Advanced Shooting Technique Part II (1978)

Discusses advanced shooting techniques for archers, emphasizing the importance of refining basic skills to fit individual preferences and developing a positive mental approach. It details the shooting sequence, which is divided into two halves: the first half focuses on stance and positioning, while the second half covers drawing, anchoring, aiming, and releasing the arrow. Key points include maintaining a straight elbow during the draw, achieving a solid anchor, avoiding common faults that affect accuracy, and ensuring proper alignment while aiming. The release should be a natural explosion of the shot rather than a simple letting go, and the follow-through is crucial for consistency. Mental discipline and concentration are essential for developing personal shooting form. We digitized and uploaded this film from the A/V Geeks 16mm Archive.
