You Tube link (also in image below) of the 1000 arrow challenge at the Olympic Training Center, which demonstrates the maintained form after hours of shooting. Great video to observe many upcoming athletes and their overall form.
   

 


This weekend, we will  continue  to shoot distances when outside, while working with students to help them find that balance in release for each hand - from "hold" to release with string hand, and "sit" motion for the bow hand.(see the 1000 arrow video for examples)
