"Steady Eyes at Aim; Steady Bow Arm at release"
Aiming requires just a few seconds- but does require the few seconds, and we teach the basic 1,2,3 timing from the beginning. Aiming is not done until the archer reaches “hold”. Aiming before that, produces inconsistent results.
Consciously get to hold, then allow the time to focus through the aperture to the point you are aiming at. For bare--bow shooters-although there is no focus through the aperture-the training is the same.
A
common break in eye focus is watching the arrow in flight-a quick turn
of the head results in a change of eye focus right at the last second,
changing the aiming point. Eyes should remain on the target at the
chosen aiming point –“laser pointed”; head remains steady, fingers are
released by the last rotation and coil of the scapula to the spine.
The bow arm stays steady "until you hear the arrow hit the paper". We see many archers dropping the bow arm "with" the shot. Yes a wrist snap occurs, but a steady bow arm- solid as a steel post, can tighten up your group, and often results in picking up an extra point or two.

Take a look at world champion Brady Ellison and how his eye focus and bow arm remains at the target after the release of the arrow.
Any student participating in class needs minimum USA Archery “RECREATIONAL” membership ($15). See below.
