Sunday, December 2: "See your Shot"

Sunday Dec 2,& Wed Dec 5.

We often say: “See your Shot”, meaning bring your draw hand up so that it is in front of your face about nose height, in your line of sight to the target, and you will “see” your shot…see the hand that is holding the string. This sets your alignment into an angular rather than linier motion, allowing your draw rotation to take place more easily, and the back to load, as the bow arm is slightly off to the left (for right handed shooters).

“See your Shot” can also mean that you do not blink. A recent article reviewed greater successes in archery with a simple awareness of not blinking, and maintaining eye focus for the few seconds of draw /load /anchor/transfer/ hold/ aim/ release/ follow-through.

The mental portion of “See your Shot”, means to visualize the entire shot sequence in your mind with eyes closed, by removing yourself from the line, and mime the entire shot sequence, with eyes closed, no equipment, going through perfect form, seeing your shot, all arrows landing in the gold.

We will work on these training techniques this week.
