So I purchased the Precision Tuning course from The Push…here’s my honest opinion.

For me who’s pretty new to trad, it was worth it.

I'm still relatively new to traditional archery but I got Precision Tuning and Solid Archery Mechanics two years ago and have spent a ton of time with each. I find Precision Tuning to be very useful, and I think the best part of it is the troubleshooting section where they break down different form/technique flaws that can give you false readings on a tune.

Solid Archery Mechanics has been useful for me as well, but to a lesser degree. Like others have pointed out, Jake Kaminski pretty much has the whole NTS shot cycle that Tom covers on YouTube for free. Tom goes into greater detail with each part of it which can be helpful.

The troubleshooting helped me a ton. Something like different pressures on different fingers is something I’ve never had to worry about. This was a 25 yards today. I understand that’s nothing special. But I can confidently say, I wouldn’t be able to do that without some things I learned in that course.

I enjoyed the PT course and found it to be worthwhile and worth the $200 for lifetime subscription.
I've been building arrows for 30 years and shooting trad for about the same and learned a lot. The problem with finding all of the course instruction online is filtering through all of the BS and finding valid sources that present accurate information on the entire scope of bow/arrow tuning, let alone having it all in one spot. The Ken Beck video was great and informative but didn't even scratch the surface of what the PT course provides.

Most guys shooting trad for any length of time have a poor grasp to moderate grasp on these subjects. Understanding too stiff, too week, nock high, nock low, is one thing and being able to shoot bullet holes at 3ft, 6ft, and 12ft with a properly tuned set up is another. Most trad shooters out there are not capable of doing this on their own by simply watching a few YouTube videos. ... Let alone having proper archery form to execute said shot. And that's where Solid Archery Mechanics comes in. Think about all of the stuff "you" piss away $200 on and think of the lifetime of value that a $200 spend could bring. Also spending $150-200 on a dozen shafts and then wasting half of them with poor tuning methods gets pricey. That's my take on it, anyway.

The problem with all the information being out there for free is that there is also a lot of incorrect information out there for free and unless you have a lot of experience and a good understanding it is hard to discern what is useful and what is not.

There is value in having all of the information vetted and in once place. Especially for newer shooters.

This is the realization I had that made me pull the trigger on the course. Having the info for life and having new modules added is awesome as well.

A mate feels he had a similar experience with the Joel Turner Ironmind thing.

The Psycho trigger thing might be useful but it takes too long to execute which makes it limited in hunting situations where most of the time the animal dictates the timing of the shot.
You can't call in a fox to 10 yards, stop it then go through a slow mantra. you can't go through a slow mantra when a buck walks into a shooting lane for 1 second. The hunting scenarios where I can shoot in my own time at a guess would be at best 20%.

Joel was in Australia and when asked how to shoot in time pressured scenarios he simply said words to the effect- "just do it in auto"

80% of hunting is "in auto", there's just isn't the time to go through a slow controlled process.
For situations where you can shoot in your own time I can see merit. Hunting just isn't in your own time often enough.

You need a fast controlled process

Agree 100%

The biggest selling point for Joel is his son who is a competition freak.

I think what matt and cody have done to help the sport is awesome. I am not a subscriber, but I do send a lot of new shooters their way along with clum, Snyder and turner......

The one thing I do suggest everyone own is master's of the barebow. The volume 3 and 4 are great and for $15 its a no brainer.
