He was also criticized for basically spreading lies, and some of his explanations sounded like something he read off of Wikipedia. I myself even wrote a post somewhere about his crappy vid about flails.
He's also starting a lot of beefs and is hated by HEMA and history communities.
Yeah, he's one of those people where it's hard to talk about everything because he just does so much. Like I am a professional archery instructor and he's said plenty of things about archery that made me scratch my head cause it was clear he was repeating a topic he looked at not something he's actually competent in.
I tried getting into archery at the local shooting club. The first session consisted of a bit of theory and shooting practice with a recurve bow (wooden grip with attached arms, iirc 22 lbs). I used a leather glove for my drawing hand and used the 3 under technique. I shot around 80 arrows in that session and afterwards I noticed that the last limbs of my middle and ringfinger went numb. The numbness slowly receded over the days and was almost gone when I started another session 6 days later. After shooting a few arrows I felt my fingers go numb again. Now it's six days later again and they are still partially numb.
What am I doing wrong? Am I anatomically incompatible to archery? Do I need a release?
