February 4th & 5th Training: Set up/See the shot
We often say: “See your Shot”, meaning bring your draw hand up so that it is in front of your face about nose height, in your line of sight to the target, and you will “see” your shot…see the hand that is holding the string. This is a "Set -UP" position, which sets your alignment into an angular rather than linear motion, allowing your draw rotation to take place more easily, and the back to load, as the bow arm is slightly off to the left (for right handed shooters).
When taking up the Set-up
position there can be a natural tendency to lean back away from the
target to counteract the weight of the bow, which will worsen as the
weight increases during the draw. It is therefore advisable to lean
slightly forward to the target in the set-up position to counteract this
natural tendency.

This is a "Set -UP" position, which sets your alignment into an angular rather than linear motion, allowing your draw rotation to take place more easily, and the back to load, as the bow arm is slightly off to the left (for right handed shooters).
“See your Shot” can also mean that you do not blink. A recent article reviewed greater successes in archery with a simple awareness of not blinking, and maintaining eye focus for the few seconds of draw /load /anchor/transfer/ hold/ aim/ release/ follow-through.
The mental portion of “See your Shot”, means to visualize the entire shot sequence in your mind with eyes closed, by removing yourself from the line, and mime the entire shot sequence, with eyes closed, no equipment, going through perfect form, seeing your shot, all arrows landing in the gold.
How to get to "set-up" and "See your Shot":
The set-up position, see photos below, is achieved not by physically drawing the string back by using the hand and forearm, but by positioning the draw shoulder and scapulae. It can be helpful when doing the set-up to visualize the string fingers being connected to the elbow via chains, which will allow for more relaxed drawing fingers, hand and forearm. The archer should be looking in between both hands at the gold on the target "See the shot". |
