Feb 2, 2013 Training: Basics

Patterns Quadrant taining:
After warming up with a few rounds to get sighted in, we will work on specific training with "blue tape".
Where are your arrows landing? What quadrant? We will section targets off with the tape, and as you shoot , focus on process, and you will see the patterns of arrows and how they reveal what to adjust in equipment or form. I will have sheets for you to record patterns over a few ends.
Eqpt Training Tip:
Numbering arrows, shooting them in order. Use of this process gives indications as to arrow errors, or form errors, and shows up in the patterns. Easier with your own set of arrows because you begin to notice groups forming within the dozen arrows you shoot, but very effective with the program arrows. Shooting 1,2,3,4,5,6 then 6,5,4,3,2,1...if 6 is always out no matter which sequence you shoot, it is not you. Arrow nocks can be off just a hair and cause variations. If the last arrow shot is always out-you may be showing fatigue.


4 tournament opportunities coming up.

Participation in any of these is a great experience.
