Stand at a right angle to the target, with your feet shoulder-width apart. Ensure your stance feels comfortable and balanced.
2. Nock the arrow
While holding the bow in a safe direction, nock the arrow by placing its nock at the designated nocking point on the bowstring, ensuring it seats properly.
3. Draw and anchor the bow
Hold the grip but avoid squeezing it tightly. Lift the bow to shoulder height as you draw the string back to your anchor point, ensuring that this point remains consistent for every shot.
4. Aim
Focus on the target using your dominant eye. If using sights, align them properly to ensure the arrow points toward the target.
5. Release the string
Once you have a clear sight picture, relax your fingers, or trigger the release mechanism smoothly to let the arrow fly.
6. Follow through
After releasing the arrow, maintain your focus on the target and allow your drawing hand to move back naturally, ensuring a complete follow-through for accuracy.
By following these steps, you will develop a consistent shooting technique that will enhance your performance and enjoyment of the sport.
