The posture and key points of archery mainly include the following aspects:
Positioning: The archer stands on the starting line, with their left shoulder facing the target position and their left hand holding the bow. Their feet are shoulder width apart, and their body weight is evenly distributed on both feet, leaning slightly forward.
Place the arrow: Place the arrow on the arrow rest, with a single colored main feather facing oneself, and fasten the nock groove of the arrow onto the bowstring buckle.
Buckling: The right hand uses the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to buckle string, with the index finger placed above the arrow nock and the middle and ring fingers placed below the arrow nock.
Before drawing the bow: When lifting the bow, lower your left arm and rotate your elbow inward. Use your left hand to push the bow and secure it in place.
Drawing the bow: Use the force of pushing and pulling with the left shoulder and the right shoulder to pull the bow, and continue to pull it until the right "tiger mouth" is in the lower jaw position.
Aiming: During the process of drawing the bow, simultaneously connect the aiming points on the eye, crosshair, and target into a straight line.
Release the string: After opening the bow and aiming, continue to apply force to the right shoulder, while quickly opening the three fingers of the right hand that is being strung, and the arrow will be shot.
Relax: After the arrow hits the target, relax the left arm from wrist, elbow, shoulder to the whole body in sequence.
Archery is not only a sport, but also a culture and art. The correct archery posture and key movements can help shooters better utilize their strength and improve the accuracy of archery. Meanwhile, archery also requires proper breathing and mental state to achieve optimal results.
