At the Canton GA range
Last weeks focus was being prepared, and evaluating equipment changes for upcoming indoor tournaments . Students can begin with simple plans of SPTs( specific physical training) at home with stretch bands or bows, looking at equipment for indoors and making changes now if needed, and also start measuring progress for their own personal goals.
This weeks Training: "sit dog!!"
Bring a shoelace-wide , long (can be colorful or with a pattern if you like) to learn to make your own bow slings, sized to fit your hand.
You Tube video of how to make a sling:

We started basic training with “halt dog” to get the proper “v” in our bow hand position. Depending on the type of bow and style you shoot, gripping of the bow and dropping the bow arm creates errors at the last moment of the shot, and the idea is to shoot the bow and arrow at the same time…so the hand holding the bow must be relaxed, but purposeful ,so the sling can do its job as the bow seemingly “jumps” from the hand toward the target and rotates as the sling catches it.
From the wrist: “sit dog!” a snap at the wrist, with the sling doing the work to catch the bow. Bow arm stays STEADY.

Only the wrist snaps downward, with slight tension in the open thumb of the bow hand...bow arm stays steady-does NOT drop.
