Recurve bow shooting posture

Recurve archery is a highly technical sport, and correct posture and movement essentials are crucial to improving archery performance. Here are some key postures and movement essentials:

Standing posture: Stand straight with your feet parallel, hold the bow with your right hand, and place it in front of your body to the right3.
Bow-raising action: Use the right hand's base to grasp the position of pushing the bow, hook the arrowhead position of the bowstring with your left hand, turn your head to the right, and look at the target in front of you (look at the target paper with both eyes).
Bow-drawing action: When drawing the bow, you must first make a pre-drawing action, and at the same time transfer all the power to the back muscles, and keep the power of drawing the bow without stopping or interrupting.
Positioning action: Put the bowstring between the nose and mouth, and put your hand under the chin. While leaning, your eyes cannot leave the center of the bull's eye.
Aiming action: While leaning, your eyes cannot leave the target paper, slowly move the crosshairs into your sight, and then aim with your right eye. During the aiming process, do not use your eyes to look directly at the crosshairs.
Release action: After locking the aiming area, it is best to release within 3-5 seconds. The aiming time should not be too short or too long. You should master the time and adjust the rhythm.
Fixed release action: The action after release is the completion action. After release, continue to maintain the completion action for 2-3 seconds to deepen the muscle impression and fix the correct recurve bow action.
In addition to the above basic action essentials, there are some details to pay attention to:

In the process of opening the bow, pay attention to symmetrical force, that is, the left and right hands each bear 50% of the force, so that the action can be more stable and less likely to shake.
Continuous force is also very important. Once it pauses, it is difficult to maintain stability, especially when using clickers.
When releasing, the three fingers hanging the string should be naturally relaxed, allowing the bow to rebound to the origin with its own strength. At this time, the hand extends backward along the chin without any change until it stops at the ear lip.
The fundamental goal of archery action practice is action consistency. Every time an arrow is shot, it is best that the action details are completely consistent, so as to keep the arrow landing point dispersion to a minimum. Beginners should focus on learning and practicing basic movements and gradually form muscle memory.
