Archery Basics: Key Points of Archery Pusher Technique

Hand shape
Bow pusher
The bow pusher is generally 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 body.
In fact, the so-called bow pusher is very literal, the hand that pushes the bow.
Hand shape of the bow pusher
The left hand is raised horizontally to the side of the body, with the palm facing down, and the hand is 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 handle of the bow, embedded in the deepest part of the handle. The index finger and thumb are naturally placed on both sides of the 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 bow 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 bow pusher.
