Preparation
Position Your Body
- Stand facing the target, keeping your shoulders and feet perpendicular to the target
- As you draw your bow, keep your back straight and your head level with your shoulders
- Keep your hands firmly on the grip of the bow to maintain consistency with your draw
Draw
- Draw the bowstring evenly and smoothly until your bow hand reaches its anchor point on your face or chest.
- In this position, your forearm should form a 90-degree angle, with the bowstring stretched taut and your elbow locked in place.
Aim
- When drawing the bow and aiming, your dominant eye will be used to align the bow with your target. Close the non-dominant eye to help focus the aim on the target.
- Ensure your elbow is still locked in place and you are still in the correct position.
- Keep the bow and your body still as you focus on the alignment.
Release
- Once aligned, draw the bowstring back until it reaches the back wall and hold it in place.
- Keep your focus solely on the target and maintain a consistent aim.
- Pause a moment before releasing the bowstring and allow your body to naturally settle while you aim.
- Once settled, release the bowstring with a steady and smooth motion.
