Tips |
|
After reaching your anchor point, concentrate on where you are placing
the arrow point on the target with your conscious mind, while pulling
your bow draw arm elbow back towards an invisible wall and relaxing the
back of your string hand, which will relax your fingers on the bow
string and release the arrow. Doing this, will develop good shooting form,
which in turn will increase your score. Concentrate
on aiming with your conscious mind and let your subconscious mind
release the arrow. When the arrow is released, the string hand should
brush your face, going straight back and the bow arm should go forward
and left for a right hand archer, the opposite for a left hand archer.
The idea is to occupy your conscious mind during the shot sequence, so
the subconscious mid can release the arrow.

Use the string bow to develop shooting form
by learning how to shoot, by activating your
back muscles to release the arrow. |
|
Concentrate on the spot
where you are placing the
tip of the arrow to hit the
center of the target until
the arrow hits the target.
The arrow point will move
around while you are focus
on where you are placing the
point. let it move, as it is
impossible to hold it still. |

Move the spot where you are placing
the tip of the arrow, the distance,
up, down, left or right, that you
are from the target center, in order
to hit the center of the target. |
|
Should you be hitting your arm with the bow string, tuck
all the fingers except the index finger of the bow hand against the palm and touch
the index finger and thumb together. This gives you about a
30/45 degree angle of the bow hand away from the riser and
lets the bow move forward and sideways upon release,
Stand tall, form a "T" with your body, draw to your
anchor, keeping your head straight, draw arm elbow slightly
higher than level and relax the back of your string hand so your
fingers will relax and release the arrow, brush your face
upon the arrows release, as you consecrate on aiming!
Occupy your conscious mind by aim, aim, aim, aim until
the subconscious mind releases the arrow. You can use other
words or even phases to occupy your conscious mind so it
does not interfere with the shot.
