Traditional Archery Tips: How to Master the Mental Game
- 5 years ago
There are quite a few folks out there that will tell you that the best way to shoot a traditional bow is by shutting your brain off and going by feel. This might feel good and comfortable, but it is NOT a consistent way to shoot a bow.
The mental side of shooting a bow is every bit as important as the physical. Accuracy and consistency come from doing the same thing, the same way, every time, and we can’t do that by going on auto-pilot. You must develop a rigid “checklist” that you run through on every single shot. Especially when you’re learning, the process can seem complex and slow, but as you develop your shot, the checklist becomes more natural.
