...only thing I struggle with is finding a sling to allow me to keep my fingers out of the way as shown (I tend to flatten my hand as if to reassure everyone I'm not gripping but then there is a tendency to catch post shot). Is there an art to getting the right length between loops?

[paulw]

Just to echo all the other comments - great work and look forward to the next episode

Is anybody else having trouble downloading the podcast to an iphone. I have downloaded the podcast to itunes (title says episode 1, but it is actually episode 2), but when i try to sync my phone with it it says it is not possible as it will not play on this iphone. My iphone is a 3g one.

The videos need to be encoded slightly differently for the iphone / video ipods. The H.264 compression bit-rate that is used for the videos on the site and iTunes feed is too processor intensive for the iphone. I will encode the videos specifically for the iphone as well and put them up on a separate page with a link for download.

I will also investigate hosting a separate iTunes feed for iphone-encoded files (this may not be easily possible at the moment as I think we would need a new libsyn.com account for each feed, at 20-30 dollars/month per account, however if the demand is there then I will do it).

I'll post again when the iphone-compatible episodes are available (with a link). It probably won't be till tonight as can't do at work!

I've checked the titles / episodes of the iTunes feed and they seem ok to me. They will appear in reverse order as this is the way that iTunes downloads items from a feed.

Thanks to everyone who has given feedback and / or subscribed to the podcast on iTunes. We're currently at number 13 in the Sports & Recreation 'Top Podcasts' section which is pretty good going after 2 days.
