Step 1
Stand with your shoulder toward the target. Plant your feet parallel to the target, shoulder width apart. Use either the closed stance or modified open stance. Hold your head straight, turned toward the target.
-
Step 2
Hold your front arm straight out toward the target. Your arm should be at the level of your shoulder with a slight bend in the elbow. The back arm bends to have a shoulder level pull of release.
-
Step 3
Load the bow. Hold the arrow in your hand with your fingers away from you. Knock the arrow beneath the nocking point on the bow and snap it on the string. Set the length of the arrow on the arrow rest.
-
Step 4
Draw back with three fingers beneath the nocking point on the string. Bring the string right up beside your nose. Your fingers will be along your chin.
-
Step 5
Aim down the straight line of the string, along the arrow.
-
Step 6
Release the arrow properly. Let your three fingers slide off the string as you pull your hand directly back in a straight path. If you have sighted the target correctly and have had a correct release, your arrow will fly into the target.
