Next tournaments will be held in Snellville Feb 21-23.
This Saturday ,Dec 14, is also an "Orientation" Training day. We will be ending class promptly at 11:30 to set up.
Last week we worked on several mental imagery training techniques , mimetic training, and focus training. If you can visualize your "perfect" shot, and shot sequence, your game will improve, your nerves will settle, and your timing will be more consistent.

Last week we worked on several mental imagery training techniques , mimetic training, and focus training. If you can visualize your "perfect" shot, and shot sequence, your game will improve, your nerves will settle, and your timing will be more consistent.
You should be able to close your eyes, and visualize that perfect shot, and reach a level that the imagery is so ingrained that you are able to be in a busy environment (grocery store, etc) turn your head toward your imaginary target, and while keeping your arms and body still, mentally go through your shot sequence, performing the steps and seeing the arrow hit the gold.
Often the equipment and nerves issues can be mastered with a break and mental imagery tuning before returning to the shooting line.
TRAINING: Quadrant Training
To aid your mental imagery, we can identify ways to tune the form up by seeing the arrow patterns on blank targets with blue tape that sections the target.

TRAINING: Quadrant Training
To aid your mental imagery, we can identify ways to tune the form up by seeing the arrow patterns on blank targets with blue tape that sections the target.
Patterns Quadrant training:
After warming up with a few rounds to get sighted in, we will remove target faces, and work on specific training with "blue tape".
Where are your arrows landing? What quadrant? 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 effective with the program arrows. Shoot 1,2,3,4,5,6 then 6,5,4,3,2,1
Example: 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.
