What bow should beginners use for archery

There are always various problems when beginners start. First of all, it is necessary to choose a bow with a small draw force that you can bear within your ability (the bow handle is light and the bow limbs are low, preferably 16 pounds to 18 pounds), because the small draw force bow can let you not be limited by strength, lay a good foundation for action, and avoid bad habits during practice;

Even if there is a problem with the small draw bow, the consequences are small, which allows you to exercise safely and quickly.

After you have a certain amount of experience, choose a bow with greater draw force and better performance (when you have a good foundation, you can choose a top-level bow handle, and the bow limbs are still basic. When the foundation is solid and the strength is stable, you can upgrade the top-level bow limbs and top-level arrows, which can increase the stability and improvement of your performance. At this time, it is very important to adapt to the feel of the bow handle. After all, the bow handle is not easily replaced, unless there is a problem, you will choose to replace it. )

Precautions for archery

2) When shooting, players must wear protective gear and take some protective measures.

a/ The function of the finger guard is to prevent the bowstring from hitting the hand after the arrow is released, to avoid excessive burden and cause finger injury, and also to facilitate the bowstring to eject smoothly.

b/ The arm guard is made of elastic material and is put on the left forearm. On the one hand, it strengthens the support of the left arm, and on the other hand, it can effectively prevent the bowstring from ejecting and hitting the arm.

c/ The chest guard is worn on the left chest to prevent the bowstring from hitting the body, and more effectively protect your heart.

3) When releasing arrows, you must not shoot at people, doors, windows, animals, etc.

Minors should use bows and arrows under the supervision of their parents.

4) Before using archery equipment such as recurve bows, make sure that all parts are properly installed and firm, otherwise it is easy to cause loss of personnel and bows.

5) Bows and other equipment should be inspected and maintained regularly. If any equipment with problems is found, it should be repaired and replaced in time before use.

The bowstring should also be disassembled at any time when not in use.

6) Do not play or fight with the bow. When shooting, go to a place where there is no one, no sight obstruction, open and large enough. When drawing the bow and releasing the arrow, do not aim at people, doors, windows, animals, etc. to prevent accidental injuries.

Key points of archery

1. Standing position: The archer stands on the shooting line, with the left shoulder facing the target, holding the bow in the left hand, with the feet shoulder-width apart, the weight of the body evenly falling on the feet, and the body slightly leaning forward.

2. Nocking the arrow: Nocking the arrow on the arrow stand, with the single-color main feather facing yourself, and the arrow tail groove buckled on the bowstring arrow button.

3. Buckling the string: Buckle the string with the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the right hand, with the index finger placed above the arrow tail, and the middle finger and ring finger placed below the arrow tail.

4. Pre-pull: When the archer raises the bow, the left arm sinks, the elbow rotates inward, and the left hand pushes the bow with the tiger's mouth and fixes it.

5. Open the bow: The archer pulls the bow with the force of the left shoulder pushing the right shoulder, and continues to pull until the right hand "tiger's mouth" is close to the lower jaw.

6. Aiming: The archer simultaneously connects the eye, the front sight and the aiming point on the target in a straight line during the process of opening the bow.

7. Unstringing: After the bow is opened and the right shoulder continues to increase force after aiming, the three fingers of the right hand holding the string are quickly opened, and the arrow is shot.

8. Relaxation: After the arrow hits the target, the left arm is relaxed from the wrist, elbow, shoulder to the whole body in sequence.

Archery standing posture

1. Side standing

Side standing is the most basic standing posture in archery. Its basic requirements are;

Stand with your feet as wide as or slightly wider than your shoulders, stand on both sides of the shooting line, stand slightly outward or inward, and keep your toes close to the center line of the bull's eye. The body and shoulders are in a natural straight line with the target.

Side standing is more natural, which can ensure the normal functional activities of internal organs and the long-term working ability of the organism. It is not easy to cause excessive flexion and twisting of the trunk, and the body will naturally become a straight line.

Archers can also make full use of the strength of their shoulders, better form linear force, easily master archery movements, and continue to use force more smoothly.

Once students have mastered the essentials of standing sideways, they can easily maintain a fixed body angle and a neutral position.

2. Exposed style

The basic requirements of the exposed style are: stand with your feet apart on both sides of the shooting line, the line between the toes of the two feet is about 35-45 degrees to the center line of the target, the left foot stands diagonally, and the right foot is parallel to the shooting line.

When the shooter adopts the exposed style, it is very convenient to keep the feet shoulder-width apart.

However, if the direction of the waist is in the same line as the feet, the bow arm will be pushed backward.

This makes it difficult for the shooter to maintain strength in the shoulder when the bow is fully drawn, which is one of the most common mistakes in this stance.

3. Concealed style

Stand with your feet apart on both sides of the shooting line, the left foot (for left-handed bow holders) is parallel to the shooting line and close to the center line of the target, and the right foot is slightly backward and stands diagonally, forming an angle of about 70 degrees with the center line of the target.
