The Hidden Risk of Using Recurve Form on a Compound

The KSL Shot Cycle and NTS system are powerful tools for recurve archers—but they’re not a one-size-fits-all solution. If you’re a compound archer or a coach trying to follow these techniques exactly, you could be setting yourself up for shoulder impingement or long-term injury.

In this video, I break down why scapular retraction before the draw can be dangerous with a compound, and why letting your scapula follow your collarbone naturally may be safer and more anatomically correct for many archers.

Coaches rarely talk about this, but they should. Whether you’re shooting compound or recurve, understanding shoulder mechanics is essential for long-term health and performance.
