Eye focus-what are you aiming at?
Seems so simple, doesn’t it? Just aim at the gold and release!

Then why don’t all the arrows land in that sweet spot in the center?

Yes there are many factors in form that need to be addressed, but learning the technique for aiming can add improved results. The goal is to hit the target…so, be sure you are aiming at a very specific point on the target-not the aperture, not toward a target area, but a very specific point. Aiming is not done until the archer reaches “hold”. Aiming before that, produces inconsistent results. Aiming requires just a few seconds- but does require the few seconds, and we teach the basic 1,2,3 timing from the beginning.

Consciously get to hold, then allow  the time to focus through the aperture to the point you are aiming at. For barebow 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.

Take a look at world champion Brady Ellison and how his eye focus remains at the target after the release of the arrow.

APRIL 23 & 24 : Wrist position, Thursday 7:30 session

In this message:
Thursday 18 meter range sessions,
Saturday & Sunday: Draw hand wrist position

NOTE : if you register for a session and need to cancel- PLEASE advise ASAP via text to 404-457-6766 as it determines how we schedule the slots and if others may fill the limited slots.

Training this week
Saturday/Sunday Training: importance of the wrist and its influence on back tension
The "set position" begins the motion of the back by placing the fingers on the string and cocking the wrist in such a way that the angular shot sequence aligns for the "coiling" rotation around the body. Often students cock the wrist toward the bow arm rather than away, which starts a linear arm pull and loses the strength provided from the back muscles. The goal is to set the fingers and wrist in a position to have the upper back arm (called "lan 2") start the movement, being pulled by the back, rather than the arm. We will also work with paint bucket drops to simulate this wrist position.

 

Left: Incorrect   Right: Correct

______________________________________________________

Archery Class Training Details: SCORE
BASICS:
Indoor distances are either 9 or 18 meters, with either a 60 or 40 cm face.
New students ( adult or youth) will be assigned 9 meter distances as this class is designed to offer the fundamentals of scoring, while providing continued training to enable students to progress to further distances.


Each month, on the third weekend we score.
Great opportunity to learn the ins and outs of what each ring is worth, the power of the lines that edge the rings, what arrows may help in a strategy to gain points, and how to keep score.
If students are a member of the Learn Archery & USA Archery JOAD/SOAD program, they can use this session to earn rank and pin awards. This continual "dry-run" makes scoring at a Tournament event more comfortable .
Youth are to learn how to do this, independent of parental supervision.

Scoring Class Basics:
Please arrive early to obtain and fill out your score card with name, distance, and date .
 

• First scoring arrow begins at time slot of session. Arrive early  to have practice/sight-in shots.
• In order to complete the 30 arrows for indoors, students must be geared up and on the line at start of class, with scorecard filled out and ready to go.
• Those with their own arrows may shoot 6 arrows each end which will allow completion of scorecard if "on time" start.
• Earning pins? must be both a USA Archery Youth, Adult or Family member & Learn Archery JOAD or SOAD member- print USA Archery membership card
• Those seasoned JOAD SOAD members using program arrows will start with three arrows, unless class numbers permit 6 arrows each end. ( student may not finish in time allotted if using only 3 arrows).
• New students focus will be to learn protocol, and how to complete the score cards, and will shoot 3 arrows per end (will not end with a completed a score card due to time considerations.) Adults not scoring at their appropriate distance of 18 meters with correct 40 cm size faces, or students not members of JOAD/SOAD and using program arrows will use 3 arrows each end for time considerations for those earning rank , and may not end with a completed card.
