Archery Techniques - Hand Operations

The pusher is also called the front hand, which is the hand in front of the eyes when shooting arrows. It is also called the bow holding hand, usually the left hand.
Many novices have a misunderstanding that they hold the bow handle tightly when shooting arrows, trying to control the stability of the bow.
In fact, the so-called pusher is very literal, the hand that pushes the bow. The hand shape of the pusher is to raise the left hand horizontally to the side of the body, with the palm facing down, and the hand in an eight-shaped shape. The middle finger, ring finger and little finger are naturally bent and curled towards the palm. The tiger's mouth is facing the push handle of the bow, embedded in the deepest part of the push handle, and the index finger and thumb are naturally placed on both sides of the push handle. The palm fits and pushes firmly, and the thenar eminence exerts force.
There is no grip throughout the process, and no additional force is required. The whole bow can be stabilized by the pulling force after the bow is opened. Because the force point is concentrated, the pusher always maintains the tension forward, thereby reducing the disturbance of the hand to the bow body after the launch, and maximally ensuring the direction of the arrow release. The above is the technical summary of the pusher.
