To participate
, Please reply with the day and time selected in
the subject line. and your
name, right or left handed, and if adult or youth via learnarchery@yahoo.com if you have
not already done so, so we have enough equipment and staff available
We will play a few rounds of “ Knock Out” with variations to warm up, and then focus on training routines, and how to implement them to improve your results.
Training: Steps.
Training in archery focuses on form. Each step in your routine should take the same amount of time, each and every time, to get the best accuracy. Consistency is about repeatability. The entire shooting process should take about 10 seconds, with about 3 seconds to aim. Variations on that, results in variations at the target.
Even though some days you may just feel like slingin’ arrows- train by focusing on one specific element. (examples: hand position in the grip; fingers positioned on the string; breathing; head position does not move; string touches nose, etc,..something form related, and specific.) . Yes, we all step up, shoot, and repeat, but, to improve, have something specific to work on.
The best way to settle into a routine is to write it down, and note your specific variations for your routine. (example: I must always close my left eye, and turn my draw arm elbow out, and I put those elements into an auto-pilot sequence). As you add in new skills, old ones become sub-conscious elements. It is crucial that you add-in a specific element, work on mastering it, then add another .Be willing to expand and add new techniques. If you build on top of elements that don’t support your goals, you will be building sub-conscious elements that will be difficult to unlearn.
Form evidence in outdoors at long distances, stamina in tournament during long sets
Poor form shows up as we move to longer distances, and really shows up during a long set of shooting. Timing will begin to become consistent as your elements build, and endurance will be a natural by-product of proper form, frequent, scheduled practice and SPT’s.
Typical steps useful as an outline in various styles- compound, recurve, barebow. (note: aim is far down the list!)
1.Stance & posture
2.Nock
3.Set : hook string & place bowhand
4.Mindset
5.Set-up
6.Draw/load
7.Anchor
8. Load & transfer to hold
9.Aim & expand
10.Release
11.Follow Through
12. Relaxation and feedback
