"Hi, my name is Charlie Labarda. I'm here with Expert Village, to talk about beginning archery. Now we will talk about our stance. I will stand pretty much; part of my body just facing a little bit at an angle. My feet position; it's just a normal stance where I'm comfortable that I've got my balance.
