Standing Tips For The Archer

What a player of archery or an archer should remember especially when he or she is on the field during the game is to always relax. Relaxation is probably the key to a good, non-quivering, and accurate shot because when you are relaxed, you already feel confident that you would be able to make a perfect shot at your target. The archer's stance should be calm and confident, making sure that his or her feet is parallel to the target and is slightly apart to relieve pressure and for stability.

Even when aiming, the archer should always remain calm and collected to have a steady grip on the bow and arrow and for him or her to keep the string in front of his or her eye so that they would be able to look directly down the arrow to judge the left and right alignment. They say that the up and down alignment is the hardest part in archery, but not losing your composure and concentration could guarantee that what you may have is the perfect aim or shot. The hardness on this stage would then pass once the archer become more seasoned and practiced.

When letting go, just let go. Yes, there is no better way or technique that could help you enhance your shot but still, let go with all your might and keep a steady stand until the arrow hit the target.
