Training: "HOLDING" "FLAT BACK"
You hear us often say, “the most important step in archery, is HOLDING” . What this means is that the archer must get through each of the steps, and the moments before the transfer and release hinge on “holding”. A serious, on purpose, few seconds where all anchor points connect hard, the hand is in correct position on the jawbone, core is strong, and the internal expansion is happening, but the hold/aim is critical, steady, absolute…and brief. We will focus on “holding” during Sundays training, and the process of getting there, a perfect alignment... absolute, back muscles in place, where the archer can not be collapsed. We will continue to work towards body positioning/alignment, focusing on foot and hip positions and flat backs, for best stability.
