Archers need to learn a shot sequence because they need it to perform and you need it to help them perform better
Stance
Have one foot on either side of the shooting
line Your body should be centered over the shooting line Feet parallel
Feet shoulder width apart
Explain to them that there are different methods of standing, with feet slanted instead of parallel, but that they will just be learning this method
Nock
- Place the arrow on the arrow rest
- Nock the vane below the nock indicator
Have an arrow on hand so that they can properly see the nock indicator and give visual examples
Extend
- Place bow hand on the riser using only the web and meaty part of your thumb
- Turn your bow arm 45 degrees
- Place three fingers on the string, 1 finger above the arrow, two below
- The string should rest on the first groove of their fingers
Use your discretion on any other descriptions
Pre-Draw
- Raise bow
- Begin drawing the string of the bow
Tell the importance of raising the bow up high and how that is linked with settling into the draw and not having to fight gravity
Draw
- Come to full draw
- Shoulders down
- Elbows up
- Use your back muscles
Make sure to point out proper form and the proper way to draw the bow.
Anchor
- Hand should be cupped against your jaw
- Pinky should be able to touch the neck
- String should touch lips and nose
Remind them not to be afraid of putting the string right against their face
Tighten hold
Aim
- Do not start aiming until this point
- Focus on the center, aim for seconds
- Do not stop expanding
Tighten Release
- Relax fingers
- Keep expanding bow arm
Follow-Through
- Keep your bow arm up until the arrow hits the target
Follow your hand through along your chin
Remind them that release and follow-through are closely linked together
What your archers are thinking is roughly equally important to what they are doing physically while shooting. If while drawing the bow they are thinking about where to put their trophy in their bedroom, or wondering whether their stance is really right, or wondering whether they have enough time to do their homework , they are doomed! To shoot well, their minds must be thinking only about what they are doing right then, as they are shooting.
A shot sequence combined with the Rule of Discipline
form the core of all mental programs.
If you have not been using a shot sequence in your own archery, coach teach thyself!
We continue to insist that if you want to coach intermediate archers, you need to be an intermediate archer. Experience can’t be learned from books. Intermediate archers need to learn a shot sequence because they need it to perform and you need it to help them perform better.
