Class Plans:
November 8th & 9th :"Crack Open the Bow"
Alignment- we often talk about how the process is angular, not linear.
The object is to start the bow hands and bow at that angled alignment "with" the foot angle at "set", and CRACK OPEN THE BOW into set-up. This process is not a linear "push/Pull". The bow string is NOT directly behind the riser but slightly right for a right handed archer and the riser is slightly left. This starts the power rotation. This is the place where an archer can get that loading we all talk about.
We will review techniques and form relating to initial position in form to gain that angular start, and "crack open the bow"!
