Write it Down
Training in archery focuses on form. Each step in your routine should take the same amount of time, each and every time, to get the best accuracy. Consistency is about repeat-ability. The entire shooting process should take about 10 seconds, with about 3 seconds to aim. Variations on that, results in variations at the target.
The best way to settle into a routine is to write it down, and note your specific variations for your routine. (example: I must always close my left eye, and turn my draw arm elbow out, and I put those elements into an auto-pilot sequence). As you add in new skills, old ones become sub-conscious elements. It is crucial that you add-in a specific element, work on mastering it, then add another. If you build on top of elements that don’t support your goals, you will be building sub-conscious elements that will be difficult to unlearn.
Be willing to expand and add new techniques. Poor form really shows up during a long set of shooting. Yes, we all step up, shoot, and repeat, but have something specific to work on.
Typical steps useful as an outline in various styles- compound, recurve, barebow. (note: aim is far down the list!) Add your personal variations!
1.Stance & posture
2.Nock
3. Hook & Grip
4. Set(Posture & Alignment)
5.Set-up (raise bow)
6.Draw to load
7.Anchor
8. Load & transfer then hold
9. Aim & expand
10.Release
11.Follow Through
