SHOOTERS TO THE LINE
Stand at line perpendicular to the targetDo not pick up bow or arrows
PICK UP BOW
Hold bow parallel to the ground, arrow rest up, strings toward you, and hand on top
NOCK ARROW1. Pick up arrow by the shaft of the arrow near the fletching2. Keep bow parallel to the ground3. Nock arrow with index feather up4. Keep arrow pointing toward the target
SET YOUR HOOKS1. Place 3 fingers on strings– Use first knuckle or fleshy part of fingers– Use index, middle, and ring fingers below nock– Pinky and thumb do not touch the string– Do not bend second knuckle or clench fist
RAISE THE BOW AND DRAW• Stay perpendicular to the target, raise the bow
to the ceiling and draw– Make sure you pull string all the way back
ANCHOR• Anchor somewhere around your chin or your cheek
– The anchor point should always be the same place– The single most important phase of shooting in archery is
consistency– Don’t panic…take your time
AIM• Using dominant eye or closing the eye farthest from the string,
look straight down the arrow at the target– Make corrections in your aim from one shot to the next by moving the
bow hand– Don’t panic…take your time
SAFETY CHECKS• Make sure finger and knuckle
is not near the arrow• Slight bend in elbow• One last check
SHOOT• When aim is good and you’ve gone through
your safety checks, just point fingers toward the target
RETRIEVE YOUR ARROWS• When given the command, walk to the target and retrieve
arrows– Put one hand on target as close to arrow as possible– Use other hand to grab arrow as close the target as possible– Pull arrow straight out
