Study Notes

Archery Lesson Summary

The first step in positioning for shooting is to straddle the shooting line and bring both feet together, then take a half step back with the target leg.
The second step is to simulate knocking the arrow from the quiver, ensuring the arrow is parallel to the ground and the point faces the target at all times.
The third step involves setting the drawing hand by hooking the archer's groove on the bowstring with three fingers and keeping the back of the drawing hand flat.
The next step is to set the bow hand, ensuring it is relaxed with flexible fingers and the knuckle at a 30 to 45-degree angle.
Pre-draw involves raising both hands forward with the bow arm and drawing arm relaxed down, followed by smoothly pulling the string towards the anchor point.
To protect the forearm from the bowstring, archers are taught to rotate the elbow down and away from the bowstring.
The aim involves using three reference points: string alignment, looking through or beyond the string at the point of the arrow, and putting the point of the arrow on the target.
Shot setup, the ninth step, focuses on getting the mind off the target while aiming, which is crucial for a successful shot.
Students are encouraged to repeat the steps of shot setup to reinforce the process: stance, knock, draw hand set, bow hand set, pre-draw, draw, anchor, aim, and shot setup.
Shot execution is not explicitly mentioned in the text, although it is a crucial step following shot setup in the archery process.
The lesson emphasizes the importance of proper stance, hand positioning, and mental focus in achieving accuracy and consistency in archery.
Throughout the lesson, the instructor uses creative techniques, such as pretending to use a quiver, to help students understand and remember the steps without being distracted by the bows and arrows.
