Breathe!!!!

Hi!

To participate this Sunday, June 26, please reply with your name, right or left handed, and if adult or youth via  learnarchery@yahoo.com so we can be sure to have enough equipment.
 

Please arrive a few minutes early to gear up, put your sight on the bow and sign in. Begin to learn your distances and target face size by putting them on the appropriate target.
This one hour class allows students to gear up & continue with training .

 We have been working on scoring and understanding the ins and outs of the process.
We have also been fine tuning the form elements and breathing.

Breathing
Breathing should be as consistent as the other elements of your "process". Timing is a big part of the steps you are going through. If you take a deep breath and hold it, then pull back the bow string, you will find that you are "up in your chest" and loose the flat back and center core stability. The sight will jump and beat with your heart, making aiming challenging, and you may release the string prematurely because you simply can't hold your breath anymore. Breathing should be timed to bring air in as you open the bow, and slowly let about half of fit out  as you come to rest at full draw anchor. Practice this at home with a string or stretch band, and when ever possible, practice in front of a mirror so you can see the results of the changes you make in your body position.

See you on the range!

We had a hot soda winner last Sunday!

We had three from the beginner orientation all hit "3 in the gold" for the hot soda competition on June 4th.

The 10, 10, 9 took the soda!

Many are getting quite skilled and are out at the 40 cm /18 meter distance-we have several bare-bow shooters that are really grouping out there too.

The close distance remains for our new shooters, and for those that are working on a specific skill using "blank bale" close training.

 Come in a few minutes early to gear up, put your sight on the bow if using program equipment ,and sign in.



Winner from June 4

Sunday Training session reminder announcement, May 1st 2011

 

Session will be back open tomorrow. Sessions start at 3:00.

Once  you have completed the orientation session, and perhaps further training, join the group for Ongoing Training Sessions held in Canton at Big Woods Goods archery range on Sundays from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.

To participate this Sunday, please reply with your name, right or left handed, and if adult or youth here, via  learnarchery@yahoo.com ,so I will have enough RH and LH bows.

Training Tip:

 If you have your stretch bands- look in the mirror and practice form and release. If you don't have a training band yet, you can still stand in front of a mirror and place a piece of tape on the mirror as a target point to laser point your eyes to,  and go through your shooting sequence.

Setting up a list of your steps is important. Get a piece of paper or a small notebook and begin with "stance"; make a mental note of how your feet should be placed on the line and under your shoulders-are they at the same angle? Feet parallel? and continue from there.

If in front of the mirror, look at your form and how your feet are positioned

.

You can make a string band from a luggage tape or thin rope so you have a "stop" when you pull back on the loop and anchor under your chin.

If you have your own equipment, you can do the same training , except for string release part, but hold under your chin and time it as long as you can hold in correct form.

Rest for twice the time you held.

Repeat.

This training builds strength and ability to hold steadily those few (3) seconds you are aiming.

 
Thanks-if you have already responded.

See you on the range!
