Introduction

Hitting the bullseye consistently takes more than just luck—it requires technique, focus, and practice. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate archer, these 7 tips will help you shoot more accurately.

1. Master Your Stance

A stable stance is the foundation of good archery.

• Square Stance: Feet parallel to the shooting line (best for beginners).

• Open Stance: Slightly angled for better balance.

Pro Tip: Record yourself to check posture and alignment.

2. Perfect Your Grip

• Recurve Bow: Light grip—let the bow rest in your hand.

• Compound Bow: Use a wrist sling to prevent torque.

Common Mistake: Gripping too tight causes inconsistent shots.

3. Focus on Breathing

• Inhale while drawing.

• Exhale halfway, then hold breath while aiming.

• Release smoothly during the natural pause.

4. Train Your Release

A clean release prevents arrow fishtailing.

• Finger Shooters: Relax fingers, don’t pluck the string.

• Release Aid Users: Practice a surprise release (no punching the trigger).

5. Fine-Tune Your Aim

• Instinctive Shooting: For traditional archers (no sights).

• Sight Shooting: Adjust pins for different distances.

Drill: Shoot at blank bale (no target) to focus on form.

6. Strengthen Your Back Muscles

Archery relies on back tension, not just arm strength.

• Exercises: Rows, lat pulldowns, resistance band training.

7. Keep a Training Journal

Track:

• Group tightness

• Weather conditions

• Equipment adjustments
